Nothing But Cowpeh Cowbu

I read recently that Senior Perm Sec and PAP MP Ann Sim tried to be a comedian. She wants to slay the sacred 'cowpeh' and 'cowbu' [Link]

For those not into Hokkien dialect, this is my humble translation: 'Cowpeh' =' cry father'. 'Cowbu' = 'cry mother'. It a verb meaning complain, bitch, rant or  making noise in a very loud fashion. If used as a noun (or in plural, nouns) like Ann Sim does, I guess bloggers in the social media are the worst CPCBs (CowPeh'sCowBu's) in the eyes of the PAP!

Try as they might to convince me of the value, I still do not understand why are we having this NATional CONversation. My question is very simple:

Why do PAP politicians/leaders want us to talk to them about the future (20 years from now?) when Singaporeans really need them to urgently solve the current problems of today? 

The National Conversation is nothing but a 'wayang' to divert our attention from the current challenges and frustration that we Singaporeans (not necessarily applicable to the rich, famous and elites) are facing:

• The asphyxiation of Singaporeans from the liberal influx of foreigners.
• The never ending fight for transportation, housing, medical services including hospital beds. 
• The unattainable CPF savings! Just when will they stop shifting the goalposts and allow Singaporeans to possess what we legally own? The introduction of Forced Annuity and increase in Minimum Sum Scheme and Medisave are just ways to keep Singaporeans away from what's rightly ours. The incentives given for all and sundry to top up accounts (now even for in-laws!) makes me wonder if CPF is broke!
• The crazy control of the nation's wealth in the hands of too little, too few. GIC and Temasek. Husband and Wife. Some term it nepotism, others, incest!
• The blatant use of money and material to woo and gain support. No, I'm not against the pay increase of 8% for teachers. In fact, most teachers I know deserve more for their time and effort in moulding our children to be decent, loyal and courageous Singaporeans. I feel strongly that real good teachers shouldn't work so hard that they stressed out so badly ending up in IMH.  Apart from using money, it's time for MOE to sincerely look at the worklife balance of the moulders of dreams. Teachers seem to have as much, if not more, homework than they give their students. Why can't teachers mark and prepare exam papers in school instead of at home? To make matter worse, some parents have outsourced their parenting duties to teachers! (and domestic help, if I may add).
• The insult and contempt that the elite rulers dispense upon us. Example of which is the song and dance of a NATional CONversation. Why PAP politicians/leaders want to talk of the future (20 years from now?) instead of solving the current problems today is beyond most sane and reasonable Singaporeans.

The charmed offensive from the PAP politicians and the MSM ain't working. They can screw some Singaporeans all the time. They can screw all Singaporeans sometime. The cannot screw all Singaporeans all the time!


Tom Jones sang: "To live for today and to love for tomorrow is the wisdom of a fool". For PAP to encourage everyone to "To talk cock and sing song about tomorrow and neglect the woes of today is the wisdom of overpaid idiots!"

As Ann Sim so enjoy using Hokkien as in CPCB, may I just add "Chui Kong Lumpar Song" (I used often in my previous posts). It is what this NATional CONversation is all about. I'd like to add "Cho Bo Lan" ("Do No Penis") and "Bo Seow Kan" ("No Sperm Sex") meaning doing nothing of substance. The NATional CONversation, not unlike the "Remaking of Singapore" is much ado about nothing!
