Jamus Lim is a Fucking Populist

Well you didn't hear it from me, I heard it from various media platforms, it's all over the place, doesn't take much effort to find.

And it originated right from the mouth of Tan Chuan Jin, right in parliament session.

Then again, so? Who cares, even if anyone cares it doesn't change anything, nothing, furthermore Tan apologised to Jamus, it was accepted and over already, that's it, just like kids fighting in primary school, teacher tell them to shake hands and be friends again.

All of us, or rather the whole world knows who is running Singapore, let's not beat around the bush, opposition only exists because PAP allows them to exist, cold hard truth, but opposition from what I observe so far their role is more supplementary than core, it's like a big nice cake and they are the few decorations on top of it to make it look nice but of course it's not as simple as that, they do contribute in parliament sessions if you spend some time reading the transcripts.

Speaking of the transcripts, I found the one where the remark was made, but I didn't see the remark "fucking populist" on record though.

You can just search for "recalcitrant" (chim word less hit easier to find lol), after that Tan called for Vikram Nair, and in video he uttered "fucking populist", but this is not captured in the transcripts, the person recording the session didn't record it down, I thought the person is supposed to record everything down, no?

I copy out the original transcripts, see it's missing:

Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim: — how Silver Support is available only to those aged 65 and above.

Mr Speaker: Mr Vikram Nair.

This is the corrected transcripts:

Mr Speaker: Mr Vikram Nair.

Mr Speaker: Fucking populist.

I just find it odd that it's on video but not on black and white, imagine there's no video and no black and white, I'm sure our leaders know that transparency involves consistency, lack of consistency means lesser credibility.

The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
