Kudos to him for not following the usual PAP elites who just hop on to some government committee or GLC board.George Yeo's new book details 'tensions', complex ties with Lee Kuan Yew and why he nearly quit PAP after Aljunied GRC loss.
He's built quite a name for himself in the academic and think tank international scene, so all in I would say his career after politics has been successful.
Better quit PAP for he is the right words.

I had a close encounter with GY and we chatted. I think he is still very much hurt by the dropping out of politics. He should move on and find closure.
It was a good chat.

At 68, who still talks about "career"? You?
Let's agree that GY is a multimillionaire. You want to talk about career with him?

Hence, after he lost the election, he was quickly asked by LHL to step down from CEC, even though he still had a year left to next term. Obviously LHL can't wait to see him go. If not for the fact that LHL is LKY's son, our current PM may be George.
This was alluded to in Francis Seow's book, "The Media Enthralled". This is what he wrote:
Quote:The appointment, therefore, of Brig. Gen. George Yeo as information minister may not be entirely accidental, as he appears to be a person after Lee's own heart. He echoes not only the senior minister's thoughts, but apes his turn of phrases with such exactitude that he is spoken of in media circles and elsewhere as the "surrogate son." He is often included in Lee's entourage in his incessant overseas junkets, a sure sign of favour.
Another excerpt:
Quote:But, recently, Brig. Gen. George Yeo, the minister for information and the arts-who is increasingly moulding himself into a plastic copy of the prime minister-revived the guru's teachings that if a journalist uses the newspaper columns to campaign for an issue, and denies the minister or the civil servants the right to rebut it in those newspaper columns, or insists on having the last word after their rebuttals, then, he should "leave the newspaper and enter the political arena."

From what I understand from acquaintances who work in Kuok Group, George Yeo was hired with the intention that he set up the foundations in Kerry for Robert Kuok's younger son, Hua, (who was a tad too young at that time) to take over. Once Hua built up credibility and reach of age, his work was done and Hua naturally took over the reins.
At least the two chaps who work there I know say externally there were no signs that George Yeo was unhappy over there. In fact he seemed to be enjoying himself there as elder Kuok was very flexible and allowed him to pursue his personal high profile interests simultaneously seeing them as a way to raise the profile of Kerry at the same time.

Is he pro-West? I didn't know about that. Do you have any dealings with him to claim this?
I just thought that he's someone who is very hands-on and read widely to find out for himself instead of solely relying on his lieutenants. Of cos, I dun think he would have made it under current circumstances because the civil service now cannot have a maverick. He's lucky that he has GKS as his boss.

Everyone in Asia is pro-West, even most of the PRC population is pro-West. Even XJP and most of the politburo is pro-West.
The question you should be asking is whether one is anti-Chinese.

Not true for me lor. No need to be pro this pro that. If they have something good for us to learn we just learn. So how about Philip Yeo? He's anti-Chinese huh?
