I see the role of a Speaker of Parliament as procedural.
From another angle, perhap he is no longer perceived as PM material so kena demoted.

My guess is for the Next GE, charles chong either bye bye to retire or being parachuted by his towkay to challenge an opp ward.
My Guess is Charles Chong should have retired at last ge but was asked to fight Punggol. One no harm done win is bonus so next ge he is likely to retire.

Tan Chuan-Jin has right qualities to be Speaker, appointment not a step down: Chan Chun Sing......

Whatever they say must be correct....just have to accept.....democracy at its best
