Good insight.

But must be careful not to get over zealous with lucidity if not it may turn into lunancy(all an act though) as seen in Ngiam Tong Dow's case!

There are times when personas like Calvin Cheng, Kishore, Janadas, etc, suddenly say something displaying lucidity of thought and independence of mind. It is as if for one brief moment, the "whip" on them is lifted and someone high up decided an honest take on the issue was in order.

Perhaps.....but I found it curious to see Zainul being put in charge of the recent state funeral arrangements viz Othman Wok.


Zainul Abideen has been too much out of the limelight to be considered at this late stage. No build up, which is the PAP way. Besides he is also Indian Muslim like all the potential candidates so far, generally perceived as a loser by the public after Aljunied and just disappeared to the ME!. Too light weight. Most people dont know or remember him. If the PAP, against all odds, decides to field him, than it will be an even more of a ludicrous spectacle than it is already now.

"If the Lees are not firmly in charge everyone who rose high on their coat tails, instead of sheer ability , can fall very far." i believe this applies to a very sizeable part of the present establishment who are just gonna shift loyalties. There is not going to be a "de-Ba'athification" process. Its all about the money. The Chinese and Indians in the establishment are all very practical people with very little principles to speak of.

Yes, they can survive if capable. Is Halimah really capable to be president ?

Halimah Yacob: Indian Father, Malay Mother.

Mohamed Salleh Marican: Indian Father, Malay Mother.

Farid Khan Kaim Khan: Pakistani (also India, before WW2 no Pakiatan)

All 3 Indians are going to contest in the Elected Presidency.

Consider? Means she is indecisive. A high calibre person cannot and should not be indecisive. How is she going to handle her potential job with this mentality?

You have a point bro. Maybe they might have to build him again up but time is running out.

Zainul Abideen has been too much out of the limelight to be considered at this late stage. No build up, which is the PAP way.

The only quality she has is toeing the line. Very lacklustre character. Her tudung, though trivial, is not something that many would want in our President. Nobody gives a fuck about speaker of Parliament despite its salary and place in the protocol list. You could have Uber driver Sherwin Eu and nobody will blink an eye except maybe the MPs. If my favourite favourite kway teow hawker falls sick I would worry and so would his customers but not the speaker. I still think the PAP cannot be this silly.


I am wondering too. Halimah may not want controversy to dog the rest of her life. If the Lees are not firmly in charge everyone who rose high on their coat tails, instead of sheer ability , can fall very far. Presidency may not be the sinecure it once was especially if public mood changes.

Looks like Gilbert Goh did not manage to collect enough donation during last Saturday's Oxley protest at Hong Lim for his holidays back to Australia.

I am ok with Ramli Sarip, Zul Sutan and Fandi who all gave immense pleasure during their reign.

RETIRED ST JOURNALIST: RESERVED ELECTION A PAP BLUNDER, BIGGEST SETBACK TO MULTICULTURALISM

Tue, 18/07/2017 - 4:00pm
<Facebook post by retired ST journalist Ismail Kassim>

To the PAPpie Malays, I like to assure them that I too believe we, the Malays, should be accommodative to the PAP.

I also agree that we should be appreciative of the slow but steady progress that our little red dot has made towards true multiracialism and equality for all citizens.

Over the last 52 years, the ruling party has steadily dismantled the invisible structures that LKY and his lieutenants had erected to limit our participation in areas deemed as ‘’sensitive,’’ which at one period, even extended to the Foreign Service.

What I disagree with the PAPpies is over what we, as individuals and in groups, should do to speed up the process so that the aspirations contained in our National Pledge, will become a reality, not only in name but also in practice.

Should we continue to demonstrate our remarkable patience quietly, and wait with arms outstretched, accepting with forbearance, whatever is doled out to us, at the total discretion of the ruling party?

And should we also stop talking about past discriminations, practise the ‘’see no evil, hear no evil, talk no evil,’’ approach in the belief that it will further soften the hearts of our leaders and make them drop their ambivalent attitude towards the community.

I think we, as a community, must retain some semblance of our pride, honour and integrity, to call a spade a spade, and not to rewrite history, dismissing ‘’complaints of discrimination’’ as just perceptions, just to make our top leaders and the PAPpie Malays feel good.

We must do what we think is right. We owe it to our next generation and to posterity to be truthful, and to be prepared to pay the price just for speaking the truth, without any embellishments.

Of course, we should act with circumspection, and not do anything rash, to undermine the racial harmony and national unity that have been painstakingly achieved over the years.

I believe we should strike a balance. That means we should keep raising issues that make us unhappy as a community and reminding our leaders whenever transgressions occur as a result of their attitudes and policies.

Now is the time for us to stand up and speak up in no uncertain terms. Now, the community is at a crossroads over an unsolicited gift – the EP Reserved for Malays race.

Is this a Trojan horse kind of gift? Is it really free or are there conditions attached?

What do we have to pay later on, what concessions will be extracted from us, just for the privilege of having a helpless PAPpie Malay, whose first loyalty will always be to the Party and not to the People, presiding over the Istana.

This is no time for displays of personal or communal sentiments or friendship. We have to push aside our personal feelings as the occasion demands that we stand on the basis of principles.

We have to think ahead, to the long term implications, rather than to short term symbolic joys.

Already, the proposed Malays only EP election slated for September has caused divisions among Malays and created resentments from a significant proportion of the people towards our community, particularly towards those rejoicing over the poison-laced gift.

This is the greatest setback to multiracialism since independence and a blow against meritocracy and the concept of having the best man for the job, to be freely chosen by the electorate.

I wonder what carrot and what stick and in what proportion have been used to snare two respectable and successful businessmen from our community to want to throw their hat into a contest from which they know they cannot win.

By taking part in this pretence of a democratic election, they and their supporters will inflict an injustice to the nation and to the people.

It takes a lifetime to build up a sterling reputation, but it takes just one error of judgement to turn all to ashes.

I think history will judge this controversial EP race harshly; in time it will be regarded as the greatest PAP blunder over the last 58 years - even worse than the bungling over Oxleygate.

I am really glad that Ismail spoke up. He was a respected lead journalist on Singapore politics particularly in the sensitive areas of Malaysia and Malays and before Cheong's time.

AMP has been captured and have become a PAP proxy. Besides Ismail, not sure who else who has the respect of the Malay can speak up.
