"In every GRC, there is one minsiter, in some cases there are two, like here. So if you lose a GRC, or 2 GRCs, I think he mentioned two or three... then you've got to find five or six new ministers from among those elected to fill those post. Now, is that an easy thing to do"?

Sorry hor, I don't agree with Wong Kan Seng.
1. If PAP thinks that they cannot afford to lose any Ministers, then they should put ALL Ministers with MM, SM or PM in their respective GRCs. Then they can more or less (not 100%) be sure that all Ministers will be elected into office!
2. Look, there is a Canotese saying that goes, “吃得咸鱼抵得渴” (translated : If you want to eat salted fish, you should be prepared to withstand the thirst!). If PAP is prepared to put Ministers in different GRCs in order to get more support for their ordinary MPs, then PAP should be prepared to lose the Ministers in the event Opposition wins!! Risk vs Return (freaking forumer PAPsmearer does not understand this logic too!)!!!!
3. You mean PAP only have a few MPs that are of Ministerial calibre? (I think Lily Neo can take over Vivian Bala's portfolio anytime!).
4. If no other PAP MPs are of Ministerial caibre, then they can always choose from the Opposition MPs.
Personally, I dunno what Wong Kan Seng is talking about!!
He does seems to understand the meaning of 吃得咸鱼抵得渴!! He wants to have the cake and eat it at the same time!!
