[h=2]PAP, the Scary Movie – produced by Keechiu Chan[/h]
July 14th, 2012 |

Major-General Chan Chun Sing
In an interview conducted and reported by the TODI Paper on June 30th, Keechiu Chan Chun Sing was reported to have “noted that the PAP leadership is still ‘thin’, DESPITE THE INDUCTION OF HIMSELF…” and Education Ministry’s Ah Keat into the Cabinet after the General Election of 2011. How thick skin might that be for one to see himself a heavyweight while the rest of his colleagues, old and new inductees, are “still thin”?. In fact, his actual opinion about his teammates is, in his own words: “We have a VERY thin layer now and it is work in constant progress” – VERY THIN INDEED!
He also believes that the next generation of leaders are not yet put in place, and because of this, the current PM will be helming the party for another EIGHT years at least. He perceives the PM will continue to be PM for the next eight years until someone like him is ready to take over. It also means that the current crop of leaders from the PAP are novices, not yet ready for making big decisions in another eight years. Are we not doomed or what?
Without stopping to catch his own breath, he boasted that at “every election we bring in some, we retire some, so there’s always a fresh inflow of new blood, new ideas.” Yet, he was quick to contradict himself by suggesting that having a leader is not as important as having the party working as a team. Talk about creating group-think mentality.
What is noteworthy here is the notion presented by Keechiu. It seems that after the super-talented PMships from the super-talented LEE family come to an end, the nation cannot be governed by any other individual outside the Lee clan. The manner of governance has to change. The country must be governed by a group and not by an individual like it has been since Independence. And Keechiu is the salesman appointed to market this new approach.
Of course he will need a partner in crime, and that would be the State Press none the least. This is what the drunken writers from the TODI Paper said: “The fact that the next PM will be chosen by his peers in the Cabinet has not stopped speculation that Keechiu – GIVEN HIS CREDENTIALS – is the PM-in-waiting.” I wonder what credentials the writers were referring to when all he has is an army portfolio to crow about. But even as the drunkards in white are blowing the trumpet for him, he recognized the fact that someone might come along who would do a better job, or more importantly, better liked. So he pointed out: “… it doesn’t mean that if you are not the PM, you cannot make a contribution to the team.” Well, let’s see him put his money where his mouth is. Let’s see him take on the current PM for all the shoddy policies surrounding the current socio-political environment.
In his typical arrogant manner, which we see so often, and which he often dish out with a colgate smile, he warned detractors in elitist Ah Beng fashion, that there is a proper time and place for discussing issues ie one has to find the “sweet spot”. He said: “… the key (to having a proper dialogue with the PAP) lies in finding a sweet spot, where there is agreement that it is an appropriate stage for consultation.” Wow! the common Ah Beng will say, “Walau eh! must see weather forecast to talk to these idiots ar!”. But to lend support to himself, he was quick to tell why the elites have chosen to talk down to commoners. He reasoned that for every Singaporean who feels the government should consult the citizens, there are others who expect the policy-makers to frame a particular issue first before getting people to buy into it. If this is not an elitist mind at work, then i do not know what else there is to prove it.
He also acknowledged that the government is still feeling its way. Well, if after almost 50 years of being in government and still ‘feeling its way’, then i think it’s about time Singaporeans send this bunch of hopeless leaders on their way.
It is a scary thought, to think that our lives are in the hands of these people who think the world of themselves. Unfortunately, the scary movie is set to last for some time yet. Can you imagine the current PM Pinky tickling us pink for another eight years? Can you picture Singapore having Keechiu as PM? Can you envisage a government that has been in total and complete power of control for fifty years and is still feeling its way? Can you imagine a like-minded group of politicians governing our lives based on policy concurrence before we can even say, “F*** Off”? Can you live your life under the dictate of a group of people who require you to speak up only when the time and place is aligned with the stars?
If you cannot imagine any of these, then it’s time to stop being an actor on this scary movie directed by this man we call Keechiu.
