Heng’s economic background makes him a safe pair of hands, said Terence Lee from Murdoch University, who added that social media seemed abuzz with relief that it was Heng who had emerged as first among equals.
Heng was a “political cleanskin in that he does not usually play the role of an attack dog in parliament”, said Terence Lee, and there was “a degree of dislike for Chan Chun Sing as he comes across as artificial and contrived – he has valorised his humble background one too many times for Singaporeans’ liking”.
Felix Tan, associate lecturer at SIM Global Education, noted: “Heng Swee Keat has been able to reach out to the public with much ease and has a certain air about him that makes people listen.”
...................So Heng’s only flaw, if one can call it that, is his stature, as Singapore’s founding father Lee Kuan Yew described. In his book One Man’s View of the World, he praised Heng but added: “The only pity is that he is not of a big bulk, which makes a difference in a mass rally.”
