c'mon losers. show some respect to your esteemed pm. the fact that he's still pm and his party runs the gov proves that you oppos have a long way to go.
He does take credit for his unique leadership. He will never raise his head above the parapet. He waits for the dust, the noise and the debris to settle then he comes out with measured words of wisdom. Remember the calls from everyone when there was radio silence during the Mas Selamat epsiode. And he is an Army General.
Reminds me of the Australian Army chief who abandoned his men and post in Simgapore and fled by boat to OZ claiming that he can be more effective from OZ. He was the only army chief that was not interned in Changi by the Japanese.
His father would in the first place would not have allowed Mr Mas Selamet to escape and if he did everyone would have have to pay the price.
His grand debut preceded even this. Remember the Sentosa Cable car incident where the freighter Vladisvostock got its mast entangled with the cable suspension wires? He was then a Colonel. For a solid day, the cable cars with its passenegers hung precariously over the Keppel waters and no Army generals dared to come fwd. Eventually, a rescue was attempted and even then by a foreign team. When everything is back on solid land, then only our hero Col LHL stepped out and walked off into the sunset, bathed in glory.

The 154th and mediacorpse continue to attribute the rescue to the RSAF. The inquiry into the mishap was a joke.
LHL will be around for another 4-8 years. They are now looking for the biggest por lum par to warm the seat for the next 2 possibly 3 elections until the emperor's grandson lands miraculously onto the seat.
hahaha.....i stand corrected but i think this is another bullshit.......When Hotel New World collapsed and the second son (lee hsien yang) in the army was given a role in the rescue, you realise that it is stage managed. Got a medal for it. Sadly these guys build a profile on other people's misery.

can some wise forummer pse verify/confirm.
join forces with Syria's Assad.
That, I will not disagree.
Sgns are really dogs. You can whack, belittle and scold a dog, and it will still be wagging his tail happily following you wherever you lead it.
Cheers!

the very same people who propelled him to the throne are the very same
people who can get the ladder for him to skydive down very quickly.

Hero my foot. The real hero was NOT a Sinkie but an Aussie pilot who properly became a Commodore (BG equivalent) unlike this fake General.
Knowing how the civil service operates, you can bet your last dollar LHL had a tua pek kong on 24/7 standby in case the rescue ops failed.
LHL is stressed. LHL cant handle PM's job.
Is it better for him to quit? Would quitting be disastrous for his ego!
So what is the best way out for LHL without making him look like a failure?
5 smrt staff and tunneling experts were honored in an official dinner hosted by yeo ning hong: 3 irish, 1 brit, 1 sinkie. the saf officer who was best remembered and honored during the rescue operation was ltc lim meng kin, chief medical officer then. saf only provided equipment and vehicles plus the medical teams under ltc lim. the scdf provided most of the manpower. the ft's (smrt tunnelers) provided the leadership and out of box thinking in the whole rescue. the sinkie smrt staff, tan jin thong, was the token sinkie in the smrt team. relying on the gringos was not staged. in such a situation, any expert help would do. lucky to have smrt tunnelers around then. no time and plan to stage for any lee. that's conspiracy theory.
