Now it's God's fault?

S Ramesh reported in Today online: S'poreans expect everything to be perfect, but some things are 'an act of God' [Link]

HE said:

We are daft
We are complacent
We are champion grumblers
We need to have spurs stuck to our hide, and now
We expect everything to be perfect. . .

These are derogatory description of citizens of '1st World Singapore' governed by creme de la creme PAP leaders.

We were at fault when we did not "stop at 2". Now an additional 100,000 foreigners is needed this year to compete with locals for jobs and fight for space to squeeze in buses and trains. Soon, very soon, we may have to fight tooth over nail for the air that we breathe!

Congratulations! It's not our fault. I'm glad that Singaporeans are not being blamed for causing the flood. It's the act of God, he said. God may be responsible for the rain but I doubt God is responsible for the freak(ing) flood.

MM Lee said, "whatever we do when we get extraordinary rains like we had recently, no amount of engineering can prevent flooding." Pardon me, but aren't we paying the best brains for extraordinary performances? Or are we paying through our noses just to prevent our mothers, wives and daughters from being maids in other countries?

I know PAP ministers are not gods but if they act like gods and are paid like gods, they had better perform like gods instead of blaming God for heavy rain and fallen trees!

Are they so omnipotent that being honest, transparent and taking responsibility for screw-ups is considered a human weakness? Or is it their culture to come out with silly statement like "PUB has completed the investigation of the flood incident at Orchard Road. The investigation found that the flood was caused by an intense storm"? [Link] Or, as usual, wait for the leederest of the leaders to come up with some high falutin' comment to shut the case up so that everybody else can STFU and move on?

Yes, those embarrassing news keep piling up. . . showing "the power that is" may not be as powerful as the power that actually is. Is this an omen of something more sinister to come?

1. The flood that's caused by the perfect storm [Link]
   
2. The hullabaloo on the video of Martyn See on Dr Lim Hock Siew's speech [Link]
3. The popularity of political prisoner Teo Soh Lung's book "Beyond the Blue Gate"
4. The detention (without trial) of an NSman who's been alleged to be self-radicalised [Link]
   
5. The arrest of author Alan Shadrake, author of Once a Jolly Hangman [Link]
   
6. The increasing number of falling trees that kill [Link]
7. The photographer who got handcuffed by police for taking embarrassing pictures of flood
8. The unhappiness of a rear admiral who was trapped by the flood in Telok Kurau [Link]
9. The effort of lawyer M Ravi taking on Law Mintster Shanmugum and the judiciary to save the life of 22-year-old Yong Vui Kong [Link]
   

Will all these lead to a perfect storm that may rain on our parade at Padang on National Day of August 9?

God knows.
