My sentiments exactly. But you have to realize the timing and sequence of events indicate his demotion as being primarily motivated by electorial reasons. In the end, he is the convenient fall guy for the PAP's transportation woes, a pawn sacrificed for a superior position on the board. Farewell Lui, you will be missed.

I doubt he was fired since it'll impossible to find someone to fill the post. Unless they're looking for someone from the WP to take it up.

Vivian did a worse job as the cabinet minister for community development. And all he got was a transfer to area cleaning.

Half neh viv's case is different. He screwed up the budget for yog, but that did not personally affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of voters. Small lee has personally demoted wks and marboro tan to ordinary mp status due to public pressure from homeland security and housing. I am certain Lui's dismissal was no different. He was likely to have taken the demotion personally and requested to retire from politics altogether.

Simple management consideration: when you fire someone you need another to fill the post. Bearing in mind Fuck Yew was only there for one term... WhIch fool in the stable do you think can/is willing to step into that role? By firing Fuck Yew he has created a bigger problem for himself.

No problem too big when you can afford to pay for another one-term minister using other people's money.

He was hung out to dry.
The tonality of LTY's letters did not contain any warmth about this colleagues.

I only know of 3 reasons for an incumbent politician to quit before an election.
1. Health issues
2. Certain failure at the election
3. Forced out

Point 6 in the letter is very telling. They try to make it as obvious as possible but that is a sure sign of a lie. Very likely that the opposite is true. LHL must have told him he would not be in the Cabinet even if re-elected.

if he didn't, wanker lui would've become more of a liability, so best to send him packing and along with him, a few more familiar faces in lta and smrt - as they were equally ineffective.

LTY 's stepping down from the Transport Minister 's post will definitely set tongues wagging. Rumors and speculation will spread like wild fire. And it did. PM Lee has to do the right thing to set the record straight by publishing the truth about LTY 's resignation. There is no need to make apology when there is none. But, you can see that PM Lee is filled with mixed feelings when he accepted LTY's resignation letter.

If he were LKY, I doubt he will need to appease the tongue-waggers and gossip-mongers.


Different person different stroke.
