The things around us we don't see

Since it has been more than a week since I last blog, my immediate thoughts were what should I blog about. So there was I thinking

1) Politics in Singapore. But honestly I can count with 2 fingers the amount of people reading my blog that will be remotely interested.

2) My Job so far at Right Angle. Seeing People like Janell, Cindy and Dinesh enjoying their job so much just make it seems that I am having Macdonald's Ice Milo while everyone else is sipping down ice-blended mocha at Starbucks. And the worst part is that sometimes they run out of ice milo so i have to drink tea.

3) Some things which I have notice recently in Singapore.

I am going to comment on number 3. If it doesn't sound like your cup of tea. Please kindly proced to the link 'dinesh'. And please do not click on 'zul'. Nope it's not beacause I don't support his blog but because the link does not work.

Issue number one: Everyday I take the MRT down to work and then back from work. I can't help but notice two things. Firstly, why on earth is it that a 1st world nation such as Singapore that boast a ' World Class Transportion Hub' have 80% of the train's total riders standing up? Why can't the frequency of trains be more rapid?

Secondly I can't help but notice 50% of the faces I see on the MRT have the gloomy depressing look. The kinda look one gets after 4 years in the same shitty job they hate simply beacause the assholes in the PAP tells us not to be choosy during the bad time but to endure. Now can I ask you if you are from MDA or PAP. Is this suppose to be a good time or a bad time? If you say good then where are the jobs? If you say bad, it means that for 5 years.....the PAP and it's crew have been doing nothing other than promising us that the future is 'bright' and wasting their time on their latest temesak holdings investment oversees. And for goodness sake, we are not dumbo....we know who owns temesak holding. It's a government-owned company isn't it?

If I am wrong here.....please feel free to inform me of the correct term of what Temesak Holding should be labelled. Cose after 18 years living in Singapore, I still do not know excatly what kinda company it is suppose to be.

Anyway I came across this interesting quote

Mr Khaw had said in Parliament: “I take my hat off to the NKF”

Mr Lim added: “NKF is on quite a sound record” and then categorically assured everyone that “NKF is in full compliance with the regulations.”

hmm....If I am dumb, then our very own Mr health minister gotta be a dumber man than me. I wonder what he was doing everyday as Health Minister if his very own NKF can get into such a scandal.

BTW i still think he is one of the better person in cabinet. I certainly think he has intergity

information

So it is Right Angle I am going. I am certainly satisfied with the attachment posting that i have received. Right Angle is like the 1st media company I known since i came to Media Studies outside of Mediacorp and SPH. So it's a case of getting something that i know rather than getting a company that I do not know.

Well the working hours has also been kind to me. At least it does not offically states that i have to work on weekends. While I am still prepared to have to give up some weekends for work's sake. It is indeed comforting to know that my weekends will be free unless told otherwise. Rather than having to permenantly work on saturdays. Like many of my unfortuante classmates.hehe

And No, unlike Siyi, i ain't getting $600 a month. Instead i am gonna get the minimum amount that the school is set. However, there are still people getting less than me. I got the minimum, some people got less than me? do the maths yourself.

So thats my attachment in a nutshell. Have to of course work on the punctuality problem before it gets out of hand.

The 'truth'

"So does Temasek. But they make their own commercial decision and when they go in, they have to comply with the laws, rules of the countries they go into." ---Our very own PM, on the riots caused by Temesak Holdings.

I loved the word "commercial decision". It so conveniently release our most popular political Party, PAP from all crimes. Just say 'oh nothing we can do, it's a commericial decision'.

"Singaporeans are clear in their mind, they are well read, they have read all about the NKF. Who are the bad guys in NKF? Who are the good guys as far as NKF matter is concerned? Who let the facts all come out? Who organised the investigation? Who transformed NKF? Who brought about the changes and who saved NKF because it was at a risk of being collapsed?"----- Mr Khaw, Health Minister, indirectly saying he saved NKF. Wow, we got a Superman in Cabinet people.

Hey people, next time someone from NKF calls you or ask you for donations . You can thank Mr Khaw for his efforts in 'saving' NKF'. Now thats an Minister worth having isn't it!

Anyway we now finally understand why Ho Ching, Wife of Prime Minister Lee Hsian Loong and CEO of Temesak Holding, A State own Investment Company is ranked as one of the most powerful lady in Asia.

Just ask Thailand, Just ask Thaksin, Ex-Thailand Prime Minister.
