Referring to recent mainstream media reports on ex-government scholars joining opposition parties, Mr Lee said that election candidates should not be judged by their academic abilities but by what they can do for Singapore. (CNA, “Candidates should be judged on what they can do for S’pore: PM Lee“, 25 Jan 2010.)
In Mr Lee’s own words as quoted by CNA: “I can tell you, we interview many scholars and each time we field a few of them. And we interview other people too and we often field people who are not scholars. It is good to see it in perspective.”
Reading between the lines, is PM Lee implying that scholars who join opposition parties are PAP-rejects?
First and foremost, academically well-qualified people including scholarship recipients joining the ranks of the opposition is nothing new, particularly in recent years. It is only due to the fact that the mainstream media has consistently blacked out news of academically qualified Singaporeans joining opposition parties that the public has come away with the impression that this is a brand new phenomenon.
no wonder. pm didn't include ngejay as one of the scholars interviewed. a scholar nurtured by the gov who turns back and bite the hands that feeds him is confirmed as a loser.
Reading between the lines, is PM Lee implying that scholars who join opposition parties are PAP-rejects?
does ngejay mean himself as the PAP rejects? is that why the resentment against gov
