"Singapore's political breakthrough"
"The opposition's elections Great Leap Forward"
The Worker's Party, Low Thia Kiang and Chen Show Mao were featured prominently in the article, the focus being the political tsunami that was the fall of Aljunied GRC to the WP and subsequent retirement of George Yeo. Praise given to LTK for his "mission impossible" gamble to leave Hougang to contest Aljunied.

It's interesting that it's Chen and not Low on the front page, given that Low is the one who engineered it all. Everyone seems to be mesmerised by Chen's paper qualifications.
@Ponder: Considering that Asia Weekly is a pro-China publication, with Chen being based in Beijing and having engineered the IPO of one of China's largest banks, I think they would quite naturally consider Chen to be "one of them".
It is not just paper - impressive academic and commercial CV - articulate soft spoken and appears very humble -close to an ideal "Singaporean"
This is fantastic...there is a Chinese saying " if the old does not go away, the new will not come". We don't need old Lee to be on the front cover all the time, now we have young and talented individuals to represent Singapore. This is truly encourageable.
One of the reasons why I like visiting your blog so much is because it has become a daily reference I can use in order to learn new nice stuff. It's like a curiosities box that surprises you over and over again.
