So Png Eng Huat claimed they waited for HOURS to clear immigration. But ICA records showed that he was there for 30 MINUTES!
Tsk tsk!

But uppermost
in Png Eng Huat's mind was how to post a one-sided rant on facebook
that will make Singaporeans angry and discredit Tan Chuan Jin and the
PAP.
So much so that he completely lost the initiative to approach immigration officers to inquire if the 89-year-old resident and the injured elderly resident who stood in line could be allowed to clear immigration first.
But perhaps he did not have the initiative to begin with?
So what's the lesson for us here? The lesson for us is that it matters who leads the group. It matters who your leaders are.

So much stirring by Png Eng Huat in one post. Should we say 'Kudos' to him?
So the 'HOURS' of waiting everyone had to endure turned out to be 30 minutes for Png Eng Huat. Not even one hour.
With 400,000 travellers that pass through our checkpoints on a normal day, and considering the more careful checks being done in view of tightened security, that 30 minutes' wait to clear immigration is considered fast and efficient.
But according to Png Eng Huat, there was CHAOS, ANGER and CONFUSION at the checkpoint. You believe him?
To believe him is to insult Singaporeans.

In any case a delay of half an hour is hardly an intolerable imposition. Unless of course one has a political interest in pretending that it is so.

And then when Png Eng Huat is caught lost for words by the response from Minister Tan Chuan Jin, he tries to wriggle out of a very bad situation he created.
Can Png Eng Huat of Workers' Party try not to entangle himself in his own words? At least make up his mind what the issue is?
But alas, the flip flopping has begun, as swiftly as Mr Png moved to respond to ICA's status.
The post was not about himself, he said. It was also not about the Minister, he said.
The issue was not about the Minister, he said.
He thinks it is reasonable for the Minister to be given special clearance.
And yet, and yet, he said to media (ST reports), " ICA sees it fit to state that I waited about 30 minutes to clear customs. I am sure the Minister would not mind waiting 30 minutes for the rest of his travelling companions to clear customs as well.“
Clearly, it pissed him off that the Minister was given special clearance instead of having to queue for 30 minutes like he did.

Oh, it's an issue of inequality, he said.
"I have an issue with inequality," Mr Png clarified.
In the earlier first rant, he wrote, "... we are supposed to enjoy a day of fun TOGETHER. No one should be accorded more 'fun'."
Is that why it did not occur to him to seek help from immigration officers to allow his elderly 89-year-old resident and the elderly injured resident to clear immigration faster?
Because like anyone else, these two elderly residents must have 'equal fun'.
Hey, that's equality of treatment for you. Everyone queues, regardless!

Finally, he cried: I'm also at the receiving end of hate!
20 busloads of people travelled with Minister Tan.
19 buses joined the normal queue. There were volunteers and grassroots people on the 19 buses too. They took care of the residents, saw to their comfort and needs and ensured every resident reached their destinations safely.
ICA facilitated the clearance for Minister Tan and his security officers who were carrying their firearms, as well as the residents and volunteers who were with him on his bus.
If everyone is like Png Eng Huat who likes to split hairs, then the volunteers, grasssroots members and residents on the 19 buses that joined the normal queue should be complaining about 'inequality' too.
Fortunately not everyone is a Png Eng Huat.
Having stirred hate and anger, Png Eng Huat acts like a victim and lamented that he was also on the receiving end of hate and anger.
The Law of the Harvest is always true. We reap what we sow.
Mr Png sowed anger and hatred. What did he expect to reap? Love and warmth?
