Tuck Yew found a good posting. He was unlucky to be hit with MRT breakdown and the Navy collision case.

Dun play play.

Think he is doing well as ambassador.

Successive roles in Japan, then China, then now USA.

3 of the most important countries to us.

For people like him (scholar), no matter how well or how bad they are doing in their "jobs", they will always, ALWAYS have cushy govt jobs (see Ng Yat Chung and Ng Chee Meng..but it's actually ALL of them. These are just 2 of the high profile pathetic failure but fail-upwards types.

Yea...not another general😂
He once boasted in public that he saw flooding when he left his house for work and took another route and avoided the jam, and felt really proud and lucky in achieving it. Didn't even bother to wayang to help his fellow residents. This kind no-empathy type is more suited in his current hide-in-one-corner-so-no-one-notices-me (and jiak liow bee high income) job.

Well, yes and no.

For the ambassador role, if you cmi, you will be taken out and not be allowed to continue representing (and embarrassing) Singapore.

He actually was given successive increasing responsibilities from Japan to China to USA.

I would give him some credit.

That's not my pint. My point is it doesnt matter if he is good or bad, so even if he fail as ambassador he will fail upwards. And ambassador is such an easy job. If he can fail i have nothing to say.

Before him feeder services fare was separate but he folded it into the main trip for a lower price. I think people forget.

Not sure about your age or your knowledge of SG politics.

Tell me which other person has represented us in Japan then China then USA successively.

Also, you do know that we had asked a former President to step down after he embarrassed us overseas?

An ambassador is not "such an easy job".

I partly agreed with you on Ng Yat Chung and that is why I said yes and no.

But try not underestimate or even look down on public servant jobs in your hatred of PAP.
