MPs decry whinging Singaporeans, call for soul searching

"A nation of complainers" was one of the labels MPs in Singapore used on the electorate. (Yup, people who put them there.) And what other way to illustrate that than to spend parliamentary time complaining. After all, MPs too form the nation. In fact, they lead the nation, so... I guess must also lead us in the complaining department. When I look at the MPs whining about the people who put them there, it just look pathetic. Pot calling the kettle black comes to mind. Here are some complaints about complaints that I cannot understand... "When the lift landing of our flat is not clean … we call the town council..." I do believe residents pay conservancy fees to the town council, who in turn engage contractors to keep the place clean ya? So... don't call town council then call who? "When there are mosquitoes in the neighbourhood, we call the NEA (National Environment Agency)" Well, I'm not sure if they are the right people to call, but I believe if call pest control, they spray whole neighbourhood without permit, they sure kena fine by NEA one... so ur... call who ah? Town Council? Or wait until someone kena dengue fever? "If things don't improve, we go to our MPs or tell the media." Well, after a session of MPs whining, I guess going to the MP isn't a good idea anymore... maybe go to the media. But wait, media might not publish... lan lan suck thumb lor... Then this guy dunno suddenly change to... working together to strengthen resilience within the family... I believe cleanliness and hygiene in the neighbourhood has got nothing to do with the strength and resilience of a family. Wah! Very confusing... Then another one say must go running... to provide an environment where people can run their own race... wah seh! What makes her think people want to run in the first place? Anyway, I gotta run lah... ate too many bananas and papayas... so got the runs and must complete my run.
