LKY Says TJS No Qualifications But Lord Butler Says TJS Makes Sense

[Porfirio Rubirosa]

harry tried to lamely hood wink the electorate by baldly asserting that Tan Jee Say has no qualifications to talk abt national economic policy...this coming fm harry who has no economic credentials to his name whatsoever but rode on the coat tails of the likes of dr goh, hon & winsemius...

PAP clearly running scared of TJS after Lord Butler endorsed TJS' economic policy proposals...first harry attacks then GCT shamelessly attacks more even to the extent of breaking his earlier public promise not to comment on other matters apart fm MP GRC...

"As the former Head of University College, Oxford University, where Tan Jee Say was a student, I am happy to commend his essay "Creating Jobs and Enterprise in a New Singapore Economy - Ideas for Change". I am not an expert on the Singapore Economy but I was Private Secretary to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Head of the British Civil Service in the 1980s and 1990s when the UK was making the painful transition from a predominantly manufacturing and mining economy to a knowledge-based one. Against that background, I find Jee Say's analysis and presription persuasive. It seems to me a thorough and well-argued piece of work and as such it deserves the attention of policy-makers"

Lord Butler of Brockwell, KG, GCB, CVO,PC, Cabinet Secretary and Head of British Civil Service

Kuan Yew, just shut up and die.
Lord Butler is bureaucrat and politician of a country with 2 trillion USD GDP. LKY is a mafia head running a place like a syndicate and declaring he is not running a country.

Tan Jee Say's National Regeneration Plan is definitely worth a read. I agree with his arguments. Manufacturing should be scaled down. No way we can compete with China. We should model our economy after Germany or Holland, focusing on knowledge related services.

But SDP A team's chances look bleak at the moment. I wonder if there's another avenue for the government to look seriously into Mr Tan's brilliant plan.......

Old man is fast going to find out that his bullshit is going to be recognised as such. Nobody gets appointed PPS to a PM and stays in the post for twice the tenure unless he is an exceptional individual and it is the rules that old man and his team set. If Tan Jee Say was found wanting, he would have been posted within months and he certainly would not be associated with calibre dept that is in MTI.
