Zee News reported on 4 May 14 that Hsien Loong made these remarks,
‘"Singaporeans, new arrivals, people who are on permanent residence
here, people who are on employment pass here, all participating in one
big Singapore family... So that we feel that this is a place which is
special, which belongs to all of us and where we all celebrate one
another's festivals and happy events together."
Dressed in red Kurta, Lee joined 600 residents at a community club of
his constituency, tried his hand at a Thanjavur painting which was on
cultural display and watched performances by classical Indian dancers.'
There are many comments in the net with netizens showing great concern
as to why Hsien Loong said these things. I am more concern with what
Hsien Loong is eating or drinking. I am worried that he is being doped
and didn’t know what he was saying. Who knows. Maybe he really meant
what he said. Sinkieland belongs to everyone here, citizens or non
citizens.
It is really puzzling for Hsien Loong to say this. I beg he is misquoted.
I too just told my children that our apartment too belongs to those Town Council cleaners who daily sweep our corridor and maintains the block. They are to let them into the house with no questions asked. Also, I've instructed my wife that these cleaners should be fed first and made to feel completely at home as we should all be one big happy community.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and children no longer talks to me.
They are thinking of committing me to a mental asylum.
Did I do anything wrong?
All I ever wished for was to made this cleaners feel wanted and at home in our little island.
Is that too much to ask for?
Rb..very easy to see whether he talk cock or not...make it an election issue!!
ReplyDelete"If you can't walk the talk...then u talk the cock"...an unknown Singaporean ...)))
The Prime Minister was very right. That's why 60+% of Sinkies agree with him and voted for his Party. They really adore Lee Hsien Loong and Lee Hsien Loongs adores aliens and there goes the Cycle.
ReplyDeleteHsien Loong is Matilah's idol. Borderless, anyone can come in and share the hotel.
ReplyDeleteWe've been completely sold out by Lee Hsien Loon the traitor.
ReplyDeleteIn any other country what he said would have triggered a revolution.
Over here we meek S'poreans at best can only pray and hope that he gets a relapse with his Lymphoma to shorten his life.
Hi dearie, welcome to the blog.
ReplyDeleteLook at it this way, it could be worse. He is the best man for the job. Think what would have happened if the second best is in the job?
Think CECA, then AEC and than TPP.
RB:
ReplyDelete>> Maybe he really meant what he said. Sinkieland belongs to everyone here, citizens or non citizens.
..and also Hotel guests ;-)
One big happy family lah.
Got brotherly love?
i dont think he is misquoted by indian papers because straits times also quoted those traitorous words.
ReplyDeletehe is really mad this time. i think he is having cancer relapse and cannit think clearly. in a one man dictatorship the country is destroyed. all the keyboard warriors here are not worth a thing. just a riot in serangoon and today PAP said they are building FOUR new recreation centre for foreign workers.
Violence us the only language PAP reacts to, not the fanciful blogs if redbean, TRE, TRS....
PM Lee can rest assured that despite whatever he had said or even do, the strongest opposition party will not be ready to be govt.
ReplyDeleteSo 60% are very scared if they vote opposition, they may accidentally vote out PAP.
Which opposition leader is ready and also accepted by all opposition to be PM, u tell me lah?
"Violence us the only language PAP reacts to..."
ReplyDeleteRex 11:23 am
Violence? And by Sinkies?
U must be kidding.
Sinkies are not even interested to protest legally in large numbers at Hong Lim Park, let alone illegal and violent ones.
"Which opposition leader is ready and also accepted by all opposition to be PM, u tell me lah?"
ReplyDeleteAnon 11:24 am
Tiok. Nobody.
Even if WP Teochew Ah Hia want to be PM, I think SDP Chee will not accept it. And vice versa.
By the way, Ah Hia had even publicly stated he has no ambition to be PM, despite being the secretary general of the strongest opposition party, the WP.

If I were PM lee, that's very reassuring.
And so why would I be bothered by what RB and other Sinkies said?
Can these Sinkies replace me, u tell me lah?
Again, we are not again migrants...
ReplyDeleteThe key point we are disputing is the way in which migrant is taken in, and in an uncontrollable manner - like a condom given away for free....
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his father make many a Sinkies very sad and sick.
ReplyDeleteWhat he is eating to spew those rubbish is not the biggest concern. What the voters have been fed to continue electing him and his ilk to lord over them is of greater interest.
ReplyDeleteWhat is so shocking about Singapore belonging to everyone here including foreigners?
ReplyDeleteIt's already happening years ago and Singaporean has just woken up from slumber land!!!
Come on, if you are a true Singaporean, do you still feel this is "home" anymore.
When a person is doped, he can talk or behave wildly without knowing it till he is restrained.
ReplyDeleteHsien Loong's PPS may be drafting a letter to clarify what he said. Many NSmen are furious and demanding a clarification.
ReplyDelete"Many NSmen are furious...."
ReplyDeleteRB 1:26 pm
Furious? But are they furious enough to even vote for a dog or cat instead of PAP?
And if so, are there enough of them to vote PAP out?
I think PM and the MOM minister are targeting the new citizens in preparation to the imminent GE.
ReplyDeleteTheey are not afraid of back lash from sinkie becausw they now have enough new citizens swing vote to win the next GE comfortably.
I think the Istana House is the BEST place for the other nationals to celebrate their Independence Day.
ReplyDeleteThey can show their TRUE COLOUR of Welcoming 'ALL' as FAMILY!
ReplyDeleteA lot of people have been saying that he is a traitor, his words just prove that.
No lah, don't use such tag on the PM. He just want to be the PM of 6.9m instead of 3.5m people. This is called aspiration.
ReplyDeleteRB: //This is called aspiration.//
ReplyDeleteLike the old man calling the National Pledge an aspiration?
The 6.9 million is already set in concrete, chisseled into the Population White Paper. This idiot is welcoming all the FT's with open arms and legs. Maybe he has an "aspiration" to be the next President of the United Countries of South East Asia, like his old man wanted to be the Prime Minister of Malaysia, but was booted out. Their heads are too big for this little red dot.
Relac lah. Politicians are all evil. They are all very good in saying one thing but mean another.

ReplyDeleteWah..wah..wah...

Relax, he just wants to come across sounding like a nice guy to everyone. Better to say nice thing than wrong things right.
ReplyDeleteBut it is also not uncommon that emperors were being held hostage by their eunuchs in the past. But we will then call that retribution.
ReplyDeleteSmart people also have a right to make senseless statements. The more they make the betterest the outcome.
ReplyDeleteWhy are some Sinkies so furious with what PM Lee had said? If what he said is bad, it had already happened! And since 2011 !
ReplyDeleteYet 60% Sinkies then were OK with PAP to be govt and Lee as PM.
So does it matter if he had said or not said? If not, why angry with something which does not matter?
My Dear Prime Minister, you have indeed lost the respect of so many Singaporeans and most important of all, the honour and moral authority to lead Singapore by such utterance. I would urge you to apologize for making such disgraceful remark, resign and step down from your office. That would be the only last dignified thing you can do for Singapore, our country, our home land.

ReplyDeleteMost sinkies have anger management problem. Must learn from Matilah. No matter how horrible he was provoked, he can still stay still cool.
Sinkies must not forget that it is not the immigrants that caused their problems so no use getting angry with them or blame them. Get to the root cause of the problem. Blaming is useless. Blaming is wasted energy.
"Yet 60% Sinkies then were OK with PAP to be govt and Lee as PM."
ReplyDeleteAnon 4:28 pm
If it was OK in 2011 when things were bad, then it should also be OK in 2015/2016 if things are still bad, tio bo?
Do not forget, anyone will be and can be an immigrant anytime. So do not blame the immigrant.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you expect from the son of a translator working for the Imperial Japanese Army in World war Two?
ReplyDelete这小子青出于蓝勝于蓝.
DeleteThe Guy is worse than his dad who worked for the Japanese Imperial Army with the Ex-president name Nathan.
The Japanese Imperial Army targeted Chinese for massacre.
Do you think PM Lee is a Traitor?
ReplyDeleteThen what do you think of Singaporeans who vote for PAP?
okay ... since u all not happy with his remarks and being hypocrites, let me summed it up in a few words ...
ReplyDelete"kan ni na chou chee by" to ah loong
knnccb ... long live papigs
We need more motherhood statements. Don't stop. Keep them coming. Excellent way to unite the people.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think they have been telling Sinkies to 'bonk' with foreigners all these years?
ReplyDeleteWell, this is the result!
Bonking with foreigners will lead to more ten tribes.
ReplyDeleteRB
ReplyDelete“So that we feel that this is a place which is special, which belongs to all of us and where we all celebrate one another’s festivals and happy events together.”
a mountain out of molehill and quoting out of context of the whole sentence.
the 1st part of sentence starts “so that we feel”, is there a problem to have a feeling of belonging and togetherness.
Not a word on physical ownership was stated by him .
Wow, so now PM cannot have feeling when this was the complaint both past and present.
'which belongs to all of us'
ReplyDeleteYou can go and dissect the whole sentence and break it up into pieces and read whichever way you want to make yourself happy.
The issue is what the people read and how they perceive this statement. You can say anything you want and call it molehill.
That is your one man opinion.
Go and persuade all those angry voices that they are making a mountain out of a molehill. In politics, it is not what you say but what they hear.
@rex:
ReplyDelete>> Violence us the only language PAP reacts to, not the fanciful blogs if redbean, TRE, TRS....
I have to agree with rex. However violent revolution occurs only after the tipping point, and there are no signs of any such tipping point in wealthy Singapore.
For the most part, people have enough to live and enjoy. No bank runs, no food riots, no massive unemployment and destroyed economy nor is there any sectarian aggression. Even if you HALVE Singapore's per capita GDP, it would still surpass every developing cuntry on the planet.
So for the meantime... it i the "fanciful blogs" where all the hot-air non-action occurs!
Singaporeans idea of a "revolution" is to be in an aircon room, drinking coffee and eating snacks whilst writing great screeds on the internet demanding this and that and arguing with each other...taking breaks to surf to Japanese porn sites and jack-off, before returning to TRE to tekan the govt one more time.
Revolution, Singapore-style ;-)
Peaceful Revolution is oso Revolution.
DeleteImportantly, it can produce result.
Or
at least have some effects to cause some changes.
RB
ReplyDeleteAs you stated, it is an opinion which fair minded persons read in totality.
Bravo, You have super vision to see the mote in other people's eyes, yet cannot see the plank in your own.
Regards
I just have one plank in my eyes like you. But do you bother to read the comments by all those who feel pissed off?
ReplyDeleteNow that is no two planks, one in mine and one in yours. Would you bother to count or to you think they are all sensely daft sinkies who cannot read or understand English? They all misunderstood Hsien Loong?
Even if they have misunderstood, Hsien Loong would have a problem, for that is what they read and want to understand and want to get angry about.
theonion, there is now a petition asking Hsien Loong to resign because of this statement.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think?
Frankly speaking if your father is turning into a vampire, you will spout nonsense. Have you seen the latest old man photo? Sounds like the old man is on this therapy for ages.
ReplyDelete(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/10807478/Vampire-therapy-could-reverse-ageing-scientists-find.html)
These gaffes reveal the true heart of this man. I believe he meant every word he said. Don't trust this sneak.
ReplyDeleteHope I'm in time to add this.
ReplyDeleteThe govt just announced that they will build a few million $ of recreational areas for foreign workers.
So they are using taxpayers' money to help businesses hire cheap foreign workers. In other words, helping to make Singaporean workers unable to get higher pay.
Instead of making businesses pay more to employ foreign workers, the govt use our money to subsidise foreign workers and make our Singaporean friends and neighbours jobless. Makes me want to vomit. What about you guys?
