The word today is PATRON
According to the Oxford Popular English Dictionary, the word patron means
"a person giving influential or financial support to a cause".
Anybody care to clarify further ? -
Patron: A person, usually wealthy and influential, who sponsors AND supports some person, activity or institution.
are we talking about Jackie Cheung?
-
You hinting Mrs Goh Chok Tong and NKF?
-
Patron is the word for the day
Can you keep the citizens at bay
600k is peanuts she claim
All I know is that she's lame -
I would say
birds of a feather
gather to bray
and marry each other
I should say
Everything's an act
for the the day
fake smiles and
sly words
and the crowd sways
the amount of cover up
for just a peanut said
and now the damage control
with the Kung fu
to keep the question at bay
Who know how much and deep everything goes
but all had lost heart in everything we know... -
The elites hold sway
They have their own way
They say Singapore is a meritocracy
Its more like hypocrisy
She was once NKF's patron
When Goh was Regent she was the matron
With Goh's power lessen, with the rise of young Lee
Mayhaps they join their daughter from Singapore they will flee -
Elites will always have their way,
What with leadership or talent
Meritocracy, Confucianism
Asian values, giving good account
Of themselves and always looking good,
Never short of ideas like how to sway
Elites always have their way,
How to charge double on lands
Citizens already owned,
On roads that citizens paved,
Only to build 30 years' reserves,
And claim leadership and talent,
To justify their highest pays,
Then came Asian crisis, Asset collapses,
Despite Deepened recessions, and endless problems,
Endless double and triple charges,
Seem to be the rule of the day,
Businesses cannot survive,
Citizens out of jobs and sicken without pay,
Thousands of educated unemployed,
Put the elites to their true test,
Sorry to say that elites fall flat without an idea
How to save the day,
Except to push away every problem,
Blame them on peasants for lack of training,
Or paying peanut that gets the monkey,
Leaving the citizens fuming mad,
In the NKF case especially over the CEO highest pay,
That is how the elites fare,
Get themselves all the reserve and highest pay,
That ceremoniously hold sway for another day.
