Oh no, Teo Chee Hean is not capable of doing anything, SAF torture treatment case havent really solve it yet.

And this guy doesnt really help his resident at all in his area. Remember the case of bus no.82? The sengkang resident begged him not to remove the bus no.82 travelling to shenton way, but in the end he cannot do anything at all.

And how come the reservit is getting so much tougher is because of him. He is the fucker that made reservit so unbearable. RT, RT all the way. Reservit so tough like as if I am going for my NSF again.

The brainless Teo Chee Hean now is becoming the DPM, God help us.

 

[Singapaporean]

Ho say liao...with his DPM pay..he can give better gift than the "miserable" schoolbag he personally picked as a X'mas present for a poor kid

 

[Singapaporean]

Maybe they should implement something like this for new appointment holders in the A Team

With an Ex-Military running the show as a DPM, it sure can't be good. It has been proven many a times in the commercial world that SAF produces more shit brain who can't do much but talk alot. With the organ of state headed by ex military regular or reservist officer it has come to become an autocratic autonomy.

talk about teo, in my ten years residing in his estate. I have never ever met or seen him in person. Let alone erection time also hardly show his face. And neither do I know what the GRC ever done for these estate for its people.

These buggers really think that its a sure win situation again and takes everyone for granted.

 

[commoner]

with DPM pay, a cheapskate is a cheapskate,,, same school bag because anyway not his $$$$.....

When Teo was Education Minitoots, students suffer, when he Defence, soldiers die more than normal,

Why Ass Loong appoint him as DPM and acting PM when Ass is busy,,,,

Because DPM WKS makes Ass Loong looks real bad with MSK fiasco,
Jayakumar, short and not make a big boo boo, so upgrade to SM
and Teo will perform badly to make Ass Loong looks good

Whether training tough onot is all relative....... to a clerk or cook the training is sibeh siong to them........ to a commando the RT is like a holiday camp

Teo CH was SEAL trained so the training implemented for RT is oredi very relak in his eyes

Teo C H is a reluctant politician .......... because of his family history and connections he was pushed into politics........ want out oso cannot otherwise MafiaLEE will "fun lian" :(

Behind the scenes he is the "kingmaker" of the MIWs...... what he say carry more weight than the other MIWs

To the PAPpies, Teo Chee Hean is an SAF scholar, the first batch of SAF scholars in Singapore.

To the PAPpies, SAF scholars is some big fuck, like as if they are really smart.

But to me, if the SAF scholars cannot performed at all in the commercial world and cannot even solved simple problems presented to them, these bunch of SAF scholars are like a piece of SHIT to me.

SAF scholars papers are like a roll of toilet papers, nothing useful but only can be used to clean your butt.

And Teo Chee Hean is like one of them, a piece of shit that cannot solve any problems, he is just like another Wang Kan Seng, cannot help the Singaporeans at all but only knows how to make our lifes' difficult that's all.

WKS most probably be promoted if not for Mas Selemat fiasco. But he will still be on top for bloodline is concerned.

Jaya to be SM is to dilute GCT's position, or GCT had the desire to retire.

Lim Boon Yang most probably want to become a French cook.

Lui's promotion is to anchor Tanjong Pagar GRC in case old fart dies.

Teo Ser Luck is the new poster boy for another "I don't know" minister Teo who had fallen from grace with TC and CDC fiasco.

All these promotions is to have anchors in the GRC when the election comes.

LHL is super insecure man! Most likely his AMK ward will be a 8 man GRC with 2 anchor ministers in the next GE. :oIo:

 

[DOM the Clown]

No!..they will be creating a new portfolio..Super Minister, SuM, in addition to SM , MM.....mmmmmmmm

NO lah! They are creating the UM post. Not Ultimate Minister or Ultraman Minister hor!........it's.....................Undead Minister!!!

If that is the case LHL felt so insecure, I have a suggestion, get all his PAPpies ministers to be invloved in his AMK ward.

I know all PAPpies ministers have their own ward to defend, but hey LHL is the next King of Singapore, so he changed and make new rules and regulations for this GE rite? He can says because AMK is the heart of Singapore, with the best fengshui that can brings fortunes and prosperity to Singapore in many years to come, and if this fengshui is broken, Singapore will be finished.

With just this simple excuses, he can gets all these PAPpies ministers to stand in as Calefare. So with all PAPpies behind him, who dares to take on him at AMK rite?

But do you see any Opposition doing any walkarounds now? So if not, then its a foregone conclusion that it will be a walkover in next election.
