This old man very smart to send a worded letter. Check n counter check, no misunderstanding analogy or loose lips situation. Very water tight. He is indeed the smart one! me thinks the reason why he wrote his argument in black and white is because he is old already, when he talks, he might go off tone then others misunderstood him. old man already mah, tone is not as harsh as in his prime years Edited January 19, 2012 by Jkcs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were fighting everything then: the withdrawal of the British forces, high unemployment rate, spiraling inflation rate, crime, communist threat, etc I do not even mind we now allocate some money to be paid to their surviving spouses or family to recognize their trememdous contribution which created the strong foundation for today.

Seriously this is slowly to take the form of what was happening after Mahatir stepped down & Abdullah slowly amended or totally scrapped policies introduced by him. Case in point was the crooked bridge. Mahatir was absolutely furious & instead of taking potshots, he blasted his successor with all the heavy artillery until Abdullah raised white flag & surrendered. Not likely to happen here in that state but we all know how old man is & so he will continue to have his voice heard when he feels like it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep remembered this one All I know is that they came down hard with measures after measures to cool the white-hot property market which also indirectly causing HDB prices going northwards. So much so for HDB prices collapsing If the majority of Aljunied GRC voters did not do what they did during the last GE, Mr Horse would probably still happily in the cabinet stoutly defending his "heavily-subsidised & affordable" housing & property policices.
