Sham says PM will only listen to views of people he respects, like.....you know who.

[Confuseous]

In short, according to Shanmugam, we have a Prime Minister who will be influenced by someone he respects and not by someone he does not. You mean the Prime Minister does not consider proposals and views objectively, but allows himself to be influenced by those he happens to respect? I am reminded of our good old Asian values about filial piety and respecting one’s parents. Applying Shanmugam’s theory, will our Prime Minister be influenced by, say, his father whom he surely must respect very deeply—never mind what views the father has?

Thanks to Shanmugam, we might just have stumbled upon a theory that explains the state of politics in Singapore!

In Simple terms, whoever is signing the chequebook or authorize payment, one have to listen.... the rest of the talk, is all BULLSHIT!
