Does anyone expect Lim Chuan Poh to be able to handle the
situation at A*star better than outgoing straight-talker Philip
Yeo?
Given the fact that the sparring opponent is a member of the Lee
family, who has always gone against her father's wishes? The
stinging sensation from her defiance against her father's wishes to
go to Pre-U at RI instead of attending college at NJC must still be
ringing in LKY's ear.
Against the likes of heavyweights such as Dr Lee, can Lim Chuan Poh
convince the public that the BIO-MED research in upcoming Biopolis
will not be a massive splurging of taxpayers' monies and another
expensive tuition fee? Philip Yeo may have managed to flaunt his
obvious arrogance with impunity against errant bond-breakers, but
his responses against Dr Lee have been nothing short of muted, like
a barking dog which has been suddenly muzzled.
In a dog-eat-dog world, where the bigger dog comes out tops, can
his final response of 'letting Lim Chuan Poh answer further
questions' be a sign of throwing in the towel?
Under the circumstances, can the former chief of defence force
(CDF) possibly stabilize the ship?
