Firstly I was called a lesser mortal by this Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC f$%ked up MP Charles Chong. And anyone would think he would have learnt and seriously be more cautious with his choice of words, but now he has come out to say this.
Mr Charles Chong, the ward's MP, said yesterday that he started noticing a growing number of new immigrants in the neighbourhood three years ago.
He estimated that about 10 per cent of the residents in some blocks could be permanent residents or new citizens, but was unable to pinpoint the precise number. Punggol Central has 48,000 residents in all.
Most of the new immigrants are from India, China, the Philippines and Myanmar.
'They are usually very happy to be here and have settled in well,' Mr Chong said.
With his trademark grin, he added: 'When you ask Singaporean residents for feedback, they will complain that they have to wait more than 15 minutes for the bus. But when you ask new immigrants, they are happy that the bus comes in under 30 minutes.'
Seriously, does he even take public transport? Does he get 1st world pay or 3rd world immigrant MP's pay? Asking me to be happy with 30mins wait time for a bus is like asking me to pay him peanuts. (Wait..our Singaporean TT Durai "peanuts" is worth over 600k per annum)
If we are paying peanuts to get monkeys who continuously think his ivory tower has a golden seat for him for all eternity, I rather get a monkey who can shutdafarkup. I dislike knowing the fact that I pay my taxes to support such an ass who continuously think that by comparing his standards with somewhat lowered ones, his job is done. This is not why and where millions of taxpayer's money go to - to be compromised. We were promised by PAPpies to be progressing, to pay more for better quality leaders. This is clearly a case of a used car salesman selling me a Toyota by comparing with a Geely.
Should he be comparing our standards with first world transportation? We cannot compare ourselves with Japan? Just as our local media love to pull a fast one (check my previous post) on making Sillypore a "perceived" wonderful place to live it.
Now I am an ungrateful lesser mortal..soon to be displaced by grateful, happily settled immigrants. No offence to the new immigrants, enjoy the ride of a "perceived" wonderful gahmen.
