Dr. Lim Wee Kiak has just made clear his stand, his statements and thoughts are usually 'out of context' and meant 'jokingly'. I suspect it has to do with his new appointment - Joker of the Parliament

Now, this is serious, this is not joking matter.
We really cannot lower the annual salary of the Minister of Information, Communication and Arts……………..
This minister is in charge of newspaper and publishing.
All lowly-mere-mortal-journalists are under his control.
If at current pay-check, these lowly-mere-mortal-journalist dare to mis-quote our higher-Immortal-MP, can you imagine the chaos, once the minister receive a pay-cut?????
The media CEOs will not bother…….
Already, with current paycheck, journalist dare to misquote !!!!!!!!
Please, Lim Wee Kiak, please sue the journalist.
Now, when the journalist mis-quoted our higher-immortal MP openly, and our higher-immortal MP do not dare to sue the journalists, there is something basically wrong.
And the netizens will repeat the journalists anywhere and higher-immortal MP cannot go and say, oh, I have been mis-quoted; let us move on.
Can a higher-immortal MP allow a lowly-mere-mortal journalist commit a dishonourable misquoting act ??? maybe even one which is against the law ???
a misquoting act (hey, that is serious, it is not a joke, you know) and say, let us move on because the journalist (a lowly-mere-mortal journalist, mind you) and tarnish our higher-immortal MP?
The lowly-mere-mortal journalist may move on but the higher-immortal MP is going to move on out of politics in time.
