PM: Vote for quality people to represent you
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
PM Lee met with Singapore reporters on Wednesday and Thursday (14, 15 Jan), touching on a broad range issues, such as the evolving political landscape, the challenges facing Singapore and Singaporeans, and his vision for the country. On the coming general election, Mr Lee said that the PAP is likely to field about 24 new faces. In each of the last 2 GEs, 24 new names were introduced as PAP candidates. He indicated that the number of PAP candidates debuting in the coming GE would be “around that figure”. “I will bring in some MPs and some new people with leadership calibre in the next General Election,” he added. “Therefore, we should be able to find a successor between this election, the previous election and the next election.” The next PM will not have as much time as Mr Lee did to prepare for the top job, but Mr Lee noted that countries such as UK and the US have elected leaders without much governing experience. In the interview, Mr Lee also dropped some hints that some of the GRCs in the coming GE may be headed by ministers of state or parliamentary secretaries, rather than by Cabinet ministers as has been seen previously. This could be an indication that there may be more but smaller GRCs in the next GE. ‘We definitely will not change the GRC system’ Mr Lee also said, “In principle, every MP should be able to contest on his own to keep his constituency. I think every MP should be prepared for this because they won’t be able to know whether the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee will carve out an SMC from their GRC. The objective of having GRCs is to ensure we will have minority representation in Parliament. I think this is still necessary, so we definitely will not change the GRC system.” “There is no institution that can guarantee it will never be overturned. Even if you don’t hold elections, there may still be revolutions. So in Singapore, if everyone just assumes the Government will not be unseated and votes as he wishes, I think that is a very dangerous assumption,” he cautioned the Singapore voters. Vote for the best person During the interview, Mr Lee also exhorted voters to vote for the best person.
