In the east was a little red dot,
Once a one-man-one-vote democracy,
Where good men were elected by citizens
As their leaders to fight against injustice and inequity,
To serve people for the needs and aspirations with humility,
Alas once trusted and given such an opportunity,
These men sniffed at people's trust and claimed their
talents,
Through legalistic wrangling they tweak the laws,
They secured all powers over the legislative and judiciary,
And became haughty and **@#ey,
With overwhelming power they gave themselves the highest
salaries,
Selectively benchmarked only to few lottory winning CEOs
Who got to where they were through luck, capital risks,
And the most stringent evaluation selection process,
Not satisfied with their world's highest salaries,
That surpass even that of president of United States,
They still claimed highest was not enough,
They gave themselves highest bonuses and life-long fees,
And even double pays for retiring while working,
They taxed, recovered fullest costs and hoarded taxes as
surplus,
Then claimed such surpluses as their success,
Not satisfied with one-man-one-vote election system,
Which they said would lead to freak election,
They tweaked the election process into group representation or
GRC
Requiring candidates to form mini-government blocks,
Before they could stand for election,
That prevented best candidates to stand in single wards,
In name that would provide racial harmony,
In fact GRC gave them monopoly to cling on to power,
Atop such monopoly civil libel suits were used to sue anyone,
For speaking the truths till no one is standing on election
day,
Election day became the day to declare walk over,
With no contest in GRCs, they claim mandates
To tax, recover fullest costs with profiteering by GLCs and
HDB,
Some rebates were given on conservancy,
To pacify peasants and potential rebel,
Once election was over, GST and fees would be increased
From selling public housing built on lands paid by citizens,
Charged at market value at a little discount called subsidy,
Forever and ever there would be unending taxes,
To build surpluses claimed as success to pay the highest
salaries,
To prevent ministerial corruption or loss of talents,
Alas profiteering and surpluses could not be revealed,
But could be lost without news on souzhou or shin corp,
When lost they were not mistakes but long term investments,
Election goodies took care of all such unhappy memories,
Integrated resorts were invoked over vowed dead body,
Notwithstanding citizens' wages dropping back to 3rd world's.
Never mind many issues like the rising costs,
For they would proclaim which country had no rising costs,
For they would say every one makes mistakes,
One by one they would push away all mistakes,
By saying that People were the whinners,
They would claim recessions not their fault but
globalization,
They could not guarantee value-add economic restructuring,
They would give excuses like the little red dot had no
resources,
Forever and ever People should be grateful to their little red
dot
