新加坡四大名著之"洗忧记" - 主题曲为潮州名谣"地块凉地块坐"。 This Teochew song is often sung during Singapore's 7th month festival.

Where it's cooling, that's where we'll sit.
地块凉地块坐 - 小凤凤（童欣）
哪里凉，哪里坐，哪里有钱咱就哪里捧
看风顺势来使舵，墙头草是顺风倒！
哪里凉，哪里坐，哪里好吃咱就哪里坐
笑面迎人为如何，两面光光豆腐刀！

有钱有势人拥护，无钱时候无人遇！

哪里凉，哪里坐，哪里有势力咱就哪里靠
云拥明月水拥天，有钱有势人羡慕！

这是金钱的世界，谁人有钱谁人好！

哪里凉，哪里坐，哪里发达咱就哪里捧
富贵荣华人人爱，情义道德谁烦恼？

这是名利的世界，谁人相信善恶有报？

中国有它的四大名著：三国演义，水浒传，西游记，红楼梦。新加坡就连奥林匹克乒乓奖牌都要与中国争，这种关系到国家颜面的东东怎能输呢？

不甘心呀！不甘心！于是乎，新加坡英明神武的伟大领导人，与崇高的基层领袖们排除万难，呕心沥血地编织了赋有本岛特色的新加坡版四大名著：一党演义，睡糊传，洗忧记，烘陋­梦。

这录像就是'洗忧记'的精彩片段。值得收藏。一看再看，哇，获益匪浅！（当然，还有个叫厉狂妖毁伊录的，更是不得了，非读不可。不过那是题外话了。）

China has its famous book: "Journey to the West". We have our version too: "Washing Worries Away".


此录像乃国民教育，是本人特为有意移民或刚移民到新加坡的前中国人制作的。目前，每年有数万新加坡人移民海外。他们身在曹营心在汉，与新加坡政府的关系有如罢工工友与无良­老板之间的拉锯战，试图以移民（罢工）为筹码，来与政府谈判政治空间（工作条件）。诸位中国人本可置身事外，隔山观虎斗。却偏要插一手，来当新移民（老板请来替代罢工工友­的新员工）。请问那些罢工工友们能不生气吗？既然如此，在被本土新加坡人辱骂排挤时，就怨不得人了。你们不是遭池鱼之殃。你们是刻意选择加入战局，欣然接受新加坡政府策划­的'大输血'行动，来取代其'叛乱'子民。显而易见的，这是场政治战。你们不是旁观者。你们不仅老远地跑来参与，且已公然表明支持其中一方（不支持，又怎会放弃中国公民身­份，来成为新加坡的新移民？）只不过，你们在助纣为虐前，还是先来点公民教育吧，免得被本土新加坡人排挤时，还莫名其妙！呵呵！

This is an educational orientation video, aimed at introducing Singapore to new foreign students studying in Singapore and pupils holding Singapore permanent resident (SPR) cards in primary schools, secondary schools (including the Independent Schools (IS) and those in the Integrated Programme (IP)), junior colleges (JC) and the polytechnics. It is especially recommended for viewing after the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), or the two Semestral Assessments (SA1 and SA2), or the two Continual Assessments (CA1 and CA2), where there are ample time for some Civics and Moral Education (CME). The importance of National Education (NE) cannot be overemphasized, as the Ministry of Education (MOE) has emphasized many times. Students of the National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Management University (SMU) should also view this video, especially if they are under various MOE or Public Service Comission (PSC) scholarships or the edusave scheme.

Majulah Singapura!
Happy National Day, Singapore!
Let us all shine for Singapore!
May Singapore always be 晴空万里！

Wow lau what so great deal when u see MP yawning? Its a normal physiological human phenomenon., u nver yawn meh?

[wendyneo]

@Sally88ize

Her yawning is no big deal to me. But it's a big deal to the Prime Minister who thought everyone should be paying attention to his all-important national day rally speech! I an sure it's a big blow to his fragile ego! lol. Yes, yawning is a normal physiological human response to boredom - his speech is boring and her yawning is a good reminder to him that even pap mps find him boring! lol

[CharmedPotato]

Karma will get back to you and you won't like it very much, you bloody bitch.

[wendyneo]

charmedPotato, karma is very fair. It will be good to those who are good enough to speak up against a legally corrupted dictatorial regime. So yes, GOOD karma will get back to me :)

You f**king CCB think you will never get old or sick? Your brain is in your A**hole! Of course, you will get old and sick and poor one day, and PAP will abandon you that day! That will be your BAD karma getting back at you for helping pap to bully the old and sick and poor now. LOL
