The red herring is will the current management get the contract if there is no pay it forward movement in their proposal. Should the contract be terminated and open to the market?

You know there was a certain country, it couldn't get independence unless it was with a bigger country. Then 2 years later it left the country. Should the independence be revoked?

If another company give a cheaper quote and never get the contract because never propose pay it forward, you very happy to pay more?

I see alot of PAP supporters commenting on CNA and ST social media posts that KF Seetoh was misleading the general public right after OYK's post.

After the dust has settled, all of them keep quiet now.

So under the contract, compulsory to provide 60 foc meals?
Who gets the glory and news coverage if it's successful? 😁

I get that, but as Minister, with his reach and influence, he should have been more careful and did the due diligence with something that has potentially great implications and even potential damage to a lot of people, in particular to Seetoh, before putting out a public statement like that. If a nameless faceless ka kia can make our Minister commit such a mistake, it is very concerning.

From his original post on Facebook:

Sounds like he is accusing Seetoh of putting people down, when he is doing it himself.

Will the Minister have the humility and balls to admit that he was wrong, and apologise to Seetoh and everyone involved?

Let's monitor together with Desmond

:cry:


Let’s put it this way.

If KF See Toh is wrong……I am pretty sure OYK will not hesitate to bite him.

Lucky for SeeToh, he is right and now OYK say those kind of 风凉话 about be nice to everyone, don’t be mean blah blah blah.

Ask that OYK to just focus on his tiky toky la. Mouth don’t itchy and try to score points la.

No blame culture when it comes to themselves.

Plus he made the same faux pas during GE when he accused Chee Soon Juan of abandoning the residents of Bukit Batok when he himself abandoned Aljunied residents in 2016.

It would be nice if the minister did apologise or dedicated a post to thank KF Seetoh for doing social justice but you can bet your last dollar that the PAP would never slap themselves in their own faces.

It's also a good reminder to their supporters that the PAP gets alot of things right but they do also get it wrong sometimes.


Few ministers I cannot tahan.

OYK is one of them.

Actually this Seetoh made a very good point. Why only ask these hawkers to donate FREE meals ? How abt McD, KFC or any other restaurants ? These are doing much much better and no need to "pay it forward" ?

Also, OYK mentioned it is not compulsory for the hawkers to donate meals. But which hawker dare to go against this call ? What if they kena black-mark coz didnt participate and then subsequently cant renew license ?
Cos govt dun dare to touch mega corporate.
The rippling effects wuld b disastrous.

Thanks to daft sinkies who support KFST and "poor hawkers".

Your tax money has gone to building hawker centres and subsidies - directly and indirectly - to hawkers who now get to deliver less than what they signed up with open eyes for.

And you suffer further because certain hawkers selling good and/ or affordable food had walked away during tender phase because they didn't like the T&C and as responsible market players let their feet do the talking.

On their own, sinkies won't like KFST or hawkers who are always looking to pay less do less charge more.

But when these guys smartly play the "let's screw MIW" card, sinkies jitao become stupid and join in.

Without thinking and without knowing that they are the ones screwed.

Welcome to another hawker centre built with your money where the hawkers screw you right in your face.
