MM Lee and SM Goh to leave

Some people would be rejoicing reading the headline.

But they have come out to say they are leaving the cabinet, not retiring from politics.

On the surface, it makes little difference whatsoever.
Their roles in the cabinet were created specially for them without any clear idea of the areas of responsbility.
Still, this would save taxpayers a few million dollars each year.

From SM Goh's perspective, it would give him alot more time to reverse the shocking decline in support in Marine Parade GRC and also ensure that TPL doesn't make the team look sillier than it already is.

From MM Lee's perspective, it may help shed the party's hard-handed image that we've come to be so familiar with. In any case, time is not on his side.
