The show goes on . . . at NATCON

The National Conversation is getting queer.

Worse, it's getting pathetic!

Or is it supposed to be a joke or a comedy to lighten up the stress of the people?

If you have not read the Lawrence Wong Special and the responses, I hope you do now [Link]

And  if you have not heard from Sim Ann and Tan Chuan-Jin, it's fine. You aren't missing much! Same self-serving rhetoric of 'chui neu' literally translated 'blow cow' aka "self-praise".

Now that we have Teo Ser Luck lucking out to defend Lawrence [Link] , I must say the NATCON is getting as stupid as stupid gets! [Link]

A conversation is supposed to be an informal exchange of ideas, opinions and feelings by spoken words. However, due to the 'uninvites' and avoidance of certain ideas which might embarrass the establishment, the 'uninvited' has been conversing in the internet. In fact, online bloggers have done it long before the politically motivated "NATional CONversation came to being!

Isn't it crazy for PAP to want a conversation but deny, denigrate and'or dismiss the expressions of bloggers just because their opinions are different from the PAP establishment? Why 'hantam' alternative opinions as ''political" when the bloomin' NATCON is nothing but a political exercise in the first place! A charm offensive to divert unhappiness and frustration of Singaporeans with the hope of winning over disgruntled citizens - wayang themselves as caring souls listening to our plight and concerns.

With the offensive charm of Lawrence here, are we having fun yet?

By the way, Reach is inviting readers of TREmeritus [Link] to a Townhall discussion on 9 October to further discuss population issues, which will be chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean and Minister Grace Fu [Link].

I would very much like to attend the Townhall discussion but being allergic to white I must refrain. Furthermore, I would not like to have another heart attack when I ask Teo Chee Hian, "Mr Teo, did you play a part in Archbishop Nicholas Chia's withdrawing his unsolicited letter to Function8?" [Link]

I will definitely collapse with another heart attack if he answered, "What do you think?"

  1. Do you still want to listen to grandmother and grandfather's tachi story that does not answer your question, and analogy that meant to insult your intelligence ?

    Do you want to be humiliated like Reuben Wang for telling the FU brutal truth from your heart ?

    For how long these expensive national wayang show must go on ?

  2. Fish,
    the fact REACH has invited readers of TRE to attend can only mean they get the chance to positively identify the so called 'noise'

    personally i don't mind attending the Nat Con with Teo CH and Grace Fu "if they can give assurance" the Archbishop and/or victims of ISA detention will be there, including foreign media......

    about time spore citizens set the agenda for the Nat Con and not the other way round.

    Teo CH, if you happen to read this, "what do you think?"

  3. What's the best way to say F U to TCH?
    Boycott REACH and leave TCH alone on stage with GF.
    Then he can ask GF "What do you think?"

  4. The need for a National Conversation is probably the realisation that Singaporeans and the Government no longer talk to each other.

    Singaporeans already knows that talking to the Government is as good as talking to walls. Worse still, they have been accused of making too much noise. Now, who wants to talk to the Government, other than those apple-polishers, boot-lickers, marble-carriers and cronies, whose feedback is as good as promoting inbreeding.

    Now, many are so skeptical, they are calling this National Conversation one big national wayang.

    If you examine closely, it is still the converted talking to the converter. A National Conversation ought to be as natural and informal in order to elicit real feedback, nothing more nothing less.

    Yet they are resorting to the same old tactic of talking down, insisting, demanding and still persistent in sticking to the old bad habits.

  5. Illustrative PAP-MIW Joke
    -------------------------

    Q: How do Millionaires-In-White say "fuck you" in Singapore?

    A1: "Your HDB flat is affordable."
    A2: "What do you think?"

    A3: "GST is to help the poor"
    A4: "Your HDB flat is subsidized."

    A5. "The next generation have equal opportunities to shine from education, housing, healthcare and so forth"

    I encourage Sinkies to add on other Answers to this joke.

  6. It's a good thing, actually, that there is this NatCON. Mark my words, this charm offensive can easily turn sour, because there is no sincerity, and they have lost the trust of many. So let them continue, for 1 year or more...oodles of time for them to trip themselves up, and piss off the people, including the fence-sitters. See what happened to Lawrence Wong - a self-inflicted casualty!

    Honestly, I can't wait for Teo Chee Hean and Grace Fu to start their conversation. Remember the Reuben Wang incident and the negative (for them) outcome? They are putting themselves in the spotlight where we can judge their character and competence. You said it yourself, "Isn't it crazy for PAP to want a conversation?" And it gives Netizens plenty of fuel to fire away. The drawback is who's gonna pay for it! What do you think?

  7. Kind of pity the MIW...

    So many certified on paper ONLY intelligent folks...so suppose to be talented...

    Past precendent historically has show those so callled Ming scholars who pass the imperial examinations are one of the pivotal causes of the dynasty fall in the end...

    You can show u have intelligence on a piece of paper...but true wisdom...

    MIW will never be able to secure true wisdom....because 1st...they cannot accept the truth...and 2nd..they do not understand how fragile a human being is....and last they do not see mankind as a whole and as a species but as something to keep in "slavery" so the few useless elite/uppity assholes can live the "life"....

    a life of no substance...a undead kind of life...

    We don't need to do anything...why...because the MIW are already doing it to themselves with their in-breeding and i fark myself and allow others of their same breeding to fark them too...

    So let's sit back and prep some pop corn with a soda...enjoy these witless self pawned leetard "intelligent" but proven otherwise idiots do their thing.

    Silly but true.

  8. Feed Me To The Fish,

    you must sympathize them for not inviting bloggers and alternate party to the forum.

    Why ? Can you imagine the critical bloggers and alternate party who are asked to become actor and actress as part of National Wayang Show and to ask prepared-made question that PM Lee and cronies prepared ? Will not the bloggers blog about the wayang exposing the national scam ? If bloggers expose them, then how to have more national wayang coming our ways ?

    The show must go on.

    Now imagine just dialogue take place

    Wayang director; Ok bloggers, we need your cooperation. know your right question to ask. Choose one from the script, and don't try to be funny ok. This is not a wayang because you are on national show.

    bloggers: What said you ? We are bloggers not actors. Why must we wayang on the show ? Trying to be nominated for Grammy Award, is it ?

  9. Agree with Anno 12.19 that the lack of sincerity is going to make this conversation useless. The fact that executive interference already started well before any conversation gives us a clear idea that nothing will work. Just another committee to justify government policies.

  10. Mr Fish, take it easy, ok. We don't want to add your heart (attack), to Ah Loong's hope and home.

    Congratulating themselves that the discussions have "kicked off to a good start" is only pulling the wool over their own eyes. Let them live with this delusion, the denouement will hit them the harder. Except for the converts, who participate to hear things that they want to hear, or try to steer the agenda their way, there are many citizens who are now better informed, who are now not so easily conned.

    So, like one of the commentators said, let the show go on, let's sit back and enjoy the show. After all, what have we to lose.

  11. "Until recently when Junior Lee (Prime Minister of Singapore) approved the building of at least two casinos to raise government revenue, Lee has also maintained a personal policy against gambling, although sweepstakes such as “4D” and “Toto” were allowed. In his speech as Minister Mentor, despite a proposal from Stanley Ho to operate a floating casino in Marina Bay, Lee angrily responded: “No, over my dead body!” He was also against the proposal to have Formula One racing in Singapore." unquote

  13. It took Apple's CEO only 1 week to admit a mistake.

    Apple CEO: Agreed, We Blew It With Maps
    http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/the-exchange/apple-ceo-agreed-blew-maps-135536339.html

    Only 1 week, and Apple's CEO says sorry.
    Did not even have a National Conversation with consumers to find out what consumers want in the next 10 years.

    Contrast with our Millionaire Ministers.
    Who never admits a mistake.
    Except to say; "tweak", "re-calibrate" and etc.
    Act blur and hold National CONversation to find out what we want in next 10 years.

    As if they don't know what we want.
    They just have no intention of giving it to us.

  14. What is there to talk about in the NC when they have preset decisions with whatever they deem right and good for themselves. It's just unbelievable when they insist a 6 million population !!! It's just unbelievable and outright shameless and heartless!

  15. This NC is only talk shop. Talk all you want and they do what they like. Waste time lah.
