Agree with you. VB is past. He is jst bidding his time and I will not be surprised if he does not contest the next GE. LTY is trying hard but is he up to the job? LTY's attitude and intentions are good but he may lack aptitude and capability.
looks like VB, LSS and LTY are the best LHL have. But we can tell they are just not good enough. Blame it on LKY for his policy of wanting yes-men. Good and capable men are not yes-men. Yes-men are either not good nor capable.
LKY cant get good and capable people like Tommy Koh, JYM Pillai, Ho Kwon Ping, David Lim, Lim Chee Onn to be his yes-men.
So LKY could only get VB, LSS, LTY, TCH, LBH, WKS, MBT, RL to work for him...and what a shamble these yes-men made! Blame it on LKY and his policies.
If LKY's bad policies and legacy are allowed to continue, SG will Crumble!
