Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Suppiah Dhanabalan (born August 8, 1937) was a high-profile political leader in Singapore in the 1980s. He was appointed to several heavyweight cabinet positions in the 1980s and early 1990s under Prime Ministers Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Chok Tong. When then Prime Minister Lee was preparing for his successor, he identified a handful of Ministers he considered suitable for the job, including Tony Tan, Ong Teng Cheong, Goh Chok Tong and S Dhanabalan. In his public account of why he chose them and what he felt were their strengths and weaknesses, Lee said his preferred successor was Tony Tan. He felt that while the other three were all of Prime Ministerial material, each had a particular weakness: Goh was too stiff, lacking eloquence in public speaking, and Ong was too closely aligned with the Chinese-speaking masses, lacking appeal to other communities. In thecase of Dhanabalan, Lee felt the 76% ethnic Chinese electorate was not yet ready for an Indian Prime Minister. Lee left the ultimate decision to the second generation ministers themselves, who went on to choose Goh.
