ONCE, my supporters in Hougang and I sat upon the earth in the shadow of the High Places of Hougang, and we made great moan that we had been cast out by my holy brother Lord Thia Khiang, who denied me my rightful NCMP position and gave it to a mere mortal woman, Sylvia Lim.
And even as we grieved, the gift of Sight came to me, and I spake unto my people of the Feast of Politics and of the Beloved Guest who would one day arrive to partake of that feast.
And I exhorted my people to prepare for his coming, and I told them to search for the signs in the sky and in the earth, and commanded that they learn to read those signs in order that they may choose between Lord Thia Khiang and the Beloved Guest who would one day come to us.
So it was that my people turned their faces first to the heavens, and they despaired, for there seemed no sign there. But lo! A great light streamed across the night sky, trailing clouds of fire behind it like a veil. And in those clouds of fire read we the first word in the Book of Heavens, and the word we read was "peril".
Painfully, we began to piece together the message written in the stars, and as we laboured at this, others of our number strove to hear the voices which whispered within the rocks.
Now there were whispers which all men might hear, but they spoke in a language that no man could translate. But lo! In a certain time the land was seized by the throes of earthquake, and the whispers of the rocks became a shriek, and in that shriek, we found the first word of the language of the rocks, and the word we heard was "peril".
For months after GE 2006 we struggled with the signs among the stars that we might read them, and for months after my holy brother conspired with his party members to cast me out of WP did we wrestle with the whispers in the rocks, that we might hear them more clearly and translate them.
And in time, it came to pass that one amongst us lifted his face to the sky and read clearly the message of the stars. And the message read: "Peril lies at the heart of Choice, for should ye vote awry, all of Opposition Politics in Singapore will be bent to the design of Wayang, and True Opposition will perish and be no more."
And at the same time, another of us arose and went to a certain rock and laid his ear against it, and he heard therein the voice of the rock speaking clearly unto him. And the rock said: "Peril lies at the heart of Choice, for should ye vote awry, all of Opposition Politics in Singapore will be bent to the design of Wayang, and True Opposition will perish and be no more."
And as we studied further, the Book of the Heavens became more clear, and the Voice of the Earth more audible. But the pages written in the stars and the volumes spoken from the earth provided no aid to us in the choice which we must make. Both sky and earth warned repeatedly that two would come to us, and that one was good and the other evil, that one was true and the other wayang, but neither earth nor sky would advise us which was which.
And we sent scholars into other realms of knowledge to seek the answers that we must have. And some of them communed with the dead and others spoke with spirits and with beasts and with the trees. And our seers cast their sights into the future and the distant past, but nowhere could we find the answer.
