Looks like LSS already scheduled for the next class intake since he's in EC. MBT at Tampines school, depends on arrangement between NSP and WP whether NSP want to let WP take over the class. To be fair, GMS team also scored above 40% in Tampines, so he should have a legit first option to contest Tampines again if he wants to.

At Marine Parade school where GCT is still in shock over Kate Spade exam result, I think next time should hire young teacher of the year winner Nicole Seah to take over the class and finish the last chapter of the syllabus.

........ASEAN leaders surprised, saddened by George Yeo’s defeat
By Ion Danker | SingaporeScene – Mon, May 9, 2011

Senior Minister S. Jayakumar says ASEAN ministers and leaders were saddened and surprised by George Yeo's defeat in Saturday's polls.

SM Jayakumar, who is representing Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the ASEAN summit in Jakarta, said: "Nearly everyone I spoke to - ministers and the leaders - were saddened and disappointed, and surprised to know that Foreign Minister George Yeo has lost."


Mr Yeo's team lost the battle in Aljunied GRC to the Workers' Party (WP) 'A-star' team, led by former Hougang MP Low Thia Kiang, top lawyer Chen Show Mao, party chairman Sylvia Lim, Pritam Singh and Abdul Faisal Manap.

The WP won the key GRC hotseat, beating the People's Action Party team by a surprisingly clear margin of 54 percent to 45 percent of votes. Aljunied GRC comprised over 143,000 voters.

The loss by the PAP team means the Cabinet will lose two Ministers in George Yeo and Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Lim Hwee Hua. Lim is also a Second Minister for Finance and Second Minister for Transport.


"Why were they saddened? Because to them, George Yeo has been a very articulate, able spokesman for Singapore.

"But not only that. They consider him as one of the most ardent advocates for the cause of ASEAN. Highly articulate; a champion of ASEAN in representing ASEAN to the rest of the world," said SM Jayakumar, who will be retiring from politics.

He also described Mr Yeo as having immense talent and did not discount the possibility of him being given another role.

Turning his attention to the election outcome, which saw WP creating history by capturing the first GRC for the opposition, SM Jayakumar said it was a major step in the evolution of Singapore's parliamentary and political system.

"Things will change, and with every change we need to ensure that it is for the positive and not negative," he said.

"All the criticisms that have been made about us and our system that it stifles the opposition, that the GRCs perpetuate the ruling party. Well, it has been proven wrong, because the system works."

Well, given that PAP still governs singapore, i don't think any foreign diplomat is going to say orbeegood, you just lost another dog.

What's the big deal? We didn't vote him as FM. His appt is not decided by us. He ws voted to take care of Aljunied. Someone better came along, and was voted in. He was asked to fark off. Simple as that.

He said that? LHH was lucky, I wud have said worse.

"... he said he came to Aljunied to teach us a lesson!"

So can LTK please go teach a lesson to WKS, MBT and LSS in 2016?

Spot on.

Resigned minister lying to the press. No ASEAN minister cares.

Can't believe Jayakumar can be so naive. Never trust the words of diplomats. They are expected to be diplomatic and lie. SM Jayakumar should return to NUS to lecture.

He can retire with a monthly pension of 2/3 of his last drawn pay or take a lump sum of 14.5 years . If this is correct, thay would be app $150,000 X 150 = $22,500,000. Any vacancies? I am at a lost of what to do with that amount of money.
