What PM Lee didn't say in his National Day Rally

[temasekreview]

In his National Day rally, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong issued a rallying call for unity across different races and religions.

A large part of his speech in English was devoted to addressing the climate of rising religious fervour.

He said that social cohesion was critical to Singapore’s long-term success, and singled out racial and religious divides as the ‘most visceral and dangerous fault line’, potentially worse than the rich-poor gap or any divide between Singaporeans and foreign residents.

While nobody can deny the fact that racial and social stability is a cornerstone of Singapore’s continued prosperity, the Prime Minister is perhaps overly concerned about it at the expense of the real divides afflicting our nation today - namely that between the rich and poor and between citizens and foreigners.

Racial and religious fault lines will always be present in a multi-racial society in Singapore. Though it can be managed to a certain extent by the state, it can never be eradicated completely.

HA! Another smoke screen. Oi, don't fall for it and take the bait. Religion - the ultimate bait to take everyone's focus off them.

Or rather he lost touch with the rot and decay in the heartlands .

All chao ah bengs and their loud cars and those malaysian bikes and mat bikes.

Please protect all those good area from these denizens .

We should be grateful for this economic downturn. It has removed a substantial amount of old and young chao ah-bengs ungracious from the roads

Luckily he didnt say in his dialect ( wonder if knows it), "deow ai see futt"; he would, get the former aware attackers, AWAKE!.

He is a "PRINCE", born with a silver spoon in his mouth, all his food prepared, tasted & delivered to him, where would he know how to fix a bowl of bar chor mee mai hum or mee siam mai hum?:p

The only thing he knows how to fix are the sinkapoor's oppositions, and they are extremely mild, compared to any of the countries in South East Asia..:o
