Political parties are in the business of garnering political power and people join political parties because they want to benefit from the political patronage that comes from being a member. The more "useful" the member, the higher up the status ladder he gets and the greater the patronage he receives. Political parties themselves get support from powerful and rich patrons, eg. businessmen, foreign powers, local notables etc. This kind of support is a two-way street, you scratch my back, I scratch yours.
Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you view things), there is the problem of majority support. Just because the peasants don't contribute as much as the big fishes doesn't mean they won't go nuts and do something that while self-detrimental, may also be extremely inconvenient. The examples of Indira and Rajiv Ghandi's abrupt demise is a classic case of letting one's political power cloud one's sense of mortality.
So the game of politics also involves "keeping up appearances" and getting the "mandate of heaven". Of course, one can be a bastard about it and make the citizentry dumb as apes or ship them overseas on some suicidal expansionist crusade or terrorize the masses with all sorts of made up bullshit and tax them blind but like everything else in life, everything comes with its own set of risks.
All political parties and systems function in the same way i.e. like a big fat leech. The best you can get is if the guy on top believes in practising somekind of egalitarian values out of the enlightened understanding that man is ultimately a social creature and that one shouldn't "shit where you eat" and so practices all the machiavellian calculations out of a sense of "neccessity".
Who are you? What are you doing? Why are you not working?
LOL
Technically, nothing wrong with asking the questions. no matter how low the IQ, still have to answer these questions to get on with life.
Boy : I am my mother's son. I eat sleep shit just like you. Because foreigners are cheaper than me... and they got higher IQ than me.
So what now ?
is that minster a female? cynthia sound female to me?
Do what they always do... refer him to the appropriate help organization.

That wasn't the reason the mom went to see MP about.
Besides.. it's so callous of that MP to be asking that stupid question infront of the boy anyway.
What do you expect the mother to say INFRONT of her son? "Oh my son is low IQ".
Is that MP even married with kids ? If she is single no kids.. I don't fault her for being so insensitive.
Not happy, Vote lar!
IS A SHE.
FEMALE CAN'T BE MINISTER!
Its not im sexist, IS JUST THAT THEY CAN'T!
and this is a VERY GOOD example!
make no sense in asking these sort of questions.
This is a typical case which the MP had lost touch with the ground and is really insensitive.
And this same group of MPs are paid crazy salary to look after the interests and well being of us. I really am disappointed.

i have no idea what they went to see the MP about. was it mentioned in the article?
why she need to tell the MP her son has low IQ? Why she bring her son to see the MP anyway...

Seriously, not all IMH patients will strike at a person unless provoked.
MP got low political IQ, yet she got paid for her stupidity

umm, you still don't get it, so pathetic. It is the tone used to ask these questions that pissed people off. Moreover, it is the motive and attitude of asking such questions that really are questionable. Be more human, sky

it is interrogation more than anything. knowing the way they are. we really don't need heartless sicko arrogant money minded jerks to serve the public. One look at Cynthia's pic tells she is not that pleasant kind of person. This confirms it.

jo, whether one is married or not has nothing to do with insensitivity. Once a person is in public service he or she should practise to be positively sensitive to the public. Unfortunately, we hardly meet such MPs.

Most of the time they are sedated.
haha u guys saw today's article abt this in the straits times? The report was carefully written. No mention about what Cynthia Phua did which antagonised the boy...nothing about her reporting to the police.
And there were reproaching remarks from Lim Hwee Hua, followed by another PAP branch secretary saying that the boy bought branded stuff and didn't need the money.
I can;t believe this shit.
we are so short changed to have people like that serving the nation. you all will be surprised that the govt sector - civil service or quasi also work the same.
I pity the boy.
Now they all trying hard to push all blame to the guy. They are playing dirty politics
I really think that MP is one dumb ass. Question ppl as if they are ppl who committed crimes, ffs. Study so much till dunno wat is 人情味 is it?
Really lo, your husband dunwan to give u on bed, dun take it out on others, PERIOD.
