Netizens have expressed shocked at Emeritus Senior Minister (ESM) Goh Chok Tong’s recent ‘chase after meat’ remarks, which were broadcast on national TV.

At a press conference on Wednesday (26th Aug) to introduce his fellow candidates for Marine Parade GRC, ESM Goh Chok Tong urged voters to give the ruling party a “strong mandate”.
Mr Goh said that “if the government doesn’t get a good support, you’re repudiating what they have been doing.”
He added that it was “very important” that a “clear signal” be sent to the ruling party that voters “liked what they are doing.”
Mr Goh then went on to dismiss the opposition and told voters not to be “distracted” by them.
Don’t chase after bits of meat thrown by the opposition,” Mr Goh said, gesticulating with his hands.
“I think that will be a mistake,” he added.
Netizens have found the remark to be “extremely disrespectful”, which they saw as likening Singaporeans to animals, or dogs.
During GE 2011, a remark by the late Lee Kuan Yew who had told voters in Aljunied GRC that they would need to “repent” if they voted opposition drew vitriolic reaction against it.
That remark was widely seen as having contributed to the PAP’s loss of the Aljunied GRC to the Workers’ Party (WP).
Check and balance in parliament is a seductive lie
At the same press conference, Mr Goh also dismissed suggestions by the opposition that it could act as a check and balance in parliament against the PAP.
Mr Goh said this was a “seductive lie”, and that the PAP could check itself.
For many years, the PAP was the only party in Parliament. Had the PAP gone corrupt in those years? Until the 2011 election, there were very few opposition MPs in Parliament. Had the PAP let the people down? We are our own checks, the integrity of our leaders and our MPs … not this seductive lie of check and balance. They are seducing the people. And if the people are not careful, they will be seduced … (and) they will pay a price. They’re looking for plunder … So now a new tribe is coming, do they really have an interest in Marine Parade people’s welfare.
The 74-year-old MP for Marine Parade GRC will face the Workers’ Party where the incumbent PAP won with only 56.65% of the votes.
