I would not even bother to vote. Would it be compulsory? :D BTW - Tony won by exactly how many votes? What is the total number of eligible voters? Technically, Nathan won by zero number of votes!

Seriously, why go through all the trouble and charade? LKY started this in case we ran into a government formed by the "opposition" parties. In the present situation we are not likely ever to have such a situation. We are more likely going to have a "PAP" government with "weak" leadership and...

Of course, yes! LOL :D

LOL! This is as good as not having an "elected" president. :D

Both of you are correct. The point is how to beat the PAP at their own game? 1 Can and will Tony go for another term? 2 Can we protest by not "voting" or "destroyed" votes? 3 The opposition parties combined "fighting" in and out of parliament? 4 How could we show our displeasure...

[B]How true! I was in NTUC Supermarket in Bedok yesterday. It was do crowded and I thought that I was in China! I felt that maybe I was in the wrong country, and I left without buying anything! I then went to somewhere more like Singapore and relax. I have given up on the 70 per-cent and...

For the record - In the Lehman issue, he stood up for himself, and the "lawyer" he "recommended" turned up to be a someone in trouble himself. :D

I reckon "one-third" Tony will be in for another term. After that a Malay "minority" will somehow be "invited" to "serve".

Just for the record - a "Jew" was our first Chief Minister. The second and last CM was "Chinese" baba who "sold" Christmas Island to Australia for a dollar (not counting of the bribe he received). He then sold himself to then Malaya. :D

Good summary. :(

If the whole gimmick is to "elect" someone akin to the current "president", the whole wayang if a totally waste of time. What "safeguards" has he been doing? Just enjoying good "holidays" and "meeting and having dinners" with truly important people to include in his record.:D

A good idea IF we are dealing with the truth of he matter. HOWEVER, this "Commission" is part of the wayang, the members were selected just to convey what current political wants. All a total waste of time and good money.

I believe that only when the Perm Sec was a doctor that they held both posts (Perm Sec/DMS)(eg Andrew Chew/Kwa Soon Bee etc). I believe now the Director of Medical Services is a separate posting of only "D" grade if it is still relevant in the civil service.

So Mr Khaw, after expressing surprise at the column, said: “He, of all people, should know that the process by which we choose prime ministers is anything but “opaque”. He has worked on many books with Mr Lee Kuan Yew, and heard Mr Lee describe in detail leadership succession in the People’s...

That's the whole idea/plan!:)

How is the relationship to the Kwa clan?:)

You have hit the nail on the head "If you haven't guessed it by now, this is the start of the long drawn succession exercise. The Brothel press was asked to float the 6 candidates and note the commentary for each, void of anything significant in terms of attributes, style or personality...

Surprising comment from you, but I have to agree. It is fortunate that my family does not depend on Singapore well-being. I am here only as long as it suits us.:)

Looks like SMRT and LTA are going around in circles and our harikari Khaw is suddenly loss for words.:D

Unfortunately, I tend to have to agree with you. Unfortunately, the WP is growing weaker because Low and S Lim are too afraid of being boiled by the PAP and is now having "erectile dysfunction" syndrome. Unfortunately, we have no good or even capable leaders in the opposition parties. We do...
