Koh Buck Song said Singapore is like a cruise ship. Hsien Loong
corrected him by saying that we are in an upgraded sampan. Now who is
right or whose version is the reality? Buck Song explained that in a
cruise ship, the elite would be partying in the top deck while the
masses would be rowing the ship at the bottom deck, with oars. All in
the same boat.
Hsien Loong was more self deprecating, and with a great sense of
humility. We are all in the same boat, in an upgraded sampan. This is
like saying we are living life the same way, having the same gruel and
sleeping on the same wooden planks. And we move ahead together or sink
together, in the same sampan. No one is partying in the top deck.
This is a good political statement, saying the right thing for the
people to hear. No one will be left behind. We even scooped up
foreigners in the high seas to sail with us. We accommodate them and we
don’t mind the squeeze, together in the same sampan. We can hug everyone
while yo-yoing in the high seas, foreigners, locals all same same.
Now, did I get the picture right?

But Mr Lee warned: "Once you think you are in a cruise ship and you are on a holiday and everything must go swimmingly well and will be attended to for you, I think you are in trouble."
Stop.
My question to Mr Lee is:
Do you and your cabinet Ministers think you are in a cruise ship?
My salary tells me I am in a sampan.
How about your salary?
The salary that you are paying yourself because you, the government says that is how much you are worth.
It it a sampan salary or a cruise ship salary?
If you are on a sampan, then pay yourself a sampan salary.
I think mr koh is more correct to say that we are on the cruise ship....
But, of course not all are on holidays.....
Please note that a cruise ship has many decks and different decks are for different CLASSES of cruisers......
Cheers......
Sampan 2.0 can carry 6.9 million passengers meh?
6.9 million does not include another million or two in maids, cleaners and construction workers hor.
Please lah. Relac. Mr Koh is a talented writer and poet, so one would expect him to use metaphors to elucidate his ideas.
Metaphors are not real. So no need to over-exert one's thinking muscles here.
BTW, a reminder to the ladies who love angmo tau kee: it's not the size of your sampan, but the motion of the ocean.
AiyaI, matilar, just bend over and open your mouth big big lar hehe knn
But I must say I am somewhat confused, sometime the ruler said we are in first world and now in sampan. I think this is similar to situation leadership thingi that is using different leadership style with different people. So this argument also sama sama that is use whatever is appropriate at the time lar. For example when talking about the Hugh salary, then said we in first world lor then when tkl about welfare then we in sampan lor. Tio Bo?
Matilar you got a foul mouth. I agreed u should bend over and open your mouth big big so anyone can stick their dicks into whatever hole you have. Haha
Matilar, the last time I spoke to your mother, wife, sisters and daughters, they said that was what u did to them. U are a real animal lor, knnccb
From third world to first we were told. Now, suddenly it is back to third world? Now who has been lying through his teeth? The father or the son?
Elites are on cruise ship whereas ordinary people are on the sampan. Uniquely Singapore indeed!
After 50 years stewardship, we are still a sampan????
And you dare to pay yourselves millions of dollars a year with our hard-earned tax-payers' money???
If we are still a sampan, that is the PAP's failure. And all this after taking sky high salaries and big talk that only the PAP can move us forward with 'more good years'? On a sampan?
Whether the PM and his Khakis are on cruise ship or sampan make no difference to the sailors(boat/ship workers). You still have to ensure their safeties and wellbeings.
Serve them well as You have always been doing. Daft daft Sinkies. Serve You right too.
Many years ago, a group of people came to an island in sampans.......
They worked very very hard and together they built a cruise ship.....
The elected captain of the cruise ship is too humble. He called the cruise ship as a new sampan......
What say you.......
it is no more the sampan age, it is now the cruise ship age.....
Its a slave ship. The slave is throw into the ocean once he is sick, old, wounded etc.
'In order to achieve profit, the owners of the ships divided their hulls into holds with little headroom, so they could transport as many slaves as possible..' (wikipedia 'slave ship'). Sounds familiar?
And if anyone thinks that the owner of the ship is on board, he or she is underestimating the cunningness of the owner. The owner is enjoying somewhere in oz, eu, us with all the good food, sex, treatments. Leaving the ship under the care of some eager evil egoistic captain. Such is the way of life in every capitalistic country.
Singapore is a sampan when you ask for social services.
Singapore is a cruise ship when it is time to determine PAP Ministers' salary.
redbean,
Do you see how some of these horny douchebags come and solicit sexual favours from me?
Honestly, they've invited me to suck their dicks and then allow them to jam my arsehole. In some ways, I'm flattered lah. I never imagined that the words I write could stimulate such dark desires.
Life is full of surprises!
Don't know whether this is real or a hoax.
Although, kinda awesome if it were true, I cannot agree with the hacking of infrastructure. That would fuck everyone and everything up, not just the government.
