See any similarities? If you do, then please persuade your friends and relatives who normally support PAP to vote opposition!
The mystery of where the milk and apples went to was soon cleared up. The animals had assumed that these would be shared out equally; one day, however, the order went forth that all apples and milk were solely for the use of the pigs. The other animals murmured, but it was no use. All the pigs were in full agreement on this point. The pig Squealer was sent to make the necessary explanations to the others.
"Comrades!" he cried. "You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for YOUR sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Farmer Jones would come back! Yes, Jones would come back! Surely, comrades," cried Squealer almost pleadingly, skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, "surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?"
Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew was sent out to defend why Singapore ministers are paid up to 10 times more than the ministers of Europe and US, and more than a hundred times more than the average Singaporean. The PAP strongman painted a horrifying picture of a Singapore governed by ministers who earn no more than ministers anywhere else.
"Your apartment will be worth a fraction of what it is," Lee said, "your jobs will be in peril, your security will be at risk and our women will become maids in other people's countries."
"If we don't do that, in the long term, the government system will slowly crumble and collapse,'' added Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean
