First, you was the one who jumped into here trying to show how competent you are with your words. If you're not speaking up for other forummers, then you wouldn't be replying me on the salary issues. To you definitely is funny, cause you're jumping into a thread started by me and then follow by saying you're not speaking for others.
What has entering a thread got to do with speaking up for others or not?
To ask you to check the word CHEAP is due to your previous reply to me which i dun think i need to further cut n paste to show u.
Yes, please cut and paste if you need to booster your arguments.
Only people like you would like to find excuse to cover your own mistakes.
You can always point out my mistakes, but not add words into my mouth or distort what I say then call those a mistake. It's giving a dog a bad name and hang it.
Dun have to try n play with words, it don't bring you anywhere. Initially there was a member who claimed that by having opposition in the parliament, checks can be done which i reply saying that if no opposition is in the cabinet, it's hard. I even brought up the case of CSJ that he mentioned about that and you tried to play with words claiming that i say he's an MP which obviously i knew he wasn't.
My position remains. When we talked about checks in parliament which you said was ineffective, you should not have cited Chee as an example. You could have cited Chiam, Steve Chia or Low.
Now you tried to play with your words again by claiming that I say public outcry can be a good check. A english professor should have understood simple english. The point i'm putting across is to answer for those people who mentioned that putting opposition into parliament for checks. So what i meant was, if such actions was merely to pressure PAP for transparency, it doesn't definitely need an opposition, a public outcry will be enough as well to serve as pressure to the current govt for greater transparency. I believed public outcry will be more efficient than just a few opposition in parliament shouting for transparency.
You are the one playing with words and semantics. You say public outcry is not a good check on government but can pressure the government. Do you have any idea what are you saying? Isn't the role of a good check to pressure the government?
Anyway, let me quote what you earlier said and we'll let other people interprete for themselves:
Calling for checks need not to be only called in the parliament. Any sensible person knows that it can be a public out cry as well. When talking about checks, it's the citizens money. So it's regardless of who is calling for a check.
Again, show me the sentence that I've mentioned Tung Chee Wah was a good businessman.
Yes, you didn't say you say Tung was a good businessman. I already said that. But this is what you said:
The first Chief Executive of HK Dong Kin-Wah was a businessman too. All the rich man including Li Ka-Shing push this uncle Dong to be the CE but eventually fail. What i want to say here is, a good biz man doesn't mean will make a gd politician.
We will let others be the judge of what this statement means.
The sentence that you wrote above i remembered it was written after i wrote Tung was a businessman n never mentioned that he was bad or good. Again a person like you with such "POWDEFUL ENGLISH" proficiency can't even understand a simple sentence? The sentence after Tung that i wrote meant that ANY good biz man doesn't mean will make a gd politician. Maybe just becoz i didn't insert the word ANY, a person like you with such "great english proficiency" can't understand.
Again, my position remains. When mentioning good businessmen, you cited Tung who is a bad businessman. Wrong example used.
In conclusion, Low Thia Khiang who is a good businessman makes a potential good minister. I hope my point is not obscured because of using Tung as a distraction.
By trying to be a "GREAT ENGLISH TUTOR" in this forum, ain't you trying to pretend???
Is it the nature of PAP supporters to resort to personal attacks and labelling when they cannot win an argument?
Why not you give those opposition some good tuition on the vulgarities they used so often. Come out with something new and not just the same old CCB or KNN.
Don't worry. When the time calls for it, the time will come.
