Some People are really Plain Stupid
Oh.my.gawd!
This is so appallingly stupid that I’m speechless. I don’t know if I should be really angry, horrifyingly shocked, or try not to laugh my head off. Maybe all of the above.
Check this out :
Q: So you are denying that state funds were used for the maid?
A: I checked and the answer is ‘no’.
So, he is NOT denying that state funds were used for the maid? :-O
But this part takes the cake :
Q: You say you are a simple man but people would disagree because you fly first class and stay at expensive presidential suites?
A: You must remember when I was the (PNSB) chairman. I have my entitlement. If I were to reduce my entitlement to what an officer gets then what is the officer going to reduce to? I am the chairman. There is the deputy chairman, board of directors, government officers going along. If I fly business class (not first class), then what happens to my state secretary? He will complain. If I am travelling alone it is easier. But I am travelling with a group of people and if I downgrade myself – it’s a problem for the others. But I never ask (for the pricey presidential suites or first class flights). Whatever they provide, I go along with. I just tell them to give me a full itinerary on these trips. I want a full programme with investors and companies.
OMG, the nerve!! You mean just because one is a chairman, one cannot travel at the same level as one’s staff???!!! Is this person living in the stone ages or what?!
*totally speechless*
But really, thanks to mainstream newspapers like The Star. Please continue to publish stories like this so everyone will know how ‘smart’ our so-called leaders are and how much they care about spending taxpayers’ hard-earned money.
I shall let my family and friends tell you about me. These comments may be rather old but I think the gist of them still hold
