The old man Lee's favourite words in the 80s and early 90s, were "there is no free lunch".

Those people who were invited should have suspected this trick from the PAP.

I was invited a few years back.

I told them I am apolitical and will help people on my own.

I just told them "NO". What's wrong with saying no?


Most S'poreans have "NO LUMPARS".

You got to be kidding that they have no idea what the agenda is? It's a recruitment drive! They are looking out for new cronies for the next elections. It's as simple as that.

Are they paper members of PAP or how else would the PAP be able to get their contacts.

Don't think PAP would be that dumb to compel and antagonise people at this time when the GE is close. I would be cheering if they did.

You living in la la land?

If PAP wants any information about you other than your dick length before you cum, they already have it in their database. You volunteered the information yourself.:eek:

Those invitees are not members. It is their usual policy of calling up all the cream of society to recruit them. Besides, to become a member you need to show up for a few rounds of wangyang at MPS before they deem you committed enough (or alternatively your credentials are so good that they don't want to lose you).

The Minister and MPs invited them so that they themselves can have free lunch and at the same time get out of the office.

They are MPAP, member of PAP First and foremost.

THey are MP, member of parliamenr second and actually last amongst their agenda.

pap ministers are MPAP, members of PAP. They are only MP by default!

Aiyah........ nothing nude! Oops: new!

Every 5 yrs or so the cabinet ministers esp the heavy weights will invite the young and successful to such lunch where the agenda is to appraise the invited with regard to suitability for higher office. Surely you do expect gahmen to rely on headhunters to do this job.

Those invited are mostly scholarship holders now in high ranking jobs or, rarely, pple without paper qualification but caught the high profile spotlight such that the force of the day wanted to rope him/her in.

This time round the net will be cast far and wide as they are looking for the next PM when Boy Boy retires in 2-3 GE's down the road. So they hope to catch either a Mississippi or Mekong Giant Catfish!!

Those considered outside the OB will be suggested that the divide is widening and the successful like them should come out to help society/community by volunterring in RC, CCC, etc...

How did I know? I wasn't a giant catfish but found to be a guppy! :oIo::biggrin::oIo:
