SDP: Ang Moh Tua Kee

The red words in italic are my added interpretation of SDP's "ang moh tua kee" media release of 18 May 2010:

In the debate over the weightage to be given to the score of the Mother Tongue in the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), the Singapore Democrats advocate that parents be given the final say in how they want their children to be schooled in the Mother Tongue but not be given any say whatsoever in how they want their children to be schooled in English, Math or Science.

Parents are best placed to assess their home environment which plays a big, if not major, part in how children pick up a language, a mathematical-based subject, or a science-based subject. A system designed to give parents a choice in the learning of the Mother Tongue, and Math and Science and English would help to bring out the best in their children's learning, but we in SDP will not design such a system of choice of weightage for English or Math or Science. These 3 subjects are sacred and cannot be touched. We will pee and shit only on Mother Tongue.

Parents who want their children to excel in their Mother Tongue must have the choice of a curriculum that would allow the standard of teaching of the Chinese language and the weightage of the test score undiluted.

However, parents who feel that their children's education would be best served by enrolling their children in a class that does not place so much weightage on the Mother Tongue should have the option to do so.

But, parents who feel that their children's education would be best served by enrolling their children in a class that does not place so much weightage on English should not have any option whatsoever to do so.

This would give parents a choice and not have children forced into a situation where they find themselves unable to cope with their learning of a language, namely the inferior language and culture (since language and culture are quite inseparable) we in SDP are throwing shit at - their Mother Tongue language and culture.

Concurrently, this would give parents no choice and would have children forced into a situation where they find themselves unable to cope with their learning of a language, namely the far superior English language (and English culture) - a subject far more worthy of studying than this shit called "Mother"(?!?) Tongue. (What mother? In SDP, our mother tongue is English. In SDP, our culture is English. We eat in English, sleep in English, make love in English. Ang Moh Tua Kee! Chinese language go eat shit. Malay language go eat shit. Tamil language go eat shit! "Mother" indeed! Shit your "mother" lah! Chinese Singaporeans who speak Chinese, Malay Singaporeans who speak Malay, Indian Singaporeans who speak Indians and who want same weightage as English: listen carefully, you language chauvinists who hope for equality (oxymoron?!?), you tan gu gu, go wait long long, who the f**k you Chinese-, Malay-, Tamil-speaking peasants think you are. You f**king kow tow to us SDP (fake) Ang Moh elites! Repeat after me: Ang Moh Tua Kee! Ang Moh Siang Tua Kee! Ang Moh Lumber One! Chinese jia sai! Malay jia sai! Tamil jia sai! long Zhong ker pung sai! We in SDP will smear shit on your languages if the weight of shit is what it takes to bring down the weightage of your beloved mother tongue against our holy Ang Moh.

Concurrently, this would give parents no choice and would have children forced into a situation where they find themselves unable to cope with their learning of Science - a subject that deserve same high weightage for everyone.

Concurrently, this would give parents no choice and would have children forced into a situation where they find themselves unable to cope with their learning of Math - a subject far more worthy of studying than the inferior language and culture of most Singaporeans who do not regard English as their mother tongue.

It is unnecessary to say that each child possesses different qualities and differing sets of neuropsychological skills. Some pick up language more efficiently than others. Some pick up Math more efficiently than others. Some pick up Science more efficiently than others. Some may develop these learning abilities later than others. Each child's learning experience is also influenced by his/her home environment.

Given this complex interaction of physiological, psychological and social factors it is unwise that we insist on the same learning-curve for all children as far as PSLE weightage of English, Math and Science is concerned, and yet we will still insist on the same learning-curve no matter what. It's English wor! It's Math wor! It's Science wor! All superior and all worthy subjects! How can lower weightage? The same however cannot be said for your shit language and your shit culture, my "dear" Chinese-speaking, Malay-speaking and Tamil-speaking Singaporeans! It is unwise that we insist on the same learning-curve for all children when it comes to Mother Tongues and that's the only subject we are going to urinate and throw shit on: your mother tongue and hence your culture.

Having no options for our children and not allowing parents to choose when it comes to superior language and culture (read: English), and worthy subjects (read: Math and Science), but having options for our children and allowing parents to choose when it comes to inferior shits (read: the shit Mother Tongue languages and culture of Singaporeans who do not speak English at home), with consultation with teachers, the best option for the child would enable us to approach the issue in an enlightened manner.

In this way, we will continue to be able to uphold the standards of the Mother Tongue for those who want to uphold it and downgrade the standards of the Mother Tongue for those who want to downgrade it, while allowing families who feel that their children are unable to cope with the pace and level of learning the language an alternative way to excel.

In this way, we will continue to be able to uphold the standards of the far-superior god-like English language (which all of us at SDP worship), for everyone, by not allowing families who feel that their children are unable to cope with the pace and level of learning of the language any alternative way to excel.

In this way, we will also continue to be able to uphold the standards of Math (which all of us at SDP think are far worthy than your shit mother tongue/culture) by not allowing families who feel that their children are unable to cope with the pace and level of learning of Math any alternative way to excel.

In this way, we will also continue to be able to uphold the standards of Science (which all of us at SDP think are far worthy than your shit mother tongue/culture) by not allowing families who feel that their children are unable to cope with the pace and level of learning of Science any alternative way to excel.

Our ultimate aim should be to facilitate our children's learning of English, Math and Science to a high level, with no regard to whether they like the subject or not, or whether they can cope with the subject or not, and bring out the best in them, enabling them to fulfill their potential in English, Math and Science by not lowering the standards of these superior subjects through forcing the pupils to grit their teeth to cross the high hurdle. At the same time, our ultimate aim should be to facilitate our children's "learning" of Mother Tongue to whatever low level they want to lower it to, including zero weightage, and bring out the best in them, enabling them to fulfill their potential whatever they might be - be it the potential of being bananas or fake ang mohs, like we in SDP are.
