An afterthought on NDR 2025
The National Day Rally 2025 was a unique opportunity for the swaggering PM Lawrence Wong to eternalise his political acumen par excellence locally and abroad. As expected the majestic venue was full to capacity including ministers and prominent public and the whole assembly was what you would call a caotive audience. So you can expect a submissive response from the audience who would merrily show their adulation by thunderous applause whenever PM Lawrence Wong tickled them with his witty remaks.in his speech. That he is a consummate orator there is not the slightest doubt so he was able to mesmerise his audience with his oratorical dexterity He appeared to have covered every aspect of his humanitarian mission to provide succour to the deprived people, but whether in deliberation, he omitted to address topics like high cost of living, affordable HDB housing, lack of political space and the astronomical obscene ministerial salaries which may attract unfavourable reaction from the people.Notwithstanding this he proceeded without any misgiving and not without a false conviction that he could overcome any public protest.
He has the gift of the gap and with his glib tongue he had no difficulty in mind-boggling the Malay, the Chinese and the English-speaking with his inspiring and magnificent elocution that there could be anything but amazement at the wizardry of his oration. And this gave him the false sense of confidence that he had completely won the heart and mind of the public. So he went off with a swagger that he had made himself a people's prime mijnister. But there was no standing ovation when he finished his long oration. He was till gloating over his so-called triumphing success when patriots like the netizens, Workers' Party Pritam Singh and PSP Leong Mun Wai who shocked Lawrence Wong out of his somnolence with strong vitriolics for his deliberate omissions in his speech as mentioned above.
But he is quite thick-skinned and he will remain reticent and hope that it will blow over after some time. People's memory is short. Will he be pricked by his conscience and wake up to make a expiation to explain his omissions to the people..
