A Quitter's Glory!

A Quitter's Glory!

A family I love left Singapore because they have the alternative of not taking the crap dishes out by the PAP government. When members of the family were called "quitters" by SM Goh Chok Tong, you can imagine their happiness and lightheartedness when they found out that the daughter of GCT is a quitter too - another "fair weather Singaporean", lamented GCT!

Wu Chia-ching, a 20-year-old Taiwanese has just become a Singapore PR who may become a Singapore citizen soon. Said Cuesports Singapore's vice-president Ivan Lim: 'He is not just here to win medals. We want him to be involved with the schools and be a role model for younger players.'[Link]

Role Model?

1. Yes, work hard, be the best that you can be and make Singapore proud! . . . OR . . .
2. Work hard, be the best that you can be and sell (pimp) your birthright and nationality to the highest bidder?

No, I have nothing against Wu Chia-ching and I respect his decision. What eats me is in Singapore's relentless chase for fame and glory, we are selling our core values and principles as in (2). Have we lost our soul?

Maybe I'm an old fogey whose value is out of sync but to buy a foreigner and to piss off Taiwan (a friendly neighbour who allows us their land for our military training) is a little too much to bear. "Ghee Kee" - roughly translated from Hokkien: "Loyalty" or "You don't play out or screw up your ally (brother)" is missing big time here!

So what's loyalty to Singapore worth?

Squat, a load of crap or the colour of money like what we pay the ministers?

The cheek to make a song and dance out of hustling a pool talent from a friendly country on the front page of ST shows what kind of a cuntry we have become.

The role model bit is just too hard to swallow.

Yes, as each day passes, Singapore is becoming more a cuntry than a nation.

Yes, buy and sell.

Break the bank for the glory-maker and let the unproductive (used to be nation builders) rot and die (preferably in JB).

Prosecute and prostitute!

Majulah Singapura!
