PS was a TV producer when he miked up Old Man to announce our separation from Malaysian where he cried and they had to take a break. Old Man was forever grateful to PS for his calming effect and guidance. He made him an Ambassador. So Bil had a huge leg up and with his sharp intellect, he took full advantage of it. Unfortunately or fortunately his mouth took over.
No relation. However Ravi has not been rated as a Central Banker while his Malaysian, Filipino and Indonesian counterparts are rated higher. I believe his background is econometrics and not known for strategy setting etc. So you will not hear anything profound from him. Nevertheless he rose quite fast despite his background.
I believe that Bilahari has done exceptionally well, possibly due to his father's connection, and his gift of the gap.
He is not any smarter than you and I.
That's the single malt talking. However he did suffer a profound personal loss which took a toll on him - but he eventually found his swag (or at least his mouth did). He still supports the national narrative about one people one country one singkiepore - the worse thing is he has also discovered FB so now he has another platform to sprout his profound thoughts. Privately I've heard that he claims he does not rate scholars but of course he will not publicly dare write about it. The Whites can do no wrong.....ever...and his continous support of that narrative is truly dishonest as he has quite the fanboy club and does not feel any responsibility whatsoever for co-opting those numbnuts......

I think it has to do with the father who is immensely loyal to the old man. Father is considered some sort of mentor to Nathan whose love for the old man is immeasurable. So there is 3rd PS who is related to the old man used to be PS MFA (forgot the name). So in the company of these 3, young Bil only knew one god.
Then he is not THE man like Shan!
Would Yeoh Lam Keong be a better choice?
Don't believe everything the fake Screwedball says. Lim Chong Yah is not related to the PM. He is related to the PM's brother, being Hsien Yang's father in law. Not the same.
He is smarter then most scholars I know. I would not consider him a farmer.
Ravi has been rated as B grade. Don't say he has not been rated. Any zikapore central banker will never get a high rating because they do not implement the best monetary policies for the country. They only implement the policies that the PAP tells them to implement, even if it goes against the common good.
the common good means slightly more than 69%. common good in sg means pap policies.
Bro, Foreign Service personnel are not part of the Admin Service. Its is a distinct service. For examples Ashok Mirpuri Ambassador to US and Vanu Gopal Menon High Commissioner to Malaysia holds grades that are now equivalent to PS but not part of Admin Service. MOF and all other Ministeries are helmed by the Admin Service.
Prof Lim was the head of the Econs Dept at that time, so how can he possibly be the supervisor to Ravi, not even a masters student at that, for his Hons thesis? Also you said Ravi is trained in econometrics but my understanding is that all econometricians are PhD holders.
Interestingly he could pick and choose, thats his prerogative and I suspect that he chose the topic rather than Ravi. You do not need PHD for econometrics just good grasp of advanced statistics. Heads of econometrics in MAS are not necessarily PHD holders. Their former head of Econometrics and Modelling and now their chief Economist does not have a PHD.
U are a voice of logic trying to reason with Screwedball, the faker. In any one cohort at NUS econs department, up to 10% or more of the cohort could be some sort of first class or second class honours winner. For Lim Chong Yah to personally supervise so many is ludicrous. He was too busy writing his Econs text book and making royalties off it. What Screwedball says does not make sense.
Also, it should be noted that Ravi never had much inclination to pursue further studies in econs. He does not even have a MAsters or Phd in Econs. He took a one year sabbatical to do the Mid Career Masters in Public Administration Program at Harvard University. Not likely that any senior faculty member in NUS will take the time to mentor some one with no intentions to pursue a dedicated career in econs.
