I feel sorry for SM Jayakumar. He was appointed as Senior Minister only on 1 April 2009 but had to retire the earliest and before the election. Why didn't they ask him to wait a bit longer and retire together?

Because only Harry can last that long.

If truly they resign it is a good thing. But as mentioned, no more state car, protection (ok if 2 permanent bodyguard), office or stay in Istana. But if this is wayang it will backfire.

This is new world of social media where the truth will come out. World were all policies have to be defended in public. And you do not even know who to sue. In his remaining years, MM should dismantle and remove relations from GLCs. People are pretty sick of it all.

actually as sign that MM still overwhelmingly in control, why my MM and SM quit at the same time.

MM is very old and we can see his health going south. But GCT till fine right. But yet he can force CT to resign. So MM still calling all the shots

Probably an arrangement for GCT to go GIC board.

High fucking time. Health Minister Khaw, can we send these two old useless fossil to JB please?

Can help by despatching them further north? They stink lah. Penang may be a nice place for them both to retire. In addition, both should return their salaries and bonuses wef GE 06. They did FO the past 5 years.

Will MM still remain boss of GIC? After all much of our $$$ all sitting in GIC. Hope he retires from all such entities and spend time with his grand children

IMHO, it's long overdue. The 2 old men have outlived their usefulness. Only in Singapore do one have 2 ex-PMs in the Cabinet, holding the PM's hands & "mentoring" him. It makes a mockery of the title of "<B>Prime</B> Minister" In fact, the positions of SM & MM are truely "uniquely Singapore", created by the Singapore Government.

Their remarks during the election campaign showed how much their styles are outdated to the electorate, both young and old, using threats against the electorate and questioning their opponents' credentials, among other things & caused much anger & resentment against the PAP.
