Fourth generation leaders

I am disappointed to read that the Prime Minister is searching for a fourth generation team to lead Singapore into the future. Surely the people of Singapore should have a say in this matter?

I think that it is better for a team to be honestly tested in the real life situation and be accepted by the people, rather than to be selected by the current leaders.

The system adopted in many democratic countries offer a better choice of leaders, and a better bond between the leaders and the people.

On a positive note, I am encouraged by the statements of the Prime Minister addressing the concern of the people about the high cost of HDB flats and the high cost of living. I hope that this will be followed some change of policy in these two important aspects of our life.
