what i like is that which the first writer says about increasing voter numbers in potong pasir because it has only about 15000 voters - less than the 18000 minimum for most SMCs. everyone knows the government wouldn't try to touch potong pasir because they're bound to be accused of trying to force chiam see tong out, but that, the writer concludes, is also unfair - that the government must do what must be done without fear or favour.

which chinese politcal advisor was it - i can't remember his name - who when asked to recommend someone for a post, recommended his own son. but surely people will talk! said the prince. you asked me who the best man for the job was, not whether he were my son, was the reply. later on, another post fell vacant, and asked for advice, he recommended a man with whom he never got along. but that man is your enemy! the prince said. you asked me who the best man was for the job, not whether he was my enemy.
