Days of being Wild Press Release (PDF format)
Last Thursday, I attended a book launch organised by ethos books. The book is entitled "Days of being Wild", a publication depicting the 2006 GE from the opposition perspective. Here are some of the pics, courtesy of TheOnlineCitizen
A Poem by Ong Ah Bee
Recently, my white MP,
Kok on my door, and very keh ki
Say "I've worked so hard, so vote for me,
Or rubbish won't be cleared in your vicinity"
I said "Dear MP of my GRC,
Dun remember u, so please pardon me.
I only saw you on TV,
Dozing off and jiak liao bee . . .
Last GE I voted for thee,
2% up in GST.
Cut CPF and up utility,
Are still very clear in my memory.
5 years later, then you come to me,
Fresh from your slumber of ivory.
Say that only you can help me
Escape from a life of poverty.
Just take a drive on CTE,
Count the number of all the gantries
Or squeeze a ride on the MRT,
That has not been cleared for ye . . .
My life since the last GE,
Has been doubtful though I voted P@P.
If I vote the same for your spending spree
I can expect the same misery.
So this time round, I vote for somebody
Who will kachiao you to productivity . . .
Forms fill wrong, no big deal to me,
If there's someone to speak up for Ah Bee . . .
So dear MP of GRC,
If life no improve, vote you cho simi . . .
This following poem can be found in "Days of Being Wild"
