Last year I prayed that you make the poor a little richer and the rich a little poorer. You obviously mixed that up and today the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
I also asked that you give our ruler a bit more heart and less brain. Again you mixed that up. You gave us a few more brains than necessary. A particular one comes in the form of CCS, whom we know has a lot of brain, being a scholar and all, but he has his heart set in complying with his boss, who promised him a high salary, and probably interim PM till LKY’s grandson is old enough. Worse of all, you gave us TPL, no brain, no heart, just mouth. I sure as hell didn’t pray for that but I wouldn’t complain if you at least give her some looks.
Lord, the result of your error is a crazy rampant over emphasis on growth, growth, and more growth. While in that pursuit a lot of us were left behind through no fault of ours. I think we are just victims of circumstances. We tried and tried but never seem to be able to catch up. Yet 60.1% thinks it is OK simply because they have a job, a house (I mean flat), kids get tuition, Straits Times to tell stories, and that’s all they care, thus losing their eyesight.
Let Us Pray
Please give our ruler a sense of moral value, to do good for the people whose lives depend on their decision.
Please guide our ruler towards equality for all and not just some. No one should be
above the law and special privileged arrangement to benefit someone is tantamount to corruption.
Please give the eyesight back to the 60.1%; give them the courage to vote without fear; give them the sensibility to know the truth from the myth. Please enlighten them that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Please teach our ruler the meaning of justice. It simply means fairness. Therefore the Chief justice must be independent, elected by the people if possible; the election department must not come under the PM’s office; Detention without trial must be abolished; and the list goes on but to avoid you mixing up again, I will save some for next year.
Lastly, please take LKY with you and have him guard the Garden of Eden. I think he will do a great job outwitting the serpent, although you might have to be extra careful not to let him take over your job.
Alternatively, you can send him downstairs as he will terrify the hell out of Satan.
Please be quick before the Chinese immigrants make him a deity – Kuan Yew, God of No Mercy.
He has outlived his usefulness on earth; you must have missed him during your last pick up.
Please, please, please, don’t miss him again.
Amen
Don Key, (an ordinary average not too highly educated person)
