Going Gaga Doesn't Make It Right

Lady Gaga's take: "It seems fine for children"
Colonel Ong Tze-Ch'in, chairman of the NDP 2011 Show Committee, said: "We're in the process of working with the recording and publishing company to try to secure the rights to modify the lyrics and until then we will not perform the song." After all the negative vibes, they actually intend to pay good money to follow through with the awful "Fun Bag Song". What is it about army officer types and their absolute disconnect with feedback from the ground? Don't answer that one - that general in the Cabinet is a thousand times worse.

The lyrics for Bad Romance are pretty awful to start with:
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-roma-mamaa!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

Only a critically-acclaimed playwright can make it worse:
Oh o o o o o o o o
Time for the fun pack song
Oh o o o o o o o o
We like the fun pack song

Let’s start with the bag
That’s right, grab your bag
It’s the fun pack bag
Attack the fun pack

They could at least be more attuned to the political groundswell:
Oo-oo-oo-oo-Oooo-oo-oo-oo-Oo-oo-oo-oh!
I don't know what to say
Oo-oo-oo-oo-Oooo-oo-oo-oo-Oo-oo-oo-oh!
I now in parliament

There's nothing you can do!
About the cooling rule!
Time now to repent!
I now in parliament

What did PM Lee Hsien Loong say at the Fullerton Rally? "Well, we’re sorry we didn’t get it exactly right, but I hope you’ll understand and bear with us, because we’re trying our best to fix the problems." Putting Tin Pei Ling (MP, Marine Parade GRC) in the Home Affairs and Law Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) will fix her problems with the police report alright. The police report which was lodged against Ms Tin on 12 May 2011 for allegedly posting a snide comment about her opponent Nicole Seah on her Facebook on ‘Cooling-off’ day. Our sympathies go to Investigating Officer Inspector Diong Kok Leong of the Central Police Division, the humour is wearing thin.

  2. Looks like lately the ones who go against the law apparently are the ones most expected to uphold the law themselves. Will that Policeman and that
    Politician (PAP in short) cooperate and get away scot-free, it remains to be seen whether public justice will be done ?

  3. The people today will be different and they are no longer short memory. The people is watching this government. The government is better to act properly today. The old days of abuse have been history.

  4. Witty post. Let us not become weary in watching the activities of the government - it's a small act but it can make a difference
