Chan Chun Sing, you wanna be PM? Sharpen your PR first

Posted by Barrie on December 31, 2011

Chan Chun Sing did not give a very good first impression to Singaporeans when he was introduced as a PAP candidate last GE. Now it is reported that Chan Chun Sing could be the next PM.

My concern is not so much whether he is liked at home or not. The bigger issue is that he appears to be very suspicious and confrontational towards our neighbours, especially Indonesia. Our first PM had a history of skirmishes with Malaysia due to his Malayphobia. We sure don’t need another PM to be in direct confrontation with an even bigger neighbour!

For all the talk that Chan was in Indonesia for a stint and Singapore could benefit from his experience, I think it is the opposite. He wasted his time there and wasted tax payers’ money too. He learns about nothing from his Indonesian stint. I’ll come to that later.

In the meantime, here’s the report about newbie Ah Beng Chan who’s gonna leapfrog over many others, including Tharman and Teo Chee Hean.

Faces of 2012: Chan Chun Sing – Next PM?

Chan Chun Sing. Smiling on the outside, but disdain for Indonesians on the inside? Pic taken from link above.

From a young age, Mr Chan Chun Sing has been a high-flier. A President’s Scholar at 18, he became Chief of Army at 40. Now, at 42, he is one of the youngest ministers to be appointed to the Cabinet.

This has fuelled talk that the Acting Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) is a front-runner to become the next prime minister. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong aims to step down by 2020.

While these are early days, observers concur that his performance has been promising. They hail recent MCYS plans – such as more resources to support services for the elderly, initiatives to help the disabled and improving the childcare sector – for delivering welcome government aid. Those who have worked with the Cambridge economics graduate speak of his sharpness in analysing issues.

His portfolio gains special significance next year as a slowdown looms and demand for social aid increases. Mr Chan says he wants to make the social service sector more effective, and to achieve economies of scale while maintaining its ‘personal touch’.


That’s what the papers and the pro-Chan Chun Sing camp say. Now let’s take a look at his past performance.

Chan Chun Sing learned nothing from Indonesian Stint -

It has been quoted widely that Chan has portrayed a view we are to fear the 200+ million Indonesians around us – Army boy Chan Chun Sing talking cock. It appears that his stint in Indonesia was a big waste of time and funds paid from our tax payers. He could have learned the culture of the Indonesians and helped bridge our relations with Indonesia. Instead, he completely missed that opportunity and came back totally empty handed – plus the feeding of the paranoia to Singaporeans about how 200+ million Indonesians want to usurp tiny Red Dot!

Two of the most thorny and outstanding issues we have with our southern neigbours are:

1) the extradition of corrupt Indonesian tycoons (who have their corrupted funds safely deposited in safe haven Singapore!), and

2) the dallying of return of a piece of Indonesian airspace which is currently under Singapore’s control.

I wrote about that here – Chan Chun Seng goes to Indonesia, learns nothing, resolves nothing

PAPpy has counter argued that Indonesia wants to use the extradition as a bargaining chip to rescind some joint military exercise both parties have agreed on.

Come on! Say what you like, PAPpy. Those illegally laundered funds ain’t ours, so even if you don’t wanna extradite those crooks you are harbouring here, at least return those funds back to the rightful owners, ie Indonesia!

Note that Chan’s stay at Indonesia did about nothing to improve our ties and does nothing to help ease the strain due to those two issues. Incidentally, it has been argued by political commentators that the sand ban was due to the fact that the extradition talks collapsed. Yeah, no thanks to our bad foreign PR, our cost of building and real estate and housing have shot up!

My Conclusion -

I think some factions of the pro-Chan Chun Sing group are trying to push him too fast and too far too soon. If he does get to be PM, with his atrocious judgement and lack of diplomacy on Indonesian matters, it is gonna be one big pain in the *ss for Sinkiepore when it comes to relations with Indonesia. We learned the hard way when our first PM goofed his relations with Malaysia in the 1960s all the way to 1980s. Let’s hope we don’t have to deal the same with a bigger neighbour, no thanks to Ah Beng Chan.

He has to sharpen his PR skills not only at home, but more importantly with our neighbours as well.

PS – I think only these are the ministers who have the calibre of PM material at this stage.

-Tharman (very sharp and astute)
-Shanmugam (ditto)
-Teo Chee Hean (enough international experience, but his downside is that he’s an Islamophobe)
-Heng Swee Keat (untested in foreign dealings but has shown he’s a doer who gets things done and not just a talker).

Note that a BG’s name (who is the current PM) is not in my list. He simply takes up space. Anyone can do that.

I would have considered Ng Eng Hen, but seeing him cave in to the minority vociferous “Let’s promote Chinese” group on the MT issue, I think he can’t take the pressure of being a PM, should we have an international crisis.

>Why is Chan Chun Sing such a big draw?

Posted by Barrie on May 20, 2011

>Is it just me or is everyone facing this strange phenomenon? My Chan Chun Sing posts are attracting a disproportionately number of hits compared to my other posts. Hits are attracted to Ah Beng Chan the way bees are to honey. Even popular Nicole Seah is a pale and distant second.

In the past, before the GE 2011, my posts on Old Man Lee have always scored the highest when it comes to attracting hits. His celebrity status has since faded since Ah Beng Chan, wannabe Emperor of Lanfang Republic, er I mean wannabe PM of Singapore Republic, has made into the political scene.

>Chan Chun Sing the most hated PAP candidate?

Posted by Barrie on April 21, 2011

>Don’t you feel that this Ah Beng soldier is the most hated PAP candidate. Just look around the cyberworld of discussion and you can see how famous he is. So famous that even search engines now suggest “Chan Chun Sing” when you simply key “Chan” followed by [space].

In this blog alone, visitors have been flocking to read about the Ah Beng Chan. I have tagged only 3 posts “Chan Chun Sing” (before I made this post) and yet, within a span of less than one week, the largest number of hits I get from search engines is from the results of “Chan Chun Sing” or its variants.

Below is a screenshot from Google Analytics showing the number of referral visits, via keyword search, who have been directed to this site. Note “Chan Chun Sing” is at the top, and its variants together with “Chan Chun Sing” itself, make up 4 out of the top 10. (The result is based on the last 7 days.)

The next screenshot tells us the entry page where visitors “land” on this site. This data is based on the last 500 visits. Again, lookie who is at the top.

Yeah, even my own homepage is beaten by this Ah Beng guy! What the heck!

Here’s a partial screenshot of the last 500 search results that led visitors to my site. Partial because my computer screen could not capture everything. Again, note Ah Beng’s name and his variants. Maybe I should rename my blog “Where Bengs Roam Free”.

Finally, all this data won’t make sense, if you don’t know the overall stats of my blog. To let readers have a feel what is the size of Ah Beng’s “capture”, here’s a screenshot to show the average daily unique visitors and pageviews for the last one month. The screenshot was taken on 21 Apr 2001 @ 10:05 am SGT. The day starts at midnight.

Final Conclusion -

Can we say that “Chan Chun Sing” is the most sought after PAP candidate for news in the cyberworld? Is it because he is well liked or well hated?

Let’s just say that he is popularly unpopular.

Hope that would make both fans and haters of Ah Beng Chan Chun Sing happy.


“We can nok affork to be complasent. If we are, all our chulren will suffer. There are two hundret over million Indonay-shens outside there who will wan to take over your homes. So we must all be united and not cut our defence bar-jert!” – Ah Beng Chan Chun Sing giving a lecture to all his new recruits at Tanjong Pagar.

>Chan Chun Seng goes to Indonesia, learns nothing, resolves nothing

Posted by Barrie on April 18, 2011

>Introducing the big cock talker, Chan Chun Sing

Indonesia is a huge country. If we make enemies out of them, we are dead meat. But if we make them our allies, nobody would dare touch us.

Chan Chun Sing was tasked to understand Indonesia better when he was posted to Jarkata some years back. Did he learn much? Did he return from Indonesia with pearls of wisdom on how to strike a chord with the big giant? Or did he screw us up and simply wasted our tax money, making us pay for his holiday there?

Chun Sing sings same old song -

Chan Chun Sing is proud enough to arrogantly claim he knows much about Indonesia and Indonesians. Even to the point that he tells everyone not to pigeon hole them, without realizing he pigeon holes them himself.

Chun Sing said that we must be mindful of Indonesia’s birth rate and population size. The subtle hint is that they are HUGE and we are puny and tiny. So better be on our toes and not take our peace for granted, because presumably, one day, all the 200 over million Indonesians may set foot here and sink our island into the sea.

On one hand, he reminds us that Indonesia is made up of 200+ million people. Yes, from the Western part of Sumatra, Aceh, to the East of Java, where Papua NG borders Irian Jaya. Not to mention Kalimantan and Sulewesi in the North East of Jakarta – and the countless of islands spread all over the place engulfing tiny Singapore.

On another hand, he claims to be able to know the psyche and mindset of this large population, spread over a large area, to tell us to be wary of them – when he had only been in Jakarta for two short years, isolated from the rural folk in the far out provinces.

As the saying goes, army is always about talking cock. Hasn’t he pigeon holed all 200+ million Indonesians himself, when he claims we must be wary of them, simply because he had lived in Jakarta?

Doesn’t smart *ss kid Chun Sing know that the majority of Indonesians in the far out places outside Jakarta don’t even know that there is such a place called Singapore? What talking he that the 200+ million have an eye on Singapore?

So did this army boy learn anything from his stint in Jakarta? I don’t this so. He simply parrots what LKY and GCT had said decades ago. What a waste of time and tax resource, sending this kid over there!

Singapore’s Indonesia-phobia is as old as Singapore itself -

The “let’s be afraid of Indonesia” idea is not new. It is in fact as old as Singapore itself. LKY gives the idea that Indonesia is hostile to us, using the Confrontation Period which was around the early sixties. But that issue was between Indonesia and Malaysia. LKY dishonestly took opportunity to portray this dispute as Indonesia’s attempt to usurp Singapore.

Decades after the Confrontation Period was over, Singapore still uses this “let’s be afraid of Indonesia” plot to create fear and tension among Singaporeans. I recall in the early 1990s, when GCT was PM, in his speech during closed door sessions, the Indonesia theme was again played up.

What was mentioned was very similar to Army Boy Chan’s talk. Indonesia’s physical geographical size. Its massive population. Its birth rate. And yes, tiny Singapore is right in the middle of all this.

It can be seen that Chan Chun Sing hasn’t told us anything new. He was just repeating a forty year old grandmother hen story, started by LKY and continued by GCT! Perhaps he is being trained to be the next PM.

Real issues we have with Indonesia that should be addressed -

Creating an environment of fear and tension is not a good way to live. It is like creating tension with your neighbours and having to see their sour faces each morning. Singapore’s govt has been doing that the last more than forty years.

So what are the main issues that we should seek to address with Indonesia? Many Singaporeans do not know. But the truth is that it is Indonesia who has the right to be upset with us, rather than the other way.

Issue #1 – Singapore is habouring Indonesian criminals and their ill-gotten funds

This is the biggest sore point Indonesia has with Singapore. Singapore prides itself as having an “uncorrupted” govt. I put that in quotes because the irony is that while our govt does not accept bribes, it is complicit in helping others do so. See this article I wrote – Singapore Complicit in Laundering Ill-gotten Funds

Note that while PAPpy not only has prided itself that Singapore is uncorrupted, it also alleges that our neighbours are corrupt. Yet, when our neighbour (Indonesia) makes an effort to bring the corrupted parties to justice, it is Singapore (courtesy of PAPy of course), that blocks that! That’s because if Singapore assists Indonesia, all that ill-gotten funds (could it be in the sum of billions?), will flow out of Singapore. What hypocrisy!

RI, S’pore extradition deal unclear after leaders meet

Although the plan had been for the agenda to discuss all pressing bilateral issues, an anticipated agreement on extradition sought by Jakarta to bring home corrupt fugitives seeking asylum in Singapore was left out of the talks, Antara news agency reported.

Such an agreement could bring home billions of US dollars lost to graft when Indonesian corruption fugitives fled to Singapore after the 1997 regional financial meltdown.

…..The extradition agreement has become a priority for Jakarta because Singapore has been used as a safe haven for Indonesian corrupt fugitives to escape to with their illegal assets.

…..Some sources say that Singapore would only agree to a reciprocal agreement on extradition that excluded cases from the time of the 1998 financial crisis because it involved a huge amount of money and extracting it all could upset financial markets in Singapore.

My god! That ill-gotten money rightfully belongs to Indonesia. Who the heck is Singapore to keep it, depriving the rightful owners?

A glaring point in this case is that Singapore always claims that its neighbours are corrupted and that our govt is sparkling white and clean.

But now, we have Indonesia who wants to clean up their act, by punishing these corrupted crooks who siphoned billions of reserves. Indonesia wants these crooks extradited and the ill-gotten funds returned.

Isn’t it ironical that it is Singapore who is complicit in money laundering and harbouring these corrupted criminals, stubbornly refusing to extradite them and even using our banks as a safe haven for their ill-gotten funds?

Because of this very sore point Indonesia has with Singapore, our relations are strained.

Be reminded that the sand ban was effected immediately when negotiations between Singapore and Indonesia to have these criminals extradited collapsed.

Be reminded that Indonesia pre-empted Selamat Kastari’s re-entry into Indonesia, right after his escape by telling Singapore that if Selamat was caught in Indonesia, they won’t return him to us. And that’s because we don’t have an extradition treaty, no thanks to our refusal to sign one, in order to protect the crooks who put their ill-gotten funds in Singapore banks.

Be reminded that because of the sand ban, the cost of construction in Singapore (including your housing) shot up astronomically.

Be reminded that because we don’t want to extradite the crooks, Indonesia is now less than helpful in aiding us in our anti-terror campaign. Our security has now been compromised.

Be reminded that when the likes of Chan Chun Sing tries to scare us about Indonesia as the big bad wolf, it is Indonesia who has every right to be upset with us instead.

So all these mishandling of foreign relations on the part of Singapore, is affecting our domestic life as well.

The big question here is, what did Chan Chun Sing do during his tenure in Jakarta, to improve the ties between the two countries?

Answer is nothing. He did NOTHING.

Issue #2 – Singapore’s dallying of return of airspace to Indonesia

A smaller issue, but nevertheless a thorny one, is that Singapore has yet to return an airspace, again rightfully belonging to Indonesia.

S’pore yet to return RI airspace control

The Singaporean government seems unwilling to return control over Indonesia’s airspace in the Riau Islands province, for economic and strategic reasons, a Batam airport official says.

Based on the 2009 Flight Law, Indonesia’s airspace over Riau Islands should be returned to Indonesia, Tevi Amir, the chief air traffic controller at Batam’s Hang Nadim Airport, said Tuesday.

The airspace over the province had been under Singaporean control for around 10 years because of the limited capacity of Indonesia’s radar systems, but this issue was no longer relevant, Tevi said.

Indonesia is not stupid. They have witnessed how Singapore’s long period of control over someone else’s territory would eventually be Singapore’s territory. Like the Pedra Branca case.

Jakarta may seem to be able to delay this handover issue, but the Riau Province does not. Singapore deals with the capital and any smaller govt authority of Indonesia can be swept aside – for now, at least.

However, if political tensions were to rise between Indonesia and us, I am sure this would be one explosive issue on our hands.

Again, my question is, what has army boy Chan Chun Sing done to alert the Singapore govt about the sentiments of the Riau Province?

Answer is once again, NOTHING.

Chan Chun Sing’s appraisal result -

So folks, how do you appraise Chun Sing? Did he do a good job? Did he do what he was supposed to do, that is, help improve ties between Indonesia and us, as well as giving feedback on the psyche of Indonesians, so that we can understand them better?

IMO, Chun Sing is way, way off the mark. Instead of learning what makes Indonesians tick, so that we understand them better, be it for economic or military purposes, he simply repeats what LKY and GCT did.

Yes, that Indonesia is a big, big country, with a big, big population, with a big, big appetite to usurp tiny, tiny Singapore!

I’ll give him – F for a big fat FAIL

He failed to learn anything or resolve anything, in spite of his tenure of two years in Indonesia. Instead, he just propagates the same stale story that the big bad wolf is out to get us!

My Conclusion -

I can live with spoiled brat Tin Pei Ling. She does no harm, other than spending $15k of our hard earned tax money on Kate Spade products.

I am setting aside my judgement on Foo Mee Har for now, though the longer she is silent, the greater will be the suspicion surroudning her husband’s bankruptcy case.

But for Chan Chun Sing, I feel he is a dangerous man. A very, very dangerous man. Chun Sing may be our PM one day. He will propagate more fear and suspicion about Indonesia. This will result in more strained relations.

As it is, Indonesia is already upset with the non-extradition of criminals and our harbouring of ill-gotten funds, which rightfully belongs to them.

Any further provocation by Singapore, from the likes of army boy Chan Chun Sing, will fan the flames of tension more.

We cannot afford to have Chun Sing as part of our govt. If there is any single PAP candidate that I want to see lose the elections, it is none other than Army Boy Chan Chun Sing.

>Army boy Chan Chun Sing talking cock

Posted by Barrie on April 16, 2011

>In my last post, Arrogance of Chan Chun Sing, I highlighted Chun Sing’s cockiness when he belittled feedback on the need to slash the oversized mammoth defence budget.

In this post, I will discuss how this army boy is not able to see outside his army training. He has been boxed in by the very group think of the SAF, such that even he’s now in civvy life, he still thinks like a brainwashed, programmed soldier.

Overseas experience made him sensitive (Q&A Pt5)
http://image.razor.tv/site/flashplayer/razortv2.swf

Q: How was your experience working in Jakarta allowed you to understand the Malay Muslim community better?

Chun Sing starts off by saying we should not assume things. Indonesians and Malays are different. Indonesia is a very diverse country with many ethnic cultures. We should not pigeon hole them and put all Indonesians into one group.

Wah, very impressive. At least he now talks like how an officer should talk.

However, that’s about it. His intellectual ability to apply what he has learnt takes a sudden reversal with the closing statement he makes.

In his closing statement, he reminds everyone of the scary, (shiver, shiver….) fact that Indonesia is reproducing at an astronomical rate. A rate of one Singapore (population size) per year. He then makes a subtle (and sly) implication that these Indonesians (ya, the very population he told us not to pigeon hole) is in unison in idea, to usurp Singapore.

Wah piang eh! Got this type of officer ah? First he say don’t pigeon hole them then later he pigeon hole them. What cock he talk ah?

My Comments

It is a known fact that Old Man Lee’s tactic is the race card game, where he scares you into believing that the Malay Bogeyman from the North and South is out to getcha! Hence, the SAF is also taught to believe that you must be wary of that Malay Bogeyman from the North and South.

Isn’t Chun Sing trapped in this SAF mindset that Indonesians are out to get us? Just right after he said that we are not to pigeon hole them? Helloooo?

Here is what I wrote about the “Malayphobia” created by LKY (and perpetuated by the SAF).
Dumping the fallacies LKY created

Fallacy #5 – The Great (Malay) Bogeyman from the North and South is out to get us! -

I leave this to the last because this fallacy is one that has been played the longest. This myth has been played since the 1960s till today. That’s a good long half a century! (Hey, Old Man, move with the times!)

LKY and his PAPpy leaders have always said that our neighbours are out to attack us. They cite the tension during the Confrontation Period. But that issue was one Malay country (Indonesia) against another Malay country (Malaysia).

Indonesia was not too happy that Malaysia merged and assimilated Sabah and Sarawak. They saw it as Malaysia’s expansionist plan, right at the doorstep of Indonesia’s Kalimantan border. Singapore was targeted only because we were also part of Malaysia then.

However, LKY, the racist who always plays the race card, turned that Malay-Malay dispute into “a sea of Malays out to get us” scenario. With a magician’s sleight hand, he deceives Singaporeans into believing that the Bogeyman out there is trying to eat us.

In our history, Singapore was an adversary of Indonesia only once. That was during the Confrontation Period, when we were under the Malaysian Federation.

The issue was between one Muslim majority country (Indonesia) against another Muslim majority country (Malaysia). Singapore, being part of Malaysia then, was of course one of Indonesia’s target.

However, LKY, being a racist, dishonestly portrays (till this day) that the issue was about a Muslim nation with a population of nearly 200 million then, who were about to usurp tiny, poor Singapore.

This dishonest portrayal of the Muslims in the South wishing to see Singapore’s demise, is nothing short of mischief, with the hope of creating a feeling of tension and fear, so that you will support PAP’s mad over-expenditure of the defence budget.

Let’s face it. If Indonesia (and Malaysia) wish Singapore harm, all it needs to do is to clam up their airspace and/or seaspace. Every vessel that flies in or out, as well as sails in or out of Singapore, somehow has to cross their airspace or seapace.

All Indonesia (and Malaysia) have to do is to put up a high tax or an admin procedure to make it cumbersome for us – in the pretext of security and fighting the “war on terror”.

The fact that they have been generous and hospitable to us with their air and sea space, shows their goodwill and non-hostile intention.

It is the screwed up generals of the SAF, as well as LKY himself, who are filled up to their noses with Malayphobia, that is the problem.

I don’t bother about having to live among 200+ million Indonesians around us. Many Singaporeans don’t bother either.

But LKY and his generals do. They created a shadow of fear for themselves, and they are now living in that shadow of fear. Chun Sing, the army boy, cannot shake off his programmed SAF brain that tells him the Malay Bogeyman is out to get him, when he sleeps with his teddy bear in bed at night.

Finally, take note that Chan Chun Sing is talking cock big time like an experienced politician already. Right after he tells everyone not to pigeon hole Indonesians, he does it himself – all within a space of less than five minutes! Don’t all true politicians contradict their own words that the majority of the public misses?


“You must never be in a senang diri position, let alone rehatkan diri. You must always stand sedia, because there are 200 over million hostile savages out to take your homes. Also remember, I was working with the 200 over million people there. So I know them. Don’t ever pigeon hole them. But be careful of them because all of them want to take your homes. Remember, don’t pigeone hole them, OK?”

- Cock Talker Major Gaffe-error Chan Chun Sing contradicting himself.

>Arrogance of Chan Chun Sing

Posted by Barrie on April 15, 2011

>Among the new PAP candidates so far, I find Chan Chun Sing the most arrogant. He thinks he knows it all, and you can even sense that arrogance in his body language and facial expression when he speaks.

http://image.razor.tv/site/flashplayer/razortv2.swf

Question: How will you respond to issues that the opposition may bring up like foreign talent, transport fares and slashing the defence budget?

Start from the 3:55 min mark where Chan Chun Seng talks about the slashing of the budget defence. Note his tone, his facial expression, head movement. Doesn’t he give you that “I know better than you peasants” sarcastic look?

Chun Sing says that it is always sexy to say that we do not need to take care of our defence.

I give Chun Sing an F rating for listening skills. Never mind that he used bizarre term “sexy”. I can ignore that weird term. But who ever said that we do not need to take care of defence? The question is about SLASHING the budget which is a monster and it is up eating our resources. Not about no need to take take care of our defence.

Note that after he made his sexy remark, it is all about the normal scare tactics how Singapore is so small and that we are vulnerable. Again, nothing said that justifies the over budget.

In the meantime, note his body language in every detail. Yes, including that swaying of the body and head, as well as the subtle smirk on his face. All of them suggesting that he feels he has the right to belittle the feedback that there indeed is an over budget on defence.

I can argue that two other nations besides Singapore also have a mammoth defence budget that eats into resources. US and Israel. Have they attained peace? In fact, have they attained security?

Here is a post I put up, showing how even big spender Israel, blowing their defence budget, is unable to defeat Palestinian guerrillas and even lost the war to small budget spending Hezbollah. Fallacy of the Mean Israeli Defence Force – Part 2

Here is a post I put up, showing how over-spender US, cannot win wars because their million dollar tanks are rendered useless by US$10 home made IED bombs. Afghanistan – Vietnam Replayed

Spending big does not bring you peace, let alone win wars. Let’s also not forget that besides small spenders like Hezbollah in Lebanon, Sadr’s militants in Iraq, Taliban in Afghanistan, who are able to either defeat bigger enemies or at least hold them off, we also had the small spending Vietcongs who defeated big spending US.

Here is another link showing US, the big spender, is totally incompetent (to the point of being comical if not for the fact many lives were lost) to fight wars. US Armed Forces – the most incompetent military in the world

Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that we don’t take care of our defence, an erroneous sweeping assumption Chun Sing sexily made against those who call for defence budget cuts.

I am saying that if arrogant Chan Chun Sing can ask which country the size of Singapore in the history of SE Asia the last 500 years, has survived more than 100 years, I can ask which country in the world in the last 500 years, after overspending their defence budget, has attained peace?

Chun Sing’s scare tactics is just an extension of LKY’s scare tactics. The difference is that LKY presented it from a political perspective. Chun Sing presented it from the military perspective.

Either way, neither LKY nor Chun Sing ever justified the overspending of the defence budget.

Chun Sing may be just half Old Man’s age. But he has the same amount of air of arrogance as LKY.
