PM has reiterated at the PAP Party Ordinary Conference that he would see Singapore through this COVID-19 crisis before handing over the leadership reins. That reminds me of the proverb, “Don’t change horses in mid-stream”. Its origin is attributed to Abraham Lincoln who, when nominated for a second term as President by his Party, said, “I do not allow myself to suppose that…(they) have concluded to decide that I am either the greatest or best man in America, but rather they have concluded that it is not best to swap horses while crossing the river …”
A supporter of Lincoln observed, “Thoughtful men believed that it would be suicidal to change our chief ruler while the war (American civil war) continued.”
For us, stay strong together to reach the bank safely – with sturdy, fresh horses waiting. --- gct
