Down to 11-50 and still want to buy chopsticks?

[Confuseous]

However, I must say that I’m amazed that anyone who is down to $11.50 is still shopping for chopsticks. Frankly, I wouldn’t be thinking of buying chopsticks with so little left in my account. Instead, I would just pay an extra 20 cents for take away at the food centre, get the free containers, plastic spoon, wooden chopsticks and reuse them. Well, chopsticks … you eat with them. You can’t eat them! Which wise man would shop for chopsticks when he’s ddown to $11.50? Gosh, if public office really does horrible things to people’s minds, then I really think we should pay leaders millions – to retire for good.

Left 11.50 should go buy toto. Chopstick can go to hawker centre take free one. Dunno how he became a doctor

This bugger only say joint account left with $11.50; not his personal or spouse account. Anyone with a clear mind will know KPK is crapping his way through. A medical professional who is financially broke after buying a house who will believe.

He really need a good spin doctor to help him as he is beyond hope.

Do u all actually believe his childhood story ?

 

[tanwahp]

PAP's Dr Koh spends his last $11.50 on chopsticks?

What kind of story is that? Who will buy $11.50 worth of chopsticks which probably cost no more than $1 per pair?

Why do you need that amount of chopsticks when you only have 2 people at home? Or does he plan to decorate his house with chopsticks?

And if you spent your last cent on chopsticks, how to afford food?

Why didn't they borrow from their parents? Their parents can't even afford chopsticks?

The storytelling politics is getting wonderful.

Politicians should not tell children stories. It is like: Long, long time. there was an old man by the name of Rip Van Winkle ............

Those anecdotes have limited bearing on today's world, in fact, quite detached from reality.

Imagine a candidate on a campaign trial comes to you and talked about catching spiders and playing in the longkang when he was a kid. This is evidence that he doesn't know what your present situation is

Yes from Isetan..back in those days, I use to admire the chop sticks sold in sets there..some even come in stainless steel, only people like Dr.Koh with $11.50 on their bank account can afford to buy, those whose salaries of $30 a month feeding 8 mouths..can only admire! ( back then)...his $11.50 as big as the "BULLock cart wheel"..

The monk says a lot of things but you cannot understand them. People who understand his religion will understand.

Hard to believe doctor so poor, only heard of even GP earning two or three hundred thousand. If really left $11.50, shows that he has very bad financial management skills to renovate house and spent until almost zero, should instead renovate less and spend less money. How to trust such people to handle govt i.e people money.
