Mr Derek Wee, 35, a Singaporean who works for a multinational
corporation, had written in his blog on 12 Oct that he was
concerned about competition from foreign talent and the lack of job
opportunities for older workers here. He urged the Government to
understand Singaporeans plight.
On 19 Oct, Miss Wee, a second-year student on Raffles Junior
College Humanities Scholarship Programme, a daughter of MP Wee Siew
Kim, responded to him on her blog, calling him old and unmotivated
and said he was overly reliant on the Government.
In dismissing his view, she wrote:
Derek, Derek, Derek darling, how can you expect to have an iron
rice bowl or a solid future if you cannot spell?
Theres no point in lambasting the Government for making our
society one that is, I quote, far too survival of the fittest
.
If uncertainty of success offends you so much, you will certainly
be poor and miserable.
She concluded by telling Mr Derek Wee to get out of my elite
uncaring face.
