Wong Kan Seng wanted to step down in 2001

Sun, May 22, 2011

Former deputy prime minister Wong Kan Seng revealed yesterday that he had thought of retiring from the Cabinet in 2001.

He had been in the government for 17 years and had told then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong that he was prepared to be let go 'any time'.

But Mr Wong said that Mr Goh decided that he should continue.

The same thing happened with Mr Lee Hsien Loong, who took over as the Prime Minister in 2004, when Mr Wong again made his intention of retiring known to Mr Lee.

Mr Wong, 64, was speaking at the sidelines of the National Clan Associations Congress held at the premises of the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations in Toa Payoh. He attended the event as its guest of honour and in his capacity as the Deputy Prime Minister, his last official engagement as DPM.

Mr Wong said that he had mixed feelings about retiring, as he had been 'involved in government for so long', but he added that the new Cabinet was a good one, and he believes the members will have the strength and ability to carry through with their plans for Singapore.

All LEEreporters of the Braddell Brothel MUST remember to ask one question of all cabinet ministers during the next election - DO YOU HAVE ANY INTENTIONS OF STEPPING DOWN? This will get rid of all they hypocrisy that keep creeping up with these not-shy ministers. And who is an incompetent minister to comment on the quality of the incoming cabinet?

I find their words very hard to believe. Power and wealth are intoxicating, and to lesser men (such as them), we should not expect anything less than total seduction.

I want to retire in 1974.

Don't believe what Wong Can't Sing and Marbok Tan have said. The temptation of 3 million salary a year for a relatively simple job is too hard to resist. I bet WKS used to earn less than $5000 as a manager in HP. I bet he won't be able to rise to stardom so quickly if he never enter polictics and could only be earning something like $20K at most per month now. As for Raymond Lim, I bet he will say he is a unwilling minister and blame Ass Loong for giving him such a dirty portfolio of Transport.

I would prefer they don't come up n tok they actually wanted to leave...please loh, just go, and enjoy your pension. I am prepared to "feed" these ex-minister from my taxes in return for a fresh change. KNN, many of us singaporeans would have retired without any pensions n rely on CPF.

What purpose does it serve to come out and tok u wanna go? Only tells me the opp, that you actually dun wanna go.

Re: Ah Mah wanted to retire 2 years ago, now Ah Wong says he wanted to step down in 2

you know if you join pap, you are not allowed to retire voluntarily unless the boss tells you to go. remember lss mentioned retirement during campaign and got shot back by lhl later?

since they pay so well, why not just hang in there and anyhow do (like the escape and HDB issues) until you are asked to go ?

it's not their fault actually, it's the system the old man created.

mbt and wks might be laughing in their sleep now as they have more time to enjoy their wealth now.

Bad brand name, look like even their own people don't want to associate with bad brand name these days.

Suddenly everyone has a say and wants to opt out from bad brand name PAP.

Wonder how many still respect old fart these days!

Hmmmmm going by their admissions, it would seem that they were fully aware of how badly they have messed things up back then! Shocking! Dirty bunch of bastards.

Too bad they did not retire as the money was simply too good.
Now that the citizens fired them for incompetence kindly return the pensions.

Re: Ah Mah wanted to retire 2 years ago, now Ah Wong says he wanted to step down in 2

The last ten years, Wong Cant Sing have been singing praises of the Lees. Rounding up dissidents and supporters of the opposition SDP is his forte. Tightening the noose each time.

He even claimed there is democracy in sinkieland just bcos there are elections once every five years! Shameless and stupid. He enjoyed being their lap dog. A pariah top dog.
