Latest : Stoke Heng relinquishing PM post

And boys and girls, this is why you need to have constitutional term limits. Once the proper system is set up, it will self-regulate. No need to get into a panic over sudden 'succession problems' or the ailing health of a leader. :cool:

Enough of the 'divine mandate of heaven = rule for as long as I please' nonsense. They call it 'stability' or 'continuity', I call it a country committing slow suicide via political atrophy. :rolleyes:
Nonsense. Without that stability and continuity, China would never has risen to superpower status. And Singapore would still remain a fishing village. You’d probably be feeding pigs in Lim Chu Kang farms.
 
Heng Swee Keat’s reason for relinquishing the leadership of the so called 4G Team must be the lamest any politician can possibly come up with.

Maybe that's just the PR speak soundbite for the media to cling onto.

The truth might be something else. Maybe he's unhappy. :wink:

Refer to prominent people quitting and saying they're doing that to 'spend more time with their family'. :roflmao:

PAP should have used the explanation very commonly used by football clubs and their departing managers:

"We have decided to part by mutual consent." :rolleyes::eek::biggrin:

U think United States with its 2 term limit is doing well?
 
Everyone in Singapore is now speculating on the true secret reason why Heng Swee Keat is stepping aside as future PM. Some speculate LHL wants to remain PM longer, or HSK has serious health problems, or that CCS or LW or someone else is being propelled to be PM, etc.

Observe HSK and LHL in the press conference video. HSK looks much happier & healthier than LHL in announcing his stepping aside. Whatever the true reason is, it likely originated from HSK himself, against LHL's wishes.


This part for sure. What my personal speculation is that when made privy to the hard numbers singapore is up against, he decided it's gonna be a lost cause and he bailed. Doesn't want to be appointed a captain of a sinking ship.
 
Devil in the details. Heng said age is the issue. Lee also said Heng discussed with him after the budget debate.
Imagine he ask Lee “when you gonna pass the seat to me ?” To which he replied “before next erection but I expect you to pass to Chan or someone else before the election after.” Which means potentially Heng will only serve one max two terms.
He is literally a seat Warner and shit cleaner. Heng decide to fold. Like chip Goodyear.

He "gave up" because his "biggest supporter & former ..." , made an agreement/trade off with one who is "addicted to FB over makan at hawker center, thus "shifted" to support the she-he to continue to lead using Covid as a cover .
 
HSK just woke up his Idea.. He know his position n direction now.
