PAP regime targets Singaporeans for cock up:
By Eugene Yeo
In the aftermath of the Geylang Serai food poisoning fracas, PAP
leaders have been quick to point the finger at Singaporeans in
unison.
Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong urged Singaporeans to view hygiene
as part of gracious behaviour.
‘If you have poor hygiene, spitting in public places,
littering, food all over the place, rats running around the market,
that’s very ungracious
behaviour,’ he said. (read article here)
A few days later, Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan chipped in:
“This is a serious problem. But as consumers ourselves, I
think, requiring that Singaporeans raise their standards of
hygiene, personal as well as public hygiene, I think that is a
continuous challenge. That we must always remind ourselves to
do.”
Mr Khaw said food
handlers, in particular, bear a heavy
responsibility to ensure such incidents do not
recur. (read article here)
And now Denise Phua had this to say to Singaporeans:
“”The public hygiene system is not just the job of the
government, or the NEA, but also it is very important that all of
us, NEA, stallholders and the public must play a part in sustaining
this system. (read article here)
“And we should not do it just because there is a Geylang Serai
Indian rojak incident. We should do it because it is the right
thing to do, and because this is what Singapore is meant to be -
clean, safe and gracious”.
Did these PAP leaders realize that when they point their finger
at us, three of their own fingers are pointing backward at
themselves?
Why are
Singaporeans being blamed for every major blunder, big and small?
Did we vote for these first world politicians just to shift the
responsibility to us whenever they screw up?
Since according to Denise Phua, all of us must play a role in
sustaining the public hygiene system, then both the people and the
government should take equal blame for the lapses in public
hygiene. Why should only Singaporeans be blamed for the tragedy? Is
NEA completely free from fault too?
This is not fair. You can’t just have your cake and eat it.
Period. The PAP should remember who their paymasters really
are.
We pay them to do a proper job, not to abdicate responsibilities
to us. If we are to be responsible for every damned thing big and
small, then the PAP government should jolly well outsource all its
ministries to the private firms. At the very least we can be
assured they will not treat us with such disrespect and
contempt!
Denise Phua said food sellers have a moral duty to ensure food
sold must be clean and safe. Now shouldn’t the government
has a moral duty too to ensure that the food sellers maintain the
standards of food hygiene and deliver the
goods?
When things
are going well, the PAP takes all the credit and demand us to pay
them exorbitant salaries as a reward, but when they screw up big
time, we are required to take the buck for them. Where is the
logic?
Till now, we have yet to hear a government agency admitting its
mistakes which have been made obvious for all to see. NEA and MOH
have taken the Indian rojak man to court as if he alone is
responsible for the tragedy. The market’s management
committee have been conspicuous by its stunning silence so
far.
Are the stallholders expected to clean the entire premises and
eradicate the rats on their own? Does NEA expect them to buy their
food hygiene decals from Beach Road and display them
themselves?
Singaporeans are ungracious and dirty the place everywhere they
go. The hawkers have failed to adhere to standards of food and
environmental hygiene. The government has made no mistakes and can
do nothing wrong.
Is this the message the PAP is trying to send across to
Singaporeans?
Don’t go around preaching to Singaporeans that we should be
gracious when you are not gracious enough to even acknowledge your
role in the fiasco.
The Indian rojak man shouldn’t be made to bear the brunt of
public fury on his own so that the PAP can be extricated from
the quagmire they are stuck in.
The negligent
committee members and errant NEA officers must be hauled up to
court together with him in order for justice to be seen as
done.
The advisor to the temporary market committee Dr Ong Seh Hong
should be censured publicly for sleeping on his job. Is he made an
advisor just to wayang? Shouldn’t he be informed of the maintenance
of the market? Even if he was genuinely kept in the dark, he could
have easily visited the market himself.
What’s the point of turning up at the funerals of the victims to
console their families when the tragedy could be prevented much
earlier through vigilance and proactivity on the ground? How could
nobody from the CCC detect the decrepit state of the market and the
many fat rats running all over during the past three years? This is
most unbelievable!
It’s high time
the PAP stop playing the blame game. They should not bite the hands
which feed them. We are feeding them to run the country and not
spit at us to cover up for their own inepitude and
uselessness.

PAP likes to find fault with Singaporeans when they themselves
are the most worthless and useless people I can find.
Wo PUI.
