Stepping down...


Since all local channels are showing National Day Rally speech, I just watched a bit of it.

Our PM, Goh Chok Tong has just named his successor, DPM Lee Hsien Loong. Well, the last time I checked with my bookie. The odds that he would succeed is 1 pay 0.000001. There you go. Nothing surprising. However, the twist is that he wants to give the new PM 2 years to establish himself before the next General Walkover... ahem I mean, the General Elections. That'd mean that he would step down next year! Highly surprising...

Well, his main focus would be to revive the economy. If you ask me, he'd better step on it...

So far, I don't think there was any mention of stayers and quitters this year. Heheheh...
