It may be the last time if voters are <b>BLIND</b> to PAP's <b>DEAF AND DUMB</b> approach. <br /><br />Then we will be truly <b>DAFT,</b> as MM Lee labelled us. <br /><br /><b>Dim-sighted, Deaf, Dumb and Daft - Then we might as well be Dead!</b> <br /><br />5Ds - I hope these are not the values represented by the 5 stars on our country's flag!<br /><br />The Pariah<br />www.singaporeenbloc.blogspot.comThe Pariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725490396019425388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176905114532816372.post-71205499196359233792011-03-15T01:22:37.165-07:002011-03-15T01:22:37.165-07:00Either he has memory loss, senile or arrogant.

That resulted in the 80s works on Bukit Timah canal.<br /><br />After that, there was no major drainage review.<br /><br />Similarly, we assume that Singapore is not immune to earthquakes.
