Acting like the saint he is obviously not, Tapan Rao maintains "the political dimension had not crossed his mind" when he penned the missive with a grandiose stroke of generosity. Now he wants to make it crystal clear that "the Rotary Club is not making any donation to any political party." Which happens to be quite true, since the letter spells out clearly that the "Rotary Club of Singapore will be happy to work with you and your team" to "raise funds necessary to retrofit toilets." If Desmond had expected a fat check for $100K to land on his desk ("Choo's toilet upgrade project gets $100,000 donation", ST Breaking News, 24 May 2012), he will be in for another rude surprise. Coming so soon right after his dashed hopes of May 26th, that should be enough make a grown man cry.
Tan demanded to know, "Now that PAP Desmond lost to WP Png in the election, what is the Rotary Stand?" Sorry, Mr Former Presidential Candidate, the offer was good only for "work with you and your team", as in Desmond, not Png. As an ex-PAP backbencher, surely he knows how the game is played.

oh dear, hope this is not yet another project flushed down the er... tubes
ReplyDeleteBirds of a feather flock together. Doesn't matter if he wears black or white pants, the underwear is still the same colour. Btw, if you are caught with your pants down, don't pretend everyone is blind lah.
ReplyDeleteWell said.
DeleteHuh, so much for not following the American style of politics i.e. lobbying, seems pretty close to that though.
ReplyDeleteLook carefully at the picture.
ReplyDeleteBlack or white, these guys look the same to me.
Perhaps the Rotary can live up to their motto "Service Above Self" by lobbying the PAP government to finally upgrade Hougang. Did they mention that they had been doing this for the people in the last 82 years?!
ReplyDeleteIts sad to note that these people still take Singaporeans as idiots. Don't we all know this is a [lot to increase DC's votes at the most crucial time of the campaign? Even school children will know its a wayang tactic. Rotary Club has lots to explain to its members and the public at large. Is it really apolitical? Come on! Be clean and truthful.
ReplyDeleteNow that picture alone truly tells us how saintly they can be !
ReplyDeleteOnly to have the Shitty Times reported today how this same DPM condemned the freedom of the press in UK for being controlled by those with vested interests ?
Hey, are you not shooting your own leg ? Does this man have more brawns than brains in his head ? So is this how far fetched the intelligence of our Ministers can be ?
And talking about integrity, can you honestly come clean to us the hard truth as to who the responsible person was who made that horrible decision to have Mr. Brown sacked over a mere article about rising costs ?
ROTARY
ReplyDeleteRenovate Old Toilet Apolitically. Really. Yeah.
Under 40 years of rule by pap, singaporeans no longer creative. The best they can come up with? Put put and shi shi into the all brand new sai kang. Flush down the jamban leow.
DeleteWitholding upgrading is a punishment to Hougang for voting opposition. It hasn't worked, nor ever will.
ReplyDeleteROTARY 2016
Retribution On The Assholes Re Year 2016.
Did these rich elites still think the public is moron ? So many coincidences can only happen for PAP. Let show them who is the real moron by pressing them for the truth.
ReplyDeleteIt also make you wonder if singapore rotary club goes by the earlier motto:
"One profits most who serves best" => Surely one profit most if serve the best interest of ruling party. Anyone agree please Kee Chiu
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_International
"Rotary's primary motto is "Service above Self"; an earlier motto, "One profits most who serves best"."
Is this another Government Organized NGO?
ReplyDeleteA GONGO?

gonna give it back to rotary
what you see is what you get
If Rotary Clubs were really sincere to help the needy, they could do it during non-election time or do it quietly. Why need the publicity? Must bang your drums to show you are caring meh? So lame. Now DC lose. Double lame.
ReplyDeleteCan somebody from Hougang please update;
ReplyDeleteHas the following been cancelled yet;
a.free porridge?
b.free hearing aids?
c.toilet upgrades?
Why only give free porridge and hearing aids for Hougang? Just lower or exempt gst for daily necessities to benefit all singaporeans lah. Let foreigners pay gst since they are invited by pappy to come.
DeleteMr Tapan Kumar Rao did a very stupid thing involving the Rotary clubs which have many kind spirited members.
ReplyDeletePAP had very little chance to win Hougang,but was given a super opportunity to show its sincerity,and to prove to the voters of Singapore that it can redeem itself,but the many apple polishers did not give PAP this opportunity.
It was a missing opportunity.
"Mr Tapan Kumar Rao did a very stupid thing involving the Rotary clubs which have many kind spirited mem bers."
ReplyDeleteThe stupid stunt of Tapan now result in Rotary club deeply despised and having bad reputation of collaborating with PAP politically. It look like it is now become a club where the rich and famous join because they want to profit more by working with PAP. Nevermind if these are true or not, Tapan has himself to blame for creating such perception.
People should stop donating to such organization for its political association with ruling party.
Agree. Unless there is a good explanation from Lion.
DeleteErrr if members are rich why need donation?
DeleteWhy upgrade if it still stinks?
ReplyDeleteDont think any upgrades will happen since it was meant for dc if he win.
Deletei was very angry when i read that in the papers. i volunteer at their events a couple of times a year, and i swear that will be the last time!
ReplyDeleterotary club can ask pa grass root leaders to help them out for all i care! damnit!
Rotary does serve the needy irrespective of their ethnics, religion and political affiliation. The intended kind assistance offerred by Mr Tapan came in bad timing.
