We all know about the loquacity of PM Lawence Wong because since taking office he had been ranting with his melliferous speeches to the point of mortification. He is well known for his big mouth to the discerning Singaporeans. So the Commonwealth Head of Government Meeting (CHOGM) is a golden opportunity for PM Lawrence Wong to flex his muscles to overwhelm the Commonwealth Heads of Government with his oratorial antics to mesmerize them with his imaginary philosophy to enhance world politics. It first captured the imagination of the Commonwealth leaders but gradually kindled in their mind it was really a novelty of deja vu.as it could pass off as a dynamic divination. For instance he praised them for their competence in tackling the climate change suggesting they take a leaf from Singapore book but not very scientific.
The Commonwealth Leaders Meeting no doubt gave a golden opportunity that he could ever dreamed of to exude his charms on them and it could not be denied that the benefits in rubbing shoulders with the Commonwealth leader were unimaginable. There is no doubt in the mind of Singaporeans that he easily eclipsed the diffident SM Lee Hsien Loong in his competency as prime minister.They are like brothers outwardly but csnnot escape some concealed animosity inside them with PM Lawrence Wong waiting for the day when he will terminate the fraternity. In the meantime he finds it amusing to tolerate the discomfort of SM Lee Hsien Loong.
PM Lawrence Wong is expected to return to Singapore to an ecstatic welcome. Then what? Freshly imbued with a invincibility he cannot remain inanimated and will continue to manipulate the mind of gullible Singaporeans with his oratorial antics.This is his immutable style which has served him well and will unlikely see any changes in the near future.
The question of whether or not to demolish 38 Oxley Road in compliance with Lee Kuan Yew’s will is cracking his mind and may defermaing deciiion for a long time.because a wrong decision may bring an avalanche of wrath from the public who appear to favour demolition.
He made quite a slew of promises in his cavalier way and may prove a headache for PM Lawrence Wong to fulfill them.
