SDP's Chee Soon Juan has been caught lying yet again

So Singapore Democratic Party Sec-Gen Chee Soon Juan has been caught posting a video on social media (on 27 Feb 2017) that selectively cuts a snippet of PM Lee's Election Rally speech in 2015 and spins it totally out of context this world universe.

Sarcastic remarks posted (28 Feb 2017) Seems like they don't even realise that their lie has already been exposed.

'Fabrications Led By Opposition Parties' (FLOP) FB page spotted the video and made a video of their own to expose Chee Soon Juan's lie.

So what was PM Lee actually talking about when he said, "... I write checks, tomorrow someone else can pay..."?

Here is an extract of the Channel NewsAsia report about what PM Lee was referring to when he made that statement during that Election Rally in 2015.

Mr Lee also emphasised Singapore’s politics should take care of its people not just for today, but also tomorrow. 

“I write checks, tomorrow someone else can pay – anybody can do that. But if I want to worry about tomorrow also, then I have to trade off sacrifice, plan and work hard. And actually only the PAP does this,” he said. “For the Opposition parties, tomorrow is after the GE. Worry later.” 

There have been many ideas from the opposition parties, Mr Lee, noted, ranging from free health care to S$300-handouts for the old and the young; plus “a minimum wage, and if it means unemployment, never mind, give money for unemployed also”. 

Ask for who would pay for all this, Mr Lee said their argument is: “Companies can pay, rich people can pay, and if this is not enough the reserves got money, hundreds of billions of dollars, wah!” 

He cited a Chinese proverb which means “sit there and eat corn, one day the mountain is gone and you will starve”. 

“If it’s so simple, why do you think the PAP is not doing all this? We are so stupid?” Mr Lee said. “Certainly we would be more popular, and the Opposition would have fewer subjects to make speeches. But would we have built this Singapore? Would we have the toughness to continue to fight for Singaporeans and our children’s future?” 

Mr Lee concluded: “So I ask for your trust, your support, your mandate. Vote for what you believe in, vote for the candidate you trust, vote for the party which has never let you down. We will work and fight for Singapore.”

Watch from 29:43 onwards for the context of the "I write checks, tomorrow someone else can pay" quote.

We wonder why SDP and Chee Soon Juan persists on taking things out of context and lying to Singaporeans. In today's Information age, such lies are easily exposed through a simple Google search.

Oh wait.. that's right. Chee told us himself: "Character is Permanent".

A liar will always be a liar.
