Were new ministers scraped from the bottom of the barrel?

The second level of defence the PAP has built around it is the quality of its leadership. They are able and talented men and women of great abilities. They are the best of the best, the crème ala crème of the country. This is now ringing hollow. Many policies have failed. Many ministries and ministers are found wanting in their areas of responsibility. And the new recruits at the lower level are viewed with so much scepticism and cynicism that it is not a laughing matter. It was like scraping the bottom of the barrel. The aura of greatness, of infallible men and women with great talents and ideas somehow is drawing a blank. Many are being ridiculed publicly in the social media, in public conversation and private gossip mills.

The miw scholar system is over-embellished and over-trumpetd by the msm.The taxpayers' funded miw scholars were obsessed with their career,status and perks rather than working for the interests of the ordinary citizens.

Very true. I have been hearing it for more than 35 years from LEEgime.

Many policies have failed. Many ministries and ministers are found wanting in their areas of responsibility. And the new recruits at the lower level are viewed with so much scepticism and cynicism that it is not a laughing matter. It was like scraping the bottom of the barrel. The aura of greatness, of infallible men and women with great talents and ideas somehow is drawing a blank. Many are being ridiculed publicly in the social media, in public conversation and private gossip mills.

Yet 60% of the population are in self-denial.

You know what? At the next GE, the issues that the opposition take up should be public transport, housing, healthcare and cost of living.

Most, if not all, of the so-called talented Ministers are not business savy and probably not know how business are run nor how the lower rungs of citizens, let alone the middle class, go through their daily lives.

These lack of understanding were reflected in the transport and housing policies, besides the many others.

Afterall, what does a army General knows about business and working lives? All the financials they came closest to is stretch out their hand and ask for budget to be spent, and money will fall from the sky (actually from tax-payers) right into their laps!

There have always been clowns in the PAP. Othman Wok and Chua Sian Chin were just as lacking in grey matter as some of the current lot.

Eddie Barker was a party animal at heart but there were no digital cam phones to record his antics.

Yeoh Ghim Seng had a wife and his nurse was his mistress. He housed her in nice bungalow in 6th Ave. Nobody batted an eyelid. It was an accepted norm for successful men to keep a harem.

And there was plenty of ponding during Ahmad Mattar's reign as Environment Minister.

In those days people were more forgiving because they could see improvement year after year in flood management, jobs, pay, affordable housing etc. also the pap was more humble and did not pay themselves so much more than man on the street. PM pay then was at most 10-15 times that of a clerk.

But for past 15 years, pap pay themselves a hundred times of clerk salary, and lives of ordinary folks either stagnant or slide downhill. Tougher to enroll into primary school near house, unaffordable public resale market, crammed public transport, depressed pay etc.

Othman Wok was having a secret relationship with a widow whom he met in during his MPS.. That widow went to him to seek help for her application for a HDB flat..

Horny Othman was then still married to his 1st wife.. Othman then secretly married the widow without informing his 1st wife..

1st wife then flew into a rage after finding out that Othman married again.. LOL..

OBEDIENCE is the character trait needed by the Lees'. Even if you are intelligent and aspire to change things for the better, you need the Lees' to nod their heads.
