Ah what the hell, call a spade a spade - it's Peanuts all bloody
over again.
Let's face it, the thinly-disguised monarchy in Singapore will
never see any value in understanding the ground-level view of
things - after all, why waste time worrying about such things when
you can be living it up instead?
So much for ministers' high salaries preventing corruption - the
only thing it's done is develop a new breed of crooks who think
they're royalty and that Joe Public's only there to fatten their
wallets. If Joe's got to break his back on one job only to be
retrenched when younger backs come along, why should the royals (or
their brats) give a flying f*ck?
Would they honestly care what the average person thinks of what
they say? Why should they when, unlike your average Singaporean,
their rice bowl has been cast in iron by the PAP?
