Lawrence Wong fielding over 30 new faces. So which current ones getting fired?

This is not Presidential system like USA. In USA, the President is elected directly by the citizens. In Singapore, the PM is an elected MP, not PM. He is PM because of his popularity in the party to which he belongs. It means the power struggle in the party is important. As a new PM, he needs the support of his party members. It's the party members who put him in power, not the citizens. The citizens put the party in power. If more party members support Black Mamba, Black Mamba can also become the PM.

It's not dissimilar to 洪興 appointing 話事人.

I was leefering to his seat in yew tee Marsiling town Council lah.
If he stand on his own feet as a PM, he will secure the Mp seats.
Now he put himself into the danger of kana voted out as a Mp and endup losing his pm seat too.
Unless he is 100% sure he will win in the erection. What happens if there is a freak erection there?

I also believe that he became a PM not becos of his popularity in the party.
It should be LHL appointed him to be the pm. Noone can object to this. Their head will roll.

no firing lah. just musical chairs. not bad as a town mayor making $690k or ministar without portfolio making at least a million. or ambassador in a laid back cuntry like albania or portugal making millions and living on taxpayers’ money for everything from housing to cars to lavish parties to fancy meals plus regional travel.

So it's like the CCP Tiong Politburo system. Now you know why they address one another as comrades during their annual PAP convention.

The most powerful individual right now is actually black mamba. Think about it. He's from the lKY/Goh era, one of the last exsting few. In other places candidates like him are the most dangerous cos they wield great influence and can stage a coup.

So LW should have more reasons to remove the threats by letting him step down, in fact, he is doing more harm than good, in view of Ridout Road and PORMA?
