Quoteworthy – Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong

Seen on the MParader Facebook page, Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong‘s comments on Tin Pei Ling, 27, the youngest woman candidate to be unveiled by the People’s Action Party in recent history:

“Young Pei Ling has been traumatized. Saw her yesterday with trauma specialist, Fatimah. While doc examined her, I observed. Her initial hurt n pain have subsided. Gave her clean of health. In the process, discovered steel in her. She will grow in strength.”

This was followed by a clarification around an hour later:

“Pei Ling just called. Media wants her comments on my post. They have failed to appreciate my tongue-in cheek post. True, she has been thru baptism of fire. My use of medical metaphor is becos Fatimah is a trauma specialist. No need for media to chase PL for comments. She is strong n working hard.”

It was meant to be a joke. Get it? Or do you really think there is more than meet the eyes?
