Yes, it's not meant to a surprise.

 

Singapore prides itself on predictability. Predictability generally implies stability. Predictability is especially important when it comes to power shifts at the highest level.

 

The problem is not so much that they're predictable. The problem is that, in recent history, they've become so predictably *mediocre*.

Only Country in the World got 3 "Senior Minister Mentor".    

[Yewheng]

Thaman will continue to advise on economic policies to PM. So we are still in safe hands.. Only scared once thaman is out, then we will have to worry.

[Blueray]

Heng is still a MIW and will have to tow the party line and take care of party's interests.

 

Don't expect too much from him.
