DEPUTY Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean weighed in on the heated battle in Aljunied GRC on Wednesday, urging voters there to vote for the team that can best look after their concerns.

He also took a swipe at the Workers' Party's (WP) 'First World Parliament' slogan, dismissing it as too distant from the lives of ordinary Singaporeans.

'It's not something that connects with the man in the street,' he said, after a morning of campaigning at Punggol MRT station, in his own Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC.

'It's very distant from what their immediate interests are. They want to make sure there's a good MP who will run their estate properly.'

He acknowledged that there was a desire for more opposition representation, but said the expanded Non-Constituency MP scheme would ensure 'at least three times as many opposition voices in Parliament' after the general election.

On the level of national interest generated by the race in Aljunied GRC, Mr Teo said 'it's not for the rest of Singapore to vote in Aljunied, it's for the voters in Aljunied to vote'.

He forgot that Singaporeans are not ordinary and will not allow PAP and cronies to exploit us. PAP, stop calling Singaporeans ordinary to justify your influx of foreign trash. The word ordinary is like a repeat of PAP calling Singaporeans a lesser mortal.

In George We Trust ... In a desperate attempt by PAP to hold onto the Aljunied GRC, George and his moribund bunch had invoke Divine intervention to reclaim their seats - IN GOD WE TRUST! In addition, they also procured a Taoist priest (Chief of Taoist Federation) to help out!

George Yeo is a poor judge of character. He supported Jack Neo (PBM recipient /PAP member/blogging partner/potential candidate at the time) when he was exposed as a sex predator. This moribund bunch was also embroiled in an uncaring situation with a low IQ youth and his mother seeking financial assistance during a MTP session help resulting in the police arrest of the youth!

DPM Teo does not need it but Singaporeans and Singapore need a first world parliament. Maybe DPM Teo is ordinary but the overwhelming majority of Singaporeans are extraordinary individuals who aim for a first world parliament. With a first world parliament, we will have a civil society that LKY could never create as he aimed for a third world parliament.

Till now, have we heard from the WP on their definition of "First World Parliament"?

Do they (WP) enjoy what the government has provided to them since independent?

This pap CCB fuck face is undermining Sporeans, saying that we are not sophisticated enough. This guy epitomises pap arrogance. Nevermind, go dig your hole CCB TCH, dig dig dig.

If your agenda is to speed reckelssly, why would you welcome road blocks and a co-driver?

Similarly, if you want a roomful of ingenues to believe that yr dick is 10 inches long, you would first want to get rid of yr detractors, right?

'First World Parliament' slogan, dismissing it as too distant from the lives of ordinary Singaporeans.

He's got a point. These people are basically ugly and useless coolie-descendants that are incapable of critical and independent thinking even among the few that actually went into college.

They never change and as we have all noted for ourselves here they can never progress beyond their roots either. They just can't make it.

These requirements are simply anathema to their inferior-quality DNA.

Singaporeans all all extraordinary, except the 60% who are not-odinary at all

 

[ballsathome]

I am a ugly, smelly, shameless, keling ftrash under payroll from the PAP IB

It's obvious so how not to agree?

Sure he says no need for 1st world parliament, cos he will also lose his million dollar salary if more Opp get voted in.
Another issue is how and who to keep a check and balance on PAP's policy? MBH once said S'pore population can be increased to 10 million mark and Singapore can still cope. Try asking MBH to ride the subway to work after the population hits 10million.
These Ministers ride in comfort to/from work and do not know what the ordinary ppl are going thru. In another words, they have lost touch with the ground after being in the ivory tower for so long.

It is the voters who want another alternative voice in parliament. Seem that you are happy with the crowded subway and high prices of HDB, and foreigners coming to take up jobs that Singaporeans can do,....etc
You must be one of the priviledged few who is not aware of what the ordinary ppl are going thru....
