“You decide. You
choose Tang Liang Hong, Jeyeratnam, raise their status and lower
the Prime Minister’s the Deputy Prime Ministers’ stature, in
Singapore, internationally, that will have very serious
consequences.”
“What we are now doing is to… put all the chips on the table. It is
a winner-takes-all situation. MRT, LRT, Punggol 21, upgrading,
estate improvement, libraries, kindergartens, better schools… all
these are plans which… have put to the people.”
“We win, Cheng San will get not just the attention of Lee Yock Suan
and the team. Cheng San will get the Government’s attention, my
attention, Lee Hsien Loong’s attention, Tony Tan’s attention. Even
in Marine Parade you don’t get such attention. So you win big or
you lose big. So tomorrow, you have to decide.”
“You may also have
heard this old story about Loong. Back in 1990, Loong had a quarrel
with Richard Hu. Dhanabalan sided with Richard. Loong lost his
temper, reached across the table, and gave Dhanabalan a tight slap!
The whole Cabinet was thrown into commotion. I then forced Loong to
apologise.
I must be suffering from amnesia. I just cannot remember this
incident! Now you know how creative Singaporeans are!”
