Good start for Dr Koh - well done!!!

[Prometheus888]

karma , oh karma........the natural irresistible, irrepressible and unavoidable force of universal justice.......

PAP's trickery and shenanigans reminds me of US' QE and money printing, believing that they can incur debts they never have to pay, while the daily piles of creditors just add up....

there will be a reckoning, maybe not today or not so soon,...but it will come....and massively

SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said PAP candidate Dr Koh Poh Koon can make a contribution not just in Punggol East but nationally.

He said when Dr Koh is ready and judged ready, Mr Lee will be appointing him to a suitable political office. "I think he (Dr Poh) can make a contribution not just in Punggol East but broadly, nationally. When he is ready, and I judge that he is ready, and we are ready, I will be appointing him to a suitable political office," he said.

PM Lee said this in response to reporters' questions about whether Dr Koh was being primed for a bigger role, following a walkabout at Rivervale Plaza early Saturday morning.

Mr Lee however said Dr Koh's first priority is to fight and win the by-election, as well as the trust of the residents and to be a good member of Parliament (MP) in Punggol East.

Calling Dr Koh a man with a sense of social responsibility, Mr Lee added he's quite confident that he will make a good MP, as he thinks he has got the character, the conviction and the commitment. "I'm quite confident he will make a good MP, and I think he's got the character, he's got the conviction, and the commitment to do that."

Mr Lee also reminded voters that since the last general election, the government has implemented many initiatives to improve the lives of Singaporeans.

He called on residents to choose a candidate who will be able to serve them well not only within the community but one who can contribute to the nation as well.

Mr Lee said: "You have to vote not tactically, to calculate which way you'll gain advantage, but really sincerely, to judge -- what do you support, what do you believe in and if you believe in that, support that.

promises promises promises.....


all to be broken, forsaken and dishonoured....

so what does it mean that they can just waltz in and pick someone never known to them all this while and suddenly induct him within a month into their inner ranks? It just means that it will just as easy to dispose....

so much for the "strict and stringent screeening" criteria which the PAP sets for their members... sounds like any warm body will do as long as he fits their script.....

Dr Koh is not a bad person but we hate the PAP for turning us into the kind of people who turn against them for everything they do.

Dr Koh, please know that we are aware of your half hearted in your attempts at RC work. You were not one who is suitable for grassroots work anyway and you know that you spent that time there not because you had nothing else better to do but simply because you were a B lister in the PAP crowd. That also explained why you were not even part of the PAP even though you are part of their grassroots network.

Suddenly, just because you fit the bill, the PAP has decided to make you the toast of town. You have people who used to not even give a shit about you, now knocking down your doors, you think you are someone special because even the PM is now bullshitting the masses into thinking that you are actually of ministerial calibre....

deep down inside you know thats not the reality or the truth.

you know that if the PAP merely wanted you to be one of them at the last minute, they dont have to wait for Michael Palmer to literally f*ck up, you better know that you are just the man of *this* moment and my last dollar tells me that if you lose this election, you are finished (quoting the favourite word of LKY).....

you are just another convenient puppet so please be real to yourself and don't think nobody sees through this......

i believe the good doctor is no fool. he should have the intelligence to understand where he is heading and what he is doing. i think imho that the good doctor is also no easy push over. he knows and i believe he knows what he is doing and what are the consequences should he not make it ...but i think the good doctor will walk into parliament simply because most residents and most voters and most people like to trust and vote in a doctor. doctors are still respectable and many are still held in awe. i do respect my own doctors and GP. i always believe they are good people. they should go into parliament and serve the people. like dr lily neo.

You really need to truly know a few more doctors kopi....

you will see that they are probably no better than the next guy on the bus.

By now you should be wise enough to know that labels and titles don't automatically confer good character and good principles in men......

Just like carrying around a badge does not make a policeman automatically a good man

Just take look at the fine example of the CPIB

i agree. this world is a diverse and complicated mess. there are good and bad in every profession. it's human nature - greed and ignorance. many of us cannot restrain ourselves. many of us will flirt with death, flirt with money, flirt with a philandering woman and we abandon our traditional values. sometimes, we cannot control ourselves. it's not easy to control our natural urges.

but i will admire those who have gone through all these and have become a changed person - a better person immuned to the temptations of the world. i would not cast stones at those who have gone astray because i know it's not easy to restrain our urges and refrain our temptations that come our way. we are tested all the time. sometimes we fail - and we fail painfully and miserably.

yes, i will have to widen my mind and see more things in the right perspective. labels are dangerous. a doctor may not necessarily be a good person. but i hope i will continue to have that wonderful feeling that doctors are good people who save lives. they should be good people imho.

I respect my doctor for his professional ability, always doing the right thing to bring me back to health but I have never regarded him as a suitable candidate for politics. He could be very willing to serve people but it is just that.

On the other hand the PAP may consider doctors as the best politicians. They are willing to serve the people and dirty their hands and they take instructions without question. Sometimes the best people to have under your wing are those who know in themselves that they are no good in those things that you profess in. They will leave it to you to decide and they will just do as you say.

I agree. Yes, some doctors are good professionals and they make poor politicians.But I believe most doctors can be good politicians if given the chance and if they are forced by circumstances to walk that path. We have seen a few such doctors who fought their cause with courage, with perseverance and with fearlessness despite years of suffering and hardship. That's why I beleive that doctors are actually capable people and they have the brains and also the courage if they really want to put their hearts and souls into their beliefs.

But most of them would prefer to sit by the bench and watch the show in the comfort of their homes. And just shake their heads in disbelief at what they are witnessing.

good doctor doing his rounds....carry on doc !
