Random Political Rant

Wong Kan Seng:
Hasn't your mother taught you responsibility and remorse? Show some genuine sincerity or you would soon be credited as a liability in PAP multi-million dollar asset account.

Lee Hsien Loong:
Oh for goodness sake. First you let your father comment in the press (OVERSEAS!) before you, then after 10 days of non-response, you were compelled to reply a reporter with the now infamous "what to do" comment.

Tsk tsk tsk. Indecisive, defensive and escapist. I hope you're not a long lost brother of Abdullah Badawi.

Low Thia Kiang:
Little too cautious. You've gotta be more effectual than the nominated MPs.

Chiam See Tong:
Thank goodness you're better now. Please please please find your successor. While your commitment and endurance is unquestionable, your days seem to be numbered. God bless you.

Sylvia Lim:
You look fat.

NUS student magazine censors interview with Chee

Singapore Democrats

National University of Singapore (NUS) The Ridge magazine, a student union journal, has declined to publish an interview one of its writers did with Dr Chee Soon Juan.

Mr Kelvin Lim, a student reporter for The Ridge, wrote to Dr Chee in January this year for an interview for the magazine when the Singapore Democrats held its public forum on election reform.

We reproduce the unpublished interview below: Read More

Kelvin's Official Response:

Agad.

iCynical

Do not be cynical.
Do not be cynical.
Do not be cynical.
Skepticism is okay, but not cynicism.

Chanting the above became my daily ritual, before I read the local papers. But I knew I was a lost cause when I read the most interesting page 3 of The State's Times (How Prof. Thio Li-Ann would describe it... Heh.) this year.

SM's call to wealthy: Give 0.5% of annual pay to needy.
He hopes Singapore will one day become a country known for philanthropy.

Placed strategically beside the above article was this:

PAP moves to counter criticism of party, Govt in cyberspace.

I giggled, cried, laughed and went into spasms all at the same time. If you thought ROFL wasn't possible in real life, you would be definitely convinced otherwise.

So I speculated our dear president, Mr Nathan who drew $2.6 million in 2006 (with an impending increase of $200,000 this year) would be "compelled" to donate at least $13,000. If we were to assume that our various ministers will follow suit, the poor is set to have another windfall!

Woohoo!
