paiseh

so i've stopped reading the straits times interactive because the life section makes me miss home too much. and ok lah, i am just too lazy to. but dan told me the other day that dpm lee has been crowned PM lee. previously he was chairman of MAS (dan's big boss which is why we were even talking about singaporean politics) but he relinquished that and who took his place? guess, just make a wild guess, dan urged. erm, mah bow tan? nono. then who? i don't know many of them. just guess! erm, goh chok tong?

and for once in my life i am embarrassed for my country.

but i will still clap my hands for the amazing mrt system- so clean! so fast!

in all seriousness though, i really am singapore patriot/fan. but if this musical chair politics continues i might puke from all the giddiness.

back to the straits times index. like 5 out of 9 headlines are about the transition. but they should stop talking about how great a student lsl was or that he was president's scholar in 1970. heck, if my dad was pm, would i be anything less? i'm usually not this politicized (spelling?) but can't see how they can pretend as though singaporeans are politically blindfolded.

eh, let's go out and form an opposition. for those who want to work in the US, come on board because you will be persecuted by the pap then you can seek asylum from the US. perfect.
