Failed Succession Plans: 4G, AG, Presidential Election, Temasek, SPH Media…. Lee Hsien Loong, are you doing the right things? Do you really care about the future of Singapore?


Failed Succession Plans:

4G, AG, Presidential Election,

Temasek, SPH Media….


Lee Hsien Loong, are you doing the right things? Do you really care about the future of Singapore? 


Singaporeans, how many more blank cheques are you going to give to the PAP?




Under Lee Hsien Loong, we only see how Singapore is falling.  With or without intention, things are certainly not doing well in Singapore.  We need more money but the PAP has no way to find the needed money under Covid-19 crisis.


Confidence is going down too.  Lee Hsien Loong is not able to present workable succession plans in politics (4G, PE), economy (Temasek, GIC), laws (AG), and propaganda (SPH Media, social media, POFMA).


垂死挣扎 In Chinese, we call actions like these ‘to put up a last ditch (or death-bed) struggle.’



His latest move is to restructure the SPH Media. Making a former PAP chairman to head the SPH Media, is this one of his ‘dying kicks’?


In just a few more months, we will see another succession plan - the new appointment of Temasek CEO.  It failed once and will it fail again this time?


How many more praises does Lee Hsien Loong need? How many more blank cheques (ownself check ownself) are we willing to give to the PAP? 




We praise them, we give them high pay, we allow them to have monopoly in everything, but what do we have in return?


What kind of Singapore would it be if we allow the PAP to have many second chances? 


No, the PAP will never work harder for Singaporeans. They think they are intelligent and they deserve to enjoy the fruits of our past success.  


The only hope, for the SPH Media to have editorial independence, is the immediate former PAP chairman following the footstep of the former PAP chairman, Ong Teng Cheong - The independent and first popularly elected president in Singapore. 


It is time that ‘Mr Fix-it” Khaw Boon Wan shows his loyalty, integrity and independence to the country and acts in a Hara-kiri way!

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition. My original aim is to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education system”. The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential candidates. Another policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion. Act 1 Gangster’s demand Imagine a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting ...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By i...

Is Prism Project Another Central Planning of the PAP?

There are 3 scenarios under the Prism Project#1 of Institute of Public Policy.  However, it looks more like the central scenario planning of the People’s Action Party. From the instructional menu of Prism Project Primer #2, participants were guided to a situation in 2022 and they have to imagine, within the Primer framework, to come out with 3 possible scenarios in Jun-Aug 2012.  2022. What a coincidence! Not long ago, PM Lee declared that he would like to hold the prime minister post for another 10 years. The other coincidence is the similarity between the 3 scenarios and the candidates of PE2011. How competitive and sustainable are the 3 scenarios to the people of Singapore and to the PAP?   Will the scenarios produce competitive and sustainable Singapore, Singaporeans or the PAP?  Perhaps, as what the Chinese say: planning cannot always catch up with changes.   And planning sometimes turns out the wrong, bad and unexpected results, espec...
