[quote=\"hquek\"]I think there was a write up on the meanings behind the logo. For TT, besides his trademark specs, it's also indication of having long term view.

Specs is actually for shortsightedness.. he's telling pple that he's \"short sighted\"? cannot see far..

er...at 71, how far you want him to see? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :siam:[/quote] :goodpost:

Again... Feel free to agree or disagree with me. This are my views only on how I am assessing/eliminating my choices in time for Sat. This is not a bid to influence anyone's choices, if any, your views may help me to further refine my own assessment of the candidates

Zack, I feel that we are on the same boat in terms of filtering process. I am for TCB, TJS - his political agenda still seems abit too strong for my liking. Anyway, he is only in his 50's. He still can try for the next PE if he is really good. TKL - doesn't stand out at all. TT - yes doubt I will vote for him after all that has been seen and heard on tv.

My son shared that during one of his CL enrichment class. The teacher shared with them some part of TT’s CL speech. It was to educate the children not to speak such mandarin. Well… the kids have a good laugh after hearing the speech.

:roll:

I think if my kids' teachers were to do that, I will have a sit down session with my kids and have a talk about the topic 'mockery'.

TT is in his 70s and so is my Dad, those of their era did not take Chinese as a 2nd language. Malay was their 2nd language unless they attend Chinese schools. At least give this fella a pat on his back for trying. Gotta start somewhere right.

Thanks, Funz, tho I find it funny, over-doing it may send out wrong message, and so need to exercise some form of self-restraint.

Points for efforts should be given, but unfortunately, they are usually only worth 1 mark.

Yes, we should give credit to him for trying especially his age. However, if he is uncomfortable with using the language, I think he should just use a cover over voice like TCB. Nothing wrong with that. As human, we just have to acknowledge our weaknesses and use next best solution. In moments like that, it's not about showing your courage to speak a 2nd language that you are uncomfortable with. It's about clear communication and ensure people got the message. I got feedback from folks who can only understand CL that they don't really know what he is talking about and changed channel. How to reach out???

I believed the CL teacher's intention is to educate the importance of speaking good mandarin as they are after all in a CL enrichment class.
