Wtf! He's so proud of that! And we pay him $millions to tell Sinkies he's incompetent, and they still voted for him!
Although he is a PAPPY Minister, I don't hate him - he is more a subject of ridicule.
You can say he is honest or plain stupid.
Honest to admit he has problems with 'L' & 'R' & master of neither language.
Stupid enough not to realize many of his stories are plain corny - whether talking about the deaf frog or expressing his happiness whenever he see his CPF statement etc. Isn't he AWARE of the asinine quality of those kinds of remarks ?
Looking at the ST photos of his office, his going around carrying his laptop bad is most atypical of a PAP minister - he is more like an IT engineer...
The usual rags-to-riches story, grow up in 3-room flat helping father a joss-stick maker etc etc..... ST Spin Editors working OVERTIME !
His tears when he watch badminton matches,
His Hokkien Karaoke 'Ai Pia jia a yeah' dubbed into English NTUC lyrics,
All his stories & diction...
Ah Swee Say is undisputedly a goofy character...
Thankfully, he has said next GE is his last .....
* oh yeah, though his daughter is studying in New York (unlikely to return I feel), his son is serving NS ... (boh pian, father minister too obvious...)
