Sinkies shocked DPM Teo did not know Konfrontasi Story by heart

[Confuseous]

Singaporeans from all walks of life with varying levels of general knowledge are in a state of shock.

This after they read a Facebook update by deputy prime minister Teo Chee Hean saying he “learnt a lot” from watching Channel NewsAsia‘s documentary, Days of Rage: Konfrontasi.

They expressed their disappointment that the deputy prime minister doesn’t know these things by hard and has to learn about a pivotal aspect of Singapore’s violent nation-building history only this late in his life now.

One Singaporean, Zhen Chong Ming, said: “I can’t believe our deputy prime minister only learnt about the historical facts of Konfrontasi only now. Shouldn’t he be privy to all the details considering that he is running this country?”

“Why is he learning a lot only now from watch a CNA programme? This is disturbing.”

At press time, it is unclear how many members of parliament have also learnt a lot from the CNA documentary or missed it completely, which means they learnt nothing.

Yah lah, you've learnt a lot from Lionel De Souza.

And he has learnt a lot from you too.

Just how much useless can Teo CHee Hean gets in the eyes of Singaporeans I really don't know. He's an absolute wash-out! So if CNA didn't run that program, he knows fuck-off about Konfrontasi and he is the DPM!!! See how LKY picks his men and pushed the PAP really deep into the deep shithole.

He does know that, we became a Republic in 1965...he raised the flag in school, when he was the head prefect....other than that, he does not know the MacDonald House bombing..tsk!, tsk, tsk!..maybe he does not even know the May 13, 1969 riots in KL & we had curfew also...but we are rest assured, he knows, how much he was paid...for a person who was born & live through our formation years...he certainly does not our HISTORY!, SHOCKING! indeed.

They will tell you, all these are isolated incident, including the Hock Lee Bus Riots, for it is paramount to know, "our dear leader", had brought us from 3rd world to 1st world...anything else does not matter & are "isolated"...(hear only the good things).

What if TCH were to say he "learnt nothing new"?

A rear admiral in the Navy does not know the intricate details of one of the most dangerous periods in Singapore's history???

If he has not studied the past during his tenure as navy commander, how is the RSN going to defend Singapore in the future?

Of course, you defend by stealth. That's what submarines are for. Some things are better left unseen.

Did Kee Chiu learn anything?

He learnt to be grateful.

Why is there a need? When PAP is "the best government in the world", nobody will dare attack Singapore.

Only thing he knows, or he thinks he knows, is that LKY build Singapore from seafood village and swamps.
One more other thing he knows is how to laugh on the way to his fucking bank.

And how to fuck and tiew and kan the stinkies arseholes all up up and readyfor him to tiew and fuck and kan regardless if they are babies or grand mother grand father.

PAP WILL FUCK AND TIEW AND KAN ALL STINKIES REGARDLESS OF SEX OR AGE

This is not the shocking part as far as I am concerned. If he had a background in accounting or some other subject like that, he could be excused for not knowing about the Konfrontasi. But this jackass was the MInister of Defence for 8 years!! How can you be the minister of defence and not be knowledgeable about the previous armed conflicts that your own country has gone thru? Amazing. Consider that he was commissioned as an Officer as early as 1973, which is a mere 7 years after the end of the Konfrontasi. He went through the SAF Command Staff college, as well as serve on the Joint Staff, and yet he does not know about the Konfrontasi? DId they not teach him these things during the training? Was it not required reading? I would think many tactical lessons could be derived from the Konfrontasi, including repelling enemy airborne incursions, 5th column saboteurs, etc.

There is no better illustration of why the region's armed forces think that the SAF is a joke. Indonesians can name all their warships with controversial names if they choose, but they know the SAF only looks good on paper but are let by idiots who are only good in studying.

 

[blackmondy]

Count Teo Chee Bye some slack.

A rear admirer will never know what a confrontation is.

 

[spotter542]

C'mon people , these scums are already paid millions not knowing how to run the country well
What more can you expect from them

That was another minister, the one who's enjoying his retirement at Swettenham Rd.

.. but at least now I think he learnt that Singapore has a very long coastline
