Labour chief and minister without portfolio, Lim Swee Say, has announced that he is interested to continue running as a candidate in the East Coast GRC.
He said that he has enjoyed serving the residents there in the Bedok ward and said that he has plans for the ageing constituency there.
Funnily enough, this goes against his previous comments saying that 2011 would be his last election.
Back in 2007, he had suggested that if he still had to contest in 2016 to fill the positions of NTUC secretary General and PMO Minister, it would mean that the PAP's efforts to attract the 'best team' must be struggling.
Is Lim Swee Say implying that the PAP is not able to attract the best team anymore to fill the ministerial positions? What does that say about the calibre of the current ministers?
Or is it simply because he is enjoying his current salary too much to want to allow GE2011 to be his last?
