DPM asking students to do his thinking work

[BuiKia]

Despite the positive spin added by the mainstream media on Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean’s lecture during the recently held Pre-University seminar to a group of young students from junior colleges, polytechnics and centralized institutes, many were disappointed with his speech and the way he dodged their questions.

A report on the seminar by Channel News Asia gave the erroneous impression that the DPM Teo was ‘engaging’ well with the students:

“I’m quite cheered by that because it means that the students don’t have a blind optimism. They understand that there are challenges, but those challenges can be overcome and if we do put in that effort together, we can do that.”

However, one 17 year old participant of the seminar later wrote on his blog that the students were very unhappy with DPM Teo for using the usual PAP gimmick to ask the questioner to provide solutions when confronted with an intractable problem:

“The participants made it extremely clear they were dissatisfied with DPM Teo- and when we asked about our concerns which we do not know what can be done to solved, he will give the ****ing ridiculous reply “What do you think (can be done)?”.

He was absolutely disgusted with the answer given by DMP Teo to ‘smoke’ them and hurled vulgarities at him:

“We seek your opinion. You gave us none. And when someone manned up and replied, “I am 17 years old, I don’t know what to do”, the crowd went berserk in applause. Fxxk you, sir.”

His views appeared to be shared by MediaCorp celebrity and Young PAP member Tay Ping Hui who tweeted two days ago:

“Was told if I was going to comment on something, I should provide solutions instead of just talking. My reply:” then what am I paying u 4?”"

My cousin who is an ex-policeman told me that his fucked up scholar boss also did the same thing to him. He was stucked with a problem and he approached his boss to discuss how to solve it. He kenna fucked by the boss, saying that he should be providing solution and not just telling him the problem.

After that, my cousin resigned as he was condemned and not promoted for many years, now the scholar is a superscaler.

See, this is what happens when you cut the ministers' salaries - they want you to think for them, under the 'consultation' guise and then they proceed to do whatever they want, saying that what they implement are the views of the majority.

This fella was not much of a thinker anyway - but got 'Rear' anyway, in the Navy. It is the ability to say "Yes Sir" and how enthusiastically you sound when you say it.

“Was told if I was going to comment on something, I should provide solutions instead of just talking. My reply:” then what am I paying u 4?”"

I guess for seminars like these, the audience should just keep quiet and let the host speak, and after the seminar, they should just partake of the nice snacks and coffee, pat their bottoms and go off.

Honestly speaking, the best I heard was one student who asked a question whether the Govt would do anything to solve a particular problem and followed up with the following comment "I think the answer is no. Am I right sir" or to the effect.

he has successfully killed all interest that any of the students have in politics

He must be thinking he is talking to his subordinate in his Ministry,hence he has such reply.
