Ode to parliamentary debate on 2nd hand smoke during pandemic
As Rome burns and Nero plays his fiddle and sips his ale
Parliament gathers for forty winks and cocky tales
Then stood he Louis, a knight charging at the vapour giant
Heed he not Sancho, but "Hush" said he, "be pliant"
Singapura's pride and PAPies' joy delivered thus a speech insipid
The uninspired with pitchforks to him surely must be truly stupid
All ye Roundheads and partisans of the lightning bolt
Tweedledees and tweedledums, out with thy toady quotes
The Agora where scholastic minds do not important matters probe
But the namby-pamby pilly-pissy that gives the people little hope
This boondoggle parliamentary debate surely must define
An excreable exercise that portends the humbled Lion's demise
As Rome burns and Nero plays his fiddle and sips his ale
Parliament gathers for forty winks and cocky tales
Then stood he Louis, a knight charging at the vapour giant
Heed he not Sancho, but "Hush" said he, "be pliant"
Singapura's pride and PAPies' joy delivered thus a speech insipid
The uninspired with pitchforks to him surely must be truly stupid
All ye Roundheads and partisans of the lightning bolt
Tweedledees and tweedledums, out with thy toady quotes
The Agora where scholastic minds do not important matters probe
But the namby-pamby pilly-pissy that gives the people little hope
This boondoggle parliamentary debate surely must define
An excreable exercise that portends the humbled Lion's demise
LKY was a great Machiavellian and lots of Little LKY learnt from him.
Little LKY Louis the MP who brought up the 2nd hand smoke issue in parliament may fool Singaporeans about his social advocacy but no, not me. Have taken too much rice to be fooled by the PAP old-fashioned ruse to normalise drastic actions that are fait accompli.
Right on cue comes the news of thermal cameras to detect illegal smoking. Don't you think an outright ban would have been more cost effective?
The thermal may detect heat from cigarettes but dunno if anyone can detect the damage these devices will do to our brains with over-exposure. Little Louis can do better to raise the question in parliament. What is the health impact from over exposure to these devices? Especially infants and children and those with some acute sickness. And whilst at it please also find out how many million $ will be spent and who the vendor is.
