A new star in the firmament

 We are graced by a new star in the firmament. He has been anointed to take over from PM Lee Hsien Loong when the latter steps down.

With the appellation of Lawrence Wong he zoomed into prominence overnight and mesmerised the common Singaporeans with his bombastic grandiloquence almost everyday to give them divine guidance to confront the future of malevolent geopolitics and to a celetial path of plenty and harmony for Singaporeans.He sounds like a Messiah of the twenty-first century.and would have the divine embodiment of one. At least  there is no logical condition of mind to disabuse this, And it is only fair that he should be honoured to show his prowess.

There is no doubt that he excelled among the 4-G leadership to emerge as the future prime minister. It's a great honour and whether this has gone to his head is imperceptible. But from his grandiloquence you cannot escape the feeling that he sometimes talked down to the people and treated them like children. It was quite capivating in the beginning but if repeated too tediously it may take the audience to be really ultra-receptive to continue to listen.

Externally Lawrence Wong seemed to be in a mettle.  He seemed to be able to tickle the sombre mindset of the inscrutable Chinese to respond in good grace to his obsequious flattery .Of course the path was made easy for him by PM Lee Hsien Loong because of his close relationship with the Chinese leaders.

The litmus test is when or whether PM Lee Hsien Loong will step down. It's like the twinkling of a star like the Chinese saying "seems yes, seems no" (若有若无).

This is not meant to be in any way a derogatory reflecion of your eminence. I am simply mesmerised by your effusive grandiloquence which prompted me to write this.

Wishing you a success in your prime ministership.
