Michael Palmer seems a decent MP even though he is a PAP Man. However
if the government continues to run the country in this manner - taxing
the people to the hilt and hoarding monies for their own glory and
profiteering by pushing up prices until ordinary people become
desperate like Mr. Zuo who cannot survive in such a couldn't care
selfish system then Mr. Zuo's case may be just a wake-up call to the
over-powering politicians to say enough is enough.
More people may lose their cool to their MPs and this may not be the last as can be seen from NKF or the Selamat.
Can people be spared the oppressive governing system as people are
not unreasonable and they are just trying to let go of their
frustration on the MPs?
Mr Zuo is a Singapore born citizen or 'import' from China? Someone saying that he is a PRC.
If he is a PRC he would not be entertained by the MP. He might be someone who really is too desperate to listen to cool and detached reason of the MP who unless he is like Zuo in desperate strait will not be likely to understand his desperation.
Putting a moratorium on further government tax and fee increases will be the better solution than reporting Mr. Zuo to the police.
Does Michael Palmer speak Mandarin? Maybe got miscommunication.
"More people may lose their cool to their MPs and this may not be the last as can be seen from NKF or the Selamat."
Why bother complaining to low level MPs? As if they can do anything but say "YES SIR".
michael palmer decent, meh? newbie MP, yes. politically naive, maybe, but decent? heck, he is a lawyer...
Straits Times reported that it was not MP Michael Palmer who made the Police Report but one of his Grassroot Leaders - seemingly some 'apple polisher' - as MP Michael Palmer had said to the Press that the incident was of no consequence..
Mr Zuo was also quoted in the Straits Times to have visited the MP more then once, and all these occassions he had asked the MP for a loan.
This time the MP must have been more firm that before, and had asked Mr Zuo to leave after informing him that the Government is not a money lender.
Can Mr Zuo parting statement - " I will remember this '' - be taken to be a threat ?
Looks like Mr Brown will have to organise a T-Shirt campaign to educate the Grassroot Leaders to be less sensitive.
Surely, Singaporeans will ''remember more this single incident''..... ?

okay when is the mass order for "i will remember this" tshirt??
but the media give news also quite vague. so we cant derive anything frm the article. oh well.

Since when does our media gave a clear signal about things that reflects something not that nice about our gahmen?
In my opinion, MP can't solve our problem, what an MP can do is may be write a letter on behalf of you to apply something, other than that, MP is good for nothing.
Grassroots...bah.
You know how disgruntled the ground is when all these MPs bear the wrath of the residents for the failings of the people at the top.

The bearable bear,
Which is the bigger problem - people airing their views on govenment policies or actions or government continuing to govern the country with arrogance resulting in disgruntled citizens queing up for bread or rice or facing the dire prospect of struggling for his barest existence.
Think through the heart once.
