Winter is Coming

"The Kingsguard do not run. Then or now. We swore a vow." "Jiang Wei ran to and fro slaying all he met till another heart spasm seized him,' Failed!' he shrieked,'but it is the will of Heaven.'He put an end to his own life" Romance of the Three Kingdoms "If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look him into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die." Ned Stark

Logic of the Lightning Bolt

Just a few days ago, a ST online letter by some fella claimed that Mr Chiam should fulfil his promise to upgrade the lifts in potong pasir. I believe before that the straits times ran a rather long article on Mr Chiam, whereby Mr Chiam was reported to have said it would be difficult to upgrade all the lifts. It is reassuring to know that there are some heroes who dared to speak up for the people of PP and their embattled leader Chiam in today's forum.

Mr LKY and Mr Mah Bow Tan plus a whole horde of PAP fellas have said time and again that upgrading is for those who voted PAP and the funds naturally go to those who have voted for the lightning bolt. Heh...so much for moving ahead and staying together and leave no one behind...seems that besides the poor fellas at the mrt track and those overassuming underachieving leeches the people of hougang and potong pasir (or those areas under the SMC...since i have folks in hougang ave 3 who belong to aljunied or pasir ris depending on the elcetion year) are coming under the definition of "nobody".

Of course, if they want to justify the withholding of upgrading programs sure by all means. IF the funds for upgrading come from thin air, and not from GST, paid by people regardless of consiteuncy, then go ahead. If the sons and daughters of PP and Hougang pay taxes to Chiam and Low respectively, and not to the relevant authorities, then by all means dun give them their money. If the sons of PP and hougang do not waste 2/2.5 of their most exciting years doing shit just so some bored warrant ossifer or ossifer or SSG can get promoted or feel impt and get a pat on the head..sure...go ahead and withhold upgrading. Better yet, might as well cut of their water supply and electricity. If upgrading is in charge of the Ministry of National Development, and MND doesnt want to upgrade Hougang and PP, does it not follow that Hougang and PP are not part of the Nation of Singapore? Res Ipsa Loquitor.

So much for the words of the pledge going, Build a Democratic Society, Based on Justice and EQUALITY. But maybe this non elite doesnt understand ENGRISH enough...as they said in animal farm...all constiteuncies are equal, just that most are more equal than 2. But hey our pledge mentions nothing about constiteuncies...heh...
