The high quality of civil servant sector brains in Singapore has
attracted unwanted attention from tribes of head hunters on the
island of Papua New Guinea.
We are very concerned about the development, says Deputy Defense
Minister Hock Kian Peng, already several tribesmen have been
stopped at the border. We knew they were head hunters because they
were wielding spears and shields, had nose rings and a string of
shrunken heads round their neck."
Exactly how they are getting to Singapore is unclear, but
apparently they are traveling in canoes, island hopping along the
Indonesian Archipelago.
Good heads can fetch a very high price in Papua New Guinea, says
tribesman Micari Motubo, but unfortunately, they are hard to find
in Papua New Guinea so we have to go elsewhere for the best
quality. And we hear Singaporeans give really good head."
Fearing a brain drain, Minister Hock informed Parliament that no
civil servant heads are reported missing but emphasized that we
cannot afford to lose a single head. They are all needed here in
Singapore and the growth of the economy is at risk if too many good
heads are taken away to other countries."
"Phew!" said Mr. Chin Pang Sim, a civil servant at the Ministry of
Manpower. "Luckily we're not known for having hearts, otherwise
heart hunters will also come after us."
When the news was reported that head hunters were after our 'sewer
serpents', most Singaporeans reacted by saying, "Your head,
lah!"
