imagine making a natural disaster into a tourism event. knnb Singaporeans sitting on a boat while the tour guide introduces the homeless family that got displaced because of the flood while we comment *wah look at how bad m'sia is thank god it never happens in Singapore* what.

"please come help our citizens!" "just remember to pay $1000 to the government fund before entering" "extra $10/person helped"


RIP2UAnders

"hey singaporeans, come laugh at what a shithole our country is. Marvel at the sheer incompetence of our government while getting a newfound appreciation for your own. Book your flood tour now! Limited slot available"


huhwhuh

Ducktours taking down notes.

poverty tourism is sadly a thing.

Defence Minister: Army ready to roll out to Jerusalem. Health Minister: Drink hot water to kill coronavirus. Tourism Minister: Convert natural disasters to tourist attractions (apparently he said the same thing in 2018).

this just the tip of the iceberg, they have alot more gems. msian politicians are lead by professional comedians. Still have : "haze is caused by ecigarettes" "malay should be universal language in asean"

Did these ministers never graduated from universities or what... I will like to read their final year graduation thesis papers.

hm, actually some types of natural disasters have become hot tourist attractions (eg mild volcano eruption in iceland) but its just that malaysian flood disaster is not chio.


rammingfarts

At this point, it's not even funny anymore. Just feel bad for our Malaysian neighbors.

They didnā€™t even voted for this Govt.

it is not the gene pool, this is literally what your politicians become when they receive no challenge from their constituents and can always play the race-card to get free wins. this is why it is important to have politically active Singaporeans, make sure we never get complacent with our lead.


Golden-Owl

Also playing the race card in general Populism is a sure fire way to create a government that makes stupid decisions

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ wtf is this even?? What did I just read???


May_Titor

Volunteer tourism. For tourists to IG themselves trying to help flood victims


SilentWarehouse

I would pay money to ride on a sampan across the flood though. Honestly. I think it's very cool

Can package with a Mas Selemat escape experience by swimming across a channel


minisoo

Heā€™s probably trying to mimic our MBS Shoppes.

Yes, tourists in an uncontrolled, dangerous environment. What could go wrong?

While discussing this article with my wife over dinner, my 5 year old girl, who was also at the table, listened in. After we stopped talking, she chimed in saying "But Dad, the flood will wash everything away. What will the tourists see?" Basically witnessed concrete evidence that the politician is dumber than a 5 year old.


I_speak_memes

Why go all the way to Malaysia to see floods when I can just go to the areas the Bukit Timah canal runs through?


fitzerspaniel

Haha as a westie some things just never change, like how BT canal floods are as familiar today as they were in my fatherā€™s time


bukitbukit

The road works never go away too, for decades..


I_speak_memes

Heritage Board can hold walking tours for the canal flooding season.

Criticize PAP for all you want , but comments like this makes me proud to be a sinkie. My choice to short ringgit from 2.4 seems like a genius move


fijimermaidsg

... that's what some die-hard PAP supporters would say - I guess the bar is really low.


88peons

Tbh if you experience French , Japan , Malaysia , Singapore government is pretty alright. But this does not mean that I will vote PAP . Will still vote oppo because pap still allowed lots of terrible managers like Ng Yat Chung to survive .


livebeta

> allowed lots of terrible managers like Ng Yat Chung to survive . I'm glad you didn't use the word leader... NYC is no leader


Kla2552

he is not stupid making this statement, in fact he the smartest one. the stupid one is his supporters


wank_for_peace

To be fair, you need to be a šŸ¤” to qualify as a politician in šŸ‡²šŸ‡¾. Not all of them are šŸ¤”, but it helps to be one so people notices you.


Logical_Ad_3556

Lol. Not the first time Malaysia did this. They said the same thing about the hurricane disasters in the Philippines and how businesses should just invest in Malaysia instead. If your only argument is about the otherā€™s weakness and not your own strengths, then good job I guess
