If only this is possible, having a dream team NMP from the
social media. In reality this is unlikely as the bloggers in social media are
just too loud, talk too much and will be a pain in the neck if they ever get
into parliament. Why would they want these loudmouth bloggers to give them some
headache when they don’t need to? Still
then, if they really want committed and sincere citizens that have the affairs
of the state at heart and are thinking and talking about them daily, without
being paid, where else can they find them other than the social media?
Let me imagine what the NMP dream team would be like if the
bloggers have a choice. Leong Sze Hian, Roy Ngerng, Alex Au, Vincent
Wijeysingha, Chris K, Oxygen, Christine Lim, Cynical Investor to name just a
few. Kenneth J, Tan Kin Lian and Gilbert Goh too would make it to the team but
they would likely contest the next GE and enter by the main door. And there is
a FT in Christopher Balding to consider too. We are so in love with FTs and
including one will be just so nice.
With such a team in parliament, PAP would definitely be at their
best, no more on leave, busy, no time to attend parliament, and cannot afford
to doze off either. It may even devote a handpicked team to take on the NMP
dream team, but not necessarily their first team. The first team would be too
lethal, a cold steely stare would be enough to deal a deadly blow to the NMP
dream team. Let’s just speculate a few names for the PAP task force against the
NMP dream team. Lee Bee Wah, Irene Ng, Hri Kumar, Vikram Nair, Lim Wee Kiat,
Janil, all great PAP debaters. And for good measures PAP might want the team to
be helmed by a minister to give it the ballast. Iswaran would be more than
enough to take on this task, and watch out for his southpaw. Fatimah Lateef did
not and took a full body blow recently.
It would be a wonder to watch the two teams fight it out in
parliament and I am sure the TV ratings would shoot through the roof when
parliament is in session. It would beat all the Channel 5 or Channel 8 dramas
hands down. Unfortunately this can only happen in dreamland. There would not be
any NMP dream team or PAP task force to do mortal combat in parliament.

The dream team should include RB. After all, you have been rather vocal in your blog wherever the interests of Sinkingporeans are concerned. I am sure you're doing it not out of spike but is genuinely concerned with the cesspit state that this country is sinking into.
ReplyDeleteI nominate you anytime over one of those boot licking inactive so called NMP currently in office who contribute as much as my friendly garang guni man.
If you give us your permission, I am sure many of us haunting around your blog would really give you the thumbs up and support.
I will support anybody except PAP.
ReplyDeleteNothing will improve in Singapore until we have a regime change.
Modest modest, you left out yourself.
ReplyDeleteDo consider as 2015 is near.
Not so simple and straight-forward - the non-MPs (beside highly-recommended) need to pass through super-long high-security clearance to get into the not-so-hot seats.
ReplyDelete@RB:
ReplyDelete>> Unfortunately this can only happen in dreamland. There would not be any NMP dream team or PAP task force to do mortal combat in parliament.
Exactement! This is a fantasy. Being "smart" is doing whatever you can to get the best out-cum with what is available to you, right here in THE PRESENT.
And in such a fucking wealthy and open place like Singapore, there are plenty of resources available to get your shit together, and chase after your dream -- if you can be bothered to TAKE ACTION.
As I've said before, a small city state requires no parliament. Sell off parliament house to Far East (the best managers of private real estate, by far), sack all the members, and rehire them (the worthy ones) in a management team to administer Singapore. This team is a small team occupying only 2 or 3 floors of a modern office building.
Anyway, NMP's are a gross waste of taxpayer money. They don't do Jack Schit.
"The NMP Dream Team"? Waste of time and money. Bad Idea.
Kopi Level: time for a free refill ;-)
Nominating a NMP no need his permission.
ReplyDeleteBy then, they will change the rules in Parliament that forbids dream team NMPs to speak, only to listen lah!
ReplyDeleteBut, wait long long, ok!
Such a wonder idea! May be we should also add representative(s) from Idia, China, The Phillipines...etc whose presence is considered "significant" in Spore, thereby making the hub of the "internationals" of the East.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, we should also include world renowned political leaders to be appoited as Minister of Internationals. By doing so will then make Spore be the centre of the East.
What do u think?
Of course the NMP idea was a sham. It was originally intended to con Sinkies into believing that with NMPs in Parliament, there will not be a need for an opposition. Needless to say, people in Hougang, Aljunied GRC and Punggol East see through the PAP scam and they voted for the opposition.
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, Sinkies can see what those 'teletubbies' can do in Parliament. Just providing entertainment and a total waste of taxpayer's money.
RB, you left out the professional debater, Vivian and of course the koyok seller sitting on top of NTUC.
ReplyDeleteThe debating skills of these two is enough to knock out the NMP dream team. No fight lah!
Even if the PAP task force fail to deliver the knockout blow, they can always bring out the 'grandmaster' to deflect the blows from the NMP dream team.
Grandmaster had to be assisted on both sides to get to the rostrum.
DeleteExemption, can sit down as Founding Father of Singapore.
MAJULAH
Here is the Founding Father at the Founding of Singapore.
ReplyDeleteDid he look ready to be Prime Minister?

Hi Green Monster, welcome to the blog. The final say on who would pass the post as NMP will be decided by the govt.
ReplyDeleteThere are two types of doctors in this world. One type is very evil but very rich. He thrives on repeated consultations by not curing his patients instantly. Another type is very good but poor. He always attempts to cure his patients at the first visit. Choose your doctor carefully else the market will only end up with the evil type doctor.
