UNDP and the making of Singapore's Public Service

This  partnership  commenced  when  Dr Albert Winsemius (1910-1996)  first  visited  Singapore as the leader of an UN mission in October 1960. After studying the nation's prospects, he delivered a report that proved to be a roadmap for Singapore's development. Former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew recalled two pieces of advice that Winsemius offered when presenting him with the report: "Don't remove Raffles' statue" and "Get rid of the communists". Prime Minister Lee remembered being "left speechless ... at the absurdity of this simple solution", but then came to appreciate his clarity of vision. Winsemius' judgement and advice was increasingly trusted, and in due course he became one of the 'old guard'.

So BoJo is already half-way removing the "Communist" leader Jeremy Corbyn from British parliamentary soil. Is the UK searching for their Winsemius?
