I had a chance to listen to the condensed version of Chan Chun Sing’s recent closed-door dialogue.
The first thing I will advise is that all parents should stop their children from listening to it. It is a disgraceful glorification of Singlish, which has no place in a 1st World Country, where proper English should be taught and spoken. If our children were to speak like him in that audio, it would be the death-knell of the career prospects for many, unless you are an elite. Chan Chun Sing is really better suited to being Phua Chu Kang’s colleague if he chooses to speak in that manner!
Second, it was equally disgraceful that he chose to describe Singaporeans as “Idiots”, “Suckers” and “Disgraceful”. Many Singaporeans expressed their outrage to me about his remarks and I fully understand how they feel! From this incident, Chan Chun Sing shows himself to be cut from the same elitist cloth as his Party colleague Goh Chok Tong, who described those earning less than $500K as “mediocre”.And this from a Party that professes to be - With You, For You, For Singapore!
Chan Chun Sing should know that many Singaporeans have lost confidence in how the government is handling the crisis. We now have the highest number of infections outside of China, despite being the furthest Asian country away, apart from Indonesia. Day after day our infections are increasing when other places such as Macau have not seen an increase in 11 days. That is what led to the recent panic-buying.
