indeed you are.

It's not really that imminent, though. But good point

Note that he hasn't seemed to resume his normal globetrotting routine, IIRC. Now he's confining himself to small scale domestic events, first the school tour and now this. A sign of his health?

I just wonder how he got made CDF in the first place, if he were indeed so horrible? Even if they had to choose a scholar, surely there were others.

Apologies, GMS had to educate me and everyone else about how it might be hard for someone to run both a ministry and an SIA division.

Yes, it's truly just a job that Singaporeans don't want - in the same category as cleaners and construction workers. Those Singaporeans who are smart and really want to do PhDs prefer to do it overseas, and most begin their academic careers there. I say let the foreigners have it. Our nation is...

Are there even 540 Singaporeans who would want to take these PhD places? Some people here are misguided.

Indeed I misread your post, my apologies. But really, if he were taking up ministerial post our brothel wouldn't be highlighting the fact that he got passed over for promotion.

When were the top scholarships never prestigious? They have always been, and it's not just a recent phenomenon. Unfortunately, if you want to attract the best and the brightest who can have their pick of jobs, you need to attract them with something. Money talks. Prestige talks too, at least for...

Another example of a failed scholar - SAF. Goes to prove not all scholars are effective. If not capable in the civil service, sure can't make it in the private sector. Knowing how shielded and protected this breed of scholars are, it is a big, big blow. PSC selection process failed. The...

looks like you can't tell the difference between SIA and the civil service. nvm, not surprising

Re: Khaw Boon Wan might want to step down, and HPB CEO is going to "join private sect ok, forget it, on second thought, perhaps i am thinking too much. a non-scholar and mere stat board CEO to become a full minister? may be a bit too much.

NEW MANAGEMENT AT HPB HPB CEO to step down THE chief executive (CEO) of the Health Promotion Board (HPB) will be stepping down from next year after five years at the helm. Lam Pin Woon will be stepping down to join the private sector. Taking over him as CEO on Jan 1 2011, will be Mr...

There's a good chance the two events could happen close to each other. If this were a more democratic country, I would expect a surge of sympathy to the party of the beloved late elder statesman, and a GE taking place soon after would basically be all about LKY. But in Singapore this could well...

This has been said many times before, but I'll say it again. For all the talk of LKY's strategic foresight, one strategic failure of his was to overstay his PM tenure in the Cabinet. With his constant handholding and influence over national matters in an official capacity, the new generation of...

thanks! but i guess, if i had relevant skills, our combined chances would have been higher still? should i try to apply for a random "relevant" job first, so that i can get employer-sponsored and get the additional points? nope, you probably don't know me...

Same when dealing with people in general.

lol. the tourist should have done a bit of homework. he could have unlocked it himself with a usb cable and an internet connection

Damn right.
