		<description>Thank you for raising this. Are there ways to educate our public to read between the lines?

If what Joker commented was true, Singapore is heading for real trouble with this new generation! I dread on...how they will treat the elderly in due time?</description>

		<description>Overheard on an MP&#039;s daughter&#039;s blog:

&quot;Get out of my elite unsmiling face, Ah Kong! Why are we spending government money on handouts to these people?&quot;

&quot;I spit dirty saliva on you!&quot;</description>

		<description>Dear Mr Andrew Loh and Mr Leong Sze Hian,

Thank you so much for revealing this disgraceful scam.

I have never been so frustrated that I have to use filthy language in what I write.

As you are over 18, may I invite you to http://feedmetothefish.blogspot.com/ to get a feel of how I feel.

Has Singapore reach a stage where its leaders know no shame?

		<description>One cannot help but feel that the vouchers scheme is a self-promotion exercise for NTUC.

There are many ways to help the poor, if the NTUC is genuinely sincere about it.

For a start, the NTUC could contact all the VWOs and grassroots organisations. These orgs know where the poor people are and who they are. They deal with them on a daily basis.

Give the vouchers - FREE OF CHARGE - to them. And for goodness&#039; sake, give them more than a 5 per cent discount. NTUC can jolly well afford it.

Any of you remember how the same NTUC could build a $400,000,000 ($400 million) NTUC HQ which now sits proudly in Shenton Way in the midst of our economic depression in 2003?

Yet, the poor are now being exploited to join NTUC if they want to get the very generous 50 cents discount.

Yes, pay them $9 first before you get the 50 cents discount.

I think Lim Swee Say should be totally ashamed of himself.</description>

		<description>To be fair, minister Lim did say the scheme is for the &lt;b&gt;not-so-poor NTUC members&lt;/b&gt; and it is just one of the scheme &quot;help to the poor&quot;.</description>

		<description>When I went to China, they thot &#039;Oh, here comes another stupid Singaporean...&#039;.

When I left China, &#039;Oh ho~ This is one is actually very smart...&#039;.

Hahahahaha...

The issue about Singaporeans in China is this, over the years, maybe the gahmen linked has sent many big shot score-lers there, kena-ed so bad but of cos cannot admit stupid. LL, they probably window-dress here and there, and everything like growing like no tomorrow.

The last I went to China, I go confidential meeting in helicopter one. The biggest taxi company doesn&#039;t seem to be Singapore one.

Beijing I went, west I went, down to Macau even. I only know Singaporean coys eaten up one by one when the &#039;time is ripe&#039;. Hahahahaha... Those coys should put me CEO instead. Hahahahahaha...

Most of those kena-ed makaned are like this one, they have all the freaking monies, big big scale, huge huge exchange rates, but they no know China society beyond their mistresses and so on. It&#039;s like the restaurant kena-ed makaned by the tax dept... Ironically, my &#039;sis&#039; was with that dept. Hahahahahahahahahaha... If I CEO, I could just go buy them drink teh susu, everything settled.

Singaporeans are very smart... at home very smart. Walk outside, cannot lah~ China people no respect you you die LL. They where got care your grandfather wat multi millionaire know what Hu Jing Tao Wen Jia Bao.

It&#039;s like the airlines, Singapore still dream got what &#039;big bro&#039; ok. Hahahahahahahaha... Where got such thing one? Obviously no know China. I so long in China, never heard got tis type of things.

Now hear they &#039;donating&#039; an entrepreneur ind park in Zhejiang. I wish Singapore all d best.</description>

		<description>&quot;Now I hear from an associate who operates a successful business in China that NTUC Fairprice and Comfort operations in China have shuttered down completely. Ask why could NTUC Comfort (now ComfortDelgro actually) could have failed, he told me that because taxi drivers stole their cars by driving into other provinces and disappearing.&quot;

From http://singaporemind.blogspot.com/2008/02/2007-worries-about-price-hikes2008.html
in the first comment.

But on this link http://www.comfortdelgro.com.sg/global/geoChina_profile.htm
it seems everything is fine, and their involvement is much more than realised.</description>

		<description>Wow~ tomorrow I go Yio Chu Kang to wait shake hands with Ah Andrew~ Hahahahaha...

Actually, we can observe something going on at NTUC from a Union to something else especially since Mr Ong departs.

Over the years, many commercial sectors got NTUC. Last time even heard coffins also got NTUC involved, dunno right or not.

With cabs, insurance, and so many cashcows under the blessings of Singapore... There is certainly more room for them that can be improved; can they?

What do you people think?</description>
