Re: Dean Apologizes A Second Time To Shanmugam To Show His Sincerity! Oppies Learn Pl
He knew from the people that had been associated with IPS within LKYSPP that it was conceived to run shape propaganda as genuine research output. It has the likes of Janadas Devan, Gillian Koh etc . I recall he tried but decided for reasons best known to him to end up in the situation that he is in. There was also some sort of running war with him and Derek de Cunha on the interpretation of stats for politics. Forget what it was.
By the way, outside of IPS but within the wider LKYSPP not just Wong Kan Seng, it includes, Lim Siong Guan, JY Pillay, Ngiam, and all the likely critics and those who may turn against the govt. As they are senior people, it best to keep them occupied with a stipend, a nomenclature that sounds important and give them a purpose so the line is toed. You now do not hear a whimper from Ngiam, Tommy Koh. etc

I think over time, if you are not moved up, you belong to the other world, not theirs.
