    So was he telling all of us a blatant lie ?

    1. MOM Minister has to rely on MSM for the employment figures.
      Because if he uses his own MOM figures, the numbers may tell a different story.
      Maybe 80% of jobs went to foreigners?

  7. Go figure why our greedy government aka pap-controlled government want to go into money-making business.

    http://www.tremeritus.com/2012/11/20/gic-tries-to-use-paper-companies-to-evade-taxes-and-bypass-korean-laws/

    because they have all the advantages and benefits of doing business here due to political power. Evading taxes through creative accounting and kangaroo policies only avail to the govt-related money-making business here, and nowhere else .

    It is well-known that kangaroos who exploited the Sinners here, try to do likewise in other countries through improper means and endup as DISGRACEFUL.

    It is not like it is new to us.

  8. It runs in the family. Some call it a curse, others refer to it as heaven sent.

    Yet some call it politics at its best.

    The day of reckoning is near and the hangman's noose swings ready.

  9. PAP-MIW Joke: Harry Goes To Hell
    ----------------------------------
    Well, one day, Harry Lee found out he wasn't immortal, because he died and went straight to Hell.
    He was met by his old friend, the Devil, who reminded him of his pact. Harry tried to argue, but the Devil had much better legal skills and unfortunately the part in the contract about selling one's soul in order to rule a country was air-tight and binding.

    So the Devil made Harry a concession. "Well I have to put you through Eternal Torment, but since you're an old friend and someone after my own heart, I'll allow you your choice of punishment. Come see what your political rivals are going through."

    He took him to the first cell, where Chee Soon Juan was starving away, chained up, just inches away from a sumptuous banquet.
    "That'll teach him for going on hunger strikes," grinned Harry, but declined this punishment.

    The next cell had Chiam See Tong strapped to a table with his mouth open while a wild goose above walked around, crapping.
    "Serves him right, but not for me," said Harry.

    The Devil opened the door to the last cell. J B Jeyaretnam was naked, chained to a post, while a Catherine Lim in leathers was forced to perform fellatio on him.
    "What kind of punishment is that?" ejaculated Harry, "But in any case, I'll take it!"

    "Sure?" asked the Devil.
    "Absolutely," replied the former Senior Minister of a tiny island.
    "OK, in you go," ordered the Devil, as a few henchmen started to strap Harry Lee and bring him into the cell.

    Looking into the cell, the Devil shouted, "Right, Catherine, we've found your replacement, you can come out now!"

  10. http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Lee_Hsien_Loong

    I think the following from PM Lee can share the cake:

    "Instead of spending my time thinking what is the right policy for Singapore, I'm going to spend all my time thinking what's the right way to fix them, to buy my supporters votes, how can I solve this week's problem and forget about next year's challenges?"

    "You put out a funny podcast, you talk about bak chor mee. I will say mee siam mai hum..."
    Very similar in rhythm and tempo to this ditty from Alice In Wonderland, a fairy tale : The time has come, the walrus said, to speak of many things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.
    Quite the poet or rapper is our PM. About fairy tales...

    The Kingdom of Lanfang is fast becoming Animal Farm. This menagerie has talking hens and horses, jumping cows, flying pigs, one-eyed dragons, deaf frogs, daft dogs, meek sheeples, under-age chickens, pigeon holes-in-the-sky, kangaroo ...., and hordes of aliens. LOL.
