Does any of our officials in Singapore have the balls to say this and do the same? I respect this Mayor.

'Go and destroy the building now': Under-fire Japan mayor resigns after ordering arson

TOKYO (AFP) - A Japanese mayor who came under fire after telling his subordinate to burn down a building in the way of a road construction project offered to resign on Friday (Feb 1).

Mr Fusaho Izumi, from Akashi city near Kobe in western Japan, was recorded ranting at a senior city official who was struggling to evict tenants and the owner of the building, as he sought to expand an existing road.

"Are you stupid?" he said in the tirade recorded in June 2017.

"Make them evict! You go and start a fire today and get arrested! Burn it! No joke! Go and destroy the building now!"

The recording was released to the local media this week. It immediately made national headlines and was replayed time and time again on television shows.

On Friday, Mr Izumi told a nationally televised news conference his actions "must not be tolerated".

"After all the news reports, the city hall has received many calls. This is interrupting the city's operations. If the city hall cannot operate smoothly, it will cause trouble for local citizens," he said.

"It's clear that I lacked quality as a leader," he admitted.

Do our leaders in the kitchen cabinet or the GLCs or the military even know the meaning of the world, let alone practise it.

PAP Leeders are there to enforce the No Blame Culture. It's a tough job that pays millions.

Oh yes! They do take full responsibility for all kinds of achievements and milestones including sporting accolades but immediately siam, take cover and act blur when the going gets tough; including data breaches, training deaths and other cockups.

We have a unique country, unique government, a unique people ...we are always fighting to survive because our neighbours are always trying to get us.

Given these unique circumstances, our unique government and system is the only path for this country to walk on. So, we must be united ...one people, one nation, one SINKapore. Only the PAP can lead us into ….

Let's move on.
