I have always worried about people vying for powerful political positions for the very same reasons Debbie Walsh has suggested here. Look at all the trappings and behavior. Even low class MPs have advanced parties when they go visiting residents homes. Very good for the ego eh?
Meanwhile the new MP for Hougang from the WP spent five hours with a bunch of young volunteers cleaning out a horrifically dirty HDB apartment. PAP, cut the stupid pomp, show and ceremony. You are helping to attract the wrong guys to political office. After LKY is gone, I bet you will have your sex scandals. What holy orders like Dr. Goh alluded to in 1984?
We should have more women in the Cabinet.
It is not a good turn when we start questioning which MPs and Ministers are in this for the ego. Again, we are becoming like any other very imperfect city in the first world. Perhaps there are always far too many powerful positions and not enough good people to fill them. This is what human history had always pointed out. We will need the special few to keep the many other potentially dishonest ones on a short leash.
