Ok, accepting that TT's sons had special treatment...

[steffychun]

and looking at their vocations in NS, especially Dr. Research Medical Scientist, and comparing it to our esteemed BGs: Lee & Lee, Georgy Yeo etc etc....

Does that mean Tony Tan is higher than LKY? If one of his songs can get 12 years deferment and a special vocation, plus the others with slack jobs, while Lee clan and others had to serve till BG level, does that mean that our new President-elect is superior to the founding father enough to get his sons super-special treatment?

The answer is in the negative. One is a dynastic ruler and the other a mere eunuch. No prize for guessing who the boss is.

the Lees got President + SAF Overseas scholarships

The Lees never got loke cheng kim scholarship and President Scholarship at the same time.

And none of them got 12 years deferment

 

[Cestbon]

Any press dare to ask TT about his son special treatment in NS. I don't think anyone from Shifty Times and Mediacock dare to bring out the question.
Only can depend on oversea journalist to question him. Singaporean are doom have to depend on FT to ask one simple question.

Lees may be groomed for dynastic rule - so need to complete NS . TT sons are not.

My point is LHL and LHY never got 12 years deferment. TT is cleverer in getting Patrick that

The sons of an emperor are princes and are fast-tracked to be BGs. What can the chief eunuch do for his boys, except to get them off the hook?

lianbeng replies, "during imperial era families and relatives of emperors were regarded highly above all others."

3SG and 12 years of deferment is better than BG?

3SG and 12 years of deferment is better than BG?

Of course not. Imagine the princelings strutting around with stars on their epaulets. The allure of power is intoxicating.

 

[steffychun]

I say 12 years is better than BG

What talking you? Never thought of that?

The sons were under close watch. How to keng? Got to set an example for all to see.

Tony's sons do not need to do that. Just stay of sight, out of mind. But now caught and exposed for all eternity.

Indeed the Lees covered their tracks better. And they got great mileage for their "service".

Put it is your position. Would you want to be a BG if your dad forced to be or an "air con" soldier and 12 years no NS?
