Non-PAP cabinet

I thought of doing something avant-garde and decided to write this post about how a cabinet without any PAP member would look like (in the event that all PAP candidates lose).

It definitely does not look "freaky" although PAP ministers claim that it will be a freak result should opposition parties win.

Prime Minister: Chee Soon Juan (SDP)


Ok, I know what you are thinking. This guy has entered and exited the prison more times than I did at the East Coast Park toilet. However, they were all politically-linked.

The PAP ruled Singapore with an iron grip, trying to destroy their political opponents. The stronger they appear to be, the larger the damage was done to them.

Dr Chee is a liberal democrat who will lead the country to new heights while taking care of the needs of the lowest levels of society.

The Lees have done fairly well in terms of the economy and infrastructure. Chee will add to by improving the country socially, politically and democratically.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister: Kenneth Jeyaretnam (RP)


KJ graduated with Double First Class Honours in economics from Cambridge University. He is the man most suited for this post among all the opposition candidates.

It will be a marvellous achievement for him and his father, the late Joshua Benjamin Jeyaretnam, who has been the enemy of PAP for many years.

Senior Minister: Chiam See Tong (SPP)

As the name says it, we need somebody who is ernm, a senior citizen? Mr Chiam has lots of valuable experience as an MP since 1984.

His job would be to assist the younger generation and ensure that nothing too conservative or liberal be implemented. However, it appears to be seen who will succeed him in the near future.

Foreign Affairs Minister: George Yeo (unknown)

Why not him? Yes, he is from PAP but he can always be pulled over to join another party and continue to serve the country as the minister of foreign affairs.

I suggest Mr Yeo to join WP and the latter should sent an invitation to him since they are the ones that beat him in Aljunied GRC.

The only difference is that he may have to take a massive pay cut from his original million-dollar salary.

Defence Minister: Tony Tan (NSP)

Tony is a former SAF scholar who studied Engineering at Cambridge University. A strong, firm and decisive person, he is easily the man for this challenging job.

He also mentioned about reducing national service to twelve months which would be very much welcomed by many citizens.

Trade and Industry Minister: Tan Jee Say (SDP)

An investment adviser who studied at Oxford University. His has years of experience in civil service as well the private sector. Used to be a civil servant in ministry of trade and industry before too.

Health Minister: Ang Yong Guan (SDP)


A psychiatrist leading this ministry would be a brand new change for our healthcare system. The mental state of Singaporeans ought to be improved after decades of brainwashing by the PAP.

Law Minister: Chen Show Mao (WP)

A Rhodes scholar whose education background includes Oxford, Stanford and Harvard. An experienced lawyer who is a partner of well-known law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell.

There are a bunch of lawyers hailing from the opposition camp but Mr Chen everybody else hands down. Hope he can review and reform Singapore's mandatory death penalty.

Home Affairs Minister: Sylvia Lim (WP)


An ex-inspector in the police force, Sylvia should be able to comprehend the structure well. At least, she can ensure that all detention centres are secure to prevent any escapes.

Manpower Minister: Low Thia Kiang (WP)


Mr Low can work closely with Tan Jee Say to increase productivity for Singaporean workers instead of relying on foreigners which is not a sustainable solution.

A minimum wage policy should be implemented for the overall good of the labour force here.

National Development Minister: Goh Meng Seng (NSP)

Mr Goh, an economics graduate, is a good alternative to the ineffective Mah Bow Tan for housing issues. He and his party have proposed some good policies which are able to address the issues citizens face regarding public housing.

Community, Youth and Sports Minister: Vincent Wijeysingha (SDP)

A social activist and a rare breed of politicians who are willing to serve the people wholeheartedly. The low-waged and poor can finally see hope with him holding this post.

Definitely ten times better than the current PAP one who overspends but never apologize.

Actually, there are still a few more ministries which I have not mentioned but there is still ample quality within the opposition to fill the voids, it's just that I think they are still not the finished product to be labelled as a minister.

Vote for the opposition, the time to change has arrived!

Then what about me?

You can be minister of erm, I don't know what to say
