Why did Dr Lee Boon Yang resign ?

[Queen Seok Duk]

How often does a PAP Minister voluntarily retire from government ?

Most of the will go on to become SM and continue to collect pension and salaries.

Dr Lee at 61 is much younger than most other ministers. We're talking about million-dollar salaries. And what is he doing now ?

He wanted to live his golden years that most Singaporeans find it hard to dream. Another sign could be PAP internal divide and he felt Singaporeans have been betrayed and PAP lead thru lies, he couldn't take it anymore and better leave to avoid karma lor.

 

[Velma]

He is now a director and chairman of Keppel Corporation.

He will continue to collect pension, whatever else he do, as Velma has mentioned Chairman of Keppel Corp. If LKY believes that there should be no retirement, then I believe that there should be no pension for people still working and earning money, good hefty load of money.

They are going to do what pleases and benefit them, all in the name of retaining talent. There's nothing and nobody to stop them.

It's like moving from the sauna room to the buffet table, with the promise of a body massage to come.

 

[Velma]

It is a smart move to jump from a minister's post to the boss of a government-linked private company. For starters, nobody will question "Why is your pay so high?"

 

[Queen Seok Duk]

I can understand ex-Ministers like Tony Tan and Richard Hu seeking to retire from the Cabinet on their own volition. There were already successful before they became Ministers. Those were 'special candidates' invited to join the Cabinet by the MM. Some will say that Dr Yeo Ning Hong and S. Dhanabalan were unhappy because of the rumored 'slapping' incident.

But Dr Lee Boon Yang ? We all know Yeo Cheow Tong would not have retired if not for some personal reasons.

I want to emphasize Dr Lee Boon Yang is still young and healthy. If MM says no, nobody can leave his chair.

He was a vet!!??

Dr Lee received his early education at Montfort Junior School and Montfort Secondary School. He studied veterinary medicine at the University of Queensland in Australia.

Wahlaneh how big of a cockup could he have made
Bigger than losing $50+ billions, bigger than causing the floods in Spore, .... , or did he say something to offend the old man/princeling/or dowager

Urban legend lah!..like the slapping of the short darkie..oops! darlie..

He can't "resign" per said. He knows too much of all the dirty laundries of PAP. They won't let him just resign. Also, perhaps PAP may want him to stand for the next president election.

Plenty of them in NOL and Keppel.

U didn't know? quite surprised that it's still not widespread enough?

He starting out as an animal doc was not only well-known, it even forced LHL to justify it in Parliament
Putting together a first-rate team to ensure continued success / A first-rate team to ensure success
Friday, 13 April 2007 Straits Times

"Or veterinary science. There was one letter in The Straits Times which says Dr Lee Boon Yang is a vet, so you should pay him a vet’s salary. But Lee Boon Yang is not just a vet. He was a vet. He was spotted by Mr Goh Chok Tong, who invited him for tea and assessed that he wasn’t “just” a vet.
I fielded him, he became Parl Sec, then Senior Parl Sec, then MOS, then minister. He proved himself at each step. He was steady, had judgment, could size people up and get good people to work for him and get things done. Such a person can do many things, whatever his original training.
Quite a lot of very talented people became vets in the 1960s and 1970s. Colombo Plan scholarships were offered for veterinary science. At that time, pig farms were a significant part of our economy, and we needed vets to look after them."

Something wrong with your IQ plus frigging naive.

MOST of them will go on to be SM?!

How many full ministers are there and how many SM are there? In fact don't even have to talk so far about SM. The next step, DPM is already out of reach for 9 out of 10 full ministers. Let alone PM and SM.

How many BGs get to be COA?

What an idiot. I wonder if all opposition supporters are as stupid. Hope not.

 

[kingrant]

LOL! I'm a sammyboy forumer but I ain't just a sammyboy forumer too!

Quite a lot of very talented people became forumers at sammyboy since Dephi.

But unlike the daft PAP, we don't need talented forumers to clean pig shit!

Who needs a lazy-eyed jackass to be our Prez?

As if we dont have enough PAP people doing fuck all up there drawing million dollar salaries?

What a frigging idiotic suggestion! Another PAP brain-exiled lost soul.

We already have one turn here, flip there prataman. No need for another top salaried cbl to "look here but see there" type, just need one with only 2 fingers will do - to hold pen and sign on the dotted line that says 'Approved'
