Last time, 2 AGs in 40 years; now 5 AGs in 8 years. What's happening?

[Confuseous]

Reacting to the new normal, lawyers speculate that higher powers "desire to limit" the office terms, given the wide extent of the A-G's powers. That could be sheer balderdash, as the political incumbents have always weighted heavily on continuity, and sneered at the slightest hint of change.

During Chong's term, one senior civil servant was acquitted of corruption charges, and an academic had his conviction overruled on appeal - after serving an undeserved jail term. And if the public prosecutors don't have a water-tight case, the pastor of a mega church may have reason to rejoice. The mainstream media argue that charges against former chiefs of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) were tendered before he was sworn into office, but much of the m&d slinging took place during his term. High profile cases like these must have http://singaporedesk.blogspot.sg/2014/04/changing-of-guard.html

I love reading that blog.

Witty and insightful.

As many have alluded here, could be the recent CPIB cockups that resulted in the change. I think WW was also at loggerheads with the govt?

2 AGs in 40 years is not in itself a good thing! Just like one party for 50 years and counting.

Tan Boon Teik was most idle. Stock market was more important.
