"There is one thing peculiar about the PAP – its losing incumbent candidates tend to call it quits after their defeats. Ng Pock Too, the former Chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Defence and Foreign Affairs left politics after he was defeated by Singapore Democratic Party’s (SDP) Cheo Chai Chen. Dr Seet Ai Mee, a former acting minister for community development also quit politics after losing to SDP’s Ling How Doong. A more recent illustrious example is George Yeo and Lim Hwee Hwa. Yeo was formerly a Minister for Foreign Affairs while Lim was a minister in the Prime Minister’s Office and Second Minister for Finance and Transport respectively."

GY did call it quit after 2011,I am not sure that he would not return,may be he wants to be the next President which is PAP in nature for him.
Why its losing incumbent candidates tend to call it quits after their defeats,well,all of them have no passion,simple as that,I am not saying that they don't have passion to be PAP MPs!
