When I was growing up in the 1980s, teachers felt a calling to the profession. These days, it's just a job to most of them; the passion is long gone.

Tan See Leng entered politics from a career in medicine and business. He was recruited by ESM Goh Chok Tong to contest in the 2020 GE for the PAP in Marine Parade GRC. He stepped in to succeed Goh after he retired, and was appointed a minister thereafter. TSL and Goh CT's son, Dr Goh Jin Hian were colleagues at Parkway.
Oh, TSL and Dr Goh are colleagues. No wonder. Fast promotion to minister
It is not how much you know, but who you know that gets you promoted.
True especially in public sector jobs. Wonders why Dr Goh don’t take over the job himself?
Dr Goh is not whiter than white because he has a major court case hanging over his head now.
But nothing happened n it’s the independent sg and small media news that report
