Responding to Catherine Lim's latest article on the Elected Presidency

Just received and read the latest article from my ex boss which Catherine Lim had circulated. Also discovered that she has made it available online: The Elected Presidency: More Of The Same Or A Whole New Game?

When I finished reading the word file, I responded to the sender thus:

Thanks [name deleted],

Curiously nobody is writing their perception of developments from the PAP bench. Former ministers that are out of office like George Yeo, Dhanabalan etc., had not assumed the task. One way to look at it is that they were paid men to do a job. Had it been passion that had driven them, can they restrain themselves from pounding the keyboard or lifting the pen? 

It would be incredible when their beliefs and passions are challenged not to rise to the occasion. 

This is completely atypical of LKY and the PAP. They pride themselves in returning as good as they get. What happened?

You are free to speculate. It would be unthinkable and completely out of their nature to just keep receiving.
