I thought BL became Perm Sec?
BL was probably a SAC with the SPF when brother [GoldenDragon] was a DSP.
BL was once the Director of ISD.
Not sure what rank, what appt., and where BL was, before he was promoted to Perm Sec?

Thanks bro.
I also browsed through your postings last time and noticed that you do take a keen interest in people, asking them about their interests, their ideas, etc. In fact I learned a fair bit from your old postings. In order to understand people as well as you do, you have to be interested in them as people first and foremost, and observe without judging. At least that's the little bit I've learned from your posts.
I doubt he knows who the hell you are
BL was 2nd PS before his appointment as PS MHA. That would be sometime in 2001-2002. Thereafter, PS PMO and MND (recently). When the SPF highflyers I mentioned were in service, BL was DAC or AC (mid-90s) in ISD. He overtook many - Khoo Boon Hui, Chua Chin Kiat, Goh Liang Kwang.
BL is well respected, he's heading the joint national security team--SID and ISD.
I repeat that I am not and have never been a reporter.
Seriously, he's not worth it.
He's not even bright enough to see that his disgusting online behaviour may have some terrible real life impact.
Jw5 sorry for any misunderstanding. It was not my intention to accuse you of anything, merely to say you are good at sizing people.
In fact my post 109 here has been grossly misunderstood as well. That Scroobal said it was very venomous. How is that post venomous to him? Up till now I cannot fathom.
If I am a very clueless and spastic person so be it. But until I can understand how my post 109 was venomous to Scroobal I really cannot accept the vitriol he dishes out at me. He wants to rake up what happen 5 years ago and thumb me down with it all over again.
Yes, well-liked too. Very easy going. Excellent IQ and EQ. Made it despite the fact that he is no president scholar or OMS. If armed with one of the scholarship, would have hit PS in his early 40s.
Nice, cooing and diplomatic post sounds lovey-dovey. You dug a hole with #109 and now claiming innocence. Anyway he is desperate so he will reach out . I bet you he still has no clue like Mdm Butterfly.
Maybe I should just leave political discussions to grown ups instead of trying to comment on issues and policies that are way beyond my grasp.
[/QUOTE]I think you are aware that party is not the power and does not follow the norms of any other party except the Vatican. I always wondered who would be the centre of power after old man steps down from active politics.
The recruitment of Tony Tan (also a known reluctant recruit) and the arrival of Teo Chee Hean later did lend credence to the old belief that the family is much bigger. And Tony again recalled back from England to stand for PE again reluctantly. Time to recall back the family rebel - Lee Han Shih?
You have been discredited in public and more or less a charlatan. I am but a persona. Found it comical that besides Tonychat and a few other morons he had to turn to you for guidance and support. I am sure the respect is mutual. I doubt he knows who the hell you are despite his legendary clone hunting skills and you buttering him about his ability to size people. Just look at the ragtag of followers - Tonychat, Jah, Lemans , the Brains Trust?
You started well with your first post today and then made the slip and now fell into a hole. Too late I suppose and I am sure lots of regret.

C'mon, stop being childish. Make peace.
I dont always agree with Scroobal, but i do it politely. It's called being tactful, not common trait nowadays. When I started, he yanked my chain but he has never treated me condescendingly, so I intend to keep it mutual. I respect Scroobal for what he brings to this forum, crap or no crap. We are having fun here, so why so serious?
I used to respect you too, but what you are doing now is off-putting and my respect for you has dropped a notch or two.
