Singapore Social and Political Thoughts: President's Scholars ...
About 1 week ago, there was news that the current Chief of Army Major-General Chan Chun Sing had "Retired" from Army and Retired Army General Brigadier-General (NS) Ravinder Singh had to be activated to become the new Army Chief...... What a typical army working style, letting other people clearing his shits. Is joining army for scholars a fast track to a life long job security and a guaranteed path to politics? I am questioning the MG Chan's motive to join the PAP as a candidate, does he have no sense of duty as Army Chief or he knows from the beginning from the moment he got the President's Scholarship that years later from then, he had arrived; leaving the Army, joining the PAP, becoming a MP, then a Minister drawing a million dollars salary? Or becoming PAP's so called 4th Gen Leaders? Then I remembered. You're a FARMER. Armchair critic + keyboard warrior who failed miserably in school and could only watch drooling with envy as people undoubtedly smarter and blessed genetically go on to lead successful lives and do great things he could never hope to do. You don't even have friends in those elite circles - that's why you trip over yourself criticising scholars. The green-eyed jealousy in your post is obvious for all to see. Why else would you come to silly conclusions like MG Chan is not serving his nation by joining politics? You're so handicapped you can't think of anything better to complain about besides the fact that he retired early. You can't see the bigger picture that he's making an even bigger sacrifice by putting himself out there for politics. You have no understanding of what it's like, and that's why you're stuck here running a blog that nobody wants to read. HAHAHAHA WAHHHH "not another Lee" huh?!?! Aiyoh. So smart ah, you think you're some smartass conspiracy theorist because you spotted that he has a famous surname! Then anyhow draw conclusions some more, when he's not even related to the Lee dynasty but he's just a million times more capable than you. That's why he was plucked out of the air force to run CAAS. Okay lah, very smart, very smart, we're all going to die because his surname is Lee!!!
But then again, any general's career in the armed forces is served at the pleasure of the minister of defence/ prime minister. so even if he wants to be a good soldier and remain a general as long as possible, the govt has a habit of rotating all the generals, perhaps so that they could not be so entrenched with military power that they can then coup d'etat the pappies.
