Goh Chok Tong used to be a people's man.
Not anymore.
'Majority of
Singaporeans not concerned about high ministerial pay' - Goh
Chok Tong
'Indeed, at this point
in time, the PAP is far more approachable than it was
before' - Goh Chok Tong
'Maybe in the past,
there were issues to be resolved and, of course, there was no time
to consult people and actions had to be taken' - Goh Chok
Tong
'In recent years,
you'll find that every policy is openly discussed ... before we
implement policies' - Goh Chok Tong
'Retrenchment is good
for singapore. If there is no retrenchments, then I worry' -
Goh Chok Tong
'If this is happening,
it is very serious...if the majority feel they don’t belong here,
then we have a fundamental problem' - Goh Chok Tong clueless
about ground sentiments
THEN WE HAVE HIS BIMBO TEAM MEMBER: TIN PEI
LING (dubbed ovalTin)
************************* Tin Pei Ling interview as new
candidate *************************
Interviewer: What’s your greatest regret? What’s the first
thing you wanted to do after you became a
candidate?
Tin Pei Ling: The greatest regret is that I didn’t
manage to bring my parents to Universal Studios before then,
because I, I foresee that in the upcoming days, it will be very
busy.
Er.. and because I have been in the grassroots, I
understand that the schedule for MPs.. the commitment is very
high.
So er.. at the moment, I’m not sure whether er.. when..
how soon can I bring my parents to Universal Studio because I did
promise them that I want to bring them there.. cos my mom is like,
quite excited over it.
So, um, I, I guess er, when there is a time, I
would, I would like to bring them.. there. Actually all this time
my.. my parents are very important to me. So...I must say I’m glad
that before this, I managed to bring them to Italy.. where my..
it’s somewhere that my father has always dreamed of going. So after
so many years of er.. working so hard to raise the family, I
managed to fulfill that wish.. and ......... I feel very great
about it.

A speech is something that can be crafted beforehand with
assistance. But Tin Pei Lin's replies to impromptu questions will
surely have to be a true depiction of her own egg-headed
standing.
What annoyed me most was that an unprepared candidate, could
potentially be getting a cushy salary (the figure of S$15000 was
thrown around on the internet) which is basically taxpayers money,
when there are people out there far more qualified in their
vocations who are only paid a fraction of that. I know a couple of
people who I would love to see as candidates – Au Waipang and
mrbrown for their intelligence, wit and most of all, compassion.
Tin Pei Ling is getting into parliament simply by teaming up with
Goh Chok Tong.
