So, you think the PAP are morons??? Think again.. Please everybody; cool down.. Saw this recent article somewhere: Heard this from a reliable source amongst the highest echelons of the PAP. The PAP was well aware that Aljunied is a risky pr...oposition for them. This was clear even in 2006 and G —-just scraped through.

The PAP also knew that this time LTK is going to contest the Aljunied GRC, especially after the electoral boundaries were redrawn. They had factored that in and they knew that Aljunied is a goner in that case. There was apparently considerable thinking to move G—-to East Coast GRC so that his success is guaranteed. This was mooted by GCT It carried through the day and apparently G—-was also sure that he would be moved to East Coast. Suddenly for no apparent reason, Lim Swee Say was moved to East Coast GRC and G—-was retained at Aljunied. Apparently the decision was taken by LHL, TCH and WKS. No one knows the rationale for that decision.

There are 2 theories going around: One, they didn’t want to sacrifice Lim Swee Say and wanted a safe seat for him. Second, some sections in the PAP believed that G—-was gaining international stature (much more than the PM himself) and wanted to cut down his size. He was also considered to be GCT’s man and LHL wanted him out respectably. One should also note that it is only GCT who is making statements supporting G—-.

LHL is conspicuous by his silence on GCT. LKY’s threat to Aljunied residents (leaving residents confused as per G—-, while causing more Aljunied residents to be frustrated & vote for Workers’ Party) is actually sounding the death knell for G—-(and do S’poreans still think that LKY is old & senile?). So, PAP wants G—-to lose. LTK has questioned the rally attendees that if G—-is so important to the PAP team, why doesn’t G—-be removed from Aljunied GRC.

If this has even some truth to it, one can easily speculate that there’s enough dissent even within PAP ranks and one just has to wait for Mentor Lee to exit for the dissent to come out in the open. They have given up on Aljunied and Hougang. What’s next for G—-? Could he stand for the coming President election? Or hop on in another high profile job in the civil service? You draw your own conclusion.

So, you think the PAP are morons??? Think again..

PAP is using Tin Pei Ling as test-water (as a young candidate). In GE2016, the most exciting moment is the arrival of Li ShengWu (elder son of Lee Hsien Yang), LKY grandson and he should be 28 years old by then to continue the process of dynasty building…

Other possible candidates in 2016:

1. Li HonYi (elder son of LHL/Ho Ching) Li was apparently being groomed for a future leadership role after being awarded a government scholarship to study economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (in 2008). The Singapore military has served as a training ground for political leaders and executives in state companies.

2. Teo Eng Siang (son of Teo Chee Hean) Singapore pays S$280,825 for tuition for Teo’s son –Teo Eng Siang was awarded a Public Service Commission Scholarship in a public ceremony by his own daddy, Singapore Admiral and Minister Teo Chee Hean. Young Teo now(2008) heads for the United States where he will be attending Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Brown University is a fashionable Ivy Leage school and has a huge annual tuition of US$42,303, or US$169,202 (S$280,825) for the full four years. Don’t you think there are needier students in Singapore?

3.Warren Mah, son of Mah Bow Tan, Singapore’s Minister for National Development, is living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is on a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

This is Politics (Singapore Politics i should think), it’s not as simple as we ordinary folks out there to comprehend precisely. The PAP do have contingency and far-sight plans ahead. .

You know Politics???
