No duds allowed in my Parliament

No, we are not preventing competition. What we are preventing is duds getting into Parliament and government.

Any person of quality, we welcome him but we don't want duds. We don't want Chee Soon Juan, or J.B. Jeyaretnam. They're not going to build the country.

- Lee Kuan Yew, Minister Mentor
(“Hard Truths to Keep Singapore Going, by Straits Times Press, 2011)

Awesome Words

The foundation of the government of a nation must be built upon the rights of the people, but the administration must be entrusted to experts. We must not look upon those experts as stately and grand presidents and ministers, but simply as our chauffeurs, guards at the gate, cooks, physicians, carpenters, or tailors.
