My question is, will the incompetent and world's highest paid Lee Hsien Loong magnanimously step aside if PAP gets defeated in the coming GE?

Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou waves to his ruling Kuomintang (KMT) party colleagues after resigning as chairman in Taipei




Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou has resigned as chairman of the governing party after it suffered a crushing defeat in local elections.

Mr Ma, who will continue as president, said his Kuomintang (KMT) had failed to reform Taiwan quickly enough and had not met the people's expectations.

The KMT lost more than half of the mayoral offices it had held, including the capital Taipei.

Prime Minister Jiang Yi-huah and his cabinet have quit over the results.

"I must deeply examine myself honestly and shoulder the greatest responsibility for the election defeat," Mr Ma said.

"The results of the election tell us our reforms were not made fast enough and have yet to meet the expectations of the people, which is why the KMT failed to win the support of most voters."

The KMT said it would hold a leadership election next month.
