A requien for PM Lawrence Wong

 My dearest imperial PM Lawrence Wong,

You are so blissfully ensconced in your lofty position of prime minister and wallowing in your obscene ministerial salary that you could hardly hear the torrential cries of the public to do something about the modification of the obscene ministerial salaries to the level like that of the American President. You pretend to be of hard of hearing but the voluble cries are loud enough to penetrate any pretence of deafness.

You like to portray yourself as a people's prime minister but any discerning Singaporeans can easily see through your sham persona that shows you up as hypocritical and try to cover up by condescending to go down to the masses to mesmerize and fluster them with your so-called flippant talk that embodied promises of a celestial future. Why is he balking at  taking the initative to modify the obscene ministerial salaries? SM Lee Hsien Loong is a vey good image of a prosperous multi-millionaire prime minister for him to follow. Having wallowed for s short time as prime minister in the plundered wealth from the people's coffers it has become such a powerful imprint on his mind that he will not lift a finger to disturb it.This is what the public now believe and it may have to be for the next generation prime minister to  take up the task of modifying ministerial salaries if circumstances have changed by that time.

PM Lawrence Wong started off promisingly as the 4th prime minister but as the saying goes Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Apart from being venal he is also known to be hypocritical in his  outlook. He tries to show that he is above SM Lee Hsien Loong as prime minister but they come from the same stock. It is simply a case of a spade calling a spade.

There is a Chinese saying:Time reveals a person's heart (日久见人心).  His upbringing may be different from that of Lee Hsien Loong One will smply need to keep one's eyes peeled to see over time the real monster  beneath the refined fabric of a sham homo sapien.
