Retirement Of MM Lee And SM Goh

1. Big ups for their contributions towards the nation that Singapore is today. Every Singaporean has alot to thank then for.

2. That being said, this GE has shown that these two big guns were getting a tad out of touch with the electorate.

3. They will still have a bearing on many of PAP's policies but it is a good step forward that they do not have these ministerial posts hanging over their heads. At least their views can be more easily defined as their own rather than the PAP's.

4. For MM Lee in particular, this is a good move pre-empting his passing one fine day. Singapore can at least show that we can still survive without his ministerial shadow in the backdrop. And at least he will still be alive to see his legacy thrive.

5. Good to dilute MM Lee's accolades for his integral contribution towards nation building while he is still alive. Better than a tsunami of thanksgiving only after he dies. In fact, it will almost guarantee that his legacy will live on as long as Singapore remains a sovereign nation.

6. Give that man a statue already! My utmost respect to our founding father.

7. As a Marine Parade voter, don't you feel somewhat taken for a ride after GCT led his team to a slight victory and then retires from his post in the cabinet? GCT has done his part for this nation as well, and this exit strategy will preserve the good he has done. Hopefully he still helps the constituency.

8. Once again, this is a good move by them both. I look forward to us developing and advancing even further as a developed nation.
