CCS has openly denied he is related to LKY; TPL has also openly declared that she has not been promoted at E&Y. I believe they would not come out and crush the rumours that have been spreading like wild fire on the Net if the rumours are true. Why would these pple want to spread such rumours? what are their motives? Do they feel any happier seeing pple's lives disturbed by untrue rumours? I dun understand...what do they gain?


Btw, I'm not fans of the above 2 'victims'. I'm neutral. Just feel that such unkind rumours have gone overboard. Esp. for CCS who has asked Temasek Review not to spread such rumours as it's an insult to his family, particularly his mother who has brought him up single handedly.

No, I never suggested any possibility of him lying. But there are untold information.

And, what is a machine operator? job scope? you can be a machine operator whether you're operating a $10 machine or $100mil equipment isn't it? You can be an Independent business Owner or MLM agent, depending how you like to call it.

machine operator cannot have wealthy or powerful relatives?

A lot of pple read at face value and draw their own assumptions..

As of now, the mother's identity is still an unknown, isn't it?.

Well, I quote from limlim the above, \"the mother's identitiy is still an unknown and a machine operator can operate a $100mil equipment isn't it ?\"


There is no stopping anyone to purposely cast doubt on such issue. Untruth spread like fire in this new age. Sad.

d Old Guards used d ISA against political opponents in d earlier days, n change d tactic to one using defamation suits ard 1990s.
d last time ISA was used for a sizeable operation was Operation Spectrum in 1987.

Ya lor. That's what set us apart from those with dignity and those with little right? But it jus goes to show that the $$ you get doesn't really make the world of difference. When you speak your mind, you speak your mind. Whether people like it or how they perceive it, you have spoken your mind. This is when one's true personality (or colours) over-rides all other \"processing\" in the head.

[concern2]

I noticed this round those who who did well in the PAP are those that 'stayed low' (correct me if I'm wrong). Anything that is spoken subjects them to 'unforseen' backlash. It is so ironic. Used to be the other way round. Only this time, it isn't the use of legal action, but :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

[wapobs]

after Lim Wee Kiat's joke, wonder how much dignity will Gerard Ee propose for our dignitaries :?

[pinky]

I guess the salary cut will be 10% ONLY :skeptical:

Ex PAP man Tan Cheng Bock is gearing to run for President in August.

He is not currently being endorsed as d garmen’s preferred candidate.
President Nathan was returned unopposed in d last 2 Presidential elections.
TCB was one of d more vocal and decent PAP MPs who spoke his mind in parliament till he stepped down in 2006.
Wat a difference one GE makes.
D political landscape is getting more interesting.

Is this the last term for President Nathan? Is there a max time a person can be President?

[ChiefKiasu]

Regardless, for the sake of whoever becomes the next President, I truly hope that it will be done through a proper electoral process that allows the people to exercise our choice of who we want to be our President. Having a pre-qualification process with very stringent criteria set up by some small committee will only serve whoever decides on what the criteria should be.


Walkover elections can earn no respect for the winner. They are unfair for both the winner and the electorate.

I would venture to say many ppl share dat those same sentiments.
Whereas d PEC was set up to ostensibly screen potential Presidential candidates
so dat not any Tom, Dick n Harry can get elected to d highest political office in d land,
dis is a high n perhaps subjective entry barrier for many;
with d exception of d ex Accountant General Chua who ran against Ong Teng Cheong in d first PE,
no one else has cleared dis hurdle except for a PAP endorsed candidate.
Left to be seen if TCB turns out to be PAP endorsed, though he resigned from PAP this year.
If not, dis could turn out to be an eventful PE.
