How the World and Singapore leaders respond to the global financial crisis
Posted by wayangparty on October 14, 2008
What are the world leaders doing to tackle the global financial crisis ?
We bring you around the world.
European leaders follow the British example to bail out ailing banks.
Gorden Brown, Prime Minister of United Kingdom: Cost taxpayers S$561,000 a year (Source) - unveils a US$87 million dollars bailout plan to buy stakes in British banks.
Kevin Ruud, Prime Minister of Australia: Cost taxpayers S$346,500 a year (Source) - will guarantee all deposits held in domestic banks for the next 3 years.
In Singapore…..
Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister of Singapore: Cost Singaporeans S$3,760,000 a year (Source) – No videos to show as he has not been seen or heard in public since he sent a condolence letter to Kenneth and Philip, the sons of deceased former opposition leader J.B. Jeyaretnam accusing him of “destroying the government of Singapore.”
Well, never mind if we can’t find Mr Lee, we do have a capable Minister in his office to help him out. Let’s hear what he got to say.
Lim Swee Say, Minister in Prime Minister’s Office: Cost Singaporeans S$1,940,000 a year (Source)
Millionaire PAP minister Mr Lim speaking to Singapore serfs:
”The best part is, yah, I know the CPF money won’t run away. CPF will still be around, ah, hopefully, for a long long time to come, not hopefully lah, for sure lah, for long long time to come, you know.”
(Hmm….is this a freudian slip that even our dear minister doesn’t know the amount of money we have in our CPF now ?)
Singapore serfs pretending to laugh but thinking to themselves inside:
“Aye, Mr Tua Tau Lim, don’t just hope leh. It’s not your money, but our money, don’t play play okay ? Zhun Bo, CPF still full of Zua dee ? Tell us where is our CPF money ? Will we ever see our money ??? What the heck ??”

Walau, reading it is one thing.
Seeing the video makes me cringe!
If they want to “chui kong, lumpar song” to appear to be working and justify their PAP (Position And Pay), it’s fine with me. But pleeeze, don’t make Singaporeans “buay song” by talking down to them like they are morons!
83-year-old Hokien greatgrandma says, “Boh leong sim” (heartless) and my English speaking neighbour says, “What type of a f^^king callous bastard minister is that?”
Such fitting compliments!
For the benefit of Non-Hokien:
Chui = mouth
Kong = speaks
Lumpar = testicles or balls
Song = feel good or orgasmic
Buay song = feel like being raped

Don’t underestimate the effort of Singapore expensive PM and his clowns. They are definitely worth millions because they are doing something the world leaders don’t have the heart to do. It is something so constructive and effective and they usually do it behind the scene after which citizen cannot see their contributions.
To see what our million dollars gahmen do to save the world

”Yah, I know the CPF money won’t run away. CPF will still be around, ah, hopefully, for a long long time to come, not hopefully lah, for sure lah, for long long time to come, you know.”
Of course he want his CPF money won’t run away, because he earning $1.94 million a year that mean he have $698,400 a year extra contribution to his CPF, if CPF money really gone, he will suffer more then us. And he said “hopefully for a long long time to come” Of course lah, he want to have his $1.94 million salary for a long long time and not Singaporean loh. Ask this Minister to use his brain to help those suffer Singaporean, rather than act as a clown to make people LAUGH.
