And we have a nominee!

You know folks, I think I am fucking psychic. I barely sat down after announcing the Shitblog Awards and already there is someone out there who could have been a winner.

This person, I might add, is the daughter of a fucking Member of Parliament, no less. You remember Parliament, where the people's representatives, having received the mandate from the electorate to take decisions on their behalf meet to frame policies that ensure the continued upliftment of the people? Of course you don't. What you probably remember is a gang of elitist, corporate suck-up, choad smoking snobs with egos fragile as a Hollywood couple's marriage, finding new ways of enriching themselves with millions while the country goes to hell in a handbasket. But I digress...

Anyway, this fine example of the 'elite' in Singapore, Ms. Wee Shu Min has this to say about people who worry about things like unemployment, the dearth of jobs with a future, the fact that people cannot even depend on the government when the chips are down, the fact that the healthcare system here is a joke, and that the government for some odd reason thinks that bartop dancing will improve the economy and having a 'Romancing Singapore' month will somehow increase birth rates (more on this shitbag later):

mom's friend sent her some blog post by some bleeding stupid 40-year old singaporean called derek wee (WHY do all the idiots have my surname why?!) whining about how singapore is such an insecure place, how old ppl (ie, 40 and above) fear for their jobs, how the pool of foreign "talent" (dismissively chucked between inverted commas) is really a tsunami that will consume us all (no actually he didn't say that, he probably said Fouren Talern Bery Bad.), how the reason why no one wants kids is that they're a liability in this world of fragile ricebowls, how the government really needs to save us from inevitable doom but they aren't because they are stick-shoved-up-ass elites who have no idea how the world works, yadayadayadayada.

You know, this never fails to surprise me. Wouldn't you, if you were commenting on someone's command over the English language, ensure that your own English is at least up to par? Is that too much to expect? I don't know after all. I am a humble peasant and not versed in the doublespeak that passes for language in the hallowed halls of the high and mighty. Apparently she has forgotten that sentences should start with the first letter of the first word capitalised, it's 'people' and not 'ppl' (parts per litre), it's 'how the government... but they won't' and not 'aren't'. Well, I am sure there are more but I suppose I have made my point.

Anyway, this is the least of her sins. Read on. She says:

i am inclined - too much, perhaps - to dismiss such people as crackpots. stupid crackpots. the sadder class. too often singaporeans - both the neighborhood poor and the red-taloned socialites - kid themselves into believing that our society, like most others, is compartmentalized by breeding. ridiculous. we are a tyranny of the capable and the clever, and the only other class is the complement.

You know, that one last line says it all. 'We are a tyranny of the capable and the clever'. This little girl is too young to remember the breeding programmes started by Lee the Father, in which graduate women were given incentives to breed more while non graduate mothers were encouraged NOT to breed. This is forgivable. She then goes on to say that her kind (the rulers) are rulers because they are 'capable and clever'. Therefore, they have a birthright to rule. This is not forgivable, especially since, or rather despite the fact that, she comes from Raffles Junior College. This twit fails to understand, intentionally perhaps, that Singaporean leaders are not all that capable, nor are they very clever. The prime minister gets the heebie jeebies every time he steps up to a mike and speaks like a retarded ape with the stutters. The Minister Mentor (the first time a democracy has a post like that) without fail ensures that Singaporeans look like complete fucktards in front of other nations. Education policies here are determined by people with no background in education. There is a virtually non-existent foreign policy (which can be summed up with one line: Say yes to whatever America is doing). The legal systems make those in banana republics appear fair in comparison, the housing policy, the one true success attributable to good vision, has virtually decimated the retirement savings of a majority of the populace thanks to the government becoming a Slum Baron. The government has succeeded in alienating its neighbours (again attributable to a certain leader's inability to keep his mouth shut), its population is stagnating, increasingly the government has been funding howlers in an effort to boost an economy it has micromanaged to near extinction (Biopolis? Life science hub? Shuzhou? Casinos? Shin Corp?), health care is now a disaster (you wait three months to pay $200 to have a specialist see you for five minutes) oh come on this is too easy.

But then again, Ms. Wee has to find some way of rationalising the tyranny, so she calls it 'capable and clever' when in fact 'clueless and clotheaded' sound more appropriate. Maybe it's the same attitude that got Marie 'let them eat cake' Antoinette her head chopped off. Sigh, if only... If only...

She then goes on, from her high and mighty throne to dispense knowledge to the rest of us 'masses'. Same shit, different crapper.

Now I am not going to put the whole damn entry up and it's probably not worth recapping every bit of that shitfest so I'll just post some salient points here.

She says:
i should think not. dear derek is one of many wretched, undermotivated, overassuming leeches in our country, and in this world.

You know, that one line itself is enough to have her and her family up against a wall with rifles pointed in their general direction. Singaporeans are amongst the hardest working people in the fucking world, and they get very little in return. It was not Lee the Father who built Singapore, "Singapore Story" notwithstanding, but it was every Singaporean who with a willingness to work his ass off for a future he could bring kids to that did it. But apparently Ms. Wee is angry at the fact that now the Singaporean is demanding his due. Apparently demanding decent living conditions constitutes being a leech. Oh how dare he!

Ms. Wee ought to know as well, that her education is funded by the taxpayer. Her father is paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to warm the back benches of parliament and occasionally reach down to scratch his vestigial balls. Who's the leech now, bitch?

Her measure of successful government is as follows:

is dear derek starving? has dear derek been denied an education? has dear derek been forced into child prostitution? has dear derek had his clan massacred by the government?

You heard it folks. You haven't been killed (yet) right? So shut the fuck up! And carry on eating dirt like the peasants you are! How dare you demand a level playing field? How dare you insist on fair wages? How dare you insist on unemployment insurance? Don't you know that you only have the right to work and shut up? How dare you complain?!

She wonders why the poor sod she's talking about shares her surname. She goes on to say that only idiots share her surname. Apparently the poor girl hasn't heard of the ills of inbreeding. If you don't believe me, look at her and her siblings. Not a very deep genepool there, folks.
