CHIO KAR PENG!!!! Woody claims Dishonourable Son was not given special treatment in SAF and politics

[Johnrambo]

At an interview with state media CNA, Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong vehemently denied that Lee Hsien Loong was given special treatment in the SAF and the ruling party PAP led by his Prime Minister father Lee Kuan Yew.

Lee Hsien Loong was the world’s youngest Brigadier General and fast-tracked to a ministerial position and later appointed the Prime Minister in 2004.

Minister Goh Chok Tong blankly lied at the interview saying there is no “white-horse” treatment in the Singapore army and politics notorious for cronyism:

“I just look at who could be good candidates. It could be by another surname, that happened to be a Lee … Yes, he was the prime minister’s son, but I knew the system very well, that when he came in there would be others looking at you like a hawk, whether you had received any special treatment just because you’re the prime minister’s son… In the SAF, we had to be very careful when we recruited top civil servants’ children, sons, into the SAF, national service; ministers’ sons, judges’ sons. We had to be very careful they didn’t receive any special favours. This was very important because if they received special favours, you can’t expect the other national servicemen to support them. Likewise for Lee Hsien Loong. We have our own views in politics.”​

Sons of important sinkies are labelled as white horses to specifically ensure that they do not enjoy special privileges.

They have to get into OCS on their own merit. Tony Tan's son did not get into OCS despite his father being the Minister of Defence.

Mr Cedric Foo to Mr Steve Chia
NCMP Steve Chia tabled the issue of "White Horse" in Parliament in 2003

• the Singapore Armed Forces had a 'white horse' classification for NSmen prior to year 2000.
• to identify sons of influential persons to ensure such enlistees were NOT given preferential treatment.
• Mr Cedric Foo "Prior to year 2000, the term 'white horse' was used to identify sons of influential persons to ensure such enlistees were not given preferential treatment. And their medical classification and vocation assignments are scrupulously fair."

You are absolutely right. In fact he was not even given the privilege of being able to don a uniform upon his return from Harvard. He was forced to do his NS as a lowly civilian.

Wooden Goh is a congenital and incorrigible conman. It is a tragedy and shame that we sinkees till today still have to pay him as a redundant PAP MP
who do not contribute positively and do not add value to country. Wooden insulted the intelligence of the NSmen of sinkeeland. Many sons of sinkeeland died doing NS.
We sinkees spit on his face for telling lies to sinkeeland and the world.

He holds the record for longest deferment though. Given the length of deferment to be a scientist, one would think he would have been able to cure cancer, aids or at least be able to solve SG's water crisis. Instead, nope, he did not achieve anything significant for the country, no Olympic medal, no SEA games medal, no musical concerts of any kind, not even a top three winner on masterchef. No ordinary folks in SG other than his papa and mama knows how he looks like, and nobody cares.
