Hardwarezone forumers took turns to poke fun at DPM Teo with
some coming up with “excuses” in defence of him.
168168 wrote cheekily:
“He is only trying to be as productive as possible.
attending parliament and sleeping at the same time. 
“
abcgoodyabc added:
“He is in deep thought. must close eyes to avoid
distractions. millions of thoughts are running thru his brain.
thoughts like how to get in more FTs.”
Lao_Funker implored netizens to be more
“understanding”:
“Wah rao, u all be more understanding can, lissening to Wong
Kan Seng talk can make anyone fall asleep.”
DPM Teo Chee Hean has just been appointed to chair the
newly-formed National Productivity and Continuing Education Council
and one of the first things he did was to praise his own party for
the “good progress” made previously:
“We have made good progress in the past in our productivity
drive and that is why we have been able to move our economy forward
and have good jobs for many Singaporeans. But this is a constant
effort and we have to renew and re-double our efforts,” he was
quoted as saying in Channel News Asia.
His subordinate Minister of State for Defence Koo Tsai Kee was
quick to proclaim him as the “best person” to lead the productivity
drive as the SAF has been “practising productivity all this while”
under DPM Teo’s leadership:
“The SAF, despite its manpower constraints, has been able to
face up to a widening range of security threats in recent years
under Defence Minister Teo….And I am not saying this because he’s
my boss,” he said in Parliament lately.
DPM Teo shouldn’t be blamed for sleeping in Parliament. After
all, it’s the same old “wayang” again and again. He can well afford
to have a good sleep so that he can muster enough energy to think
of how to boost Singapore’s “productivity” later on.
