We need capable people to advice on the trade and industry! Perhaps bring in cheaper Kate Spade goods?

Or more cheaper chicken industry so that the chatter box chicken will not be so expensive?

Perm Sec is highly paid. A junior Perm Sec at SR5 is equivalent to Senior Minister of State. So Mr Ng How Yue is of higher rank than Minister of State, such as Tan Chuan Jin, Lawrence Wong etc....

No history students here?

 

It took centuries of oppression before monarchies were overthrown. Dictators were overthrown by foreign armies. True Democracies take decades to change parties because the incumbent government has the upper hand in persuasion - that's how they got there in the first place.

 

Many people who have left this sunny island were not running from the elected government.

 

They were running from the electorate.

 

Give it in the region of 10 or so elections.
