Minister for Manpower Josephine Teo teared up in Parliament yesterday (1 Sep) as she concluded her speech on job anxieties among Singaporeans, assuring that the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has the best interests of all workers in mind.

“Please know that you too are always in our hearts. However long this storm lasts, MOM will walk the journey together with you. However tough it may be, we will help you bounce back,” said Ms Teo in a teary tone.

Following this outwardly emotional scene in Parliament, People’s Voice (PV) chief Lim Tean took to his Facebook earlier today (2 Sep) to call out the People’s Action Party (PAP) ministers for shedding tears whenever they are force to come to terms with their failures.

“These so called 4G PAP Ministers are a pathetic lot who cry in Parliament every so often when they are confronted with the ugly truth of their incompetence!” he wrote.

According to Mr Lim, when the ruling party was unable to handle the COVID-19 pandemic effectively, it cried for the frontline workers. Similarly, tears started rolling down when it could not protect Singaporean jobs.

“If only Politics was about crying, the best school at teaching how to cry would be the mandatory first stop for all aspiring Politicians,” he remarked.

Mr Lim stressed that Singaporeans ought to be served by men and women who are resolute in putting people first and protecting their interest.

“No amount of tears can wash away the shame of having Singapore being described as one of the greatest failures in the World as far as Covid is concerned, or the anxiety of Singaporeans who are seeing their jobs being taken away by foreigners, or the anger of the Many who see through all the empty words being spilled in Parliament about protecting Singaporean jobs when there is no sincerity in changing the existing labour policies which have led to nearly 400,000 Foreign PMETs working in our country!” he asserted.

Mr Lim went on to say that these weak men and women of the PAP will bring Singapore to utter ruin in the next decade.

Hence, he reiterated the need for strong men and women – who have faced down the adversities of life – to pull Singapore through the greatest crisis of modern times, adding that the country does not need “cry babies who have been pampered by high salaries and live in ivory towers”.

马国会辩论 巴西古当废料污染不晋紧急状态

柔佛巴西古当金金河化学废料污染事件,马国国会下议院通过紧急动议,于今日下午进行辩论联邦政府是否宣布该区进入紧急状态,不过该国首相署副部长哈尼巴在总结时宣布,巴西古当不需要进入紧急状态。 哈尼巴表示,柔佛苏丹依布拉欣陛下已谕令,成立特别天灾委员会,政府则拨款800万令吉(约26.5万新元)作为废料清理用途,证明该州有能力处理灾情。 他也指出,虽然没有宣布巴西古当进入紧急状态,但政府已总动员参与救灾情况,实际救援行动提升到紧急状态等级。 人民公正党巴西古当国会议员哈山卡林今天在国会议会厅内要求国会,撇开技术程序,马上辩论是否宣布巴西古当进入紧急状态。他是援引议会常规第18(1)条文提出有关的紧急动议。 呼吁部长们给予支持 他呼吁在座的部长给予支持,一起承担责任,并表示金金河化学废料污染事件是严重课题,事发当天就清理了约2.43吨的废料。“自毒气污染爆发至今,已经有500人入院,9人被送入深切治疗病房,111所学校被宣布关闭。不能等到星期一再辩论了,这是人命问题,今天就要辩论!” 他表示,今早他已经致函国会下议院议长拿督莫哈末阿里夫,盼议长能够批准有关的临时动议。 哈山卡林也在今天的部长提问环节中,要求能源、科技、科学、气候变化即环境部长杨美盈协助他,宣布巴西古当进入紧急状态。惟杨美盈表示,会将所有国会议员的要求,提呈给天灾委员会,但是这些都不是她一个人能决定的。 他也呼吁国会议员们放下成见,别把课题政治化或互相指责,而且环境部并没有要逃脱任何责任。 巫统笨珍国会议员拿督斯里阿末玛斯兰之前也曾经指出,金金河的清理工作需要耗时七天,因此建议部长向首相敦马哈迪要求,宣布巴西古当进入紧急状态。 议长随后表示,基于有关事件属于特定事件、紧急和涉及公众利益,因此通过有关动议,并安排在下午进行。 在下议院部长问答环节中,杨美盈指出,巴西古当金金河化学废料污染事件属于严重罪行,所以她已经和总检察长商讨,是否可以援引更多其他法令提空嫌犯。…
