Screw up and get promoted – that’s the pap style meritocracy. Do you really want this? If not, vote against pap now!
Is he being rewarded for screwing up in recent oil spill disaster? The message is clear – pap screw ups have no dire consequences. Pap rewards their own kind for screwups and take no responsibility for failures. It’s time to make pap pay for their consistent lack of accountability. Vote wisely, vote against the lightning party!
You guys don’t understand, the more you guys complain of cht, the more pee air pee is going to promote him. If you complain some more, chat will be the next pm soon.
This is their way of showing the citizens are not important and can be ignored. They can always import more “obedient citizens” that will vote for them even if they do shits to the country.
Even Malaysia is doing better than us. Bank Negara is completely run without a single Minister in it. Do you know why we are the most scammed State in the world, this is the reason. There are no separation in the powers. LW is not going to do anything differently from LHL. It is humanly impossible for anyone to wear so many hats and to be competent. Our only way to stop the continued degradation of the institutions of the State is by voting them out. The Conflict of Interest of the State by the ruling party as the government,… Read more »

Realm 1 CHT on and on .. fail still can ascend ..
Realm 2/3 depend on who … Fail then KO unless favorite then Pass.
No?!?
Never step down( or get fired) …their incompetents always get a step up …so to save face ( PAPs).
No where else in this world¿¿¿¿
I just don’t know what to say!
A subpar idiotic miw elevated beyond his competency.
Or CHT was made Dy Chairman so that he can represent MAS when the announcement is made regarding the Allianz proposed purchase of 51% of NTUC INCOME?
After all, Chee is a “veteran” in facing the ire of Singaporeans regarding past issues like the Simply Go/2nd Gen car unit/the oil spill.
While Singaporeans are of the opinion he was sub-standard; perhaps the MAS thinks differently?
Let’s wait and see.
Does this mean since his mini star promo now this new thing get him even more wealth?
ERP2? Oil slick?
Pineapple lovers happay can already. you are the ones who is going to work with them….tsk tsk tsk
So it’s obvious in SG, the quality and performance of an individual don’t have a bearing on his or her future. As long as have strong networking and connection, even salted fish can land a well paying plum position in the Apex financial centre
One of his asslickers should present him a model bus stop for his desk in mas for the mess he created & left behind.
This dick can’t even manage an oil spill without lying and deflecting, and now, … he’s rewarded with an additional role at MAS, with extra benefits and dosh, … without the accountability and transparency of course !!!
So now it become very clear without doubt what Lawless Wong meant by meritocracy when he was sworn in. The merit appraisal is basis you must Pappy or Family or Cronies and able to hide state secrets without the need to perform. Uniquely Singapore.
Time is running out to put our country back on the correct path of progression that everyone could be proud of and rewarded equitably. Time to vote Pappy out to achieve same.
VTO. VTO.
Looks like the stars are being aligned nicely for CHT. Chee must give thanks to Iswaran for his (Iswaran’s) alleged malfeasance which paved the way for him (CHT) to be in the limelight.
So, in a short span of time CHT has been deemed deserving of a “promotion” to Dy Chairman of the MAS leapfrogging a Deputy PM ie Heng Swee Keat.
Is CHT earmarked to be Finance Minister/2nd Dy PM?
So far since promoted to Transport Minister this year, CHT performance has been pretty lousy – how many cock-ups already under him? How much backpedaling had he done from his initial statements? Yet still want to expand his portfolio??? Apparently the pappies don’t have enough heavy-weight ministers to front their GRC teams in the next election. Ah Goh was right in 2018 – Kayu Son left it till too late to put together the 4G team (and sway to have the covid in 2019 too). LawlanWong’s team, apparently a B-team, was born out of desperation.
Looks like LW is preparing CHT to be the next Finance Minister.
You can veto with your votes in the next GE.
Doesn’t matter who is in MAS. Bcs 100s Millions of Dollars of losses of SG State Money is UNIMPORTANT when No Blame Culture SHIFTED the Ownership of Mistakes to Currency Factors.
SG can CARE and CONCERN to vote ALL these PAP BASTARDS OUT if NOT SG become BANKRUPT ownself blame ownself.
PAP Administration is damn happy when SGpns are not angry they LOOSE our money.
Uniquely SG…
If he fumbles again, another game of musical chairs will be played out…like they did for that “cotton comes from sheep” fella.
That’s the beauty and uniqueness of sinkingpore system!
The more Chee Hong fumbles and cockup, the higher he is rewarded and moved up.
He cannot even manage public transport system and upgrades well now appointed MAS Dy Chairman.
But then thinking of it is it’s perfectly right as there’s no need for accountability even if things badly messed up.
Just jump to another plum posting and collect fat salaries again and again
