Hub_n_mona 1st Gear April 21, 2011 Share April 21, 2011 one of PAP press conferences Please see the new candidate speaking from 4 minutes onwards. I thought this sort of talking down only happens during in-camp.. however, seems like he will be a future star..perhaps has the brains ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one of many. am watching some of the other clips..the MG needs to revamp the way he speaks..can't imagine him talking to foreign dignitaries like that or unless that kind of mannerism is reserved for the electorate only Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shull Turbocharged April 21, 2011 Share April 21, 2011 Actually, i do agree that defence budget shouldn't be decreased. In fact, we should keep our army, especially weaponry as updated as possible. Our huge reserves will undoubtedly attract some unwanted attention. If there are any wars with our neighbouring countries, we are jolly well in range of artillery from batam and johor. What should go down, is the ministerial pay. Now THAT is unneeded spending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks at his face, body language.... smack of arrogance. Have a "I know it all" look. And what's with all the chinese idioms? The reporter is an indian... so why throw back chinese idioms at him?

Anyway, i dunno why they like to take ex-generals as candidates. For one, military leaders are used to have MEN serving under them. Now, you want them to listen and serve their constituency. It's totally two different things leh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic April 21, 2011 Share April 21, 2011 (edited) He actually looks pretty humble when he is in his civilian clothes. But somehow when he's wearing white on white, the arrogance shows. Maybe it's just me or is it the 'magic' of the white on white? I do not understand why they have to pluck generals from the army and put as MPs. They go thru' all the military schools (Royal Military Academy Sandhurst), etc then now ask them to listen to residents complaining abt this and and that. There's no job fit at all.
