[GE2025] Punggol GRC

[dqwong]

Jamus is economics professor and work in world bank before, sure can take over

If Jamus had joined PAP instead, he would likely be 2nd Finance Minister

 

[MonkeyPanky]

Actually they still can throw the Desmond Choo under the bus now and save NCM

 

[lalalalalala]

So he is saying out of the 96 ppl he choose to contest all wards. 95 of them buay kan tang ping freeloading coasters, only 1 gky can do actual work?

Summore your key personnel you go play switcharoo?

 

[valkyrie112]

It is such an irony to hear this question from the very person who put DPM Gan in the current situation. The move is purely political and not so much about meeting the needs of Punggol residents. Really hope they can see it.

I remembered that MAS OK the deal, but it was under board member CHT.
So I cannot really remember where GKY under MAS stepped in.

the irony that no PAP labour MP came into defence of the deal in parliament

“Let’s be clear – WP didn’t step up; they stepped away from Marine Parade.”
basing on the same logic, we can also say that PAP has stepped away from CCK by removing DPM Gan from there.

On DPM Gan’s involvement in seeing Singapore through crises, such as the ongoing trade war, PM Wong said: “Who in the WP team will take over all this work?”

He suggested that the WP had dropped its plans to contest Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC and “parachuted” into Punggol as it had not anticipated the PAP’s move to field DPM Gan in the new constituency.

“No doubt the WP would have preferred me to field a new minister here, or maybe even just go with the existing team and a new candidate,” he said. “Let’s be clear – WP didn’t step up; they stepped away from Marine Parade.”

[Sad Panda]

[lizzykai]

If anything happen to GKY tmrw, Singapore is doomed?

 

[jericho75]

look left look right can liao

Machiam like this Netherland football song

 

[Tormented Soul]

PAP's tactics showed that they just want to block opposition from having more seasts, rather than they want to retain their top ministerial talent in parliament.

 

[moonlighter_sg]

look left look right can liao

during any meeting, we must avoid sitting between 2 bosses... end up look left, look right.. look like an idiot

the irony that no PAP labour MP came into defence of the deal in parliament

But Voucher Wong said 6 PAP MPs spoke up leh

 

[Gixxerfied]

Jialat, nobody to backfill...

If suay suay any minister mishap, that particular ministry close shop?

 

[dezzo69]

I will credit to the person who created the public outcry

a few ppl like tommy koh and tan kin lian were the first to raise an alarm about the sale when it was announced.

tbh i dun even know how they managed to find out about the capital extraction thing because the terms of the deal was supposed to be secret.

 

[dezzo69]

But Voucher Wong said 6 PAP MPs spoke up leh

i think they spoke up APPROVING OF THE DEAL.

He also said that as chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), DPM Gan deserved credit for stopping the deal between Income Insurance and German insurer Allianz, after questions were raised about Income’s ability to continue its social mission after the sale.

“It was the Government that stopped the deal, and it was MAS chaired by Gan Kim Yong that proposed new legislation that enabled us to stop the deal.”

At a rally on April 28, Mr Harpreet Singh, one of the WP’s Punggol candidates, had called on the Deputy Prime Minister to respond to an open letter from former Income chief executive Tan Suee Chieh that questioned his role in the deal.

Responding alongside PM Wong, DPM Gan said the deal was debated extensively in Parliament, and there was ample opportunity for MPs to raise questions on the matter.

“Many MPs raised questions, and we answered all the questions. So I think the whole process was transparent and upfront, and we had opportunities for MPs to ask questions on all aspects of the deal,” he told reporters.

There was extensive debate before the Insurance Act was amended to block the Allianz-Income deal, Mr Gan added.

PM Wong noted that Mr Tan had credited him and the Government with stopping the deal.

“But actually he shouldn’t credit me. He should be crediting Gan Kim Yong, in MAS, because they amended the Insurance Act in order that we have the legislative ability to put a stop to the deal,” said the Prime Minister.

“We are the ones who ensured it didn’t happen.”
