These are what one calls pearls of wisdom. We must thank SPH for allowing a senior correspondent who graduated from Cambridge with Physics for sharing this with us. Hopefully tomorrow they will share with us that to be good singer you need a good voice and that you need an oven to bake a cake, hopefully by a Harvard grad this time.

Was Mr Wee referring to his son as well?

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

Looks like a thinly veiled insult at Wee.

But nonetheless a very valid statement.

Remembered years ago that Mr Wee was reported to have said that in life good luck (english) is more important than 'goot lark' (hokkien for working hard)....

He is refering to LHL...

This one is an exception, don't you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTMMRrxx-Ug the credentials is impressive.

No need for that. We already have a President's scholar with a fetish for pink shirts (and perhaps pink underwear) telling us that Sinkie population must increase to 6.9 million if Sinkies wish to maintain Swish standard of living.

To: OP

I think Goh Keng Swee was referring to Pinky. If only we had heeded Goh Keng Swee's prophecy, we would not need to raise our expectations on Pinky.

Rumour has it that those old guards like GKS who opposed LKY's dynastic plans by inducting Pinky and installing him as heir were purged.
Those that remained loyal were kept on.....Raja, Lim KS etc.

Loyal? I think only those with sinkie mindsets were kept.

I'm pretty sure they made a choice to keep quiet.......they could have left like GKS.
Gecko had a file on GKS (something to do with mistress) as insurance.

Better to be born lucky is simply a more politically correct way of saying that it's better to be born rich.

 

[GoldenDragon]

If not born lucky or smart, never mind. Marry 'tactically' into the right family and you stand a chance to become DPM even though size of brain smaller than peesai.

Not only Wong cunt sing.....many men have their wives families to thank for their success....LKY himself is an example.

Like they say....
"It's not your fault if you don't have a rich father....
But it's definitely your fault if you dont have a rich father in law....

Very true indeed. Without reading the rest of the text, the start of the article is almost an insult to Mr Wee. I wonder where he gets his quote and if untrue, will Mr Wee press charges?

Is this Mr Wee the father of the mole faced girl

I heard that she was/is working for some company in the San Francisco. Why not come back & work in Spore? I'm sure she can make millions in Spore.

Different Wee... Wee Chow Yaw is the chairman of UOB/OUB, long time critic and rival if LKY. The father of the uncaring-mole-faced-elite Wee Shu Min is Wee Siew Kim, an MP for Ang Mo Kio.

GKS mistress was an open secret..was somewhere in Katong or East coast side..

Wee Cho Yaw is LKY's lackey.......why you call him a critic? Both men got one thing in common.........both got idiot sons they try and try to support to take the throne.

Open secret and actually the pappies coming out publicly to confirm it is 2 different things. Example Yeo Cheow Tong
