Really? Is this how a MP-wannabe should behave?


Reform Party Fatty chief Kenneth Jeyaretnam posted this  and this on Twitter on 19 March 2016.




Are such remarks befitting a leader of a Opposition Party?  Do these remarks even make sense?

Is Kenneth living in a alternate universe where Singapore is being ruled by a vicious dictator?

By the way, Kenneth, if LKY was indeed a "tyrant" dictator as you say, do you really think that you would still be around to sprout your nonsense and rubbish both online and in the real world? Would you brother, Philip Jeyaretnam, be invited to to be a member of the Singapore Public Service Commission?

If LKY was really a "bully, tyrant and racist", then explain why Singaporeans of all walks of life and races, came forward spontaneously to queue for hours on end to pay their respects to LKY?

Would notable world leaders, like the former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, come and attend his funeral?

Rightly or wrongly, it is quite understandable why you harbor such hatred for LKY. Afterall, your father did go through a lot with LKY. Everyone gets that.

But that doesn't mean that you have to be so irrational with your criticism.

Don't like the PAP? Sure, no problem. 33% of Singaporeans too according to GE 2015.

But as a Opposition Party leader who aspires to represent ALL Singaporeans and our interests in Parliament, how do such biased and emotional remarks help with Singapore's development as a nation?

You want to oppose the sitting government? Think that they are crap? Sure, why not?

Just explain why with rational reasons. Win over the voters with better plans backed up with sound logic and NOT with half-truths and popularist statements.

In any case, I think you better give up politics.

Singaporeans had considered you and your party in GE 2011 and 2015. And the results are telling. Reform Party failed to win any seats, and worse yet, the vote share decreased from 4.28% (86,294 votes in2011) to 2.63% (59,432 votes in 2015).

Even in the 2013 By-Elections for Punggol East SMC, Reform Party's performance was dismal..only gathering 1.2% or 353 votes.

You are just living in your own world with such bias and hatre that you are no longer capable of rational thought.

As you aptly pointed out after GE2015, Singaporeans deserve the Govt that they voted for. And for now, a PAP-led government is in the best interests of Singapore.




Oh, and as a "public" figure, if you have nothing better to share than your own messed-up emotions and flawed viewpoints, perhaps you should just keep them to yourself, lest you alienate your voters even more.
