Is it true that the 2nd DPM post left vacant because Ng Chee Meng declined roles in Government?

[phunware]

What do you think?

If NCM is not important, why bother arrange dinner to meet with a nobody?

 

[kimsix]

the way LW speak about 2dpm and ncm feels very strange. is it first time without a 2dpm?

 

[ricohflex]

You all never watch the TV drama series Dynasty?
Who you think 2nd DPM is for?

Some one said he has no interest in politics.

This is an interesting comment in Facebook by a person named May May (about 2017).

A few years down the road, it is announced Li Hong Yi to enter politics. 'When I was younger , I had no interest in entering politics, but after(insert name of most senior minister) spoke to me and asked me to reconsider as my country needs talents like me, I decided to put my country first above self interest and serve my country this way.' This would be a repeat story of how his father entered politics...

A nothing man rejoins politics again , become a DPM?

 

[EdenHazard]

Li hongyi calibre should straight away enter as DPM, can skip all the sps, mos, sms, 2m bullshiat

 

[BunnyPancake]

It is quite obvious if you think about it...

The reason why it is vacant because it may just be reserved for NCM.

And now NCM isn't given any roles in the cabinet because of "temporary arrangements":

I think they're just waiting for all the backlash to die down, then later LW will say something like "We've observed NCM been working very dilligently for a while now; and we've checked everything and he's clean and transparent. Therefore, we will give him a role now." Then promote him to DPM lor.

Again, think nia ah, just my opinion and not putting out as fact... don't POFMA me.

You gonna close this poll in 2035?

You serious??

 

[NextDoorAuntie]

So that the other ministers will work hard to fight for this 2nd DPM position.

Welcome to the real world.

I am anti-PAP, but I am pro capable leaders who care for their underlings. From what I know so far, Li Hongyi has good character and is an actual capable tech guy.

I'd rather have him as my Minister of Digital Development (or whatever new stupid sai name PAP changes it to) than some useless arts grad Jo Teo.

And I'm okay with him being our DPM too -- I want someone who's tech-savvy and who is also politically sharp (you can't deny his background and connections) to chart Singapore across a new AI-impacted landscape.

Lol, are you implying NCM was meant to be a DPM. Based on what merit?

 

[johnsonheng]

possible, lees want him to be DPM

 

[Thoreldan]

I suspect reserve for 小空间

 

[doppypoppy]

Interesting conspiracy

 

[djkopikat]

Based on his experience leading the state funeral of LKY

 

[dnsfpl]

based on below image, excluding all NEW ROLES and NEW OFFICE HOLDERS

potential DPM left Vivian Indranee Grace Masagos Jose TSL

if really want female DPM, my bet goes to Indranee, then NCM take over as PMO or 2nd minister for finance and national development portfolio

dont think NCM will become DPM lar

 

[skylink67]

I think LW want to appoint his follower as DPM but still too green.

 

[Care&Share]

Time for a female DPM.

 

[toolbox03]

The elephant in the room is LHL is still in the cabinet

so 1 dpm from LW camp, the other from LHL camp

 

[week3nd]

Absolutely not lol. Next in line for DPM is the likes of Chan Chun Sing and Ong Ye Kung. Brother Ng can go slowly queue at the end
