Baba Emperor is a typical chink Emperor of yore. He considers himself an enlightened despot e.g. Qin Shi Huang, Mao Tse Tung with more class because he was educated by the Brits.

His relative by common law, Phony Tan has perfected the fine art of co-existing with Baba Emperor. The Brits called it Congenial Cooperation.

Phony Tan, now crowned Rubber Stamp often bragged how he repealed Baba Emperor's hated eugenics program. According to him, he dismantled this program when he was the MOE Minion but he supported it during Baba Emperor snake oil sales talk.

This is how you survive in politics. When the Great Despot has a crankpot idea, you merely nod your head and pledge your support, self preservation, the Chinks called it. The Despot has no need for clever minions, he only wants loyal minions to carry out his silly ideas (Mao and his Great Leap Forward).

When quizzed for his silly support for eugenics policy, Rubber Stamp Tan immediately used the Soviet concept of 'Collective Leadership', absolving himself of any blame and hence preserving his noble reputation. This is merely following the river flow, not rocking the boat approach.

Why did he repeal the eugenics program? Well, Baba Emperor realised the folly of his eugenics policies foisted on peasant children. He probably realised the Nazis and Soviets were better eugenics goons but were laughing stocks of the anglo-saxons. His ex-colonial master, Princess Margaret did warned him that it was tried unsuccessfully on horses. MOE reported that the eugenics program created a storm of howls from peasants who sterilised themselves but were unable to secure the benefits e.g. school places for existing child. It was costing political mileage for the regime but Baba Emperor did not rescind his silly eugenics decree.

Sadly it took a tragedy to wake Baba Emperor from his slumber. One of his grandson was an albino during the period of the Eugenics Policy. It was a rude shock for Baba Emperor who thought his bloodline was impeccable. Heaven reminded him that divinity has many ways to remind Despots not to consider themselves Equal to Heavens.
As a result, Baba Emperor had to find a scapegoat to undo the silly program and what better person than Phony Tan, the person who will never be the Prime Minion.

One last titbit, why Baba Emperor will not make Phony Tan the Prime Minion? The reason is simple, as King Louis XIV, Sun King realised, it is better to groom a peasant e.g. Woody Goh because it is easier to demonise a lowly peasant leader than his own illustrious relative. Baba Emperor probably realised that many Chink Emperors came to a sorry end when their kin became the regent.
