Was flabbergasted after reading this guy's online letter. What has one being verbally abused by a irritated parent got to do with ruling a nation? By stretching my imagination, I suspect that he compares himself to that of a government & that the father & son team is the people. When the people does something wrong & kena from the government, the latter get rebuked? [shakehead] Really this guy CHAMPION in making comparisons !!!!!!

A father and his son sped past me on their bicycles. Moments later at a road junction, I found a plastic bottle which the boy had been holding on to earlier. So when I saw them again, waiting at a red light, I politely broached the matter with the boy. But his father became furious and started hurling abuse. I would like to thank our nation's leaders for their courage to step forward and lead to make a difference. It is a thankless job, judging from my own experience. Tang Kum Cheong
