Singapore-born panda Le le

There has been so immense publicity of the Singapore-born panda Le le in and outside Singapore and now in Sichuan in China that you might mistake it to be some kind of divine angel that is the panacea to mankind. Of course the countries that directly and indirectly enjoy the nebulous universal sensationality of Le le's divine proliferation are China and more importantly Singapore. They make it appear to be like some manna from heaven and to gibe it some semblence of reality it mesmerized a considerable number of Singaporeans and no doubt Chinamen and not unlike a mass hypnotic effect. It is not to deny that Le le is a very cute cuddly panda who Captured the heart of all and sundry here and overseas but there should be some constraint in adulation even God Almighty.

We now have Senior Minister Teo Chee Hian visiting China as if some kind of diety descending on some up and coming civilisation to give it his divine blessings the way his sojourn has been propagandised. Who is SM Teo Chee Hian? What ministry does he handle? Is not the post of a senior minister some kind of sinecure? Most of the time he is half invisible and like SM Teo emerges out of the blue and given overweening publicity for some kind of ploy He gets the obscene pay of a minister which is over a million dollars and what kind of work he performs as an SM?

The ministers so-called official visits to foreign countries are usually a junket and if they are;lucky may get some business contracts in return. So is SM Teo Chee Hian's divine visit to give so-called blessing to Le le in Sichuan such an earth-shattering event that it is propagandised as such. It brings to mind whether his visit to Le le is the main reason for his visit to China and if that is the case is the amount of expense necessary for the trip consisting not of only one person from the people's coffers a justified charge?

I have had brought this up with PM Lee Hsien Loong from time to time on the question of their venality of pocketing millions of people's money for so-called public service. I and my colleagues fought the communits in the front line at the risk of our lives and we find these people sitting on their fat asses enjoying the luxuries of life at the people's expense while we (I and my colleagues and others) have to subsist on poverty pension. They pocket millions of dollars and when we asked for a small raise to our miserable pension we were told to piss off and die. I invited PM Lee Hsien Loong to have a public discourse but received no reply.

With the present cohort of MPs like Pritam Singh it will take more than a miracle to dislodge the PAP. So what will the foreseeable future present?

    Utter nonsense. You ISD cowards only know how to threaten and torture normal people. Any real communists you ran away from whining that it was putting you in danger. Plus you all were serving the biggest communist of all. You think there are people who do not remember your gangster tactics? I remember all too well – and so do those who were there. I remember Cold Store and other of your ‘escapades’ that literally saw you cathc people, torture them and ruin their lives. Your whitewashing must be to clean your slate before you go bye-bye. It will make no difference – you are going to hell where your former master now resides.

    I wonder why a communist enforcer like yourself continues to babble nonsense and pretend you are a virtuous protector of the people. You should be in jail for the rest of whatever life you have left. People like you are what destroyed $inkieland. Gangsters never change – they just change their job description and hide their past to get away with their crimes.

    You are one of the worst who were in charge of a lot of the evil doings that was directed by the Dead Despot. So spare me your bullshit fake stories about freedom, democracy and your siding with the people. The only thing good you can do now is die asap.

    Sir,you ask “Who is SM Teo Chee Hian”…?
    Well,he is the minister who snoozed during ParLEEmen session.
    Guess,Mr Teo is more awake when in “session” with Le Le.

    True,the COST OF G is overwhelming.
    Those on Bigly Pen$ions.
    No wonder,all ,when in “active $ervice” spared no effort in “COLLECTING MORE MONEY” from peasant-singaPOOReans.

    Who cares if $2 cannot buy nasi lemak anymore!
    Afterall,the higher the prices of goods and services and RENTAL$,THE MORE THE GST
    r TO COLLECT.

    And, “if not $hiok enough,FIND MORE REA$ONS like “water is precious” as if the existing “surcharges” are not enough???
    Meanwhile,it’s ok to splash water at “Waste water festivals” for “integration” purpose.
    Wonder how much water wasted each day at Garden$ By The Bay?
    And yes,$1000 salary is more than enough for peasant-sgs to eat,send their kids to RI and have spare to buy HDB even if FTs/PRs are allowed to goreng the HDB prices above $1.5M so they can sell their HDB and go back to their own countries as millionaires.

    Too many sgs especially the academics and well-educated young are too busy sucking llie$.
    Others ,less well endowed ,are also busy chasing that limbo on their bicycles delivering foods and drinks.

    It is going to be From Sg Miracle to Sg Debacle if we simply remain nonchalant.

    Singaporeans should follow Le Le. Spend a few years in Singapore, then migrate to another country.

    I find the ranting by Hard Truths above very amusing. He sounds very much like a PAP lap puppy and could be suffering from some kind of mental retardation.

    I can only feel sorry for him because he may end up in a mental institution.

    Ya,Le Le seems happier in China than when it was here.
    Le Le was named after ancient name of Sg -Shi-le-po .
    Actually “shi-le” is broken malay of “selat” meaning Straits.

    But I think the new name of Sg should be “SHIT-le-POOR”.
    What you think?

    Lele is just a panda

    Panda is endangered

    They are also one of the children of the universe

    They thus have the right to be there and around

    Do nothing to disturb their opportunities to live a full life

  • Dalai Says:

    I believe this essay presents a narrow and complacent view of its subject. Let’s see: political contributions, offering to pay top dollar to get a job done right, Is offering something with the expectation of getting preferential treatment in exchange really such a foreign concept in our culture?

    In my experience, Chinese attitudes towards ‘guanxi’ are themselves deeply ambivalent – No one can claim ‘panda diplomacy’ or 熊猫外交 is anything but “wrong by degrees,” but if you wish to promote the practice of ‘guanxi’, keep in mind that is a very asymmetrical arrangement—it necessarily imposes a strict convergence on the number of “in-group” members we can maintain reciprocal relations with…it becomes a problem only when the grooming is unreciprocated or excessive.

  • I'm A Ching Chong Man:

    The Panda is a national symbol, mascot and pride of China.

    The one born in Spore is named Le Le.

    Why dare not give him an Ang Moh name like the many Chow Cheenah people (smelly chinese) here love and do ?

    Despicable fools like these silly chinese singaporean Tay Hui Gek adopting a western name “Zoe” and chinese malaysian Lee Meng Soon to “Christopher” ?

    The chinese in mainland China is proud of their culture and do not denigrade and humiliate themselves adopting silly foreign western names.

    Certainly they will not insult themselves or their ancestors with it.

    It is no wonder why they are bullied and spat at with anti-asian hatred in the West.

    ”China warns citizens in Singapore to stay away from gambling”
    ‘Singapore Airlines to suspend flights to Chengdu and Chongqing from Mar 31’
    So China do not want their citizens to gamble in sinkie-money-laundering-land.
    If papiggies do not do anything. China can just stop Ah Tiong from coming.
    Ah Tiong love to gamble–in pinkie’s casinos or the property market.
    Perhaps we will see many more flight suspensions.

    If only our leaders pay as much attention to the welfare and well-being of ordinary sgs especially the elderly and disadvantaged,it would be truly praiseworthy.

    Nowadays,THE POWERFUL & RICH care more for their “pets” than fellow beings.
    Even their parents are second-placed to their “expensive” dogs?!

    Frankly,what we used to describe the tough life of a person by saying ,”It’s a puppy-life…” should be more aptly used to describe a good life?

    Umm,our MINISTERS MUST BE HAVING A DOG’S LIFE…

    Dear Mr Yoong,
    While we younger generation should respect what you and team have done for Singapore but Here’s my question for you,

    What if, despite you and your teams hard fighting at the frontline, Singapore remain a failed state ?

    Would you be claiming credit here and demanding more payout ?

    Sorry but I have to school you as you are like the gambler that I deal with while working as a temp in a stock broking firm.

    When this small time stock gambler win, he call/hound my department daily, yes daily to demand payout on his winning counter.

    “Hello, xiao di, ka gin leh.. why you all so slow one and not efficient one. So difficult to credit into my bank meh? What is your CEO telephone lumber?”

    But when his stock nosedived and lost about USD11000, he became hard to contact and claim to be very busy. Eventually he became uncontactable.

    May I have the privilege to add a comment on SM Teo Chee Hean which may enhance his formidable prestige. He spent the most part of his earlier career chasing pirates in and out of Singapore waters and overnight he was metamorphose into a statesman to evolve Singapore into a top class metropolis of what it is today. Indeed a savior of Unfathomable genius.

    Dear Yoong,
    To quote some words from DeBarge, why begrudge SM Teo the success he has ? It takes hard work and doesn’t happen by accident.

    You, and many old people are like 马国成 who are jealous of the young and capable getting ahead of you.

    Exactly the same like my old director blocking me getting ahead of him.

    https://www.tremeritus.net/2024/03/08/one-swift-doesnt-make-a-summer/

    DeBarge: If you think Taylor Swift is comparable to the Beatles you really don’t know music at all. Taylor Swift is not even comparable to the man she was named after, James Taylor. Nevertheless why begrudge her the success she has ? It takes hard work and doesn’t happen by accident. I am no fan of hers. But her influence is far better than that of many cynical, foul mouthed and nihilistic entertainers out there.
