Former PAP MP Dr Michael Lim inviting a French Revolution in Singapore... :rolleyes:

What is your opinion of this? opulence? decadence?

A VISIT to Dr Michael Lim's home is much like visiting a chateau in France but without having to endure a 12-hour long flight. The European experience starts right at the compound gate, where a pair of larger than life centurion statues stand guard.

Like with most chateaus, this one, off Holland Road, comes with an immensely long driveway, before a two-storey mansion with elaborate columns, a steeply-pitched roof, and a water fountain right up front, comes into view.

"When you look at the house, you think you are somewhere in Europe rather than in Singapore," quips Dr Lim, medical director at the Singapore Heart, Stroke & Cancer Centre, who drew up the design of his home after visiting several French chateaus and the Palace of Versailles for inspiration. - See more at: http://business.asiaone.com/property/showcase/chateau-de-holland-rd#sthash.2Hmn4M4H.dpuf

Yes, I agree with you. It is ok for him to have such a house. But why does he "broadcast" it on Business Times?

To be fair, this chap made his $ from his medical practice. He wasn't an MP for long. Not sure if he was director here-and-there type though.

To be fair, it is alright to spend the money you've earned in any way you see fit. However, with this article, you're not making things any easier for your PAP masters in the current political climate. :wink:
