During my Business Walk about recently, I have spoken to some Singapore Chinese businessmen.

Singapore Chinese businessmen who are “extremely successful” have a very conservative profile and mindset. Even when they are not happy with some of the PAP government policies, they will just pretend and put up a show in front of PAP.

Some have even joined PAP’s grassroots organizations, just to show that they are “loyal”. In Chinese mindset, they have this stance that “Businessman should not fight with the government officials” (商不与官斗).

In my memory, there were only very few instances where extremely wealthy businessmen had fought with PAP before but that was way in the past, 1960s and early 1970s.

However, this time round, what I gather is that many top Chinese businessmen who had great amount of investment in China, are basically scolding PM Lee at his back! To these Chinese businessmen, they will put self (business) interests as their top priorities, never mind if you want them to kowtow to you or even lick your shoes, they will do it, just for the sake of their business interests.

But this time round, due to PM Lee’s totally lack of diplomatic tact which has angered the China’s government, they felt extremely uneasy, “threatened” and “frightened” that their millions or even billions of investment investment in China would be wiped off by the CCP!

They felt extremely anxious when their business partners and those CCP officials whom they have good relationship with, started to question them about PM Lee’s recent comments targeted at China.

These are the reasons that they are extremely frustrated with PM Lee but just like the business minded people as they are (唯利是图), they just don’t quite dare to vent their anger publicly or even in private to PAP MPs or Ministers or PM Lee himself! (敢怒不敢言) They will only vent their frustration in their own private meetings and gatherings….

Well, I can only smile when I gather all these information. I guess only at moments like this, they would be secretly happy when people in opposition like me started to call out to PM Lee to shut up.

Goh Meng Seng says only he is fit to let PAP buy him out, other people are NOT FIT!


Thought of the Day

Throughout my 1.5 decade of opposition politics, I have met many different people along the way and of course, sometimes, I have some interesting and funny questions thrown at me....

Recently, a young person asked me, "how can I get PAP to buy me out?"

I nearly burst into laughter. I told this young person, "you are not up to the standards to be offered for a buyout by PAP yet!"

Then I explain, this young person is NOT a HARDCORE Opposition as the person thought by cursing PAP day in day out would make a person one.

I can be fully understanding to people who wanted or accepted compromises and "buyout" from PAP. In fact, there are people whose purpose in getting involved in opposition movement or even politics itself, is to get the attention of PAP so that they could hope for a "buyout" from the power that be!

That's their personal choice and have nothing to do with me, as long as it doesn't involve public interests. Most human beings aren't saints and in history, there are many examples of people in opposition or related to opposition cause or "anti-PAP's leadership" segment, accepted buyout from the power that be. So be it.

From the "Free Market Principle" of Economics, we should not feel bad about people working for their self interests of gaining benefits for their (economic/political) activities as long as it creates positive utility or benefits to the market as a whole, in terms of contributing to the competition and enhance market development.

But the point is this, be mindful of the person you are dealing with in opposition. What's their agenda? Are they really "HARDCORE Opposition" working for the REAL opposition/Democratic development cause, or just for the money's sake?

Thus, one has to open his or her eyes big enough to observe, not only listen to sweet talks and cursing of PAP, but also observe the acts, things that others do or decisions they made, to determine whether you want to have a long term working relationship politically.

Well, I turn around and told that person, you are NOT a HARDCORE Opposition people despite of the things you did. And I shall not consider to work with you, politically speaking. Well, that person has to admit to that... Not a Hardcore Opposition after all.

P.S. And after reading this you have this pertinent question in your head on whether I was offered a buyout or even bought over, I can tell you, PAP knew I cannot be bought over, that's why they don't even want to make that offer which they made to many people, for fear of risking being shamed by me publicly.
 
please don't tempt me~~~
