PAP leaders are the world's best leaders and ministers
that's why Singapore is such a first world society
Mr Chan is our aspiring PM material. He is young. He is friendly. He is committed. He is sincere. He is very grounded. He has a very humble smile and a very compassionate heart.
Mr Chan one day will be our PM !!! Majulah Singapura!!!
SINGAPORE: For the country to extend its success beyond its first half-century of Independence, Singapore needs a next generation of leaders who are caring, committed, competent and cohesive, Mr Chan Chun Sing said.
But underpinning all of that must be a common goal - that of building a better Singapore, said the Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, speaking at the unveiling of the People's Action Party's candidates for Tanjong Pagar and Radin Mas constituencies on Wednesday (Aug 19).
And above all else, he said, that is the key job of the country's leaders: Being able to pull Singaporeans in the same direction, for the country's benefit.
"That is what we believe in, what I think our residents and Singaporeans believe in, regardless of race, language or religion, regardless of our differences in perspective on various issues. We are all committed and drawn to this common goal, to build a better Singapore," said Mr Chan.
"And this is the role of leaders. Leaders are not just people who speak up for certain segments of interests. True leadership is about people who bring people together, mobilise them for action, beyond debate, beyond rhetoric."
THE FOUR "C"S OF LEADERSHIP
On what makes a good leader, Mr Chan, who became an MP in 2011 following a military career that saw him attain the rank of Major-General and become Chief of Army, said: "The kind of leaders that we hope for Singapore are people who care deeply about the welfare and well-being of Singaporeans, people who care deeply about the country. People who go down and ensure that every strata of society is taken care of.
"Second, we want leaders who are committed to the cause of Singapore. It has been a marvel that we have been Independent and free for the last 50 years. In order for us to continue this journey, we must have leaders who are committed to serve. Not for their own fame or glory, but for a higher calling.
"Third, we want leaders who are competent. Who know what they are doing, not just at the surface level but down in depth.

"Last but not least, it is never about the individuals – it is about cohesion. We as a team, as part of the larger PAP team – it is the cohesion that stands up. Each of us has our weaknesses but it is our cohesion as a team that will allow us to amplify our strengths. This is how I think Mr Lee Hsien Loong would like to see the whole PAP team, performing as one."
Added Mr Chan: "Individually caring, individually committed, but collectively competent, collectively cohesive. If we can achieve this then I think we have every prospect of continuing to beat the odds and taking Singapore to a higher plane."

All our generals only look good in their uniforms. No combat experience, no battle scars, no heroic deeds or achievements ! All hv premature ejaculations,er retirements from their high military posts and a direct entry path to ministerial or CEO stardom. Impressive!
