Lim Hng Kiang - How blur Singaporeans can be?

LHK took the role in Finance and MAS long after Nassim Jade affair had blown over. The complaint was lodged by influential shareholders of HPL to the then Finance Minister, Richard Hu and SES who did not move fast enough. It was Koh Beng Seng from MAS that referred the matter to GCT who launched a parliamentary inquiry.
Yes, it was KBS. Any idea where he is today? Poor chap. Career destroyed.

The escalation of HDB prices occured during the time when LHK was the MND minister. Many people later put the blame of high HDB flats on MBT but think the foundation of the so called asset enhancement initiative (as developed by the spin doctors) was laid by LHK in the late 1990s ...

You are right about that.

The problem is deeper and wider than one minister who has outlived his usefulness, assuming he ever was useful. It really goes down to how the PAP, and by default Singapore, chooses leaders. There is an entire supply chain for selecting, training, deploying and superannuating leaders. This is supposed to serve the nation but it is now serving itself. How does one change that ?

Overthrow them all. Only way to change it. they have subverted the whole process for their own benefit.

Lim Hng Khiang was a high-flying SAF scholar whose good luck was to be army buddies with Lee Hsien Loong. Of course LHL roped him into politics and he became Minister of National Development in 1995.

LHK was Second Minister of Finance, the Deputy Chairman of MAS and a board member of GIC. He was earmarked by LHL to take over the second most important minister post after the Prime Minister position: the Minister of Finance.

However LHK's luck turned. In 1996 the Lee family members bought Nassim Jade condos as a discount. The developer Hotel Properties did not sought and obtain the required shareholders' approval for a listed company before selling the units to "related parties". Someone complained to Ministry of National Development.

LHK could not act so he referred the matter to the Monetary Authority of Singapore which oversees the Stock Exchange of Singapore which oversees listed companies. The SES had to investigate and it potentially became a big political scandal and embarrassment.

The old man hauled up LHK and essentially told LHK that "you are a very brave man to pursue this matter."

That was the end of LHK's political career.

LHK was shunted to a lesser position Minister of Health. Again bad luck struck, in the form of SARS. He is not a doctor and his arrogant way of managing the medical professionals during the SARS crisis pissed off the medical fraternity and also exposed his inexperience and lack of knowledge of the health care industry.

Normally, someone with his experience (MAS, GIC, Finance, National Development, Health) would be highly sought after in the private sector. Even if he does not know his stuff, he still has connections. But the private sector was wary of hiring him because of a few factors: his poor people-management and him falling foul of the famiLee, so his ability to open doors are now questionable.

Since he cannot find a job in the private sector, and since LHL brought him into politics, LHL had a responsibility to look after him. So LHL gave LHK an iron-rice bowl cho-boh-land job in the Prime Minister's Office.

He would have remained there in the PMO's office if not for a stroke of good luck. George Yeo lost the elections and his minister's job. LHK was given the Minister of Trade and Industry because, despite his shortcomings, he was still one of the more qualified persons in LHL's talent-short cabinet.

So the story of LHK is one of good luck and bad luck.

To this day, there is still no investigation by CPIB on the Nassim Jade sale to members of the Familee, including Con You and Gay Loong. Both the Lees received discounts from the developer that was not available to anyone else. If this is not a clear cut case for investigation by CPIB, than I don't know what is. They went an arrowed MAS to do the investigation. MAS should have referred the case to CPIB. PAP still dare to say got no corruption in Singapore. hahahaha

Already said before, if that one day comes when PAP gets less than 50% of votes, then tanks and apache helicopters all come out liao.

Nepotism has been going on everywhere.
Sillypore which old fart claimed to be "white and clean" is not exceptional.
For so many years such practice has been sweeping more dusts under the carpet and hiding more skeletons in the closet.
Until one day when the ruling party gets less than 50% of the votes, only then we will know exactly what's going on with tax payers $$$.

LHK is one of the few ex saf scholars in cabinet who could not even get his paper general star.
This is big fail and speaks volume of his 'abilities'.
Only Zorro shit say did worse than LHK....RODed as major (LHK was LTC rank)

LHK was not "well known" as a capable or "accelerated SAFOS promotion" officer.
I was unaware that Zorro was only a Major.
I know of one SAFOS who intentionally not perform well, to ROD as a CPT, to minimize the opportunity cost, and avoid the GLC.

Tanks to guard over the causeway.
Apache to guard the airspace.
Frigates to guard the sea.
MIWs can no longer easily run away.

Well, the Thais know who the real talent are in S'pore.
If LKY or his son, LHL, can solve the political impasse that is happening between the Red Shirts and the Yellow Shirts in Thailand, I will swear allegiance to LKY and LHL and be their slave forever, in this life and the next. If LKY or his son, LHL, can solve the Rohingya and Kachin problems in Myanmar/Burma, I and my whole family swear to become slaves of LKY and LHL forever, in this life and the next, and the next, and the next.... On the other hand, if both of them can't solve the above problems, then please tell them to shut up and fcuk off.

If LHK chose not to cover up the Nassim Jade matter my respect for him goes up.
Anyway to be fair, we have no idea what he does. He could be someone quietly doing his job and not wanting the limelight.

I dont think Sinkies are blur. After all his warts have been exposed since he first fucked up. It's just that in between general elections, Sinkies are impotent. Then we wait for GEs to tarok people like him if LHL doesnt drop them. If there arent enough Opp strength to contest in the GRC he stands in, we again will have a lame duck, and Sinkies kena lagi fucked. we are just waiting.
