朝小野大
Have been watching this documentary for the whole damned day to figure out fresh points for my stupid China thesis. This video is about the DPP, Chen Shui-bian’s party lah. Really changed my view of them. The founders were such romantic and idealistic people. Yet the members now are ruining it, seriously it’s a pity.
There goes this Chinese saying, 人心叵测. Sometimes peoples' behavior actually changes according to the environment. Yeah in a positive sense this means high adaptability. However most of time, they are just cunning and crafty foxes who do anything to achieve their goals. Even around me there are many people like that. Yeah lah I very gullible is it, some people just 过河拆桥 and do not credit you for anything.
In the past where these bunches of 老前辈 unite together to oppose the hegemony of the KMT they really suffered a lot of hardship and difficulties, because the KMT had vast resources and power in their hands. On one occasion the KMT sent gangsters to kill almost the entire family of one of its critics. Despite having these difficulties these people could still stand out to speak for the people, so they must have been very very 伟大 indeed.
Yeah lah, I am a staunch supporter of the KMT, but have to agree that sometimes they do stupid things lah. Look at these old men/women in the picture down here. Seriously do they look like MPs to you? And for goodness sake they do not even have proper constituencies, because the Communist took over the Mainland already.
These old hags were elected in 1947. This picture is taken in 1989. That means these old hags have been occupying this seat for more than 40 years. Imagine you get elected at the age of 50. By now, if you so heng haven't die yet, you would 92. PLEASE LAH, 92 years old already still can become MP meh? There are old MPs who really tak boleh tahan and have to enter Parliament in stretchers, wheelchairs, or even having the vein-drips on them. What a serious waste of taxpayers' money!
Well times have changed and these idealists in the DPP have become greedy pests, just like their counterparts in the KMT. It's pretty sad to see their values and beliefs erode so quickly in a short span of 8 years in governance. We are seriously so fortunate to have such an efficient government here in S'pore.
(This post sounds so propaganda. Haha.)
