I am keeping this post behind the paywall, as I do not want to be seen criticising some of Singapore's institutions in public. Even though I rarely restrict myself in my commentary, I do think some things are best left outside broad circulation.
At the same time, however, I want to be able to voice them and I believe my paid members are here to access this sort of commentary. So, here we are.
In Singapore, populism works only up to a point.
Given the unique circumstances, it could very well be an election that shakes up local politics more than it usually would – and both sides can win and lose big.
While others are losing sleep over Trump, Singapore's government gets its well-deserved rest.
It's ironic Singapore's weakest man was born out of the strongest.
