Letter to PM
The third posting addressed to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is
from blogger FeedMeToTheFish
Dear Mr Prime Minister,
While you have your lymphoma, I have my share of heart attack and
ventricular fibrillation.
While you are concerned about your mum’s health, I had the
greatest understanding of the fragility of life and the
inevitability of death while taking care of my dad (as old as your
dad if he’s alive today) when he was down with his degenerative
disease.
While you were growing up as the son of a prime minister in big
but shabby Oxley Rise house (so said your sister [Link]), I was
growing up with 8 other siblings in a $25-per-month-rented-one-room
flat as the son of a Singapore Traction Company bus conductor
moonlighting as a pirate taxi driver so that his family could
survive.
You did Harvard and Cambridge and whatever you fancy, the best I
did was Senior Cambridge Certificate (today’s ‘O Level’
equivalent).
Today you are the highest paid politician in the whole wide
world earning $3.7m (excluding your BG and after-55-PM-pension),
I’m making do with about $24,000 per annum hawking my skills as a
self employed.
I have no pension and I’m not entitled to any of the benefits
which your PAP so often makes a song and dance about
at every election and/or Budget Statement.
Please do not tell me about my GST rebate as it’s
nauseating since the GST went to your salary too.
No, I’m not complaining of my state of being. Being rich and
happy is where your mind is at, not what you can suck out of
others!
As my kids can take care of themselves, $2,000 a month is enough
for me and my wife to have a simple comfortable life. My family and
I are blessed with what we are happy with!
How much is enough?
Enough for what?
It depends on the individual’s sense of value, contentment,
greed, sense of power and one’s one-upmanship. Does it feel good to
be paid 6 times the POTUS?
You tell me!
Though we are of about the same age, we were made differently. I
guess the only thing we have in common is that we are,
born-in-Singapore, Singaporeans.
As much as I’m a pauper compared to your riches, I’m delighted
that I do not have to bear the responsibilities that you do.
My wish for you is that you’d be blessed with grandfatherhood
which I’m most grateful for when my child gave birth to another
child.
When one loves life, when one truly cares and has the free will
to do so without the hindrance of position, power and face value,
one is always free . . . . . . . . even to blog until one is caught
I sincerely hope that the job you do now is the job that you
love, not the job imposed by your father or whoever.
Though I have been told by those who know you that you are not
as useless (ie. for the magic salary you pay yourself, people
expect magic performance too) and callous as you appear to be, I
still have my doubt.
From the pedigree that you were inseminated with (what with your
dad laughing again at dummies like me for not having university
education [Link]), I was shocked to hear of your “mee siam mai hum”
and “fix opposition and buy votes”. Which devil made you do
that?
You were silent for many days when Mas Selamat jalan.
You were silent for many days when Singaporeans were hurt by the
Lehman fiasco and toxic financial products.
You were silent for many days when Town Councils burned
themselves with Lehman too.
I have never written to politicians especially ministers level
as I know what I write doesn’t mean squat to them . . . just
another tiny voice in the wilderness.
However, I’m writing now to do my part as a Singaporean before I
die from my next heart attack.
Mr Lee, please say something!
Yes, before I’m fedtothefish, I hope that as highest paid prime
minister of the universe, you will do the gracious thing of
investigating why your PAP MP Dr Ong Seh Hong is in
such a fix right now with the Ren Ci CEO Ming Yi
saga.
Silence may be golden but your reticence in commenting on the
crucial happenings in Singapore lately is not helping you in your
job.
It is not helping people to “Staying Together Moving Ahead” It
makes a joke of your PAP manifesto. If you are still
at a loss on what to say, Singaporeans will be wondering, “WTF is
he doing?”
Please say something worthy of your salary and position for the
benefit of all Singaporeans on Ren Ci/Dr Ong’s issue.
Even if you were to tell us that “it’s not an issue at all as he
became whiter-than-white MP only after he cleared the loan”, we
would still be happier than to have you keep your mouth shut
again.
We look forward to it.
Thank you.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please rise for the Prime Minister of Singapore,
.......Please be seated....
Prime Minister Sir,
Thank you Angel,
Hello fellow Singaporeans,
I was having a massage therapy when my secretary informed me
about this message, well, i am both glad and sad to read it,
however, since you want to hear from me, so be it, afterall I am
paid to do so.
First, let not get personnal about family issues in regard to my
historical background and living condition, I am just glad to
see a gross income of a 2k man able to live in happiness with his
family in Singapore, so not much of worry over the lower income
peoples, they can survive these downtime with proudness. And I
bless them with more happiness to come down the road.
As you see, even people of the lower 20% group are able to post
such intellectually smart posting, very enlightening and
indeed quite well written, you should expect that the above 80%
must be very smart and wise, more so are the upper 20% rich class,
they are not easy to deal with, it not a job for the tom and dick
to handle, this isn't some Zimbalwee or Congo republican, this is
Singapore, 1st world status, constant attaining the nos 1 seaport
and airport of the world, one of the most vibrant economy in ASIA,
peace and harmony with top talents and smart peoples running the
show. If you want to govern this place, a 3.5millions paid per
annual may not justify that, even the lower class can challenge you
and therefore by right, you need to pay a PM at least
10millions per annual to take care of all these intelligent
peoples, but for the sake of my fellow citizens and my personnal
patriotism to Singapore, I can take a cut. You dun hv to envy my
paid, in actual fact, i am underpay, but as a PM, i got no unions
to fight me.
In the case of Ren Ci or Ren Yau cases or even Aware or Unaware
cases, let the courts and judges decide, they are paid to do the
job, not me, unless they dun perform, then maybe I will step in,
the society is governed by laws and orders, the usual is always
there, but if someone try to play the unusual, that is to break the
laws and orders, he/she have to face the music and answer for
himself/herself. Let those lawyers and judges do their jobs, if not
you paid them for what, shake legs?? And of course, as a PM, the
security of Singapore is my top priorty, Mat Selamat escape is a
mistake, action taken against the complacency and let move forward
to look for the man, if we keep going back to the blaming culture,
we are going nowhere. Let hold together, stay together and move on
with our chest high for Singapore.
"MEE Siam Mai Hum", I remember it was a NDP rally speech in the
University, I was trying to think out of the box to get the
audience attention, and i did it, even till today, most who
attended my speech are very attentive to me just waiting for me to
make something out of the box. You see, we need to be creative and
imaginative, let me ask you "Can Mee Siam go with Hum"?? Yes, why
not, if i wish to, i can just add in, we dun have to be so
stagnatisation in our mind and believe that only Laksa and Cha kway
teow got hum, why not mee siam, a new invention. But anyway, i
managed to get the sleepy audience and adversaries to their
attention. In another words, Listen when the PM talks.
Angel: Prime Minister Sir, your wife is waiting for you
PM: Oh!, so I hope that my speech can enlighten you all and wish
to see that you cast a vote on me in our election. Greatly
appreciated.
Angel: All rise, the Prime Minister will be leaving, all are to
remain seated until the PRIME MINISTER LEAVE. Dinner will be serve
with Prime Ribs and bakery from PRIME Deli, for the Muslim groups,
we will serve Indian Rojak. Thank you all for Coming.
Angel Wish all a very Good evening. Bye bye
