Chitchat Ho Ching's Pearl Harbour

[scroobal]

By now anyone asleep would have released that there is a war raging on the net. How a carefully crafted plan of using a $14.80 pouch and an autistic teen did not even get off the ground when the Japs and their zeros (read Netizens and their comments ) began dive bombing at the break of dawn. Ho Chng's PJs, open toed sandals, the poorly coiffured white hair and her image and that of the country is in flames.

The plan to portray herself as a frugal, humble and thoughtful person that is concerned about the poor and needy is all lost. The pouch and the 19 yr old autistic teen is now the subject of plan B - a concerted rearguard action with the state media screaming the following headlines - ‘Overwhelming’ demand for Pathlight pouch after Ho Ching carries it to White House". http://www.todayonline.com/singapor...t-pouch-after-ho-ching-carries-it-white-house

This must surely be the finest hour for the prostitute press in a clearly losing battle where the nation's entire social wealth hinges on a 19year old autistic teen. There was already eyebrows raised when NMP Chia Yong Yong whose's sister's and her PAP credentials are well known was on the guest list. This pouch clearly confirms that intention was less than noble - a supposedly caring nation.

Even Perm Sec, Bihari Kausikan has launched his torpedo boat in a horrific but brave and solo attempt to rescue the inevitable sinking of the SS Ho Ching with a suicide mission. His attacks on the TISG has be seen to be believed, by this son of Singapore that would put even his predecessor SR Nathan's war endeavours to shame just on the loyalty aspect.

I have no doubt the PA has summoned its staff to intervene on the net to defend the indefensible by the numerous pro Ho Ching comments appearing all over the usual blogs. Some with most ignorant comments such as they are part of the culture - None of the dresses except for Peranakan outfit or the footwear resemblances anything from Singapore or even the Planet.

When a well known medically qualified aesthetic doctor suggests that the lady needs a stylist and put his name front and centre in the online world, you do have to wonder why no one was looking after Pearl Harbour on that fateful dawn. All this could have been avoided with some level of honesty amongst the minders, some careful planning and the use of a stylist. Is it too hard to get these things organised?

US First Lady Michelle Obama may have dazzled in her brilliant yellow Naeem Khan floral appliqué dress at the White House.

But it was Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's wife Ho Ching's clutch purse that got Singaporeans in a tizzy.

It is a denim pouch with a dinosaur motif, designed and drawn by Pathlight School student See Toh Sheng Jie, 20, who has autism.

Mrs Lee told The New Paper that she had taken three different pouches designed by Pathlight students - including Mr Sheng Jie - because she could not decide which to use.

She also took to the White House a set of cups and mugs for Mrs Obama, featuring Supertree artwork done by Glenn Phua, another Pathlight student.

Mr Sheng Jie's parents, who found out about Mrs Lee's decision to carry the dinosaur pouch only yesterday morning, are still reeling in shock.

Holding up the same design of the denim pouch, Mr Sheng Jie's mother Wendy Chua said: "Unbelievable.

"We thought (Mrs Lee) would have carried a branded or designer bag to an event like this. But she chose to use this pouch."

Stocks of the dinosaur pouches are now running low due to demand.



UNAWARE

Mr Sheng Jie's father, Mr Jason See Toh, 54, said: "Sheng Jie is not really aware of the impact of Ms Ho carrying his pouch to the White House.

"He is just happy when we tell him someone likes what he's made."

Speaking in a mixture of English and Mandarin in their Yishun flat, the couple said that their younger of two sons has been "obsessed" with dinosaurs ever since he watched his first Disney movie, Dinosaur. Despite his usual fidgety nature, he sat still for the whole movie.

Then, just three years old, he started shaping dinosaur models with Blu-Tack. He started reading voraciously about dinosaurs from library books.

"Of course he wasn't very good with the Blu-Tack at first, but we let him continue playing with it," said Madam Chua, a residents' committee manager.

Without referring to any pictures, Mr Sheng Jie also started filling notebooks with dinosaur sketches.

Mr See Toh, a cabby, showed TNP his son's "dinosaur encyclopaedia", a book filled with his dinosaur drawings. Each page features a different species, along with a short, neatly-written description of its traits.

Mr Sheng Jie's artistic flair caught the attention of his teachers, who suggested developing his artistic skills further.

In 2011, he became one of the pioneer students to join Pathlight's Artist Development Programme. (See report below.)

Now, despite being unable to verbalise his thoughts well, Mr Sheng Jie can rattle off names and traits of dinosaurs from A to Z.

With nifty hands, he shapes blocks of clay effortlessly into life-like dinosaurs, complete with details.

His dinosaur drawings are now printed on pouches, notebooks and notecards, which are sold at both The Art Faculty's shop and online.

Looking at Mr Sheng Jie fondly as he played with his dinosaurs, Mr See Toh said: "He's happiest when he's immersed in the world of dinosaurs. And when he's happy, we are happy."

School VP: It's great mileage for artists

It was both a surprise and an honour to see Ms Ho Ching carrying a pouch designed by a Pathlight School student at the White House, said the school's senior vice-principal Loy Sheau-Mei.

"It gave such a great mileage for the artists on our Artist Development Programme (ADP) and merchandise at The Art Faculty," she added.

Products designed by students under ADP are sold at www.theartfaculty.sg and brick-and-mortar shops at Enabling Village in Lengkok Baru and Pathlight in Ang Mo Kio.

The ADP began in 2011 with the aim of uncovering and developing the potential of artistically-inclined students.

Professional artists work with the students to nurture their talent. Where possible, their works are turned into merchandise.

Student artists earn royalties from each sale so they can have a dignified source of income. They can also take part in exhibitions and speak to visitors about their work. - Catherine Chang

‘Overwhelming’ demand for Pathlight pouch after Ho Ching carries it to White House

SINGAPORE — Photos showing Madam Ho Ching carrying a dinosaur-motif pouch designed by a 19-year-old Pathlight student as Mdm Ho accompanied her husband Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the White House on Tuesday (Aug 2) has spurred “overwhelming” demand for the accessory.

Hours after the photos made their rounds online, a note on the Pathlight’s Art Faculty website, which sells the S$14.80 “Dino Silhouettes” pouch, said stocks were low “due to overwhelming response for this product”.

“We’ve sold 200 pouches today, and counting... We are running low on stock for Dino, we have activated more to be produced,” The Art Faculty, a store managed by Pathlight, told TODAY on Wednesday night. Pathlight is a school for students with autism. Before Wednesday, it took the store four months to sell close to 200 pouches.

On Wednesday morning, The Art Faculty posted on Facebook that Mdm Ho was spotted carrying the pouch designed by one of its students. In the photo, Mdm Ho was being welcomed by First Lady Michelle Obama with a State Arrival ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House during Mr Lee’s official visit to the US.

The pouch was designed by Mr See Toh Sheng Jie who has been on Pathlight School’s Artist Development Programme (ADP) since its inception in 2011. Under the ADP, professional artists work with autistic student to nurture their talents and opportunities to showcase their work in exhibitions.

Ms Loy Sheau-Mei, senior vice principal & head of ADP, Pathlight School told TODAY that Mr See Toh seemed happy about the overwhelming positive response, according to his father’s observations, and that his parents are “very proud and honoured”.

“We were pleasantly surprised and honoured that she chose to bring this bag on her official visit. It gave such a great mileage for the artists on our Artist Development Programme and merchandise at The Art Faculty merchandise,” added Ms Loy. “Ms Ho Ching is known to be very down to earth and practical and the fact that she carries a less than S$20 pouch to such a world stage event shows she is really confident and authentic.”

Mdm Ho had picked up the pouch at an annual fundraising event by the Autism Resource Centre (ARC) held last Saturday. She is an adviser to ARC, a not-for-profit charity in charge of Pathlight, and a patron of the Autism Association Singapore.

Her choice of accessory has since been met with positive responses, with many praising the decision to showcase it at a high profile event.

Facebook user Ibrahim Hassan said: “One of the most powerful women in the world chose to use this one made by an autistic child instead of a highly branded one typically associated with people of her league. This is simply amazing and shows how humble she is.”

“My utmost respects to Mrs Lee for her beautiful unconventional acts carrying such a meaningful bag to support our Singapore child. Salute!,” wrote Facebook user Serena Lim. ADDITIONAL REPORTING BY RAYMOND THAM

Excellent summary of Pearl Harbour. This is "one for the ages", and i'm not talking about Michelle Obama's DNC speech. CNN spelling our PM's name as "Lee Hisien Loong" which is such a non-event has even been used by SGAG to disrupt attention from the main bombing.

To say that the powers that be have utterly lost the plot is an understatement. More scary than Xiaxue wearing Sun Ho's makeup during 7th month.

You obviously have not heard of the Singaporean fable "the Emperess' new clothes".

i think she is doing a fantastic job publicising that singapore now has a new source of cheap labour that US companies can come and exploit. I mean, its brilliant. Who would have thought that autistic children have enough manual dexterity to work in the textile industry. It also sends a message to american businesses that they don't have to worry about legal repurcussions for using autistic child labour, and lets face to, they are grateful to get any job even a low paying one. Brilliant. Soon, I expect the number of FTs to be decreased, the number of autistic, down syndrome and other such kids to be allowed to come in and live in the worker's dorms. The brilliance of the PAP know no bounds.
