    My ICT CO, a Lieutenant Colonel at the time, was a gold hearted gentleman, always did his best for his men, it was obvious for all to see, all of us felt and benefitted from his sincere work, and we repaid him with our cooperation and hard work, that is man management, it works both ways, what you give your men is what you get. This kind of thing very straightforward one, if you were good, people will have good things to say about you, if you were unreasonable and treated your men badly, you will have people saying ill things about you when they have the opportunity to speak up, as we can see in this case, soldiers don't lie, your military reputation will speak for itself, it is when you wear green, your truest colours are revealed for all to see.

    Doesn't sound like A moment though. From the posts, it seems like MANY soldiers were unhappy with him. If it was only for A moment I doubt so many will soldiers buay song him. Masagos, you need to check your use of quantifiers.
    Totally opposite from my own commander. He study until University but damn humble guy. Our men are all willing to chiong for him because he is a good leader. Very few will chao keng because we wana give our commander face.
    This guy study till O level nia wana act what elitist?

    He throughout Army playing with people’s son lives how is that not a red flag? What’s next criminal or a drug addict that turn over a new leaf can enter PAP since it is a moment’s folly and can redeem himself through entering politics? His speech is everything about him and his life story how fortunate he is and that body language tells alot. Clearly not the type of candidate you should want.

    I don't think it is wise to allow candidates to prove themselves in these elections. If we give the guy a chance IF those rumours proved to be true, we will have a guy who doesn't care about his peers to represent us. What I learnt from school is that grassroot community helps people that needs help. If this guy doesn't even help his friends, how is he going to help those in need?

    Elitism is the core trait of the men in white. That’s why it’s tolerated, behind closed doors it might even be celebrated. Sometimes, we get the odd, unintentional outburst of, “get out of my elite, uncaring face”. But such is life here in SG.... the politicians have such a good time on top for over 50 years, they forgot....

    I hope Mr Masagos Zulkifli can remember what did Mr Tharman mentioned about what happened in Bukit Batok By election back in 2016. I quote "character of candidates is at the heart of politics”. Voters look at a politician’s actions over time, judge his motivations and integrity, and decide whether they can trust him. If Singaporeans ever come to ignore the track record and integrity of politicians, in the PAP or any other parties, it is Singapore that will end up in the gutter."
    This is what Mr Tharman commented, when somebody asked him about the character assassination to Dr Chee Soon Juan and gutter politics during the by Bukit Batok by election during 2016. I don't see PAP giving Dr Chee a chance to redeemed himself....

    Given the fact that there are a lot of people standing up to flag him out for his crappy attitude towards his colleagues and fellow comrades in the army, the party should just pull him out of this election and replace him with a better candidate. A leader should always have a sincere and humble heart to serve fellow Singaporeans.

  • @alvin67788

    This shows character of Masagos
    , defended Ivan at first instinct. As a person who been through NS , I will definitely believe in those reviews against Ivan, with even a RSM among the critics. Masagos, fought hard on 30% increase in water bills but didn't reveal full calculation on deriving the 30% figure. If not wrong, reason is 'best way to emphasise the scarcity value of water'.. He has secured himself a secure salary package in pap with the 30% increase.
    Many people forgotten Dr Tan Cheng Bock is the one who fought for free Sunday and holiday parking. It's hard to find a MP who fought for the people,
    foregoing millions of revenues.

      He wouldn’t care anyway, every year getting fat bonuses and pay! For us, when would we get a 30% increase in our salary lol. These 30 increase would not affect hum but to common ppl, it’s another burden. Hope he do self reflection but I guess not! Their eyes are up above 😂

    I still remember when i attended an event where many MPs were around. I will never forget the way they look at the rest of the public members, full of despise and contempt, could sense no cordial feelings at all. Even so when you approached them. That feeling was so uncomfortable that it has stuck with me till today. Aside from whether they are capable in their work or not, i believe such attitude already puts one off. It's as if humility is a withering decay that could never withstand the test of time.

      "In reality, humility is a type of modesty that will get you very far in your life as a person, a contender, and a leader. Let’s look at it another way. A person who lacks humility is arrogant. It is a person who only thinks of themselves and sees themselves as higher and better than others. There is no room for an arrogant person to improve themselves because they do not recognize their flaws. A person who is not humble does not have a growth mindset."
