“When I got out of the car, I was trying to identify the host of Peck San Theng and shake hands with the host first,” she said.


She's looking for the host? She thinks it's some military event ah? Greet the highest ranking officer first then talk to the minions.

You can take them out of the military but you can't take the military out of them.

beside LKY all new generation leaders are lack of iron in managing their kakia resulting so many cases of ownselves serves ownselves, ignoring conflict of interest and even attending high end dinner with strangers and failed to notify the boss after the event.

SGP need another LKY to stop the downtrend.

I won't say we need another LKY now, LKY's way of dealing with opposition back then would not hold water now

We actually had a good leader and unfortunately, he is now in a ceremonial role as the President.

Yes, Tharman should have been the leader of the new age. He is excellent at his work and he is well-respected around the world. You know someone is good when even the opposition also respect him, and he doesn't resort to fear tactics for respect

The whites will never allow that to happen lor

They have gotten used to the easy life - do nothing and get high pay with no real responsibilities

More rike routine, notice NDP and Chingay; its essence oredi morphed beyond comprehension

It is immaterial whether the event took place in Marymount. It is the kind of person Marymount voters have voted into the Parliament... I have looked at the video numerous times and I saw that it was the uncle who "took the initiative to " shake her hand after she had avoided him... Unless someone can offer another perspective... she is blatantly being not honest...nothing new. I would guess that they will go into damage control mode and get that uncle to come out and say that he is not angry and everything is a misunderstanding... Hey presto.... it's settled...

Anyway, I do understand your perspective .

90% of us are pissed at NCM but the Kayu voters still voted for him no?

They still opted for a candidate with questionable character than someone who posted a 4-letter word in his whatsapp group

I would write a poem to apologise

The car door opened
I was scared
Looking at the big crowd
I was overwhelmed
Want to shake hand with the boss
Uncles want to shake my hand first

Handshake by hierarchy is important
Handshake must be sincere and firmed

I am sorry.

All the kayus dun dare for change for non pappies; its that mindset that screwed alot

Why are the daft sinkies still complaining?

They knew who they were voting for.

Be grateful she did not use the uncle as stepping rug to get out of car.

Oh wait. Is the reason why daft sinkies are complaining now is cos she did not spit or kick the uncle cos this would be the ultimate fantasy come true for the pap worshipping sinkies.

Such an honour to be abused by their idols.

assuming that's the truth and not a PR spin/damage recovery, that shows in part that she's pretty rigid.. like someone from the saf indeed.

 

[x1243x]

Big group?!

I counted 9 people including the red shirt uncle and a camera man at the side of her car.

9 people is big group?

saf fight is 3 to take 1.. so 9 is considered big lo..haha..27 to take 9

Singaporeans are generally stiff and awkward when it comes to social situations like these

If the politician is from US or UK, the politician would have smartly span it as, "Received a warm welcome from the head of the lion dancing troupe, who even kindly offered to close the door for me!" and milk all the likes and praises
