So weird, when Tuck yew was the transport minister, u all also scold him until like dog.
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.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.
I always had the impression he was one of the better transport ministers at least compared to all the succeeding ones.
Could be wrong.
How?he tried hard but lucked out
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.Yea...not another general![]()

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.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.
