Josephine Teo shared her chit chat with a foreign leader who came here
quite often. And this was what she commented. ‘ I had dinner with a
well-regarded government leader from our region. This person comes to
Singapore for private short breaks. I asked this person: “Why do you
come?” (He said): “To be encouraged and to be inspired.” People always
say you must appreciate your own home. There’s truth in that.’
I fully agree with her that we have built a great place to live in. And
why are Singaporeans so angry, she asked. I won’t want to comment why
she asked such a question. It is like some MP asking, why got poor
people in Singapore meh? Ignorance, living in cloud nine, refusing to
come to terms with what is around her, and worse, thinking that all
Singaporeans are bathing in a lap of luxury like her is simply
unbelieveable. A politician is supposed to be well connected with the
people, understands the people and their aspirations and their woes and
concern.
Ok, enough of that. Now, why are Singaporeans angry? Why do I sound
angry about the happenings and policies affecting the people when we
live in a city that is an inspiration to many leaders around the world?
Many leaders would want to create a country like ours no matter how
corrupt they are. It is an achievement and a pride to be able to do a
Singapore.
The people are angry simply because they fear losing this great country
they have built. Not that the country will crumbled and become another
normal 3rd World city. It can happen. The chances of it happening in the
short term are remote. But the chance of losing it to foreigners and
Singaporeans struggling to earn a living, to fall victims to foreigners
who seized the country as their own is so high. It is happening. Many
parts of the island have already been taken over by the foreigners. Many
jobs and industries have been captured and controlled by foreigners.
Dunno meh?
The foreigners have taken more than a beach head and will expand their
foothold rapidly at the expense of Sinkies. And she asked, ‘Why are
Singaporeans angry?’ Ask that again.
The leaders are living such a contented lifestyle that they are oblivion
to the dangers facing this country and in a way working towards losing
it for the citizens of the island. And this is only one aspect that the
people are angry. If politicians do not know that the people are angry
and do not know why there are angry, it simply means they are sleeping
or living in Alice’s Wonderland. Life is too good for them to know
anything is amiss. Do they want to know why the people are angry?
We have a great country. Don’t lose it. Don’t give it away on a silver
platter to wolves in sheepskins. Don’t condemn our citizens to become
maids and taxi drivers and security guards or become statistics of
unemployment. Every year we produced thousands of very smart children.
Please don’t make them servants to fakes, non talents and average
talents from the 3rd World.
She lives in a doom or a dome? Whatever, it must be a great way to live with temperature, humidity and all creature comforts adjusted to make living so nice nice.
ReplyDeleteHow many of you have such a privilege and so sheltered that you don't know what is happening around you?
Our men/women-in-white have like to kpkb and have Everest high expectations of Singaporeans.
ReplyDeleteWrong, they have high expectations of how much they are deserving.

Why are people angry? asked RB rhetorically?
ReplyDeleteWhy would the people not be angry when they were blamed for causing the shortage of beds in our hospitals?
One of leaders, a doctor and member of GPC for Health mind you,said publicly the people are un-filial, selfish and inconsiderate who dumped their parents in hospitals while they went for holidays.
Did it occurred to her.... he might be here to check his bank accounts?
ReplyDeleteknnccb.... sob hsienloong return our cpf@55.
Why the should the ministers reduce their salaries competitive to the equivalent to the Nordic, Swiss & New Zealand?
ReplyDeleteWith more and better quality opposition come back to Singapore to compete with them, it will be more difficult for the Tin Tin, Zoro or tooth pick king, the Maraboro Tan difficult to complete?
The main parties can't take too many chance as China coming out from their slumber, they were more competitive and produce better graduates?
There are enough internet to check corruption, with the advanced of technology unlike last time?
Heavy indirect texes left Singaporean less and less competitive?
Those countries know that these level of salaries are at the right level for politicians, because they are the most advanced countries, development, with few millions populations to their level of responsibilities?
If they reduce their salaries Singapore become more competitive, as previously their high salaries, need lots of cheap labour, foreigners, massive indirect texes to maintains?
The next election the oppositions could take advantage of these Singapore losing competitiveness?
So they need to give back the CPF of around 80 percents to people who reach 55 as many other previously had taken out?
With less indirect texes business is not overly texes, so the less likely to use cheaper foreign workers who might depress or take away the new citizens and local salaries?
With less cheaper and less educated foreigners, productivity and innovations likely to increase?
With less competition form cheaper foreigner, Singaporean birthrate likely to increase like the Nordic 1.8 Singapore 1.2, as more felt the jobs were secure and they got more confident?
With more confident of borning of their babies like the Nordic, the birthrate likely to soar?
With less cheaper foreigners to compete and lowering of productivity , Singaporean standard of living likely to improve and the Gini Coefficiency likely to improve?
Most people here cannot feel anymore. The only thing they can feel is greed. One is a loser if one is poor and one is a winner if one is rich who managed to earn lots of money whether in the right or wrong ways.
ReplyDeleteWhy are PAP Millionaires like Josephine Teo living in an air-conditioned dome?
ReplyDeletePAPigs think it is because of their hard work, talent and planning.
But Singaporeans know.
PAP Millionaires live in an air-conditioned dome because of Singaporeans' daft willingness to sacrifice everything in order to make PAP's policies succeed.
Example:
Singapore has the worst education system in the world.
PAP Education Ministers form an unbroken chain of failure.
But instead of voting out the PAPigs.
What do Singaporean parents do?
Singaporean parents hire private tutors to make up for the shortcomings in the education system.
So PAP Education Ministers continue to think that they don't need to have a background in education to succeed as an Education Minister.
Don't believe me?
I challenge Millionaire Heng Swee Keat to ban private tuition for one year.
After one year, when the exam results come out.
I want to see if Heng Swee Keat will still have a job.
If Singapore schools and teachers are really that good.
They will be able to save Heng Swee Keat's job.
Right?
Answer; all city, no country.
ReplyDeleteSo forget about 'Take me Home Country Road'.
Ask that Lijiang emperor aka Wing Chun master here when he visit Beijing and he will also say he is there to be encouraged and to be inspired.
ReplyDeleteSo many words (in these pages) so much mambo jambo.
ReplyDeleteThose who have eyes but cannot see.
ReplyDeleteOnly the intelligent can see the wisdom in these pages. The daft will only see mambo jambo. Can't blame him.
If Minister Josephine Teo is asking herself the Question, it just goes to show that she might have not been attending Meet The People Session or she is oblivious to the Ground Sentiment.
ReplyDeleteIt could also mean that she has not much human feeling in her natural self. Void of sympathy and apathy could make one conscience-less.

Like I've said so many times before, the idea of "cuntree" is fast becoming obsolete, as borders become less relevant and the world becomes more globalised.
ReplyDeleteSingapore is a fantastic HOTEL. Probably one of the world's finest. It is for that reason many more people other than the aforementioned "foreign leader" come here for "private breaks".
Totally understandable. The aforementioned leader is a person after my own heart.
Well done, Hotel Singapore. A-Number One, you are!
How remiss of me not to remind the fair citizens of the truism:
ReplyDeleteThe Sheeple Get The Cuntree They Deserve
Agree with MS. The Japanese are coming. Can work for Japanese again.
ReplyDeleteYes, today we still have a good country.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow, who knows?
Which flag would you choose, USA, India or China?
ReplyDeleteFor God's sake woman.
ReplyDeleteResign.
Stay at home.
Spread your legs and make the extra baby you long for.
The work you do is bullshit work.
Singaporeans will survive your absence from the political scene.
Goodbye & Good Riddance.
