Please spare us this shananigan that the PAP MPs are going to select the next Prime Minister.
I see that the PAP are now planning a shenanigan for Mr. Lee Hsien Loong's succession as Prime Minister after I asked Mr. Goh Chok Tong to clarify his remarks to CNN. Until Goh was questioned about the succession in the CNN interview, Singaporeans had been told in no uncertain terms that Mr. Lee Hsien Loong would be the next Prime Minister. It had all been arranged. Goh was going to step down before the next elections and Lee Hsien Loong would take over. Now, after I questioned Goh, we are told "Oh no, PAP MPs are going to select the next Prime Minister".
It is just another show that the PAP are so good at putting up to hide the truth.
We do not need any more shows about Lee Hsien Loong becoming the Prime Minister.
Goh told CNN that Singaporeans had to accept "that the Lees are controlling Singapore." So Singaporeans have to accept that the Lee family decides who is to be the next Prime Minister.
Please spare us this shananigan that the PAP MPs are going to select the next Prime Minister.
