An excellent chance for him to show what he is made of. Double edged sword though if he cannot hold his ground. Given his credentials, I however think he can hold his ground and put the PAP MPs in their place.

First sign of true meritocracy in Singapore Parliament.

陈硕茂:"I feel privileged to be nominated for appointment to the Committee of Selection and look forward to working with the Speaker and other members of the committee in the performance of its functions."

Read his "我的回归之路" to know him better.

Ultimately, while he's the most senior and most educated of the committee members, I fear they will pull strings to get their views in.
