What is the most dangerous instrument in Parliament? Hot Mike.
When debating sensitive issues, sensitive mikes would be banned.
A new protocol has been drawn out telling MPs to switch off the mike after speaking. MPs that did not do so would be suspended from attending 3 Parliament sessions.
The whip reported that attendance would drop by 70% because many MPs and ministers would choose not switch off the mike after speaking, ....and opted for serving suspension from attending Parliament sessions.
Sniggering and whispering when a member of the House is speaking is prohibited.
Warning notice... Sniggering and whispering in Parliament can exposed one's character flaw.
There are illiterates in Parliament, ... from one lousy school. This is a strange revelation as some ministers were quoted to say that all schools in Singapore are good schools. How come got lousy school?
PSP may be putting up a motion to ask the Education Minister to explain this phenomenon.
You want to know the truth, go to listen to Parliament debates. Honourable ministers would not tell lies. Honest.
If they do not say sorry, how do they explain the drone hitting and killing 7 innocent Afghan children? If they continue to claim they had wrong intelligence, it means their intelligence is fxxked up, like the bombing of the Belgrade Chinese Embassy. That will be a slap on their own face from one touting they had the best intelligence in the whole universe.
ReplyDeleteAfter much debate on how to diffuse the hue and cry from the Global Community, saying sorry is the best alternative, which will be forgotten in due time, and they are hoping to extricate themselves from their barbaric action.
The driver of the car by the way, was said to be an interpreter for the previous Afghan Government and they must have been tracking him all along. Perhaps he had privileged information which may be detrimental to the USA and they had to put him out of contention. Not possible and conspiracy theory? With the USA, anything is possible and black can be construed as White. .
If elections had been around the corner, I think they will tell the opposition that they cannot talk about CECA at election rallies, like the BKF debacle many years ago.
ReplyDeleteAt the start of the COVID19, many people had predicted and warned that this was an opportunity for Governments to enact new laws to clamp down further on citizen's rights. We are not far off from those predictions becoming reality.
The more laws are enacted, the more powerful the government becomes, over-powering the very people who have elected them to serve the people. Instead, they enact laws to safeguard themselves and give them the power to act in their own best interests instead of in the people's interests. Of course, they will openly declare that it's for public or national interests but at the back of their mind it has always been for the politicians' or political parties' interests. The people becomes scapegoats and suckers!
ReplyDeleteEspecially so when a political party is in power for too long. There must be a limit of 8 to 10 years for each political party to be in power. Otherwise, its not good for the people whom the political party is supposed to serve. The political party becomes a end that justifies the means, erecting laws and using laws for its own purposes and its own advantages to stay on in power forever. This is worst than dictatorship. This is the worst form of government in the world. Outwardly looks like a gentleman but behind the scenes its not.
That laws are enacted to protect those in power themselves is not too far fetched. It is the reality.
ReplyDeleteJust look at our Laws for feeding birds which I just noted outside the lift entrance. A maximum fine of S$10,000? How much for kicking a dog or cat? How much for punching someone if that someone does not make a report, even with the police witnessing the assault. That is how the law works? It does work in mysterious circumstances.
Auntie, auntie, don't send your son to that lousy school hor.
ReplyDeleteI send my son to the good school in Tekka. Now everyone scared of that lousy school. After 10 years come out still illiterate. Damn jiat lat, waste money.
Everyone listen huh, go to any school, all good schools, but not to that lousy school. The one and only in Singapore.
