Now that both MM Lee and SM Goh had announced that they would step down from the Cabinet, what should they do? I believe the answer is best contained in my article posting on 15 Dec 2010, "Election Watch Part II - Concepts About Aging - Nanjing YY Li vs Singapore MM Lee".
Abstract
MM Lee at the old age of 87, said this during a recent constituency event; “If I'm fit, I'm prepared to stand. But whether I stand or not, that's up to the Prime Minister”. Asked if he was feeling up to it, Mr Lee chuckled and would only say: 'It's for you to judge.' [ Source : Straits Times, 14 Nov 2010 ]
SM Goh announced that the Government is carrying out a 5-year study in Marine Parade to assess the implications and needs of an ageing community. He said the elderly are a special group, and Singapore need more young people to engage older Singaporeans to help them grow old graciously ….. but “in a cost effective way”.

As I asked in my posting on 1 May 2011, "Election Watch Part XIII - Five Years to Ruminate and To Regret or A Climate of Fear for PAP to face Aljunied GRC voters",
"will a fall of Aljunied GRC to the WP be "the last leaf falling" for MM Lee?"
