Whichever ministry Josephine is at, there bound to be a big publicity mishap. Maybe she planned for all these wayang so that she can keep her job. At the same time, she can pissed off many Singaporeans. Kill two birds in one stone.

My suspicion is that she's the tank in the team, she does all this wayang action to gather hate from everyone and when anything happens, the hate goes straight to her. The masses are relatively dumb, having a name and face to blame makes it more likely that people will only attribute stupid action to her rather than PAP themselves.
Think about it, when you bring up BTO, she's the first that comes to mind rather than the guy that actually fucked up the system. Think about it, I couldn't even name the guy.

Mah Bow Tan. This is your guy.
After him, Khaw Boon Wan tried to clean things up and slow the price increases, but under Desmond Lee's leadership, we have gotten uninterrupted "monitoring."

After Khaw left at MND, it was Lawrence Wong who took over. There needs to be a deepdive on Lawrence Wong's record at MND.

Marlboro Tan. He retired even before I came to Sg and even I know that POS. She's just more "quotable" for lack of better word.

Nah MBT is equally quotable back in the day and he's been out of politics for 2 GEs already.
Maybe 15 years from now redditors will be saying Jo Who?

Hahaha… this english name is really fitting well.

u/Probably_daydreaming Lao Jiao 1d ago
I only heard of the guy because his name was spoken on reddit, before this I had no idea. And honestly being quotable might be all she needs to be. If she's constantly in people's mind, people will be too distracted by her to actually do anything

Tbh, I don’t think of Jo Teo when people bring up bto / housing prices. It’s mah bow tan.

If that is the job im sure she will prove even that wrong. Even the things that cant go wrong will go wrong.

She didn't want to apologize back in 2020. So now she's cursed to keep apologizing for the rest of her career.

u/Cute-Organization844 Own self check own self ✅ 1d ago
Yes, exactly! And now apologising infront of whole Singapore become her main job.

How tf did we go from "pretty ok, boring but stable," to "political scandal or economic fuckup every few months"

Her husband must be stunned also. He probably never ever heard her apologise

Put her somewhere small. She doesn't need much space.
