PM's National Day Rally
-
I am less irritated with the speech made by PM Lee, but more with the fact that, for the next few days after his speech, the national daily has been publishing related articles. I mean come on lah, we get the hint liao, don't need to keep on harping on it everyday lor. And front page somemore.

The reason for doing so was due to the fact that PM LHL had only 90 minutes to squeeze everything to be said in English, and too much that need to be said can only be said in short burst in undeveloped ideas, spoken in a light hearted manner.Originally posted by nanren4ever:I am less irritated with the speech made by PM Lee, but more with the fact that, for the next few days after his speech, the national daily has been publishing related articles.

It is left to the propaganda machine to expand those ideas, refined it in cut and dry clear print, set out in a more serious tone - if you read these newsprints, only about 10 per cent of the words belonged to PM LHL, the rest were dreamed up by his "mouth-pieces".
Or to be less generous to PM LHL, he was so pampered in his childhood, when a " black-n-while " ah ma was tending to all his needs and pandering to his tantrums, and having led a 'red carpetted' Life into Politics - can he make his own speech ?
MM LKY did not even need a tele-prompter - mounted at floor level - to deliver his speech, while SM GCT had admitted to having one to assist his speech.
To maintain the good name of the glorious Family, the TV cameras somehow avoided those tele-prompters when PM LHL take the spotlight. -
Surely PM can make his own speech.The question is how good is his speech.

LSL obviously thinks you need foreign talent in vice trade, not even Singaporeans going into it, what.Originally posted by the Bear:what do you think?
the PRC come into singapore, expecting us to bend over backwards to their boorish ways... while our gabrament treats them like they are some kind of great and valuable find, more precious than the lowly peons called citizens...
then come those who come in and work in the vice trade..
then come those who come in and seduce the locals and proceed to squeeze them dry..
what do you think? why do you think the local people don't like them?

When they lived on campus accomodation in NUS, PRCs have the most disgusting habits, like peeing on the bathroom floor, with urine stains everywhere, and their rooms stink so bad you can smell them just walking in the corridor.Originally posted by foomwee88:My Malay Frds asked me where he can get miam siam with clams?Any one knows any stalls in S'pore?Pls let me know! Thank in advance!
I am a chairman of a MC and received at least 10 complaints from the residents that these FTs espeically the Chinese Nationals,not only spitting and littering ans also creating a lot of nusiance in our cond.these at least 30 FTs including Prostitutes are staying in sub-divied rented compartment units.yet Our PM asked us to love them who are not only infringe our p life but bring bad influ 2 our children.

‘MAIHUM-GATE’ EXPLAINED: Coc.kle Hawker Tells All
continue from other thread..
The reason for the Prime MinisterÂ’s notorious and embarrassing gaffe during his National Day Rally speech has been revealed.
In his 2006 National Day Rally speech, the Prem Binister had intended to deliver a withering, cogently argued response to those who saw the GahmenÂ’s clampdown on Mr. Brown as heavy-handed. Instead, the argument was not only garbled, but he inadvertently revealed how out of touch he was with the average SingaporeanÂ’s experiences.
By saying, ‘mee siam mai hum’, he created the impression that either:
1. he had never eaten mee siam in his life, as mee siam never contains ‘humÂ’, or !&^⩽
2. he could not tell the difference between laksa or char kway teow (which does have co.ckles) and mee siam (which doesnÂ’t), which then raises questions about what he eats regularly, and how different his diet is from the average Singaporean;
3. he actually meant to say, ‘mee siam mai hiam’, which is possible. But by asking for no spice in a dish whose entire point is spiciness only suggests wimpiness;
4. he has never had to order food in a hawker centre in a long while, if at all, which again sets him apart from his constituents.
- all of which are not particularly flattering propositions.
However, the Prime Minister’s Orifice has managed to uncover the truth – that the Prime Minister’s ‘mee siam mai hum’ statement was not in fact a gaffe, but derived from personal experience.
Specifically, his experience during a pre-election walkabout earlier this year at Bukit Gorblok Food Centre in Hong Kan GRC, where he sampled the wares of Mr. Hum Kah Chan, a tze char hawker whose speciality is serving co.ckles with everything.
“Yah lor,” said Mr. Hum, whose stall is aptly named ‘Humpalang Hawker Food’. “Prem Binister come to my stall, so I offer him my today’s special, mah.”
Which was – you guessed it – mee siam with co.ckles.
“I put hum in everything,” he said proudly, with a hint of defensiveness. “Chicken rice with hum, nasi lemak with hum, bak kut teh with hum, prata with hum, even ice kacang with hum. I love hum. Hum, hum, hum, hum, lovely hum, wonderful hum.”
“The Prime Minister consumed the dish,” said Mr. Gerry Mandhir, an officer with the PMO. “And promptly had diarrhoea. Not the verbal variety that runs in certain geriatric members of his family, but from somewhere, um, lower down.”
Mr. Hum subsequently had his licence suspended for unhygienic food practices.
“What to do? The hum was pai,” said Mr. Hum ruefully, using the Hokkien word for ‘bad’, before chanting angrily, “Pai hum! Pai hum! Pai hum! Pai hum!”
Since then, the Prime Minister has had a phobia of foods containing !&^&les, and always asks that whatever is served to him does not contain the offending bivalves.
“This explains his statement. The hum was very harmful to him,” said Mr. Mandhir. “It was especially embarrassing because he was wearing white pants. You must understand – this incident is also why he just cannot stand the colour brown.”
i tot his kah kia say the statement was printed as "laksa"? and even declare it was a mistake?
how come now change again??? -
May be his Gods will support him with another version of storey.
Like this mee siam is mixture of laksa and me robus.or chinese mee orange with chee kams,a new dish in Spore!!!Dam dam sporean be creative lah!!!
We hve chee kams with chicken rice and porks with chee bye!!!
If u dont know c bye,I will let u know later oH!!! -
I heard from somebody that there is a parady of this "mai hum" thing to the tune of Black Eyed Peas "My hump" somewhere over the net.
Anybody know where to get it? -
Want to encourage more babies because Singaporeans are not having sex that much than the national average which is a factor in our decreasing population?
ALLOW PORN ON TV! -
They hve suspended the mai kums thing on this other thread!!!

The relationship between 'C o c kles' and Population Growth
When the PM of a country cannot appreciate the potency of 'c o c kles' - can he appreciate the efforts in getting married couples to be potent enough to contribute to population growth ?
Biomedical Science should be geared to help make the eating of c o c kles safer and less chance of contracting Hepatitis A, B, or C.
Is there any relations between the population growth of Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia - when eating 'hum' is as natural as eating 'snails' in France (preferably referred to as 'escagot' ) ?
Ask for more 'c o c kles' when ordering your next bowl of laksa at a 5-Star Hotel, or simply ask for more 'hum' at the regular Katong or Trishaw Laksa Stall.
The 'Ah Pek' and 'Ah Kong' generation will understand the potency of raw 'hum' in their Guiness Stout, and the population was growing very satisfactorily until LKY and his Team panicked, and started the Family Planning 'Stop at 2' Program - which kicked in around the late 1970s.
