Kingdom of Frogs fable by Lim Swee Say
-
"The story goes that in a kingdom of frogs, the tallest tower in the world is built for an annual competition. And when the event is held, many aim to become the champion by making it to the top, but fail as they are discouraged by the audience, who warn that the climb is too dangerous. All except one frog who did reach the top. And when asked afterwards why he ignored the crowd, the frog said: ‘I’m deaf. I can’t hear them’”, he said."
“We never give up. We are like the little frog. We are deaf to all these criticisms. So instead of telling us that low-wage workers are having problems, why not be part of the solution?,” he was quoted as saying in the Straits Times.

Anyone heard of this fable before? lol. First was his monthly CPF statement, then the upturn the downturn song, and then his cheaper, faster and better. Mamma mia.
-
And when u kiss the frog, it turns out to be a rich, handsome prince.
-
"So instead of telling us that low-wage workers are having problems, why not be part of the solution?"
Is he saying "Come on, pay the low-wage workers more?"
-
no lah, he is saying those who said that low wage workers are having problems, go on and be part of them, then from there, you can hv a better view to the solution, how can a rich person standing up above solve a poor man problem without stepping into his shoes ya
Understand?
-
In another words, ask LKY, LHL or Lim swee swee, take off their MIW clothing, together with their families, go down and works like a cleaner or road sweeper or digger for a year or 2, then see how they can buy house, educate their childrens, and pay bills. From there, they can will get enlighted and find a solution.
I mean buddha did it just to understand the ground better, why can;t they

Why elect a frog (fraud)?
Especially a deaf one.

Since we are on frogs, do you know when frogs become deaf? Here is the story:
Sidney was a 14-year-old boy with an interest in the sciences.
One summer day he started his own investigations. With his 12-year-old sister Sophie in tow, he caught a large bull frog in a local pond.
Sidney started his experiment with the amphibian, and told Sophie her job was to write down the results of the experiment.
Sidney drew a line in the sand, placed the frog on the line, and prodded the frog with a small twig from the rear and shouted, "Jump, frog!"
The frog jumped, and Sidney measured the distance. "12 feet...write that down, Sophie," he said.
Next, he brought the frog back to the starting point and removed the frog's right front leg.
Again he prodded the frog and shouted, "Jump, frog!" The frog jumped 10 feet, and on instruction, Sophie wrote it down.
Again the frog was brought back, the left front leg was removed, and again "Jump, frog!" Sidney reported, "Six feet...write it down."
The next time, Sidney removed the large right back leg. "Jump, frog!" Then, he shouted "Jump, frog!" and prodded the frog. "The frog jumped 8 inches...writes it down, Sophie."
Finally, Sidney removed the frog's remaining back left leg, put it down and prodded the frog with the twig shouting, "Jump, frog! Jump, frog! JUMP FROG!! JUMP JUMP FROG!!!"
The frog didn't jump. Sophie looked at Sidney, and said, "So what should I write down?"
Sidney thought a moment, and then told Sophie to write, "When you remove all the legs from a frog, it turns deaf." -
