Notice everytime some old PAP fart passes on we see other PAPIES talking about COMRADE this and COMRADE that. I know about PAPs original beginings with the Left but I mean in 2008 these MIWs are CAPITALIST to the T, so why talk about COMRADES, wtf???

FOR HIS 90th birthday in February, Mr Ho See Beng's family had made a video for him, featuring some of the happiest moments he spent with them.
But the pioneer MP and former union leader never got to see it as he was too ill.
WORKERS' CHAMPION
'We have to thank the many instances when Brother See Beng spoke up for what he believed was right, and in speaking up, he made the difference for all workers.' - Labour chief Lim Swee Say
DOTING GRANDFATHER
'He bought us grand- children blue and silver bicycles, organised holiday bungalows for us every year without fail, brought home bales of cloth so we could all dress alike...' - Mr Ho's eldest grandchild Elaine
Yesterday, the video got its first public airing, albeit at a very different sort of occasion.
A re-edited version of the clip - which showed scenes of the family celebrating Christmas and Mr Ho sharing a cup of tea with his wife - capped his final send-off.
Mr Ho, 90, died last Friday after a long illness.
The clip, with an eulogy by his eldest grandchild Elaine Ho, 38, at the funeral, gave a glimpse of the personal side of the man.
Ms Ho, assistant director of the design school at Temasek Polytechnic recalled that though her 'Ah Kong' was always very busy with his work as an MP, he rarely missed a family dinner and was always interested in what was going on in their lives.
And though he was 'not the expressive type', he was nonetheless an indulgent and doting grandfather.
'He bought us grandchildren blue and silver bicycles, organised holiday bungalows for us every year without fail, brought home bales of cloth so we could all dress alike...' she told the about 200 people who had gathered at St Andrew's Cathedral for the 90-minute service.
They included Acting Manpower Minister Gan Kim Yong, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Lim Boon Heng and labour MPs Heng Chee How and Halimah Yacob.
While she spoke of Mr Ho the family man, two other eulogies - from labour chief Lim Swee Say and The Straits Times' Review editor Janadas Devan - paid tribute to Mr Ho the unionist, MP and friend.
Mr Lim spoke of Mr Ho's contributions as a politician and unionist, saying that the labour movement today looked up to him as a role model.
'There is not enough time to go into details,' said Mr Lim. 'But we have to thank the many instances when Brother See Beng spoke up for what he believed was right, and in speaking up, he made the difference for all workers.'
Mr Janadas, in turn, spoke of Mr Ho's courage and conviction. His father, the late Devan Nair, was a close friend of Mr Ho, who was in the forefront of the group led by Mr Devan that established the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC).
Mr Janadas told of how Mr Ho did not give up despite firmly believing in 1961 that the non-communist People's Action Party and NTUC were going to lose the election to the communist-influenced Barisan Socialis and the leftist Singapore Association of Trade Unions.
'The natural thing to do in such circumstances - the expected human thing to do - would have been to withdraw from the fight. Ho See Beng didn't.
'He fought on, didn't flinch, persisted, though he was convinced he was on the losing side. Singapore is what it is today in large part because of people like Ho See Beng,' he added.
Mr Ho's body was cremated at Mandai Crematorium.

Pretension is the worst form of flattery.
They are actually commies in disguise..
Because they are Fascist at heart.
Commies would not take potshot and ridicule welfare system. Fascist fit the bill better than commies to the PAP.
