Thanks for sharing. I doubt the same lot will be associated with him come 2016.
TJS appears to be very isolated these days. In the SDP, he seemed close to Ang and Michelle. When he ran for President, Michelle but not Ang helped him. Lately, I have been hearing that Michelle has gone over to WP, a place that would not accept TJS, and she has not been seen hanging around him. The NSP gang who helped TJS, especially Nicole and Jeannette, are also hardly seen with him. After the PE, he stuck with Ben Pwee and the rest of the ex-SPP guys, but this seems to have stopped as well. |

I am rather surprised and disappointed that he has turned out to be like this. When he first broke upon the scene, I was rather impressed by his background, qualifications and experience. But as they say, give a man rope enough, and he'll hang himself. I think he's carried away by his own ego enlarged by all that popular affection, it went to his head. Given the political temperament of the day, any monkey would have caught some of that adulatory fever. A man like TJS ought to have known how much of it would stick to him and how fast it could rub off if he is proven to be a dud eventually. Sad he has turned out to be a self-preening vain cock seeking self-glory. |

I agree with you but I was never impressed with him from the start. He flaunted his PPE degree and experience as if he is the king of economic know-how. Who the Beep is Lord Butler? His paper is ok, but what's it to be endoresed by Lord Butler? Butler is an undemocratically elected member and not an esteemed economist like even William Easterly, Ha-Joon Chang, Joseph Stiglitz, Paul Krugman, etc and he continues to flaunt his "endorsed by Lord Butler" paper. I am keeping you under a close watch. As usual finishing your night shift at 8am tomorrow? |

I had replied that I studied economics at Oxford and later headed economic planning at Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry... An indication of the amount of brain-power + connections has been shown from TJS, who came up with an alternative economic plan shown in the last GE. How he is being ejected from the govt's think-tank will be a mystery to me. And there are others like him... these people hide behind the masks of politicians and are in control of the pulse of our country. We may be misdirecting our guns at the wrong guys... TJS will not be a threat to the country - even if he is elected. |

Imho, I believe that we are now on auto-pilot from the policies of Old Man's era. Many of them are now having hard time moving ahead ( HDB pricing due to assets creation/loyalty building, loose immig policy/falling birthrates of Chinese & Indians..) becos the very architects who dreamed them are now retired, and our current fresh fries of leaders incl. the son, are mere pen pushers who have not the same conviction as the old man. That's why they are having a hard time explaining to the people and getting their acceptance. I dont think there are many policies that are conceived by the current gen leadership. There are no Lim Kim Sans, Goh Keng swees, or Hon Sui Sens in the current Cabinet. Even the son is over-rated.
I dont think bros here are saying TJS is not qualified. Rather it is his self-pomposity and self preening peacock behaviour that is putting people off. |
