winston : what you mean?
mr lim jit poh is a former top civil servant leh...(there's no such thing as civil service in singapore...there's only government service... have u ever seen those envelopes... they all say "on government service" ... it doesnt say "on civil service"... if this is not convincingly enuf... then one must be pretty thick)...formerly a fulbright scholar...not halfbright scholar leh.... ... receive some public admin medal leh....
why would he run away from his riches and treasures?
outside of singapore.... there's no guarantee that he will have all these directorship appointments, you know... outside this LeeLand, he may not even have a job....
so, why would he even want to leave his protected and golden rice bowl zone?
