Your type of cai, is it? 😂

 

Many Singaporeans were very unforgiving when she first ran for office. I remember there were many nasty posts here. 

We don't need super smart and qualified people to be our MP (but we better not have stupid ministers), we need people who have passion to serve with 2 feet on the ground. PAP should get rid of more of those get out of my uncaring face elitists in their ranks.

True, but if one kena recognised or someone takes a photo, that will be the end of the career for any civil servants. Not just perm sec level. Even on those on the lower rungs.

Ya. My cousin is the immediate neighbour of a minister… every time when i go his house, will also kena scrutinised by the security stationed outside the house. The point is, when i see the 2 cars he owns, it’s sooooo humble for what he makes. Let’s put it this way, the 2 cars he owns will fit very well into any HDB car parks.

Kinda sad right? Got his millions also cannot spend. Even the family also need to “suffer” along with him…cannot do this cannot do that, must maintain decorum, must act poor…. Bla bla bla…. High level Civil servant really no good ah 😆

It's what many civil servants call "optics".

No choice lor. U have to be low key.

These top civil servants are normally not flashy types. They are all selected through same scholarship, generally have same schooling background, all printed from the same mould [laugh]

All from the same gifted programmes like breeze(29 + 1)?

MP should be a full time job IMO. They already have a lot to do, and they are well remunerated.

Doing too many roles, in the end may not be effective in any.

i just saw the COP for JCs after O levels. No surprise.
4 points for RI/HC, ACS(I) 5 points.

Only interesting thing is that NYJC has now moved up to above VJC/NJC category.

Yes, she has proven many of her detractors wrong. Must give it to her for giving up her job and going full time to serve the residents. Luckily she has a husband who is a high earner.

I will vote PAP if she comes to my CCK ward.😂

May be I move to CCK...
