Joy to the world/the greatest leader has come/so let's receive our king.
Quite uniquely, then, only Singapore’s opposition leaders are fond of telling lies since we don’t hear much of other countries’ opposition leaders being sued.
Simple logic? But no one else in Singapore uttered or thought of this. Ain't we braindead or what? Actually, a pal said Singaporeans are numb to injustice. Oooh, justice is all about 'inherent tendency', haven't you heard?
"Hey i'm a singaporean working in new york city for a year. singapore is still the perfect society to live in... probably in the world. please leave it as it has always been... everywhere we go, there's definitely some sort of control, if not people will run riot... as for the poverty thing.. we are no way close to even comparable with other first world countries.. their situation are worst."
Get the picture? Otherwise, how can we profess to have a 'balanced view' when there isn't two sides to the argument (the ST way), ya? C'mon, all you grassroots-interns, shout it out loud, if just for internal record to score brownie-points!
anyway lets go over there... more entertaining
(Clue: only 90 cents and it's not pulp-fiction - No, love, not 80 cents anymore. Yes, it has a surreptitious way of creeping into your consciousness. Surreptitious and it's 90 cents everyday. Imagine what you'd get if it's free? Cheaper COEs? Another renamed Progress Package? Sorry, you don't have the answers, they do!)
"Chee should decide if he wants to be humanitarian or leader. To be leader, he should only have one thing in his mind - defeat opponent, regardless of ways n conscience (politics is rightfully dirty). Yes, he doesn't even need to win over the people esp since they're a cowering lot. Otherwise, he can't lead. It's a simple fact of the art of war."
Methinks the writer is not trying to start a debate but is really reminding Chee of something he might have forgotten. At present, Chee does come across more of a humanitarian (like he should start his own Amnesty S'pore cos that's where he seems to be languishing now). It's one thing to try and convince the people... but how to win 'democratically' when democracy, like he says, is a farce? And, if I may add, all the civic organizations & debates are nothing but wayang-wayang to silence critics. A wise leader should know how to play dirty but make it look justifiably clean. Cos winning, very simply, defines a leader. (Though for longevity at the top, you'd have to look to our royal Harry.)
Can God be angry with himself? Eh, what is and what is not a religious issue in Singapore is determined by the Govt. (not a religious institution!). So, anyone with a semblance of brain would know that Govt = God (or at least, an institution of God). God could well be angry with Singapore cos you Singaporean-fools are not obedient enough towards the Govt. these days with your poisonous blogging. Leaving Him (Govt/God) to devious measures of co-opting blogging with STOMP and BREATHE and even 'fake panning' blog-sites. It's like interest in having an Opposition in Parliament. Singaporeans want? OK, you got it! The REAL ones always get SUED or turn fugitive! Cos as REAL opposition, those ones are true threats. Well, at least we know God is not angry with the Singapore Parliament!
