Gahmen: Singapore Still in ‘Golden
Period’
by K.K. Cheow
The Prem Binister just said that he doesn’t think the world will be
in a global recession and the current economic crisis may only last
a year. But then the Gahmen also said last time that Singapore
won’t be affected because our economy was ‘decoupled’. How are we
to really believe what they say? After all, just last year, the
Minister Dementor said that Singapore was in a “golden
period”.
But as the economy sinks to even newer depths, the Gahmen still
stands by M&M Lee’s words.
According to a spokesman for his office, Mr. Lau Lee Khong, “As you
know, M&M Lee is never wrong about things. Likewise, despite
the worsening economy, the country is still experiencing a ‘golden
period.’”
It all depends, said Mr. Lau, on how we understand what “golden
period” means, specifically how we interpret the word
“period”.
“If it means a glorious, wonderful time of progress and prosperity,
then I can see how some people might get the wrong impression,” he
conceded.
However, he said, “If we understand the term "golden period" to be
a time when we’re bleeding gold every bleddy
month, then you’ll know that M&M Lee was right all
along.”
This interpretation of “golden period” is especially true, Mr. Lau
explained, when you have a country full of “rich chee b**s”.
M&M Lee was not available to comment personally because
doctors are still trying to fathom how he could have a pacemaker
installed when he has no heart.
