But he was the one who brought up the proposal in the first place, I think. Doesn't count for a whole lot if he opposed it later. I would've had more respect for him if he'd stood by his principles from the start. What is a man if not for his principles?

 

I can't be sure of this, because it's a hazy recollection. But I remember a televised address by Bill Gates when he visited Singapore - he said that the gahmen had assured him that they would not try to censor the Internet because it was a futile and regressive thing to do. Bill Gates seemed very happy with this (and presumably told all his American friends that we were sound). Shortly after we left, the MDA censorship started, and the architect was George Yeo. What can this behaviour be called, if not disingenuous?

 

and yes, he is one of the 'other' camps as i had told u b4

 

Maybe. I've heard the same things you have. But what did it really make him *do*?

 

Anyway, I hope you're right on this point if he does win the next PE. Perhaps he'll be the next OTC. I have my doubts, though.

 

But all I can say is that the monsters he's bred when he was in power continue to torment us Netizens after his departure - like the MDA (I'm referring to the $50,000 bond thing, along with the ever-present blocklist).

 

 

this i agree, which is why even Obama watching us for it.....

 

well, let's see 2016 first, but doubt he is in for politics anymore...

 

sth like you 'dun bite the hand thta feeds you' kind of thing lah. i dun envy him, cos conscience over the mind, and survival.....until it finally got to him.

 

Seems like his last days was a battle within, and without, but hey, over lah, altho agreeably so the machinery was set in prodn then

whether he really have his own internal struggle about the casino idea or not, I dunno. but if he's really a staunch Roman Catholic like what ppl say about him, then I believe he must had alot going on inside himself about the casinos

You can have a lot going on inside you, but it counts for naught if you have nothing to show on the outside for it.

 

If he was really a staunch RC, he wouldn't have supported the casinos at any point, let alone introduced the idea.

 

Apart from that, I've nothing else to say, because I think I've made my point.

think by now u know bro, dissonance theory actually set in finally. the casino, if i heard him correctly, he had an internal struggle also...and he voiced agst, but well, he was only 1 voice.

the ruling gang must be thinking " good riddance" when he got voted out.......

this, i am a firm believer of.....many times, we dun realise, but then we think back and it made a difference, similar to how Steve Jobs looked back and realised those downturns, helped him realise his greater calling!

But seems like the job he is taking got some risk... like digging skeletons from the closet... hmmm

 

 

He managed to studiously avoid any skeletons in the PAP closet. He knows where not to look.

That's probably partly why he stuck to foreign affairs, so he can avoid dealing with uncomfortable stuff back home.

 

He is not a change maker, at best a right hand man.

That's the problem with SG people

 

We vote out ppl who are good and we continue to vote in ppl who deserve to go......

 

And these good ppl will leave and do something else, and we let those not so good ppl continue to control

 

I feel that him leaving the PAP and Singapore is a good thing for him. Now he serve in the world scale instead of national. If he had carry on as a minister, he may not be answering this higher calling to involve in the rebuilding the confidence in the vatican.

That, I completely agree with. Then it wouldn't just have been an 'upset'. It would've been a bloodbath. :D
