Cough cough

Its the haze again

and its getting worse.

These days

when I look out

of my office window,

I only see a dense blanket

of brown smog

and vaguely the Esplanade

in the background.

If you read the Shit Times

you'd actually believe

that the Indonesians

are bastards.

That the businessmen community

bribed government officials

to turn a blind eye

and let them slash and burn

primary forests

with wanton indiscretion.

You hear Singaporean politicians

giving lectures

on the rule of law

and law enforcement.

Just who the hell fuck

are we to give lectures

to the Indonesians

about the rule of law ???

For years,

Singapore is a haven

for Indonesian criminals

who embezzled and cheated

hundreds of millions of dollars.

These Indonesian crooks

stole what amounts to BILLIONS

in total

and ran away

to this safe hiding place

who welcome stolen money

with open arms.

Singapore welcomes money,

lots of money,

any kind of money,

clean money, dirty money

we don't care.

We just want money,

lots of money.

These Indonesian criminals

ran to Singapore

with their stolen money

move their families here,

buy properties

put the money in banks

shop for LV at Orchard Road.

For years, the Indonesian government

begged the Singapore government

to sign an extradition treaty

so these criminals

can be extradited

and their stolen assets seized.

But we basically said

FUCK YOU

to them.

Now with the haze,

we actually think

we have the moral authority

to lecture Indonesia

on the rule of law,

when we're a sanctuary

for their stolen goods

and criminals.

And as for these criminals

snapping up top end houses

in Sentosa Cove,

the Indonesians say,

Hey! Long time no see!!!

We miss you so much that,

We're sending you something

from home!!!
