On the contest for Aljunied GRC
I listened to Minister George Yeo's rally speech last night.
It was impassioned and it was right. It was well delivered and it got me thinking. It was one of those speeches that make this election campaign worthwhile, amongst others of course.
Those that know me know I support having an alternative voice in Parliament, but I think it would be petty to discredit something purely to keep along partisan lines.
He seemed pretty sincere to me. Of course, there might be hidden agendas. Of course he wants to survive.
But his speech elevated him above others like Wong Kan Seng, Mah Bow Tan and Vivian Balakrishnan. It does seem like the factions in the PAP are going to war with each other. It does seem like Lee Hsieh Long has thrown his lot in with the Goh Chok Tong camp.
Still there are little perfect solutions in life. Unfortunately, George Yeo must now suck it up like the rest of us have been doing.
