Sayonara to Marbok Tan, Wong Can't Sing and Lemon Lim... They have made serious mistakes to our housing, national security and transport... I think they are fired rather than retired as they didn't say they retire out of their own accord.

They are stilll PAP members

Lui Tuck Yew could be the next casualty come 2016.

The Transport ministry is traditionally one of the most difficult and unpopular to run.

Overall, I think that's one of the best news from PAP, even better than giving us money. No MBT, No WKS, No GCT, YEAH!! If only it happens earlier......

Lui Tuck Yew has been a failure in the RSN and government

This is well thought out... it is pretty obvious who is the main beneficiary in this whole exercise. The one whose popularity ratings was boosted after saying sorry, and keeping on the momentum and appearing to be "reforming" the PAP by retiring the unpopular ministers, his ratings will shoot all the way up the sky. Hail the arrival of the new king.

As for the electorate, i would say hold your celebration first. Let's watch.

Emeritus (
11px-Loudspeaker.svg.png
/ɨˈmɛrɨtəs/; plural emeriti; abbreviation emer.) is a post-positive adjective that is used to designate a retired professor, bishop, or other professional or as a title. The female equivalent emerita (/ɨˈmɛrɨtə/) is also sometimes used.


In many cases the term is conferred automatically upon all persons who retire at a given rank. This is the usual case for retired professors. In other cases it is used when a person of importance in a given profession retires and/or hands over the position, so that his former rank can still be used in his title. The word is used either as a postpositional adjective (e.g., "professor emeritus") or as a preposition adjective (e.g., "emeritus professor"). There is a third, somewhat less common usage, following the full title (e.g.,professor of medicine, emeritus.) In the United Kingdom, "Emeritus professor" is the more common form. The word is capitalized when it forms part of a title which is capitalized.


The word originated in the mid-18th century from Latin as the past participle of emereri meaning to "earn one's discharge by service." Emereri itself is a compound of the prefix e- (a variant of ex-) meaning "out of or from" and merēre meaning "earn." Emeritus does not necessarily indicate that the person is retired from all the duties of her/his previous positions; he or she may continue to exercise some of them.

There is only one certainty about the new cabinet - the average height will be taller.

Not too sure about that. There're two 6-footers gone too, GCT and LKY, to offset MBT and WKS, so average should be still about the same. :biggrin:

Many take 2 post meaning PAP lack of talent in the MPs.


"The new Education Minister will be newly-elected MP Mr Heng Swee Keat.

Newly elected Major-General Chan Chun Sing will be Acting Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports as well as Minister of State for Information, Communication and the Arts."

Besides these 2 new faces, the rest of the Ministers ( excluding the 3 retired Ministers ) are all playing musical chairs. I concur with your statement.

Note also that CCS is only Acting Minister and not Minister.

Why is the point of having Ministers of State if they are not capable of being promoted to be Full Ministers?

Without LTY in MICA... does that mean we can have some of the porn sites back??? But having LTY as 2nd Foreign Minister is quite embarrassing for us... Can we at least find someone better looking???

Now we may expect more floods??? Cos Vivian got no budget to burst, maybe he will end up bursting the pipes???

Same question... What does those Minister of State for the various Ministry do???

But the best has to be Emeritus Senior Minister.... Now I wonder what will they come up for MM...
