GE2015: Interesting rally speech - Sim Ann


Sim Ann's "chut pattern" speech has been made famous by netizens.  I read from Wikipedia that prior to being elected to Parliament (under the GRC umbrella), she was the Assistant Director for Finance Policy and Planning at the Ministry of Health (1998 - 2000). In 2000, she was made an Assistant Director for Implementation Planning at the Ministry of Home Affairs. In 2003, she became a Deputy Director for Trade at Ministry of Trade and Industry. From 2007 to 2009, she as the Regional Director (East China) at International Enterprise Singapore. In 2009, she became the Director of National Population Secretariat. Sad to say, her speech doesn't show the character or attitude a Director should carry.

She said in the video that Dr Chee likes to set rules for others. She added that Dr Chee ignores the rules set by others but is "ok" with the rules he set.  So what are the rules?

1) Dr Chee doesn't allow anyone to reminisce his past. She continue to say that Dr Chee can reminisce the past of others but doesn't allow anyone to reminisce his past.  Even if it's the truth, Dr Chee would say that they are attacking his personality.

2) Dr Chee will criticise himself and said that it's other who criticise him.  Eg. Dr Chee felt that Mr Lawrence Wong and herself shouldn't talk about his past. She further added that according to Dr Chee, he felt that if PAP is unable to convince the voters, then they will say that he is a liar, a gangster, a psychopath. Sim Ann said that she felt weird hearing this because she wanted to tell Dr Chee that she didn't say all these so he shouldn't call himself names first.

My views on this is simple. If you know Dr Chee doesn't allow anyone to reminisce his past...why do you all keep harping on it. And it's not true that he bring out the past of others, he don't do personal attacks as such...infact, he has stopped low acts like these.

As for point 2, incase Ms Sim have forgotten her history, it was PM Lee Hsien Loong and the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew who calls him a liar, a gangster, a psychopath....he didn't call himself names.

I find it really weird that Ms Sim chose to attack opposition candidate's character.  Wouldn't it be better if she has use the time for more constructive rally speech?
