Latest : Stoke Heng relinquishing PM post

Leadership is more to have the quality of being leader then being competent. Part of the job of the leader is to make people sit up and listen to him. Arrow the correct people to do the job and know how to wipe the ass clean when things go awry.

I don't quite understand why we are talking about meritocracy.

If the leader is incompetent, don't expect his minions to be any better. Most likely they are either fools or flatterers. :cool:
 
I think ong ye kung is waiting in the wings..he is a fuckein..cina equivalent of a shitskin. N he has announced his intention in the past. Ah chan might take over but in no way he can hold it. Than the ah ong will step in.
 
KNN my uncle always thought lhl has never intended to leetire so long he is still mobilised KNN whoever leelee keen better pray he jia perng earlier than them KNN
Yes your uncle is always the wise one .
A while back " Someone " son got into legal trouble ... than there was a "makan session" at the hawker center..with someone of importance (addicted to FB).
"agreement was made " that solution will be made that the son legal problem will disappear and in return , he should support the the "emperor" to continue so the "crown prince to be " lost the support .

Basically politics is a dirty game , all is "behind the scene " . Age as a reason is nonsense ... how old is the "emperor " already ?

Doubt it. There's an unwritten rule that only 'condemned personnel' become the Transport Minister. Once you're there, you should more or less start planning for your post-PAP career. :cool:

For Raymond Lim, Tuck Yew and Penang Khaw this was their last ministerial post! :eek:
 
I believe that a leader must be reasonably smart, very eloquent, the ability to motivate others, have charisma, not ugly but reasonably tall and good looking (this will rule out an individual who looks sly, withugly face and small asymmetrical eyes).
One of them may be very smart, but speaks with an unpleasant accent and irritating style.
One of them has an ugly face and unattractive eyes.
One of them may be younger and of Chinese descent, but the photos of him appear to make him look like a non Chinese. That in itself is nothing wrong, and a non Chinese PM may be desirable (more so when it apoears that they took steps to legislate a Reserved Presidential Elections.
As matters stand, it appears that the remaining one of the so called front runners, is very smart, speaks eloquently, is comoetent and could be a good effective leader.
 
How can this CECA protector be PM when his result was the worst in 2020 GE? (53% only)
Maybe now he should consider working in India permanently like how George Yeo did in US

DPM Heng Swee Keat steps aside as leader of 4G team, 'setback for succession planning'


SINGAPORE — Singapore Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Heng Swee Keat has informed the Ministers of his intentions to stand aside as leader of the 4G team, Singapore's fourth-generation leaders said on Thursday (8 April).

Heng Swee Keat wearing a suit and tie



Minister Gan Kim Yong as PAP Chairman chaired a meeting of all the Ministers, Senior Ministers of State and Ministers of State, as well as Speaker and the Secretary-General of the NTUC, less PM Lee Hsien Loong, DPM Heng and the two Senior Ministers and issued the following statement:

"1. We respect and accept DPM Heng Swee Keat’s decision to stand aside as the leader of the 4G team. We appreciate what a difficult decision it must have been. But no one could have foreseen the disruption of COVID-19, the great uncertainty it has created, and its long-lasting impact. We know that he has made the decision with Singapore’s long-term interests at heart.

2. Over the past two years since he was appointed as DPM, Mr Heng has played a critical role in leading key initiatives of the Government – championing the Singapore Together movement, guiding our national R&D and economic restructuring efforts, and delivering five budgets in twelve months to protect lives and livelihoods in the midst of a global pandemic. Believing in the collective strength of our people, he has engaged individuals, communities and groups widely, and enabled their active participation in improving our economy and society.

3. We are glad that DPM Heng will remain a member of our team, and will continue in his roles as DPM and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies. We have all benefitted from his experience and expertise, and we look forward to his continued advice and contributions as we navigate our recovery and chart Singapore’s path forward.

4. Tackling Singapore’s pressing immediate challenges and ensuring that Singapore emerges stronger from this crisis remains our foremost priority. Under these circumstances, the 4G team will need more time to select another leader from amongst us. We have therefore requested PM Lee Hsien Loong to stay on as Prime Minister until such time when a new successor is chosen by the team and is ready to take over. We are grateful that PM has agreed to our request.

5. This unexpected turn of events is a setback for our succession planning. We recognise that Singaporeans will be concerned. We seek your support and understanding, as we choose another leader for the team. We will continue working as a team to serve our people, and to earn the confidence and trust of all Singaporeans."
 
A potential PM the first to abandon ship speaks a lot about their selection
 
May be he should consider retiring from politics and take it easy with a few income producing appointments that does not require full time 5 days a week and ten twelve hours a day.
That will keep him occupied with challenges and not too much stress, to allow him to go to the gym for an hour every morning, have a nutritious breakfast, go to the office for one to two hours, chat with friends or colleagues during a 2 hour lunch, then work another 2 to 3 hours. Then go for a walk at a park or nature reserve, have a light dinner (or walk after dinner).
Have some sex with his wife 2 to 3 times a week.
Play a round of golf on Saturday and Sunday.
Go on a two week vacation every 2 months.
No point and not for his health, to continue as the DPM or Minister of Finance.
Do some volunteer work.
Stay healthy, enjoy and live life.
 
Why was the Secretary General of the NTUC part of the meeting of Ministers, chaired by Mr. Gan?
The Sec Gen is not an MP and not a Minister, not a Minister of State.
Unless they consider him to be a candidate to be their next leader.
 
He may be a dark horse, if they are unable to agree on selecting one of the four front runners.
