A roving view of Singapore politics

I have resigned to being laid-back, unobtusive and tranquillity in mind.

I think I have done enough to bait the vaunted PM Lee Hsien Loong the only regret being his stubborn refusal to give me a public apology for his father's sin against me. This may be a divine proclivity. 

However, Lee Hsien Long showed uncanny foresight in picking Lawrence Wong as his successor Lawrence Wong excelled among the 4-G leadership  and his emergence as the prospective prime minister is what divinity may have foreboded. He has shown eloquence and oratorical skills equal if not  surpassing Lee Hsien Loong .I was quite sceptical  but nevertheless impressed by his effusive gandiloquence to solidify and unite the people and gave him a deserving adulation on my website.The only sticking point may be his PM-in-waiting may be an eternity.

President Halimah Yacob's tenure will terminate in September and is quite vainglorious in thinking of standing for re-election. She has her aficionados who obsequiosly flattered her to such a dizzying height that she cold have succumbed to her egotism of invincibiliity. But what must have haunted her is the plethora of detractions of her performance of her presidency as six years of wastage. This must have greatly rattled her as it pointedly dawned on her  of the consequences of a defeat. She has to face the ugly fact and not to take the perilous risk. So she is happy and thank Allah by renouncing her dream of standing for re-election.

The uproar over the tenancy of two magnificent  Rideout Road government bungalows by two PAP ministers to me may be said to be a storm in a teacup.That this could provoke a masssive grotesque caricature of improbity by the two ministers shows how easy it is to rouse the people's feelings.The two ministers may be faulted for wanting to flaunt their affluence and grandeur vanity with an abject lack of humility but this is for the electorate to decide in the next poll. It is premature to denigrate the role of Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean who is appointed to investigate any irregularity. We should wait for the results.

Workers' Party shows incomprehensible haste in the expulsion of a senior cadre Daniel Goh for some opague reason.when there is obviously a dearth of talents in the party. It appears to be linked to the misconduct of Raseeah Khan and the party secretary-general Pritam Singh has been shown to handle he issue very badly. Daniel Goh had apparently incurred the wrath of Pritam Singh in his persistent questioning of Pritam Singh's competency

Lim Tean is in the news again in forming a People's \alliance of four opposition parties to contest the next general election. He has as his team mate the formidable Kenneth Jayaretnam. What is significant is the absence of Workers's Party and Progress Singapore Party in the Alliance.in order to make up a united front. So is Lim Tean's People's Alliance going to compete with PAP or the WP and PSP?
