A lesson learnt, says MP and dad Wee Siew Kim
-
Haa... he is not implying that he is caring minister. He is lamenting the fact that he is feels duty bound not to ignore the weak and the needy although they are slowing this country down.Originally posted by Cindyfeh:The essence of that quote is
"How tempting, how convenient to ignore the weak and the needy lest they slow us down. "
He is implying that he is a caring MP.
But his latest comments on today's ranked 146th appears otherwise.
Oh yes. I think he very much wish he could.
"Oh how I wish I am earning a minister's pay. So tempting..." -
So it's not that the PM is not doing his job.Originally posted by Gedanken:Ooooh, his boss says "We will not leave anyone behind", and he and his daughter say, "If you can't keep up, get f*cked"?
Sure, sure, this is the new, improved PAP that wants to hear what people have to say. What a load of bloody bollocks.
It's the people working under him. -
Same excuse that Isreal PM give isn't it. Its not his fault to 'lose' the war its the generals faultOriginally posted by charlize:So it's not that the PM is not doing his job.

Best part is, Snr Wee says he AGREES with his daughter. That is one tight slap right in PM's face; follow by a middle finger.

Don't tell me this is the alternative "slaughter the sacred cow" type of thinking that the PM wants in his team?Originally posted by anonymouscoward:Best part is, Snr Wee says he AGREES with his daughter. That is one tight slap right in PM's face; follow by a middle finger. -
I only saw Derek Wee's comment and the Miss Wee's reply to his comment. So, I'll only comment on the information I have gathered so far.
I must praise Mencius. He is able to see this incident to happen in real life about 2300 years ago. He said these in his book Mencius:
Your dogs and swine eat the food of men, and you do not make any restrictive arrangements. There are people dying from famine on the roads, and you do not issue the stores of your granaries for them. When people die, you say, "It is not owing to me; it is owing to the year." In what does this differ from stabbing a man and killing him, and then saying -- "It was not I; it was the weapon?" Let your Majesty cease to lay the blame on the year, and instantly from all the nation the people will come to you
Liang2 Hui4 Wang2 Zhang1 Ju4 Shang4.(Translated from http://nothingistic.org/library/mencius/mencius01.html)
So our dear Miss Wee blame Derek for his incompetent (the year as stated by Mencius) for being afraid to lose his job rather than looking at the whole picture.
Confucius, Analects
"When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them."
Pertaining to MP Wee's statement, I know it's a nature for parents to love their children and also contain all the children's mistakes, so we should forgive his love for his child. But I can't forgive him for his failing to educate a member of the society.
A society is made of many individuals. No individual can control another's thoughts, but every individal is responsible for his / her words / actions. (It can be "controlled", tho
) No one can point fingers to any parent's teaching method. But all in the society can point their fingers to individual in the society to correct their behaviour.
As for the poor man incident, I personally dun think Mdm Ho Geok Choo should resign or get the sack from anyone as long as she is willing to learn from this incident and continues to serve the constituency well, I think we should cut some slacks. -
ho seh loh! i seriously wonder how MM feels abt both the reply frm SnR wee and Ms Wee's comments.

Another sad day for fellow singaporeans. Oh well, lets hip hop!

Not his problem lah.Originally posted by kenshin_himura:ho seh loh! i seriously wonder how MM feels abt both the reply frm SnR wee and Ms Wee's comments.

Ms Wee can say bye bye to her career in politics

You think he cares?Originally posted by kenshin_himura:ho seh loh! i seriously wonder how MM feels abt both the reply frm SnR wee and Ms Wee's comments.
By the way, those of you who visit the p65 MP blogs, try not to quote anything from their blogs, lest you get charged for violation of privacy!!! -
Au contraire.Originally posted by NewAge:Ms Wee can say bye bye to her career in politics

If you have an MP that genuinely cares for the people, sooner or later, he or she might want to really shake the boat and fight for REAL changes for the benefit of Singaporeans.Originally posted by Gedanken:Just like Dear Daddums?
No, you need dear elitist blogger here to ensure that the status quo remains.
Mark my words.
She has a future in politics.
You just wait and see. -
I still dont think so unless she prove herself to be exceptional then she will be selected. There are many MPs with children who are willing to take up politics yah know.Originally posted by charlize:If you have an MP that genuinely cares for the people, sooner or later, he or she might want to really shake the boat and fight for REAL changes for the benefit of Singaporeans.

PS: If she become politician hell may be rose on commoners like me -
If Mr Wee Siew Kim 'retire' from politics in 2011 .... i know what had happened ...

66.6% refers to those who have voted, and assuming that the contest in 2011 is the same as 2006Originally posted by gd4u:Rmb also no use, the west side, rarely have contest ... -
I can forgive the daugther for saying such things...
can just blame the government's elitist system.
But what i cannot believe is that even the father
WHO IS AN MP think and say things this way.
