Deployment of Ministers: What A Wise Prime Minister Like Lee Kuan Yew Would Do If He Arises From The Dead
Our
first Prime Minister, Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, during his tenure as the PM,
did not even allow one particular person to hold any important
appointment. Let alone a ministerial position. That person was put in a
back-bencher, ordinary MP position for at least ten years. From 1988 to
2005?
Yet today, one person has been trusted so much until he has
been allowed to hold two very important, sensitive and powerful
ministerial positions concurrently! Not only that, he has also been
allowed to hold the two positions for such a long period of time
continuously, while other ministers have all been reshuffled and
rotated, some even moved three or four times.
Unbelievable! Shocking! Even sickening! Someone is very sick?
It
just doesn't make any sense. Something is definitely not right. What is
it? Someome has been unduly influenced into submission, under duress?
For
the purpose of national security and national interests, the two
important, sensitive and powerful positions should never be held by one
person. Period.
From common sense, having one person controlling
the Attorney General's Chambers, the Judiciary and the Overall Legal
System, combined with the Police Force, the police intelligence unit,
CID, internal security, customs and immigration is too risky and
dangerous because that one person will become too powerful. When the two
ministries are combined into one hand, that hand becomes an
indestructible iron hand. And the person who owns that iron hand becomes
the indestructible Iron Man.
A wise Prime Minister would never allowed such a thing to happen.
A
wise Prime Minister would immediately suspect something is amiss if one
of his ministers even uttered, suggested or wished to be given any of
the two powerful ministries. Let alone both of them.
A wise Prime
Minister would rather have two separate persons, unconnected by
relations or business, to head the two powerful ministries separately,
for the simple reason that he can draw upon two persons for advice
instead of only one, in times of need. Thereby giving him the
availability and option of a second opinion, instead of one that might
be faulty, inappropriate or even sinister. Therefore, detrimental to his
Premiership, National Security or the Citizens' interests.
If it
has already happened, the wise Prime Minister does not need to think
hard and long in order to remedy the situation and put it back into
proper perspective, in his personal interests and in the interests of
the people, the country and the Nation!
So, think wisely and act prudently.

The critical question is:
ReplyDeleteIs there any wise Prime Minister left in Singapore?
Most probably not going to have another wise PM like LKY. Why ? Even hv, he or she will be undermined. Look at the people wish for Mr Tharman to b the next PM but being shoot down by a Heng Ah saying Sinkies not ready for a Indian PM, racist? undermined? Or no more wisdom? So... until the next wise PM come, probably got to pray pray for LKY to rise from grave or be reincarnated ? God or Allah or Buddha please please this Sickgapore (aka Cecapore).
ReplyDeleteTharman to b the next PM - be careful what u wish for
ReplyDeleteAlready 'shoot down' by Ah Heng lah...there is no way Tharman can be next PM.
DeleteIt's ok lah. Sooner or later, Indian President, Indian PM, Indian Home and Law Minister, Indian Foreign Minister, Indian Finance Minister, Indian Defence Minister....
ReplyDeleteBetter get use to it now.
Sori Indian can never be Defense Minister in Sinkieland jus look at what happen in Myanmar military coup to ursup the democratic party people.
DeleteTransport neh ?
ReplyDeleteThe whole cabinet can be Indians except for Environment, Family and Community Affairs.
ReplyDeleteSori, Ah Heng no count. Out of running oredy. Raise white flag liao.
ReplyDeleteIf PM is Indian, not only Defence Minister would be Indian, the whole cabinet could be Indians.
If that dey comes, probably there might be another riot.
DeleteIf PM is Indian, the whole country will be filled with Indians - white Indians, black Indians, red Indians, purple Indians, brown Indians, Yellow Indians and Indiana Jones.
ReplyDeleteAll the Chinese, Malays and Others will be kicked out.
If that happens, less and lesser people in the world will be trading with them. Maybe they will know wat type of people r they.
DeleteHowever, it’s interesting to note that, as admitted by Minister Tan, the proportion of Indian professionals grew from 14 percent in 2005 to 25 percent last year among all EP holders in Singapore.
ReplyDeleteThat is to say, among the nearly 200 countries on Earth today, 25 percent of all foreign EP professionals working in Singapore came from 1 single country alone – India. And this explosion in growth of Indian professionals working here occurred right after CECA was signed in 2005.
And if we were to put the figures in actual numbers, the growth is not double (100%) as in 14 percent to 25 percent as what ST had earlier reported, but in fact, 486 percent from 9,100 to 44,250.
Why just use EP numbers. What about other categories of work passes?
Ya, very risky to allow one millionaire mintster to hold two important portfolios, and worst still for a very loong, loong, loong time now! With due to respect to him, touch wood, what happen if he suddenly kaput ? In football language, they say: "Anything can happen in a match because the ball is round"
ReplyDeletePerhaps, the white emperor never trust other mintsters despite Party Against People has 83 MIWs in ParLeemen. So-called "talented" ? So, did the white emperor has any Plan B ? If yes, y keep it a top secret ? He must be transparent and let the citizens know it now. To keep silence is dangerous.
Anyone who brings into his country foreigners, to displace and replace his citizens and fellow country men and women, cannot be a wise Prime Minister.
ReplyDeleteHe can either be a money-minded Minister or a Stupid Minister.
Come to think of it, he is not even fit to be a Minister.
He is not even fit to be a leader.
He is not even fit to be a fellow country man.
With hindsight, he is only fit to be a traitor of his own country and his own country men and women.
He should be sacked and sent to the foreigners' country that he has loved so much.
That is only my humble opinion, speaking from my heart of hearts and mind of minds in the interests of our country and for the interests of our our people.
In ancient China, a traitor when discovered, was usually beheaded in front of the public and his relatives arrested, and his wealth of nine generations confiscated.
DeleteThe frightening part is that he or they think they are very smart and would not admit the harm it has done to the citizens.
ReplyDeleteUnlike honest and sincere gentlemen, villains usually do not admit their mistakes.
ReplyDeleteWhen the mistakes are so huge and glaring, and everyone can see them, but the one who made them has repeatedly refused to admit the mistakes and take full responsibility, you know you have a monstrous villain in your country.
Villains not only never admit mistakes, they glorify their mistakes by cunningly twisting around the mistakes as personal achievements and take credits for them, while blaming some unfortunate guys for the mistakes.
DeleteThe recent CECA debate was a classic example of how villains turned around their blunders as great achievements and claimed personal credits, while blaming the Opposition as racist.
DeleteThis morning at about 11 am, a Secondary 4 student has been arrested and will be charged with murder over the death of a fellow student at River Valley High School, the police said on Monday (Jul 19).
ReplyDeleteThe 16 years old student was found with an axe. He is alleged to have murdered a 13 years old secondary one boy, for reasons unknown.
River Valley High and the police has briefed their students not to reveal any details of the incident to the public while a full investigation is going on. This is tragic, said Cotton Chan in his Facebook post at about 4pm.
Could it be the result of vaccinations ? Become aggressive due to vaccination ?
DeleteIf just 10% of the 25 million jobless were to tsunami into Singapore, we will be flooded with another 2.5 million Indians to rob our jobs, increase our rentals, increase our housing prices, increase the ills of our society, competing for space in MRT and buses, competing for use of our public amenities and sports facilities, crowding our hospitals, polyclinics, clinics, schools, etc.
ReplyDeleteOur infrastructure will collapse.
Our healthcare system will collapse.
Our racial harmony will collapse.
Our country will collapse!
Incident happened at about 11:41 am
ReplyDeleteCNA reporters could only reach to crime scene after about 3 and a half hours. They must have walked all the way to the crime scene from their office at the Media Centre in Ayer Rajah?
"When CNA arrived at the scene at about 3.20pm, students were leaving the school campus via various exits, with teachers stationed at each one."
No wonder, so many readers are taking umbrage!
Our infrastructure will collapse.
ReplyDeleteOur healthcare system will collapse.
Our racial harmony will collapse.
Our country will collapse!

Everything can collapse but million dollar salary would not collapse. Can increase some more for the good work of bringing in more talented foreigners to replace untalented sinkies.
It's a matter of just changing the term "untalented" to "talented" and vice versa. And apply the term to any particular group of people whom you want to praise or demonize. This is how cunning crooked brains work all the time without fail.
ReplyDeleteSimilarly, it is just by changing the term "Pandemic" to "Endemic" and, hey presto, immediately you can live with the coronavirus! There is no shortage of wonders what a cunning and crooked brain can manifest.
You should read the book, "Straight and Crooked Thinking", an A-level text book which many years ago that students of old had to learn by heart.
This staunch Anti-China and Anti-Chinese Racist snake from the biggest Snake Pit in the world has always creeps and slither into RB's blog when RB is sleeping.
