I can't stand it any longer

"Under the Singapore National Olympic Council's Multi-Million Dollar Award programme, she will receive $250,000 for her gold. Add the $62,500 for her bronze, and Tao Li is one rich teenager" - The Sunday Times, 10 Dec 06.

Are you proud?

The Human Battery is not!

So, Ah Gong has more than $300, 000 to spare. Guess how he is going to spend it?

Nope, he is not going to spend this money on his grandchildren's sports lesson, for they are not cut out to be champions. To hell with their aspirations. They are better off as Human Batteries.

Nor is he going to spend the money on his sons and daughters' welfare, for they are good-for-nothing who are better dead than alive (and indeed, one commit suicide every day - and their techniques have become quite creative too).

Instead, he shall adopt step-grandchildren from all over the world and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to nurture them in a specially built million-dollar spanking new sport school. And then, he shall give more than a quarter of a million - $312, 500 to be exact - when one of them bring glory to...

Erm, to what? The glory cannot be going to his own sons and daughters and grandchildren, right? They did not benefit a single shred from their Ah Gong giving money to adopted outsiders.

Oh I see, she brought glory to Ah Gong himself. Her success enhanced the reputation of his family! But, keke, what kind of !@#$% reputation is it when all of his own children would rather move out of the family home as soon as they can, and sever all ties with him, such that he had no choice but to entice other people's children with money so that they will call him (step)-Ah Gong?

Anyhow, luckily, all these occured in a family situation, and so whatever Ah Gong wants to do is his family business. After all, a) he is Ah Gong, so he calls the shot, and b) it is his money to be used as he wishes - if he decides to force his grandchildren into suicides while lavishing $300,000 on his step-grandchildren, who are we to say anything except to call him an old fool?

It would have been very different absolutely outrageous had this occured in the context of a country, for then, a) he would have been no Ah Gong, but merely an employee/politician who should be submitting to the willo f his bosses aka citizen, instead of asserting his own stubborn thinking on everyone, and b) it would have been taxpayers' money, to be used to take care of taxpayers and their children first, instead of foreigners and their kids! Such an employee should be sacked immediately!

Agent Smith: I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.
