With the impending elections, came various rhetorics from PAP, the governing party of Singapore. A comment from one of the exorbitantly paid ministers stood out.
Lim Boon Heng talked about how his public life came with "stresses and strains".
"It is in the nature of human beings that people would say all kinds of things. It can hurt you but you have to take it in your stride." says the cabinet minister who sits in the Prime Minister's office (whatever that means). So I'm guessing earning those millions along the way didn't help him much, when placed in a position where he should be serving the nation and not his bank account.
Then drawing attention to the thankless nature of the MP's (Member of Parliament) job, he gave the example from the New Testament (Bible), of what happened when Jesus Christ healed 10 lepers. Only one came back to thank him.
Apparently, Lim (who is apparently a staunch Catholic) is now comparing himself and his fellow PAP office bearers to Jesus. And I'm guessing the lepers are, well, the Singaporean voters. I'm still wondering which bible he is reading, where Jesus was paid a fortune to do what He did.
I'm pretty much speechless.
