SINGAPORE: Senior residents in Teck Ghee were greeted with some early festive cheer on Saturday (Jan 21) morning when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong visited the area and handed out red packets ahead of Chinese New Year.

About 459 needy elderly from the ComCare and Teck Ghee Meal Voucher programmes were given red packets, or hongbaos, containing cash and supermarket vouchers at the ward’s annual event. Residents also received four bottles of chicken essence and mandarin oranges each.

Mr Lee, who is MP for the area, said that he hoped the gifts would bring the residents “some new year cheer”.

“This year has been (the) Year of the Monkey. The monkey has been quite naughty. Next year in the Year of the Rooster, I hope it brings us good luck, good fortune and a good future.

"So today, we have some hongbaos for everybody and I hope it bring you some new year cheer, and will help you to be healthy, well and successful in the year ahead,” he said.

After the event held at Teck Ghee Primary School, Mr Lee visited two food centres and wet markets in the division, while posing for photos and handing out red packets to residents.

70% voted in the cabinet so that these old fogies can get their yearly chicken wings! You don't have the wisdom to understand the logic because you are stupid!

Damn disgraceful & insincere behaviour to give angpows in exchange for votes. The biggest national ang pow is to downsize the bloated bureaucracy & their super high wage bill & give regular aid to the old & needy.

Remember the PAP burning case which happened in angmo kio. The problem was caused when PAP MP Seng Han Thong only gave out 20 hong baos when there were 200 needy lesser mortals attending the event. So just imagine how the 180 "lesser mortals" must have felt at
getting nothing.

PM Lee must have learned from the experience because he gave out 459 hong baos. :wink:

What I found funny is tha this thick skinned MP (Seng Han Thong) eventually lost out to the ass doctor Koh Poh Koon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seng_Han_Thong
