Parliament ended at 7.15 pm
today...Interesting debate...I heard Amy Khor, some PAP MPs which I do
not want to know their names then Grace Fu, Chen Show Mao, Lily Neo,
Inderjit Singh, Gerald Giam and Lina Chiam..Lui Ah Tuck..spoke.
Each got their say mainly supporting the motion....only Lily Neo and
Inderjit Singh 'abstain' their support. if the whip is lifted they would
have vote against !!
Lily Neo
was passionate on the elderly being left out, on community living and
proposed an Elderly Needy and Medical Fund to assist the poor elderly.
Amy Khor spoke on the S'pore Core...I was wandering is it Hardcore pornography!!
Chen Show Mao spoke on the older workforce and how employers are not
willing to employ seniors...Obvious He opposed the motion. He overshot
his time allowed.
Grace Fu talked cock and sing song with graphic
of family graphs and how young generation needed to support older
senior...She obviously after her long rhetorics support the motion...In
fact, I slept intermittently with her boring speech, also in
mandarin. She spoke for almost 45 minutes...roughly...
Gerald
Giam delivered a good speech on how to sustain a population for a
dynamic S'pore...He pointed out a false dilemma of PAP toilet paper. He
was rebutted fiercely by Iswaran and Tan Chuan-jin..
Inderjit
Singh screwed up the policy of the govt white paper..pointing out the
flaw and took a potshot at GCT which just walked out during his
speech..on the oversight of population even during GCT's time..Inderjet
did warn about the problem the govt would face..He is less
partisan..Kudos!
Speaker Halimah by then went off and replaced
by Deputy Speaker Seah Kian Peng taking the Speaker chair and Lina Chiam (NCMP) still
addressed him as Mdm Speaker, but was quick to apologise saying she did
not know Mdm Halimah was replaced...Everyone laughed in the house! So
Seah Kian Peng for a moment became a she!
Now the tagline is
S'porean Core by Amy Khor and I really do not know what the hell it
is???....I really wonder is it a hardcore or what of the White toilet
paper...?
But the best was Sylvia Lim's tagline (during her
speech yesterday..Today she did not speak).... of a sustainable
Spore for a dynamic population ..not PAP's sustainable population for a
dynamic S'pore...
So, in fact there is nothing to debate on
with the minority voices of opposition...In the end...the motion will be
passed ..whether S'poreans like it or not!!
That is not a S'prean Core but hardcore PAP!!

First and foremost,
ReplyDeletewhat's the definition of "S'porean Core"
in the paper?
Or thought that everyone in the house and the public knows what it is without explanation?
Key words have to be defined rather than to allow some ambiguity.
Every parents and NS men want to know what is TCH and AK's definition of Singaporean Core. Is it those family with son who has served the army are considered core? So local born-n-bred family with daughters who didn't serve are not core? OR it applies to all local-born-bred, educated and lived here for at least one generations are core? What happens to those PR-turned-SC who are adults today but their children choose not to be SC, are they considered core if they lived 20 or more years of their live here? You can't say you are FOR them if you couldn't define CORE?
ReplyDeleteThe S'porean Core is generalised by the PAP MPs..In fact I do not have an iota to really know what Amy Khor was talking about!!. By the crux of her speech she meant the value of S'poreans towards that of the foreigners...
ReplyDeleteShe really sounded very lame...And her parting shot was the ultimate, when she say if S'poreans can leave the country so do the foreigners turned citizens. What is she trying to imply???
It is sad to see Singapore get hijacked by a bunch of self-serving PAP politicians who run this place like a profit-maximizing, rent-seeking corporation.
ReplyDelete6.9 million population on a small island city-state is unsustainable. There is no point going on about 'making a great city' or 'having a strong Singaporean core' when the fundamental issue is a mathematical one.
Singapore is overcrowded and its infrastructure is bursting at its seams. Enough is enough.
I share your sentiments...
