Good point. Just read the criteria.. basically if u are not previously a minister, then u must be a CFO of a sizable company.. In particular, u need experience in administrating and managing financial matters..

Fcuk.. even CTO of Apple also not qualify coz they don't manage financial matters.

The rules and criteria aren't set for fairness, but to further entrench power and control. And they then get to claim that it was all done by the book.

A simple issue has become a gigantic issue.

WTF

Just a simple family problem becomes worldwide well-known sensation liao lah!

My heart- broken into pieces and no heart for PAP liao

They deny own citizens for a job yet freely give jobs to FTs and PRs

Why discriminate own people for a future and life here?

FTs and PRs are easily controlled, unlike Sinkiees who have the power to oust them in a General Election, and thus demands more goodies..............

The term of “dishonourable” is very much subjective on which side of the fence you’re on? But the problem still lies with who stand to gain more out of this ultimately.

Sounds like Taiwan and China issues leh!

If you know your Chinese history, there's an even deeper legacy to this analogy. 

Cao Pi oppressed and forced his more talented younger brother Cao Zhi into obscurity and an early death. But in the end, his own Cao family dynasty got overthrown and usurped by the descendants of his own military advisor Sima Yi, who then set up their own new dynasty and reunified China under the banner of West Jin. 

Families with internal strife and disunity will never be safe from external threats and challenges. The days of the Lee dynasty in SG are hopefully numbered. But who and what replaces them? Nobody knows yet. Who's Singapore's Sima family?

A simple layman understands a simple will. A will is written to ensure no arguments, quarrels, etc after one is long gone dead. Will's wishes must be fulfilled and executed. LKY wants to demolish his house. That's all.

How many people died in Three Kingdoms China?
China's Civil Wars

The Three Kingdoms War (220-280 AD) was a struggle between the Han dynasty states of Wei, Shu and Wu, the net result of which was the triumph of the Jin dynasty. 

Fighting between the kingdoms, plus disease and famine cost an estimated 40,000,000 lives."

40,000,000 lives???
During Romance of 3 kingdoms, the estimated Chinese population at that time was only 8 million ppl.

Just want to be very careful with such things lah!  You already said Taiwan belongs to China leh!

To be exact, almost the whole world had said that Taiwan belongs to China. That include the USA, so it is not me who said that. I merely echo what many countries have said. 

But judging from your past posts you would think otherwise. Isn’t it?

USA acknowledge TW is Part of China and still stir shit to encourage TW to be independent from CHina.............LKY signed on his will to get the house demolish but our Govt said otherwise, see the similarity

Now that you have mentioned about it. Indeed the similarity is there, but how many will admit with this “coincidence”?

American has “taught” the world well, flip flop is a common thing these days.
