Hi Gopalan,
I live in the East Malaysian state of Sabah,a
physician by profession. I stumbled upon your blogsite and was
pleasantly shocked to read the article on Lee Hsien Loong's search for
a successor.
Pleasantly becasue I haven't come accross a more correct assesment of the situation in Singapore.
Are you by any chance related to the late Devan Nair ?
My wife is currently doing a fellowship at one of the hospitals in Spore.
She tells me that society in Singapore lacks
that humane touch that we find in Malaysia. It is regimented and money
becomes the sole focus of life for Singaporeans.
Don't rule out
the possibilty of political change in Singapore. It is inevitable though
it will be diffcult to predict when.
Just look at the shocker the Malaysian elections served up last month. I am sure the PAP will be worried that the winds of change will blow down south.
Anyhow your
comments were refreshing, spot on, and gives a fairly accurate
assesment of the situation in Singapore. I am sure you don't regret
leaving Singapore.
Warm regards,
Peter.
I am not related to the late President Devan Nair. Nair is a common surname in Kerala India where my parents were from.
Thanks
Gopalan Nair

2. no offence meant, but why are you so willing to be gopalan's mouth piece in this forum?
3. interestingly, your initials spell out our almighty governing political party. by design, i suppose.

Although I propagate his propaganda, I only agree with 50% of what he says.
