Suddenly I read in today’s Shitty Times : “a low income family CAN receive transfers of up to S$460,000 over a lifetime”, presumably by courtesy of the PAP govt of today,.

Notice they used the word “CAN” means that there is neither certainty nor responsibility if it is not true.

There are 1001 things that many of us CAN do. We CAN strike the lottery if we are lucky. We CAN go to heaven if we are religious enough. We CAN be the Prime Minister if our father is powerful enough. We CAN be CEO of a company if we have the right connnections.

Really beats me that when they run short of ideas, it seems that they CAN really be calculative if they choose to, never mind that it is their obligation in the first place.

Lucky – Yes Sylvia wrote most of it herself, with a little help and research from yours truly. We do have a few members who help with speeches and research. Join us and help us too! We need all the help we can get. :)

I’m sure the response to her comments on inequality will be a smackdown on the disingenuous claims of the book she is using to trumpet her claims.

Good try, Sylvia. Eager to know what is the response to her speech.
While we applaud the work of the best, the best measure of performance is always how the worst fare.

That was a very good speech by Slyvia – a good summary of all that has gone not so well with PAP policies.

If you don’t mind me asking, did Slyvia write that speech herself …does the Workers’ party have a team of speech writers and researchers to do that?
