Following the greatest leader PM Lee
I will be surprised if whole year no one crying
the apprentice has become the master..... !!!
after mastering his father skill in sheding croco tears, he even outsmarted his father by fainting right in front of public TV 'live' on the most important day of the country!
thereafter, his own apprentice also did that stunt . . . . its just too bad he miscalculated the timing when reporters came to late to film his stint 'live'.....
however, he took the chance to continue his drama in hospital . . . . . so his DPM title stayed with him!
