Chan CS & Tan CJ will be 1 round later... Maybe next round both be DPM. If no little commando parachuted in.
Lawrence & Sim Ann dont look anywhere close for now.

Tharman and Teo CH is Pinky's generation.....my view is both got no chance to be PM....and will be "thank you for your long service"

Chan CS's profile in his Military Career is indeed impressive, and he was awarded a President's Scholarship and SAF Overseas Scholarship to study in the University of Cambridge.....all the investment $$$ planted into him is for a reason.

I mean Tan CJ, Lawrence Wong and Sim Ann is same generation with Chan CS, sorry never state clearly.

theoretically good, intellectually no good, interaction no good also.....like what you said too quiet.......but he is a important figure for the next generation too.

he can be like Tharman, be the Finance Minister, support the PM.

If LHL retires after next GE, Tharman has a good chance... his brief bio:
- currently 57yrs old
- DPM, Finance Minister, Chairman of MAS
- IMF committee

If Tharman is only considered for PM after 1 more term by LHL, he will likely be 64yrs old, indeed considered too old to serve out 2 terms given the current top office holder's younger age globally. Thus, his only chance at PM post is, if LHL retires after this term (seems unlikely). Tharman is by far, the only PAP minister I respect.

Possibly, he'll be a future candidate for President than... so far, this is the only guy I will spend time listening to, as he is composed when he speaks, and very easy to understand as he speaks with a good ascent and not a snob like Vivian Bala, nor a ear sore like some chinese ascent speaker.

15 year later if change party. Wonder who would be our pm and ministers. Mr low might be too old. May be Ms lim !! Wonder who would be her cabinet ?

[hkh]

Wonder will Ho Ching forms her own party just like Hillary Clinton ??

[mel2sg]

Personally i think Tan Chuan Jin got more style, respect & aura of future PM. That CCS looks too boyish.

[stargazer]

I think Tharman is smart, articulate and holds his words well.

I thought i see an article that LKY wanted tony tan to be PM, but fate do not arrange it that way.
