Whoever he turns out to be, it will “Continuity with change.” the slogan of the fictional President Selina Meyer in the television satire Veep.
That was actually stolen from the secret slogan of Goh Chok Tong’s and Jnr Lee’s (still continuing) tenures.
Btw, trumpets pls for me. Nice to see that academic and anti-PAP nuts have finally realised that Ong Ye Kung is not PM material https://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2018/04/26/ntu-prof-next-pm-between-chan-and-heng-ong-is-out/. But only after PM said so.
Lest anyone forgets, I wrote in late March
I never was impressed by Ong Ye Kung (See Ong Ye Kung: A study in failure) and nothing since he became minister and a contender to be PM has changed my mind.
I went on to say
I doubt he’s as good as Prof Tommy Koh makes him out to be: “I have the highest respect for Minister Ong and regard him as credible and the leading candidate to be our next prime minister.”
He was the CEO of the Workforce Development Agency and labour productivity never did improve. His NTUC and SMRT failings I’ve listed in Ong Ye Kung: A study in failure.
Granted he has good communication skills, but so did JBJ, M Ravi and this serial promise breaker: Where’s yr defamation video and jobs rally Lim Tean?.
Ong Ye Kung: “Is he the 4G leader with the killer instinct?”
Chris K, when u next meet the people who claim they are in the know, pls ask them why did they get Ong’s prospects so wrong? Are they really in the know or only pretend they are in the know.
As I used to advise people overseas: the real decision makers here don’t talk a lot to their inner circles, even in private.
OK, OK I was wrong to think that Bayee would not become the Sec-Gen of the Wankers’ Party. I underestimated Bayee’s stupidity and Low’s inner SunTzu and despair at WP’s prospects at the GE. More on this next week.
Thoughts of a Cynical Investor 
The Loo and the Builder dealt with him and came away with stardust I thot at the time.
So Builder also tot he was that gd. LOL. Came away with bull dust not stat dust. ))))
we need great leaders like Kim Jong Un; after deciding that he has enough nuclear bombs and rockets, he started diplomacy, and suddenfly nobody remembers NK was international pariah and KJE a tyrannical communist who executed his uncle and many others to hold onto power? in any case, a few symbolic photos
Haha CI, you saw thru the WP handover too. Low doesn’t want his legacy tainted as another Napoleon that won the battles but lost the war.
As sec-gen, Aljuneid will now be bayee’s baby, while Low is free to retreat to Hougang SMC.
I don’t think Low will stand in GE. He’ll commend Dennis Tan to Hougang.
