I had not voiced any reservation about BG Tan of Marine Parade GRC. Why?

[shitonleeky]

I don't know how many people could remember this.

Years ago, TCJ was a young debater from some junior college in the finals on TV. Guest of honour was Wong Kan Seng. The title was (ironically) something like "MP's first loyalty was to constituents and not to party" Not sure which side TCJ's team was on.

I think there was a segment where members of the audience could ask the debaters questions and the debater had to answer there and then. I could not remember the exact question but I could remember TCJ in his response suddenly keh kiang and used Wong Kan Seng as an example. He said something like, "Take Mr Wong Kan Seng for example. If there is a conflict between his loyalty to the constituents and his party, the right thing for him to do is to RESIGN!"

The TV then showed a closed up view of Wong Kan Seng, visibly shocked and unhappy, but he quickly put up a struggled smile knowing that his is on TV. TCJ's team lost by the way.

Fast forward to the present, I wonder if TCJ would himself resign if there is a conflict between his loyalty to the constituents and PAP.

Priceless to see the reaction on fucking Wong's face

Sir Peter de la Billiere

This guy was No.1 MafiaLee's 1st choice...... Sir Peter was then the OC of A Squadron 22 SAS Regiment fighting the insurgency in Malaya...... he turned down No. 1 MafiaLee who then approached the SAS Operations Officer Lt. Bruce Niven...... who accepted the offer and became the Commander of the SPF Gurkha Contingent.

oh really??

He looks like a General. He looks like a man. I think unless stifled, tripped or plain junked into the back burner, he is the PAP man to watch. I am trusting my instinct. I am not trying to sabo him.

TCJ is going to be a future PM....... albeit a seat warmer PM just like his mentor Wooden. I am oso not trying to sabo him.

Capt Peter de la Billiare commanded A Squadron of the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment serving in Malaya from 1964-1966.

I think only Mediacorp has the footage. Even if anyone had recorded it (those days only VHS), the video tape would be very mouldy by now.

until proven otherwise, any PAP member slated to go far has proven incapable of significant reform. As such, should be treated with circumspection.

Technocrats like Tharman and GY are less objectionable, but they are there to do their jobs and not rock the boat and they do exactly that. I expect Heng Swee Keat to be that.

Those with a heart, who could be reformers. don't go far and are treated with suspicion by the highest echelons of the party. See Lily Neo, Tan Cheng Bock, Tay Eng Soon, etc.

Here's a real general:

TCJ was an acs boy who went to raffles jc.
In the same debate team was another acs boy who went to raffles jc. This chap became a doctor and went to afghanistan to live with and heal sick afghans. Was featured in the straits times a few months ago.

Singapore is the only place in the world where generals are decorated and is celebrated thoughout as an example soldier, an efficient general, a capable leader through his organization of a National Day parade. Truly unique Singapore.

Any private who has seen action in war is a much better soldier than any of the muppet "generals" we have here.

I'll say some generals deserve their decorations. Desmond Quek for one. Neo Kian Hong--lots of badges--much better than fakeones like Ng Yat Chung and of course Chan Chun Sing.
