Lol. If it's a formal event, in which everyone else turn up in a suit, he should do the same and not be a Silicon Valley wannabe try hard. 

You see how Zuckerberg wear to suit the occasion when its expected to be a formal event...

 

Yup thats what i mean.

Maybe we can write to Obama and ask him whether he's keen on being our PM? He's one year younger than Heng. Just saying.

My impression OYK will rule with an iron fist. Go my way or go fly kite ... 🤐

Rule with iron fist doesn’t work nowadays.

Here’s a good read from yahoo:

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/comment-heng-swee-keat-chosen-as-singapore-pm-chose-to-quit-035901193.html

 

With the benefit of 20/20 vision - no pun intended - Heng's unease in his role had been apparent for some time. One of the clearest signs that he might not be primus inter pareswas his fumbling performance in a November 2019 parliamentary session.

Having proposed a motion that called on WP Members of Parliament Low Thia Khiang and Sylvia Lim to recuse themselves from financial matters relating to the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC), he was meant to carry the ball. This reporter wrote at the time, "Instead, just minutes into the debate on the motion, Heng had to call for a time-out. He hummed and hawed, flipping through his folder like a student stumbling through his class presentation."

Tellingly, clips of PM Lee looking exasperated and instructing Heng on what to say in the session had been circulating online. The latter's reputation has always been that of a genial technocrat, and not a political street fighter.

Maybe some minor health issues that are not life threatening?

Coming from a guy who don't even bother or to have the decency to dress appropriately (proper footwear not slippers) when addressing his audience at a suit/tie event as a representative of Gov Tech. 

Just because he thinks he's the Messiah of IT? Oh no, more likely it's because the Li surname carries a lot of weight here in Singapore. And that means respect don't have to be given from him. 

f**k this guy lah. If there's a 3rd gen Lee in political leadership, we're doomed. 

likely follow mummy dress sense....

Okie Dorkie... multiple choice:

1. Ya Kun Kaya Toast

2. Law Nhng

3. Cotton Candy Stick

Team Hobbit and dwarf.

dwarves are slightly taller and good in a fight.

hobbits are all wriggly and sneaky.

plus all smoke tabac and enjoy tankards of ale.

short of elves and rangers. Which is very much needed.

most important are the maidens, to temper the iron.

all of you saxophonists, never weigh the charbos.

Signed

your dorkie.

well... i have a certain sympathy for heng.

hear me out...

Heng may actually be the kind of leader we want and need to move forward... instead being stuck in the bloody headed vindictive, AIM, repent, darth Vader kind of toxic politics SOME hanger ons want to use to keep themselves in power. Perhaps hes just not into that type of politics, but someone is forcing him into a corner, like a gang initiation.. :"prove yourself, shoot that man.."

 

PM Lee looking exasperated... thats a joke... cos ive lost count of the number of times LHL spoke in public and people around the world slapped their foreheads in exasperation... mee siam mai hum, no middle kingdom etc comes to mind.

Received via WA:

⭐️A G4 Leader Dark Horse ⭐️
  In the press conference where DPM Heng announced his decision not to be the next PM, one reporter from a Chinese TV Channel asked him if he has any person in mind who should be the next PM?
  He requested DPM Heng to answer in Mandarin for the Chinese viewer. 
  Mr Heng begin his answer : "别担心..... “ 
  Before he can continue , a voice from the audience shouted "Thank you, I accept". 
   Everyone turn to the audience and standing there smiling was Mr Pritam Singh (别担心)

That someone is either OYK or LW. 😆

Anyway, how did Desmond Lee became one of the potentials? Because his surname is Lee?
