Presidental Election: The Heat Is On!

It’s amazing! It’s even better than the National Day Parade!

With the chorus of “Chiak Liow Bee” (Good for nothing), “Bullshit” and “Patrick Tan”, Tony could still walked off the stage smiling. He could be hard of hearing, insensitive or simply doesn’t give a fook!

Though Patrick’s special NS treatment is an issue on integrity and fairplay, I hope many will google on the 'Escape from Cheng San' [Link] and the defamation of Tan Liang Hong [Link] & [Link] to gain more knowledge of the presidential candidate. From the links, we may understand better the reasons for such outburst!

Singaporeans are often accused of "rocking the boat", of being "disruptive", 'daft", "divisive" and even "disloyal" when they disagree with the power that it. For the prudes who feel that the "noise" of "Chiak Liow Bee", "Bullshit" and "Patrick Tan" are uncouth, stupid or disrespectful, my question is: If not this, how? If not now, when? With the stifling oppression and suppression freedom of speech and peaceful demonstration in Singapore, how else can unhappy Singaporeans be heard? It is better this than than gunning down innocents (as in Norway) or self-immolation as in Tibet.

Times, they are a changin’. Singaporeans are waking up to the idea that “enough is enough”. Singaporeans want to live by the National Pledge – ‘to build a democratic society based on justice and equality – and not treat it like another “talk cock sing song” aspiration where well-connected elites get “white horse” treatment while ordinary citizens get spurs hooked and bleeding on their backsides!

Nobody would like to be in the position of Tony and his cronies on the stage at PA HQ today. Unless you do not have a beating heart, unless you are a thick-skinned puppet or a heartless mercenary, you would have been emotionally and negatively impacted by such unhappy “noise”.

However, we live, we die. We reap, we sow.

Maybe, just maybe, which ever station we are in, it evens out!

ps: It is indeed honourable of Jee Say to admit that his supporters may have created the 'noise' but I'm not surprised that supporters of TKL and TCB or even Singaporeans without any affiliation to any candidate have joined in the Celebration Cheer! Celebration Cheer? How often can you make such "noise" to such a powerful and rich elite?
