Lack of Respect

Who the heck do they think they are? Total disregard for the MM and the government. Asking questions that shouldn't be asked, interrupting and trying to show that they've got brain? Geez!

One even said that she was afraid of asking a "stupid" question.

From where I was sitting, all the questions asked were stupid. It must've been disheartening for the MM to build up the country to this level only to have those who have never been through the tough times criticize the way it's being run now.

What do they know about politics? If they think that they're so capable, why not run for office? Yes, the people should question the government and keep it on its toes but what should be questioned would be the manifesto and not the method.

Does the govenment have any plans for the future? How can they assure the same quality of government that has been running the country in the past?

Questions such as these pop up in my mind.

Would "poaching" scholars into the civil service followed by joining the party be good enough? How will they ensure that Singaopre is not left behind in the global chase for a better life? Is there any way that the government can help to improve the quality of life here?

These are questions that should be asked. Not questions like "Shouldn't you be retiring?"

If I was the MM, I would shake my head in disgust and pose this back at them, "If the younger generation of Singaporeans thought the way you did, how can I retire?"

It's pathetic...it's political bashing...it's ridiculous. Period.
