Thanks to Lao Goh pwn her

During the 1991 General Election, then-Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong brought up the hand-washing incident at an election rally by saying:

"After shaking hands with a fishmonger, she washed her hands. But she has not done this since."

After Goh did that, Seet's supporters intuitively knew she was going to lose and were reportedly angry that the incident was brought up again.

Seet lost to Ling by 1.4 per cent of the votes.

Overwhelmed is now an excuse wor

Quite clear from the video she was trying to avoid shaking hands with the red shirt funker

She was avoiding for sure as she judged his appearance. There was no overwhelming presence of people at all. She was only sorry she got caught.

This . Anyone watching the video will had a hard time defending this woman. Body language can’t lie , you can see clearly that this woman is avoiding the handshake . Pui.

These MIW all the same. Eyes stuck on the top of their heads. You think they really genuinely want to solve pur problems?

" .. she was overwhelmed by the group that went to greet her.



ok noted

Surprising, seeing she wasn't overwhelmed by her pay after entering politics.

 

[BohemianSG]

actually, it got me curious as to why a troupe member would be there to receive the guest?

The lion dance uncle wanna catch limelight. Its not his place to open door and be the first person receiving the guest. He rush forward with 2 hands opened and suddenly its GSH fault for not embracing him.

If he was being introduced and GSH ignored him, then it make sense to slam GSH.

 

[Nuclear Boy]

so like that only?
last time the lady wash hand one step down leh

Culture of impunity after Old Lee is gone.

Otherwise, how did they survive with just some lip service and get away with things without accountability?

A storm in a teacup.

 

[mirukuboi]

Gone are the days where politicians will lose seats due to hand shaking

 

[tomb]

actually now less people do handshakes after covid. sometimes feels weird when the other party offers to do one.

 

[Chewbaca]

So sad for old uncle. blatantly being ignored
if old uncle was in shirt and tie, maybe someone wouldnt have been so overwhelmed that she missed him

 

[tanbrave]

Barely just one month in and the elitism is oozing out alrdy...

Stranger at atas restaurant different from stranger at carpark.

Both Gan Siow Huang and the old man in red shirt are not to be blamed.

The organizers of the event are to be blamed.

From the video, it is obvious the old man in red shirt quickly inserted himself into the retinue of Kwong Wai Siew welcome committee, waiting to greet Gan Siow Huang.

This should NOT be allowed.

What if the old man in red shirt is not innocent. But had a violent intent?

This is EXACTLY HOW 李在明 and Shinzo Abe got attacked. 李在明 was stabbed in the neck with a knife. Shinzo Abe was killed.

Gan Siow Huang was stunned and did not know how to react.

The Kwong Wai Siew welcome committee acted like they did not know what was going on. They did not explain to GSH nor did they intervene.

In this case, the old man in red shirt was just an ordinary guy who wanted the glamour of the moment to shake hands with a MP or VIP. He did not mean any harm.

I am inclined to think the old men in red shirt was at fault. It was not his place to rush forward to open door and receive the VIP guest and open arms to a female guest.

From the video can see GSH say no need to close the door i close myself, he persisted to close the door anyway. And then 2 hands open to a female guest.

To be fair, moi learn in etiquette lessons.

Never offer chiur hand to a lady for handshakes. Must always let the lady offer first.

Otherwise, chiu are just one low ses lao tiko!
