Mah Bow Tan Retiring From Politics After Decades of Meritorious Service!

JohnTan · Aug 7, 2015

Former Minister for National Development Mah Bow Tan confirmed that he will be stepping down and will not be running in the coming general election.

MP Mah announced this during a national day dinner for Tampines GRC. Mah was Minister for MND up till 2011. As housing shortages became a major bugbear for the ruling party during GE2011, Mah was stripped of his Ministerial position and replaced by current MND Minister Khaw Boon Wan.

Really??

It's thanks to Mah Bow Tan that I managed to buy HDB apartment cheap, and watch its price go up up up over the next decade. He made me a rich man! I am sorry to see MP Mah retire so soon.

He screwed up Singapore big time.
He and his fcuking "affordable" housing.
Everything is "affordable" if installments are spread over 80 years.
The scars of his (and the cabinet who agreed to let him run wild) incompetence will last a long time.

He was mabuk when he made half the policies.
Apparently, he woke up from his drunken stupor and decided to step down. Like getting up next to a ugly bitch and not knowing what happened the previous night.

Thank you Marlboro Tan, your name will not be easily forgotten. :wink:

Thanks for the posts.

Am I correct to summarize the 3 posted paragraphs into one sentence, "..hire Marlborough to simply open the right connections".

So, in Malaysia,..people label politicians as "corrupt"

Singapore seems to have more sophisticated methods to enable Politicians to make lotss $$$, and champion them "talents" as "champions" ?

I guess it is the same in every country, yes ?

I guess a lack of transparency and unchecked power breeds corruption and incompetence, but none are as bad as those who are insanely overpaid to the extent that they think themselves as infallible demigods, closely intertwined with the country's destiny. The self-righteous snobbery is already bad enough. :rolleyes:

spotter542 · Aug 7, 2015

My fellow hailam , Captain Goh , got no chance to one-on-one with Marlboro in the next G.E. :p

glockman · Aug 7, 2015

And it is still happening to this day, incompetent fools becoming ministers and MPs. Their only credential : unquestioning loyalty to the pap. So they come, they fuck things up, they make loads of money, they step down and live happily ever after. The country and sinkies are then left holding the baby.

Sorry. Beg to differ. He made a killing himself. Invested in a string of properties whilst in office putting the market in overdrive with pro developer policies.

Deleted member 80916 · Aug 8, 2015

Yes,..so it was heard in quiet chatter,..that the Man profitted Greatly from his crafted official policies.

More important,...does anyone dare to investigate, and do some forensics ?

Does CPIB, even dare to investigate ?
