Turning to the People's Association (PA) controversy, Mr Lee stressed that the PA is not a political organisation
He said: "The PA serves all the residents in the constituency, and it's non-political, in fact it doesn't allow political activities on its premises when it runs its own activities. But guidance must be from somebody who's working on behalf of the Government. It's like having the Ministry of Education, the civil servants are impartial and neutral but the Minister is a Government Minister."
This idiot is clearly trying to smoke young Singaporeans. How can the analogy even be made with his straight I-am-not-a-crook face! The PA was born out of the ashes of a political fallout, when a faction split from the PAP in the 60s and sacked all their branches. Thereafter, to prevent a reccurrence, the PA was formed to button up all their grass-roots activist organisations. The MOE is a Ministry staffed by civil servants, and has always been one since the British days.
All Ministries can be headed by a PAP Minister, but putting a PAP Minister at the head of an org will not automatically make it a Ministry! Singaporeans must be more discerning and critical, and not accept this kind of garbage. LOL!
