What Would They Not Do To Put Him In A Good Light?

Above are 2 full pages of Straits Times' song and dance on PAP's Dr Koh in Punggol East. If only they would dedicate as much space to the alternative political parties especially Workers' Party, Singapore and Singaporeans would be in a happier state of being! To let WP, RP and SDA share only one page at A9 shows the bias that so often is.

Of all the reports by ST on 19 Jan 2013, what caught my attention was the article on this 80-year-old lady. With due respect to Madam Saleha Mohd Shah and her good intention, I am reminded of the following video.

I'm sure the following questions will tickle the minds of many:

1. Who initiated the move to get Mdm Saleha to speak on PAP's stage?
2. Is Mdm Saleha a member of PAP? If she is why is she not in "white"?
3. Was Mdm Saleha treated to a meal of 'nasi padang' before her appearance?

I think the good doctor is carrying his childhood sob story too far. Just what has kuning fish feeding seven members of his family and his poor mother eating fishbone got to do with:

• AIMGate;
• ministers' obscene salaries; 
• expensive public housing; 
• over-crowded trains and buses; 
• crazy importation of foreigners; 
• depressing wages and 
• high inflation ???

If this is the best that PAP and Dr Chopstcks can do to win East Punggolites over, I think WP will create another political first in Singapore. Having broken the world record of beating PAP in a GRC, WP will make history again by beating the ruling party in a 4-cornered fight!

If Dr Koh needs a 80-year-old lady to appear on stage to say, "He is not sombong (Malay for proud). He is no yayapapaya. He is very caring of the old, and touches old people's hearts", PAP must have lost the plot and are digging the bottom of the barrel to get some!

I'll be at Block 183C, Rivervale Crescent by 7pm tonight to de-stress myself, have a good time listening to reasons why we need more alternative voices in parliament rather than the same old same old worshipping of the Chopsticks Eating Kuning Fish!
