This is definition lifted from dictionary.com.
[b]leech
noun
1. any bloodsucking or carnivorous aquatic or terrestrial worm of
the class Hirudinea, certain freshwater species of which were
formerly much used in medicine for bloodletting.
2. a person who clings to another for personal gain, esp. without
giving anything in return, and usually with the implication or
effect of exhausting the other's resources; parasite.
3. Archaic. an instrument used for drawing blood.
I will now proceed to investigate the appropriateness of usage of
this term with respect to each of the main players in this
case.
Derek Wee ("one of many wretched, undermotivated,
overassuming leeches in our country" as alleged by Wee Shu
Min):-
Being a productive tax paying member of the Republic of Singapore,
it is unlikely that any of the definitions are relevant despite Wee
Shu Min's heinous allegations.
Verdict: Not guilty.
Wee Shu Min:-
Non productive member of society who doesn't contribute to tax
revenues. Off spring of a reasonably affluent politician who has
been granted a scholarship at tax payers' expense. Obviously, these
tax revenues should have been put to better use by funding a more
intelligent, less emotionally retarded person who otherwise would
not have the necessary resources to finance their tertiary
education and would more likely contribute back to society instead
of engaging in mindless rantings and diatribes.
Verdict: Guilty of being a leech on 3
counts.
Wee Siew Kim:-
Back bencher MP who rode into parliament via the coat tails of the
incumbent PM through the flawed GRC system. Like all other PAP MPs
who sailed into office without having to contest in any election,
he is of course drawing a huge salary (by world standards) despite
having to contribute nothing. As yet, he is still unknown for any
significant contributions to society. Best known for publicly
defending the bigoted views of his own daughter while likely being
the party guilty of inculcating such values privately.
Verdict: Guilty of being a leech on 2
counts.

blog :
mom's friend sent her some blog post by some bleeding stupid
18-year old singaporean called Elite- wee (WHY do all the idiots
become Elites, why?!) whining about how singapore is such a
paradise, how elites (ie, 83 of them and more, all wearing white)
leeched from their well-paid jobs, how the pool of singkie peasants
(dismissively chucked between inverted commas) is really a tsunami
that will consume them all (no actually he didn't say that, he
probably said THAT'S THE BRUTAL TRUTH, DEARIE.), how the reason why
everyone wants elite kids is that they're the only bunch in this
world immuned to fragile ricebowls, how the government really needs
to save elites from inevitable boredom of wearing white but they
aren't because they are peanuts-shoved-up-ass elites who control
how their wardrobe works, yadayadayadayada.i am inclined - too
much, perhaps - to dismiss such people as crackpots. stupid
crackpots. the sadder class. too often singaporeans - both the
neighborhood poor and 66.6% socialites who sell their souls for
upgraded lifts - kid themselves into believing that our society,
like most others, is compartmentalized by breeding. ridiculous. we
are not a tyranny of the academically capable and the clever, we,
the peasants are the upper class, their masters with the whip.sad
Wee attracted more than 50 comments praising him for his poignant
views, egging in a chorus of rejoinders that climax at the
accusation of lack of peasant intelligence in the form of good
spelling and grammar because his all-too-true views had been
rejected by the singkie forum. while i tend to gripe about how we
only have one functioning 83-yr old elite in the cabinet (he issues
all visions for Singapore), i think the main reason for its lack of
recognition was that his incensed diatribe was written in pathetic
little scraps that passed off as sentences, with poor spelling and
no grammar. there was also a total lack of sensitivity to peasant
feelings.WEE, wee, wee darling, how can you expect to have an iron
ricebowl or a solid future if you cannot empathise accordingly? to
become the top drawer in the cabinet, one need to suck ass with the
right sensitivity level. didnt your father teach you this?
if you're an elitist, life will give you less balls. that's just
how things go. there's no point in lambasting the peasants for
making your paradise one that is, i quote, "far too intellectually
unstimulating lacking good spelling and grammar". it's the same
everywhere. yes mediocrity exists, and it is sad, but most of the
time if people like you are preferred over others, it's because you
made it so. it's so sad when people like Elite-wee lament the kind
of world that singapore will be if we make it so uncertain for
them. go be friggin dictator in another peesai, if uncertainty of
success offends you so much - you will certainly be proclaimed a
talent and a visionary. More so if you are a
knuckledusters-wearing-bully in a cul de sac, which, given your
ball-less elitist penchant, i doubt. then again, it's easy for me
to say. my future isn't in leeching on the system but i guess right
now it's a lot brighter than most elite's. Wee will read this and
brand me as an 18-year old peasant, one of the quitters who will
chabo the country. go ahead. the world is about winners and losers.
it's only sad when people who could be winners are marginalised and
oppressed by the elites. is dear Wee repentant? has dear Wee been
denied a right of reply? has dear Wee been forced into shutting his
blog? has dear Wee had his political career massacred by the
government?i should think not. dear Wee is one of many wretched,
undermotivated, overassuming leeches in our country, and in this
world. one of those who would prefer to be waxing lyrical about how
his myriad talents are being abandoned for a life of serving the
peasants, instead of earning a decent, stable living as a Elite
professional. it's not even about being a representative of the
people. these shitbags don't want anything without "$$" and a
guaranteed risk-free career.
please, get your f*cking elite uncaring face off this tiny
dot.[/b]
Wah, she is getting more famous everyday.
