I didn’t like it but I voted for it, why?

Senior Politician Sir Julius Chan has given his reasons as to why he voted for the extension of the 30 month grace period.
 
He says by principle he is against the extension of any grace period as expressed in the past but he respects that times are changing and a new breed of leaders have called for the change.

To put things into perspective Sir Julius Chan spoke about Japans political experience. He says the economic power has illustrated that political stability is not needed to be economically sound.
He’s always been opposed to any mandatory extension of time but he voted for the extension of the 30 month grace period because times have changed.
“I vote with my head not with my heart. I didn’t like it but I voted for it, why? because I helped formed this government,” says Sir Julius.
 
He says the frequency of votes of no confident votes is healthy because it keeps everyone on their toes.
“If thirty seven years is an indication of stability, I think we should cherish that we are still stable. Yeah, the government change but to me, the definition to stability is not governments and is not time. The stability of this nation is in the transition of government.
Speaking about the revoking of the age limit of Prime Ministers to seventy three, he says the Prime Minister has done a noble act. Everyone has the right to stand for the top post.
