Indonesia’s “Third World” President disagrees with the truly wayang “First World” Towkay for his strong-headed but wrong-headed non-apology to the hawkers. He advises the Hammerrhoid Towkay to apologise to the hawkers for his mismanagement and dishonesty over the cleaning dispute.

The “Third World” President shares his wisdom with the “First World” Towkay:

Saying ‘sorry’ does not mean the Hammerrhoids is afraid of the hawkers and the PAP dogs.

SBY said during a press conference at Halim Perdanakusuma airport in East Jakarta:

The fact is that the cleaning of the hawker centre is managed by the ‘good office’ of the Hammerrhoid Town Council, so those ‘good MPs’ should take responsibility and saying sorry in that context, to me, is not excessive

The enormously magnanimous and widely respected “Third World” leader continues to counsel the stubborn, unrepentant, vengeful and petty “First World” Towkay:

At the same time, I said that what was happening at the Bedok hawker centres may not be intentional and the Hammerrhoids may not have the intention to trouble its hawkers.

Quoting conversations in social media, SBY said that there have been misconceptions among the Hammerrhoid zombies that the “First World” Hammerrhoid leadership is afraid of its hawkers if they were to issue an apology:

There is no ... political leader or political party that should be afraid of their hawkers, constituents, residents and voters.

The Indonesian “Third World” President reminded the Hammerrhoid “First World” Towkay that the hawker centre problem had a clear context and asked him not to involve other issues:

I am telling you firmly that, in terms of hawker centres’ functioning, hawkers’ integrity, and other patrons’ and constituents’ interests, there must never be a compromise.

- SBY was quoted as saying by The Jakarta Post. He stressed that the good hawkers and good patrons in AHPE Town would keep struggling to defend their rights and integrity against the ‘good office’ of the Hammerrhoid Town Council.
