5 When Mr Goh Chok Tong asked me to stand for elections
in 1984, I was relectant. I was then in
the army, serving as a regular. I was a single parent, with two
young children. Entering politics was not in my mind. But
Mr Goh persuaded me. He has guided me since as a mentor
and a friend, for which I am personally grateful.
make me think of myself years ago.
During my NS days, there some secretary of defence( cannot
remember his name la). visiting our camp. we are force to
attend.
all high rank officers sit up front. during the speech, he crack
some joke that only the top rank officer laugh out laugh and some
even clap their hands. we the lower rank, look at each other and
wondering what the hack he joke about.
moral of the story, i convince me not to seek a career at govt
ministries or stats boards. Coz i prefer lady A.. than theirs!!
