I’m totally for a government not run by a female. To keep it short, Look at countries who are run by a female(s), they are either assassinated or running a screwed up country. (eg. philippines)… nuff said.

I says serve them right. Are they as prejudiced as the Christian fundamentalist? Now they have to swallow the pill of the PAP.

Like the gay, you are not yet deceiving of the right! Isn’t that stupid?

Preferably, we should have a female head of state with power, all of us know the power of motherlove, nothing is stronger. Man(gender) by nature are incapable of love, they are prone to fun and thrill seekings. What say You ladies?

If female become full minister, she won’t become corrupted because
she would be paid $millions.

But most probably her husband may become corrupted because he is
not entitled to be paid $millions, like what has happened in the
Philippines.

So, logically speaking, female should not be promoted to full
minister. Senior MOS is already very good lah.

“it risks raising the ire of at least 50% of the electorate”

That sentence alone put me off reading the rest of the article. It gives Singaporean women, or simply Singaporeans, too much credibility, period.

Other than the very small minority of internet voices, Singaporeans basically don’t give a shit what happens in local politics.

That’s the beauty of it all – the decision ultimately belongs to the voter. The onus is on the politician to listen to and convince the voter, whether it is music or noise to his ears. Not the other way around. The voter votes according to what he think is right, not what the politician thinks is best. He doesn’t get what he needs or wants, the politician doesn’t get the vote.

Dr Seet Ai Mei was Acting minister for MCYS for a brief period of 2 – 3 mths b4 elections was held. She was narrowly defeated by Ling H D (SDP). Many think tht her loss could be narrowed down to 1 episode when she was at the mkt, shook hands with a fishmonger and later washed hands, many perceived this to be looking down on others. But I’m also sorry to say Ling was a worthless and useless MP, 1 term he was defeated by Ang M S, tht really showed how much of wk he has done in Bukit Gombak. He went on to say chiam talked c**k in parliament, I thought tht was very unbecoming of an MP. Welllets nt say sporeans hv nt given a chanve to opp MPs butif u hv men like Ling u may as well forget it.

I don’t even know who is Grace Fu until two days ago when her face appeared on TV when her promotion to become Snr MOS was announced.
One look at her immediately put me off. I don’t wish to elaborate.

At least, Mrs Lim Hwee Hua is more active on the ground. I think Mrs Lim makes a better minister because she is more sincere, forthright, people-oriented and has the leadership qualities.

I hope in the next cabinet reshuffle, PM Lee would give her a full minister’s post.

In addition, Dr Lily Ng should be highly rewarded because she has been the only PAP MP who really spoke out for the people persistently without losing heart, despite being “sniped and sneered” so many times by the vultures and crocodiles.

Is this a ‘relevant’ topic ?

“No female full Minister in Cabinet”
Why not choose something like
“No elected full minister in cabinet”

Instead of asking why no female as full minister, why not simply raise the question of electing full minister by the citizen of Singapore rather than conformist by LKY. Could we have committed and honourable gahman like ex-president Ong elected by people as president ?

Who really care about minister been female or male if they only manned to serve only the PAP but not citizen of Singapore ? Did we not realize that majority of ministers seem to be partisan and serve only to the LEE ? Didn’t the minister been selected only as Lee’s conformist and inability to ‘do the right thing rather to do thing right (To cover their ass by not raising real issues)’”

Well, did Grace Fu speak up for the people in parliament like Siew (If so, where are the Youtube video ?) If these minister doesn’t even dare to voice out publicly, why will they want to help the citizen ? Due to moral authority ? Or just tell us NO CHOICE ?

Find a minister who dare to raise question and question policy against the establishment, not one who give defensive argument that lack substance and become protective of themselves OR WORSE, KEEP THEIR FUC@#$@KING MOUTH SHUT LIKE PRESIDENT NATHAN AND STILL PAY > $3 MILLIONS
