our Ministers and MPs should be Cheaper, Better, Faster too

TIME FOR CHANGE, VOTE OPPOSITION, BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER

They say; “a picture tells a thousand words”, but then video recordings were unheard of in those days. If it had been around, then they would surely have said instead that, “a video tells a million words”.

Is this what we will be getting if we go cheap and fast? Where is the ‘better’, which is the key component to being cheap and fast?

More importantly, what usually comes cheap, fast and better must also be safe. I certainly don’t feel safe looking at this video clip. The foreigners in the clip are the most scariest of all.

When some uncles and aunties view recordings of the younger people dancing at their fave hangouts, foam parties, etc, their respond were quite similar to the respond we are getting here. – disgust.

We got to have an open mind. Let people do their things. Don’t expect others to fit into your mould of narrow mindedness.

Tharman, the Finance Minister said the economy downturn demonstrates the STRENGTH of the Spore system. I wonder has he seen this video or does he know what his colleague Swee Say is on about.

We are in big trouble!

We have to turn ourselves into cheapskates

after 50 years of progresses.

We must thank our leaders for

their wonderful leadership

to make us cheaper!

“I have a better idea! ie. line up all the $multi-million ministers to perform and sing this song! I”

But then if those expensive clowns will to perform this song, the theme of the song/video has to be changed to “Expensiver , Lousier, Slower” !

You mean linning up a few chefs and doormen and singing ‘cheaper,better,faster’
will take the message across to Singaporeans?
I have a better idea! ie. line up all the $multi-million ministers to perform and sing this song! I am sure the message will be more appropriate and effective! What say you,folks?

Since there are basically two set of rules contrary to each other

Lesser Mortal = Cheaper, better, faster
God/Demi-God = Expensiver , lousier, slower

Now I get it !

No wonder English standard in Singapore is low.

The Government blames Singaporeans for being not up to it,

But the truth lies in NTUC for promoting bad English.

Here are some grammatical errors in this song.

1. We have to be betterer.
2. SG wanted labour movement to be best.
3. We have to be betterer to be the first,
3. Now they say must increase productivity to beat all the foreign competition.

Nowhere did I see in the video those appearance of Lim Sweet Say, Sham, Sissy Loong, HoJinx, old fart , Wong Can’t Sing, and those world-most expensive gorillas and monkeys of the government. Last I recall Singapore top the first 30th position for highest-paid politicians. How can they be exempted from the “Cheaper, better, faster” movement since they are like us working for a living ? How can they shamelessly ask us to “Cheaper, better, faster” when they aren’t even exemplify that ? Or is there two sets of rules, one for lesser mortal and one for God/Demi-God ?

I realized you can’t comment on the youtube video on the page.

Wow, I’m glad they subject every comment to approval. Because it sucks.

I wish that the ministers of Singapore would be Cheaper, Better and Faster too.

Lead by example, thank you.
