MPs hamtum Low TK!

Wah Budget debate machiam gladiator movie. LTK kena walloped left right centre. But LTK's point very simple what -

Mr Low: Our position is that we will never cut the CPF. But the question is, must it be Jobs Credit? Could it be other forms to help employers to cut costs? There may be other forms. But to me, Jobs Credit as it is, I don't think it's effective.

But those PAP MPs instead of questioning whether or not Jobs Credit Scheme is useful or effective, they use this opportunity to attack LTK. They all like dun understand LTK's very simple point, keep repeating their blurness, waste time, and in the end, ask like never been asked. 

In the end, is Singaporeans lose out. We choose MPs to represent the people, speak for the people. Yet rather than asking if these gahmen schemes are effective or not they unnecessarily go and grill LTK. I feel like I'm repeating myself. That's my point la, instead of making their points, they waste time repeating themselves. I'm repeating again. Dohz...

That Straits Times Chua Mui Hoong also one kind. Bootlick the PAP then bootlick la, why must sneak in an attack on LTK -

Mr Low's reply - English not being his most comfortable language - was a bit muddled: 'If the Workers' Party is in government, I'd rather that we use the money - if there's a need to save employers' cost - to pay directly to the CPF account of the members, for those who are in difficulty, for companies which are in difficulty, rather than have a Jobs Credit scheme that gives companies, regardless (of) whether they are profitable.

LTK's Engrish skills has no relevance here, no need to psycho Singaporean readers. If his statements are muddled, does that mean your quotation of him cannot be trusted? 

But after seeing LTK's performance on Youtube, I think LTK did very well. His English is not his first language, but he made himself understood what. Or is it that Chua Mui Hoong don't understand the Singlish accent? Maybe Chua Mui Hoong should interview LTK in Teochew la. 

Anyway, one man facing a load of PAP MPs is not easy, especially when they are not there to interrogate the issue but to pin down one man. At the end of the day, are we Singaporeans any better-off in knowing whether Jobs Credit scheme is good? So, like what LTK asked - what if it is not good? How lidatt? 

Now gahmen say use reserves, the reserves so fast can open. If Opposition form gahmen I wonder how many man years it will take before the money can come out of the reserves. And just because the gahmen say can use reserves, all the MPs clap their hands say good move. If gahmen happen to take the other tack and refuse to use reserves, I suppose these same MPs will also say good move la. Sometimes I wonder why we have all these MPs and pay them so much. Machiam redundant lidatt.

P65

I see from P65 blog, Lam Pin Min say why newspapers everyday bad news. Interesting question. Maybe news are really very bad and newspapers report as it is. Or maybe gahmen got agenda and newspapers obediently report gahmen's agenda. I mean not that obviously and directly la. Or maybe Lam Pin Min by making that statement has his own agenda? mmmmmm.

Anyway, it's good that he makes the effort to blog and talk to netizens. But I do wish that he would be more critical in engaging with gahmen policies. I mean, obviously he must toe party line and support the gahmen. But that doesn't mean he has to simply repeat what the gahmen already say. His replies just seem a bit 'off', somewhat lacking in sincerity. I prefer Baey Yam Keng, although is PAP guy, he seems more earnest. All the other hip hop MPs disappear liaoz.. maybe they have nothing else to say.

Sometimes I wish I were in a real dictatorship rather than be in a pretend one that is neither here nor there. At least then we can spend our time and energy living our lives than to be stuck on this aimless merry go round.

MSM name calling

How come these days the gahmen and the MSM like to call names? First (ok not really the first) we got Charles Chong calling us lesser mortals. Then Eugene Wee the tabloid writer calls bloggers bacteria. 

And then now Straits Times must join in. The two brave nudists are called insects. Like that how to be gracious society. Not even that, what kind of society are we that has MPs thinking the people it represents as lesser mortals? 

Straits Times is also not some upright institution what. At most it reports things as things are. But that is not very often. Mostly it reports things so that the gahmen will look good. I don't really want to join in the name-calling and call them prostitutes and lapdogs and shitty times and toilet paper and what not la. But for an immoral bootlicker newspaper to sit on some moral horse and call other people insects is a bit rich. 

If I call pest control to go fumigate the SPH newsroom you think how many rats and cockroaches will crawl out?

ST EDITORIAL

That naked stunt

... Just as there were those who cheered them on, there were others who were discomfited or offended by the stunt. There must be a sense of decorum in any society which sets its own threshold of social tolerance. One could say aberrations are to be expected with the influx of all sorts of foreigners, who bring with them their social mores and strange habits. Resident foreigners largely respect local sensibilities. The Holland V performers were the odd insects to have flown in through the open window.
