In the beginning of 2024, the 3G and 4G leaders were discussing how to deal with a Bangladeshi worker who was an ardent activist of the rights of migrant workers in this country.
These political elites were of the opinion that he could be a troublemaker whose actions could seriously harm Sinkieland's squeaky clean image and political stability. They felt that more decisive actions needed to be taken before more migrant workers followed in his footsteps.
About three PAP sicko-fans (read sycophants) were tasked to teach the Bangladeshi activist to toe the line.
They got in touch with the senior management of Hiap Seng Piling Construction to highlight the concern of the political elites. Unless the company took serious action against its employee, government contracts running into millions of dollars might not be awarded to it.
Mr Uddin's work permit had been renewed recently and the senior management needed a valid reason to terminate his employment.
At the top of PAP's list of favourite excuses is "unable to work well with colleagues, not a team player". But it did not apply to Mr Uddin because he WAS a good team player who was well-liked by his co-workers.
Did Mr Uddin malinger while employed by the company? No, in fact he never applied for medical leave.
One of the PAP sicko-fans then suggested the idea of "loan shark harassment" to the senior management of the company. He even walked them through the steps of how loan sharks typically harass borrowsers.
There were obvious holes in the execution of the plot. This is why the public statements made by MOM and the police and reported in the state-sponsored media differ substantially from what the senior management of Heap Seng told the news reporters.
Truth is immutable, whether it is articulated now or a hundred years ago and is the same whether it is said by one person or a thousand people.
All of us know Mr Uddin's ultimate fate.
This whole saga reveals that most of Sinkies are delusional to think that Sinkieland cares about workers' rights, including the rights of foreign migrant workers.
The real truth is that foreign workers have rights only when Pinky and Lawless Wong say so.
P.S. I had a really good laugh when some clueless Sinkies petitioned Lawless Wong to file a last minute appeal to the relevant authorities to extend Mr Uddin's stay in Sinkapore. What Lawless Wong did was to wayang.
