Dr Koh says politics is his way of making sure that his kids grow up in a Singapore that is very much like the one he grew up in. The Singapore that Dr Koh grew up in didn’t have the deluge of immigration that we have today. Is Dr Koh saying he will challenge the government and make sure its policies are reversed? That would be most unexpected and to some extents illustrate the emptiness of what Dr Koh is saying.
Dr Koh attributes his rise to Singapore’s sound policies put in place by a capable and committed government. But our basic policies were all inherited from our British colonial government; even Dr Goh Keng Swee acknowledges that.
While it may seem that Dr Koh was so poor that he had to borrow money to renovate his flat in 1998, the fact is that 1998 was probably the year he graduated from medical school. Being able to pay for his flat down payment upon graduation is something most Singaporeans cannot afford to do, even today.
