Why do you need two permanent secretaries? These people are paid handsomely and are supposed to be the best.

MPs take 5 years 1 election to groom.

Yup. They could have appointed him 2PS but doesnt look good. Maybe in future we will have new post - Sr PS.

Not likely. What's the age of the 'old' one? Need to find a place if 'old' one isnt that old.

If include DS, wonder what each is doing? Waste of taxpayers' money. Look at PMO. Obscene.

So that each perm sec can have more than one car, both MID and private plate numbers.

True story: when Tony Tan was the Defence Minister (and Lui Tuck Yew was then the Chief of Navy), he constantly changed his cars. He loved Volvos. One of his cars had a tv for backseat passengers.

The PAP family keeps on growing & growing because times are good for them.
You never hear about cutbacks or retrenchments.

Don't know how much longer the system can last but when it implodes, expect plenty to suffer.
