==============================
The chicken:
(Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the Red Junglefowl. As one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, and with a population of more than 24 billion in 2003, there are more chickens in the world than any other species of bird. Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food, consuming both their meat and their eggs.
The Singapore presidential election of 2011 (新加坡 民选 总统 选举)
is the fourth Singapore presidential election to be held on 27 August 2011. Nomination day for eligible candidates was held on August 17, 2011. The incumbent President S.R. Nathan's term is to end on August 31, 2011. He could have sought re-election as there are no term limits, but declined to do so.
Four candidates were issued certificates of eligibility by Singapore's Presidential Elections Committee. As all four candidates are expected to stand nominated on Nomination Day, this would most likely be the first contested election since the 1993 election, and the first multi-candidate presidential race in Singaporean history.

Tan Cheng Bock - 陈清木
Tan Jee Say - 陈如斯
Tony Tan Keng Yam - 陈庆炎
Tan Kin Lian - 陈钦亮

Standard Chinese:
or Modern Standard Chinese, also known as Mandarin or Putonghua, is the official language of the People's Republic of China and Republic of China (Taiwan), and is one of the four official languages of Singapore.
A parody:
(pronounced /ˈpærədi/; also called send-up, spoof or lampoon), in contemporary usage, is a work created to mock, comment on, or trivialise an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation. As the literary theorist Linda Hutcheon puts it, "parody ... is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text." Another critic, Simon Dentith, defines parody as "any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice." Parody may be found in art or culture, including literature, music (although "parody" in music has an earlier, somewhat different meaning than for other art forms), animation, gaming and film.

A Chinese but cannot speak chinese, this guy is going to be my president.. *Sigh* The new generation of Singaporeans are already very weak in their chinese.
If our president is not going to set a good example as a Chinese, students now will have a better excuse not to learn mandarin.
