An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

When asked if she considered running, this is what replied

"My paramount consideration is service to Singapore which I am doing by wholeheartedly focusing on my current responsibilities."

"Regardless of our position of service, it is more important to stay focused on the same core mission, which is to do our best for Singapore,"

She graduated as lawyer, began life as a legal officer with NTUC and then MP while progressing thru the NTUC hierarchy. Her response is really very poor. She has been given positions on meeting the invisible quota all her life and she probably has no idea how to earn it.

Looks at what Abdullah Tarmugi said in reply to the same questions. Note the strark difference.

"I'd be lying if I say that friends have not been asking me about it. I suppose that is to be expected. If you look at the people who qualify, it is not that big a pool," he said.

"But when my friends suggest that, I tell them: Hold on, hold on... It is still early days yet. And I've got to think of my own preferences, my life, my family and my privacy. This is not a journey I take myself."
