Immortal Chong: people must lose dignity before we give transport vouchers

[Confuseous]

Let me explain the background by winding the watch back some years.

In the early noughties, when S’pore was in a recession or recovering from one, one Charles Chong said, “We shouldn’t…be telling everyone that there’s this help available. It’s quite a process to go through to get the vouchers. A person with dignity won’t do it unless he’s in genuine trouble.” Charles Chong was explaining his (and some other PAP MPs’) reluctance to distribute free electricity vouchers on the ground that giving these to the needy would create a culture of dependence.

After reading this remark, I began to have serious problems with the attitude of the governing party. (Previously I had been indifferent to the PAP, even though before 1991, I was a “LKY is almost always right” and “LKY has his heart in the right place” person.)

This remark of Charles Chong also prompted a writer to MediaCorp’s freesheet to ask,”Can a Singaporean no longer lend a hand … without being accused of encouraging a crutch mentality? Aren’t we allowed to feel compassion for another? …cannot use for any other purpose except to pay your utility bill. There is no need to make people beg for that.”

I don’t recall the government or Charles Chong responding to this letter …

True story:

Many moons ago, a lecturer in a certain social work class bragged about Singapore's system of making the people jump through the hoops, red tape, inquisitive condescension and debasing grovelling before help is actually given. Helps to weed out the 'welfare cheats' and reserve the assistance for 'those who genuinely need it', he crowed.

If obtaining welfare is easy, every mother's son will be a welfare recipient. That is what has happened in NZ where able bodied members of society who could easily get a job decide that being on the dole requires far less effort.

These parasites then spend my tax dollars on booze and drugs and I'm the one picking up the bill.

Singapore has a far better system and that is if you need assistance, you jolly well have to prove that you are such a useless fuck with such low self esteem that nobody will ever hire you.

Singaporeans should be thankful that the PAP is in charge. They are one of the best governments in the world.

This saying of CRUTCH MENTALITY was started by that bastard smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY.
All the fucking PAP must repeat and mouth that as a fucking mantra to gain LKY acceptance
Jumped on by retards like leongsam trying to get his fucking brownie points

ALL STARTED BY THAT BASTARD LKY WITH NO FUCKING MORAL COMPASS IN HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE AND SOON TO BE A FUCKING ROTTING CORPSE

BEAR THAT IN MIND NEXT TIME YOU SEE CRUTCH MENTALITY

make no difference in PAP in throwing hundreds of millions to foreign trash to bring them in to displace sinkies into 4th class dwellers of a land stolen from us
make no difference to PAP in giving themselves millions every year so that they can laugh all the way to their fucking banks

I BE HAPPY TO GIVE THEM MORE - PIANO WIRE

Then if PAP government is so superb as per your description, why don't you move back to Singapore ?

If I go to the grave before he does, then i will come back & give him 4D number in his dreams. Immortals huat ah!!!

They are one of the best governments in the world.

I disagree. They ARE the best gahmen in the world. We should convert all the PUB vouchers to cash and use this to increase the ministers' pay even more to reward them for being the best of the best. The best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be...
