Vivian kicks off erection campaign at Trevelis

[jw5]

It's so sad that no matter how many elections he wins, he still doesn't get a major portfolio. :(

He was an expert on world shattering even like YOG...why SEAP games , they never consulted him?....as a consultant...

It is not easy to fail as a minister in S'pore. More so when you have the brains. Sadly, VB proved me wrong. This is one guy Rajaretnam spotted and groomed.

People have short memory ... over time , the value of the Trivelis will still go up as it is near to the MRT and the Jurong Lake District.

With such mentality, dun need to do anything?

VB is a very good debater in ACS. He is fluent and sharp... I have seen him in the inter-school debate. He did come across as one who is sharp and articulate. But governance is more than just being able to talk fluently. One must have the ability to put words into actions and deliver results. This side of him is still not very vivid.

Words into action is executed by civil servants. Not VB himself. I am still puzzled. Maybe he can get advice from Simon Tay.

Because sinkies have shown time and again, they have short-term memory. Vivian will retain his seat in parliament by a comfortable majority while the SDP continues to roam the streets.

You were singing the praises for the MP and the RC just a few days ago. That Ms Vivian has to show up implies that the MP and RC did not accomplished anything.
Please slap yourself again ten times.

Vivian told the residents that flooding along corridors is unacceptable and if there are defects in the new flats, they should be fixed by the developer.

How does Ms Vivian know it is a defect? Did he check the specification drawn up by HDB? For all you know, this flooding was caused by the design flaw of the HDB. Then how?

Rajaretnam chose Ms Vivian because he was Indian?

My observation of VB ( and I may be wrong ) is that he has more of the humanistic and the moral side. He is not particularly strong in numbers. So, when it comes to big projects, he is good at understanding the "artistic' or "moral" side of the project ( " call a spade a spade , a flood is a flood , not a pond " ), but not so much on the numbers side ("how much does it cost to fix the drainage system ? How much is the budget for maintenance ? " ). Unfortunately, sometimes when you got a lot more people in the committee that are on the artistic or moral side, the number side of things can get overlooked.

At that level of projects, you cannot fumble at the numbers because those numbers are humongous.

A chup-cheng ah neh with a girlie name is also a defect.
