Singapore Election Watch has a post from Yawning Bread arguing that Singapore should not have a “Senior Minister.” The post was created for retired long-time PM Lee Kuan Yew and then occupied by another former PM, Goh Chok Tong, when he retired (Lee became “Minister Mentor”). Yawning Bread points out that such sinecures for (supposedly) retired leaders ensures that decisions of former administrations don't get reversed – “the privileging of continuity over change.”
