This CNY, Mr Mah Bow Tan is here to spread wealth

Spotted this giant billboard of Mr Mah Bow Tan at his Tampines GRC constituency:

"Gong Xi Fa Cai!"
"Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

Note how the billboard has been “strategically” (not sure if it was intentional or purely coincidental) placed such that it seems Mr Mah’s upper body is super imposed onto the lower body of the giant God of Fortune (财神爷) statue behind him.

A fitting tribute to Mr Mah indeed – given that his Chinese name, “宝山” can be literally translated as “treasure mountain”. Also, Mr Mah has helped the Singapore government made considerable fortune through his COE policy as Transport Minister and now, his BTO, DBSS housing policies as the National Development Minister. 🙂

大雨

“大雨大雨一直下 地上有个大水洼。。。” 没有看到林志颖的野菊花,却有看到许多国人束手无策的表情。 常在新闻看到别的国家在淹水,也曾听过老一辈诉说新加坡以前也常淹水。却没想到当今的新加坡也会淹水,而且还淹到乌节路市区去。 国人怪政府,政府怪PUB,PUB怪天气。问题没有迅速解决的方法。 前天我上班途中,又是倾盆大雨,巴士迟来,德士不见踪影。我心想着,不知那儿又淹水了。 新加坡人一直很幸福,天气不怎么变动,不需要注重天气预报。如今我国淹水淹得这么厉害,以后天一开始下雨,人们就会心有余悸,不知哪一户人家会遭殃。 外头大雨直下,出门前也多了份顾虑。同样的大雨,一年前和现在,却带着不同的感触。
