Today I saw that our "Father of Singapore",
Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles,
has less Facebook "
Likes"
than Minister Mentor Lee Kwan Yew.
I had it up to here with this election bullshit.
I get it that people have different ideologies when it comes to government. If you think a political party will do better than other political parties, so be it. If you think a political party is too smug and needs to be pushed into harder work by knowing that their position is not a given, I cannot argue with you. You unhappy your whatever too expensive, OK fine.
But what I cannot stand is how the elections have shown how horribly ungrateful and thankless Singaporeans are.
No matter what a shitty job a political party is doing now, it remains that a lot of their members have dedicated a big part of their lives to building everything we have today.
It is thanks to them that we are "
The Number 1 Most Uncorrupted Country In The WORLD" (with Denmark and New Zealand LOL). We have absurd safety around the island (with Mother Nature's help LOL). Our children are all ensured, at the very least, some education.
So no matter how unhappy you are now, what's with the snide remarks, the insults, the twisting of a political party's words into evil connotations, the yelling during their rallies? Really? Politicalpartysmear? Childish! Just go vote for a political party lah talk so much for what?
Alright enough ranting about a political party versus other political parties. Whatever. Let's agree to disagree.
I'm now talking about Minister Mentor Lee Kwan Yew VERSUS Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles.
Yes yes he dedicated his whole life to building Singapore to where it is today.
But why should he deserve more Facebook Likes than Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles? I know, Facebook "Likes" don't mean anything. But I'm just
IRRATIONALLY annoyed. Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles dedicated his life to building Singapore to where it is today, and this is the thanks he gets from Singaporeans?
That they'd rather pledge loyalty to some political party who has done something for Singapore?
From back in 1817,
194 freaking years ago when he looked like this:
He has founded our country...
He drew up what is now known as the Jackson Plan, and replanned the city according to recommendations of a committee headed by the colony's engineer, Phillip Jackson, which was a segregated plan, giving the best land to the Europeans, yet it was considered remarkably scientific for the time. And even though we are a minute country with no natural resources, he transformed us to one of the most bustling hubs of trade and activity in the world.
Think Singapore is multiethnic? Thank him, he wrote a specific regulation in the constitution which called for the multiethnic population of Singapore to remain as it is, and there shall be no crimes based on being a race, or racial situations would have been even worse.
When Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles was faced with politics, he finally turned back to the natural sciences. He gave a speech regarding the opening of a Malay college in Singapore that heavily involved his observations of his years in Southeast Asia and the importance of both the local and the European languages. Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles personally gave $2000 towards the effort. It worked.
He caused Singaporeans to learn English,
which we are now using to criticise EVERYONE's every move.
And throughout his longest tenure in Singapore of only 8 months, he was considered the founder of Singapore nevertheless.
Today he is THIS old man:
If you are so old and your wife died would you still care about your colony's welfare?!
AND YET HOW DO YOU GUYS REPAY HIM?
I don't care how you vote or how you feel towards the government.
But you cannot deny Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles of his contribution to Singapore - So please, SHOW SOME RESPECT.
How shameful and hurtful is it for him to see that Minister Mentor Lee Kwan Yew has more support from Singaporeans than him?

Thank you Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles. I am proud to be a Singaporean today because of
you.
P/S: Who am I voting for? I DUNNO LOL. But if I were in the Aljunied GRC, I'd vote for any political party because I believe anyone can do an awesome job and will continue to do so. Losing any minister will be a loss to our nation. But you do whatever you want.
P/S: I will delete any comment I want with no rhyme or reason because I only want to see whatever I want to see LOL.
UPDATE: Yes I know Facebook Likes are stupid and Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles's page isn't even official. I know he probably doesn't care about Facebook Likes. BUT. I just BUAY GUM WAN leh!
Why the fucking Facebook Posts all showing off as if this is some kind of WIN for whatever? Fuck please it's not even in Minister Mentor Lee Kwan Yew's Wikipedia page like a trophy (because no one has edited it yet LOL). You know what is BUAY GUM WAN?! 不甘願! 不爽 Let him even have this little victory which he may or may not deserve.
And now
Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles still has less Likes than him, as it should not be. I am disappoint folks!

(If you have not realised it by now, this is a parody of
THIS. Problem?)
