Chee to Go on Hungry Strike

After his plans to march from Speakers Corner to Parliament House
were thwarted by police, opposition politician Dr. Chee Soon Juan
has said that he intends to continue his protests by going on a
hungry strike.
This is not like the time where he went on a hunger strike while
still consuming glucose solution, said Singapore Democratic Party
spokesman Yew Soo Ler. This time, Dr. Chee will eat for democracy
because Singaporeans hunger for democracy. Specifically, he will
eat mee siam with hum.
Mr. Yew explained that the choice of dish was based on the Prime
Ministers recent gaffe where he criticized blogger Mr. Brown only
to shoot himself in the foot by saying mee siam mai hum (mee siam
without cockles). The Prime Minister showed how out of touch he
was with the citizens by ordering mee siam without hum. To show
that he is a man of the people, Dr. Chee will now order mee siam
with hum.
Surrounded by party supporters and plainsclothes police officers,
Dr. Chee proceeded from Speakers Corner at Hong Lim Green to Telok
Ayer Food Centre, where he made a beeline for the mee siam stall,
much to the surprise of stallholder Mohd Tampar bin Sambal.
I want mee siam, said Dr. Chee in a serious voice. Mee siam ai
hum.
To which his supporters began chanting, Ai hum, ai hum, ai hum! Ai
hum, ai hum, ai hum!
Adoi, remarked Mr. Tampar. Mengapa dia speaking to me in
Hokkien, when I am Malay?
A translator then informed Mr. Tampar that Dr. Chee wanted a plate
of mee siam, with cockles.
What cockles is he talking? asked Mr. Tampar. You orang cina,
all very strange. Last week also got one fler in a red shirt and
white pants come and order mee siam dowan hum. Now this fler want
hum. Want hum, dowan hum, alamak, mee siam mana ada hum?
Eventually, after a long standoff, Dr. Chee was served a plate of
mee siam, with hum purchased from the laksa stall nearby.
As he tucked into his dish, Dr. Chee raised a fist in the air and
intoned, I want to show the people of Singapore that unlike the
PAP, I can stomach the unpalatable truth.
At first, police officers tried to prevent Dr. Chee from consuming
his meal.
As a citizen, I have a right to open my mouth! Show me the law
which says I cannot eat mee siam with hum! Dr. Chee shot
back.
The police were at a loss, and one officer merely mumbled something
about mee siam with hum being against the laws of nature.
As it turned out, the statement was kind off prophetic as after his
fourth mouthful, Dr. Chee had to rush to answer the call of
nature.
This is the state of Singaporean democracy! he shouted as he
dashed off.
