Tay Ping Hui wants to be PAP MP

I thought I was seeing things when I came across this article in Zaobao.

Tay Ping Hui wants to become a PAP MP. O_o

Last weekend, Straits Times featured this Ah Siah Gia called Clinton Ang out of the blue. I was like... Ok... What's the story, man? Did he invent something? Scale a mountain? Chairman of Singapore Toilets Association? Hawker's son-made-good? What?

After reading the story which took up almost 1 full-page, I realised that Straits Times was merely hardselling this person, suggesting that he (1) was good-looking, (2) would look good in white, and (3) could run for PAP.

(My friend called me up out of the blue and complained about this article. I guess it's really quite jarring.)

FWAH! Both the mainstream Chinese and English papers are hardselling for PAP at the same time.

Then, in cyberspace, you have Minister George Yeo and his 'friends' in the entertainment and business scenes starting a blog together. (Eh? Wasn't Ms Joanne "George Yeo's Blog Kaki" Peh going out with Mr Tay "I wanna be PAP MP" Ping Hui? 臭味相投哦!)

Don't you love how these people keep trying to jump on the PAP wagon! The list just keeps going on and on...

• Ah Siah Gias who are 'entrepreneurs'
• Actors who can hardly act
• Sportsmen who can hardly sport.

PAP membership is now maciam ZOUK membership. For 'cool and happening' people only. And it assumes that the masses are unthinking individuals who are more likely to vote for lookers.

As for the rest, i.e. tak atas tak chantek people, go lim Tiger at a kopitiam and puke on the kerb, please. You are not good/beautiful enough for PAP-ZOUK, but you are likely to be unthinking enough to vote for a good-looker.

If I were one of the old(er) PAP guards, I'd be like... WTF?!
Whatever happened to the need for smart people with heart to lead?

Example:

If Minister Shanmugam is part of PAP and Tay Ping Hui is also part of PAP, does this mean Minister Shanmugam is like Tay Ping Hui?!!!

For those in the public service, imagine Tay Ping Hui becoming your Parl Sec or Minister?! What a joke to have to put up policy papers to Mr Tay Ping Hui for approval?! O_o

No meaning... Absolutely no meaning whatsoever.

Once again... Association cuts both ways.

If you really need to get a Mediacorp actor to boost your 'viewership', Tay Ping Hui ain't the most popular dude within and outside the industry lah! Never do due diligence again! Just another Jack Neo incident waiting to happen. Don't take my word for it, go check with people in the industry.

Instead, get Gurmit Singh (Top 10 Most Trusted by Singaporeans, ok! Dun Pray Pray!) or Christopher Lee (his performance in Life Transformers was very convincing) lah!

Ohhhh... Paiseh... Gurmit and Christopher ain't no university grads, nor considered as rich businessmen (unlike Jack Neo la). Plus because Christopher Lee is yellow-ribbon-ed, ya?

It's perplexing... What's going on these days...
Seriously... Don't like that lah... Don't make this a joke.
