Lim Swee Say: if you’re ‘betterer’ today, strive to be ‘betterest’

PAP Minister without portfolio Lim Swee Say who has the propensity of making embarrassing gaffes shocked Singaporeans again with yet another “improvisation” of the English language.

Speaking to reporters on the Customer-Centric Initiative, Mr Lim urged every worker in the service sector to adopt a productivity target and to strive to be the best.

“If every one of us in the service sector in Singapore can adopt the same mindset, in terms of having a service quality target, a productivity target, an innovation target – maybe with the three coming together, there is hope we can achieve a breakthrough in a very widespread manner.”

He added that with stiff global competition, gunning for gold is now not good enough.

“If you’re the best today, strive to be better. If you’re better today, strive to be ‘betterer’ and if you’re ‘betterer’ today, strive to be ‘betterest’ so that over time, Singapore’s service standards can just keep getting better, ‘betterer’ and ‘betterest’”, he was quoted as saying in Channel News Asia.

Mr Lim, who is also NTUC Secretary-General, is famous for coining the phrase “cheaper, better and faster” to exhort Singaporeans to increase their competitiveness in 2007. A few weeks later, Mr Lim received a massive 60 percent pay rise from the PAP. He is set to receive a 8.8 percent pay hike this year.

Though Mr Lim is not in charge of any ministries, he earns more than $2 million dollars a year, or 4 times the annual salary of U.S. President Barack Obama, thanks to the “generosity” of Singapore taxpayers.

    I nearly flipped watching that on TV! You must hear it in his own voice!

    It will be excellent if TR can post a video clip.

  • Analyst:

    He is trying to show that he speaks better than Queen’s English.
    For heaven’s sake don’t try to impress with your rotten English.

  • Wooden Spoon No 2:

    He must have been using the Mother of All Wooden Spoon-Goat Cock Tong’s tool to cleanse his mouth.

  • Beng beng:

    Which school did this Ah Beng go to?
    Millionster Beng.
    With apologies to other Bengs.

  • Head Roll:

    Somebody’s head in Channel News Asia is going roll for airing the segment.

  • U_chewonit:

    How many goondus do we need to feed in the PAP political machinery in Singapore? This LSS is one goondu that need to go. He sounds like a deranged Hookian Ah-Che making insignificant and ludricrous statements all the time. Maybe as a Minister-without-Portfolio gives him a lot of time to think up stupid terms to use in his speeches to the press. What “customer-centricity” is he talking about when his own co-horts don’t care of the customers 0 the people of Singapore – and their feedback….????LOL

  • Daft Sinkie:

    In the spirit of George W. Bush’s “Bushisms”, I put forward the suggestion that Lim Swee Say’s…um, epic failure and murder of the English language have a name of its own.

    Say-isms? Frog-isms? Or something else?

    Oh, and what’s next, Mr. Lim? Bestestest? Ha ha ha!

  • haha:

    epic fail in english..

  • smallfly:

    It is of his onus or the onuses of his cronies to justify his/their annual million-dollar salary-package/remunerations to the international communities which have ministers/presidents/heads of states doing fabulous, radiant, incredible, astonishing services to their respective citizens but getting “peanuts” in salaries from their taxpayers as tokens of appreciations for their services to their nations!

    Just can not imagin, how much more he desires to continue to embarrass himself infront of the international communities?

    It just really reflects on Singaporeans whom do not have the common ability to elect a credible, effective, efficient and proficient minister to serve them!

  • Hogzilla:

    Do not insult Minister Lim Swee Say. He is a well-learned man.

    What he used is Newspeak, a language set to replace Oldspeak (our standard English) soon. There is a detailed explanation of it’s grammar and vocabulary structure in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. It is a language, according to George Orwell, designed to diminish people’s thought in a way to reduce the overall vocabulary.

    As a member of the Inner Party, I’m not surprised that Minister Lim is fluent in Newspeak. But I like to point out his misuse of Newspeak.

    In Newspeak, there is only “good”. If you wish to say “better” in Newspeak, you should use “doublegood” as “better” belongs to Oldspeak. In Minister Lim’s case, he wish to express a term better than better, so he should use “doubleupgood”; I see that he also wish to express “best” in Newspeak, he should use “topgood”. But considering Minister Lim is a member of the Inner party, I believe that another edition of the Newspeak dictionary is coming out soon.

    Oops, I think I say too much. I forgot that BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING you.

  • U_chewonit:

    Just remember that BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING

  • Darth Vader:

    Hey, at least I can reason things out logically and speak and write proper English.

  • anakin:

    LSS must have had his speech written by SMRT CEO with her comments like i take the train every week and last time i took the train during peak hours was a few months ago. I just wonder if they are cousins or what?

  • re-signed:

    someone please give him a forkfolio
    a minister without portfolio can be stressful
    .
    But i like part of passage which says
    ” we can achieve a breakthrough in a very widespread manner.”
    .
    .
    This will definitely solve sg babies blues

  • SureOrNot?:

    Honestest Mistake … Lets move on.

  • I am absolutely dumbstruck!

    1st we have “negative wealth added”, then now we have “betterer”, betterest”?

    Which University all these Sinkapore so-called “elites” go to? PAPies University of Morons? :(

    Going by the same logic, then MM Lee when he steps down from his MM position, he should be addressed as “Mentorest’?

  • angtc11:

    What I want to tell him is:

    My English language also betterer than him.

  • useyourbrain:

    i never respect this guy right from the begging. just another parasite sucking the millions

  • x12831:

    What a load of crap from a millon dollar minister! I out of the shit hole!

  • atobe:

    This is the standard of talent that the Pro Alien Party is willing to pay S$2 Million annually of our tax payers’ money for the level of idiocy displayed.

    Is it any wonder that the standard of SINGLISH has to be proudly sustained by ‘Ah Bengs’ and ‘Ah Lians’ who will find their ways into the Pro Alien Party ?

  • Proud SIngaporean:

    Am proud and impressed by his speech. We need more leaders like him.
    He deserves to stand in GRC ward winning election after election as we need such talent. We as Singaporeans should stand tall for leaders and more leaders like him.

  • LKYandLHLtalks shit:

  • LehmanBrothers:

    He probably got the phrase from “Dumb and Dumberer”, which is really quite an inappropriate movie to paraphrase in parliament.

  • slow boil:

    this is the froggiest of the lot….. ahahahahahahaha…. how much does he take home again?

  • Hatchet Man:

    Lim Sia Suay is surely “the Bestest Man ” for Millionster for Education since his Singlish is so “goodest among the bestest”!

    LKY must increase his pay by another 88% as he is “clearlerest” the “mostest superest” PAP talent so far!

  • Fuckerest Minister:

    Wonder what our MM (Moron Minister) has got to say about this cleverest Minister.

  • To Hogzilla:

    wahahahahahahaha…. doubleupfunny or isit top funny… This frog is doublescrewed…

  • PAP Doomed:

    Greaterest embrassement. Trulyestly an international disgrace of the higherest level for the PAP.

    I can already hear laughter from the other side of the globe. My intuition tells me that the PAP is headed for the greaterest disaster ever. PAP’s destiny towards its demise is at the fasterest pace now.

    As for TR, this news is besterest news of all and humourest also. You should keep this news as your daily headline till the next GE is over.

  • Correct formula:

    If Obama manage US economy of 15 trillion GDP and getting 400k salary.

    Then Singapore with $200 Billion GDP now getting million should get only 5k per year. If they are getting themselves 3 million that means they are over boasting themselves 3,000,000/ 400,000 X 15,000/ 200 = 562.5 times smarter. This is also equivalent to say each minister with this income is eliminating 560 jobs.

    We should have more civil servants working instead of talking like these people.

    First agenda for elections:
    1. Pay cut for all top civil servants.
    2. Ban all HDB rentals. Owner cannot buy private properties if own HDB in Singapore. Go and speculate other overseas property.
    3. Minimum wages per hour.

    NTUC is impossible to control commodities price and now all inflation from overseas import foods and goods are inflated. What is the role of NTUC now? Ambitious to become walmart like US?

  • iona:

    Aiya….its broken english purpose to drive his point across la…
    why u all got nothing better to pick than this…

  • ah beng:

    Higher paid than Mr Obama Barrack, what job are you doing that is so important???
    1)a service quality target
    2)a productivity target
    3)an innovation target

    1)Are we Hong Kong or Taiwan where Mainland Chinese can open her tap, close her tap, reasult in millions and millions of China Tourism come visit. Service Quality, people must also give you chance, give you opportunity to prove yourself mah. (I told Singaporean to drop their Arrogant Attitude they don’t want, they think can speak Singlish is already very superior)

    2)Productivity target, old trick liao. 1980 Teamwork Bees

    3)Innovation target, you know American love to used this terms Creativity and Innovation. Well, why is it that all the new inventions, new patents are coming from China??? You can to produce new drugs, you need a lot of CASH. Without money, which top brain scienist want to work for you? where the tools? where the special building? No money = what kind of Innovation you want to see? We shall see American Banks = no money, American private sector = no money, The Govt is bankrupt = owe China money T-bills. Used what money to Innovation? Those Creativity People will pack their bags and leave for China where funds, opportunity, enirovment is there

  • ah beng:

    “If you’re the best today, strive to be better. If you’re better today, strive to be ‘betterer’ and if you’re ‘betterer’ today, strive to be ‘betterest’ so that over time, Singapore’s service standards can just keep getting better, ‘betterer’ and ‘betterest’”, he was quoted as saying in Channel News Asia

    Sound like promoting Indiviualism = Be the best you can Be
    That is against Our Asian Values, where everyone is the same, no one is better than the other, your job is to best support the team, not to serve yourself

    American Dream is dead = Most China students upon completion of their overseas studies immediately go home for China Dream.
    The most Creative People goes to the country that can provide them the best opporunity. Like they said:” Only in China, Only in China”
    China will had the best state of art city for Research and Development and the funds are plentiful, you can work in comfort

  • ILLEEGAL:

    When I heard this type of english on the tv, I got a shock and doubted it was him. and yet he is the head of ntuc. What a shame on him as a minister.

  • Voter:

    Don’t talk so much lah , go one on one in coming election if you got guts. shame on you !!!

  • Charles:

    This is the WORST minister of all. I don’t believe really, am too shy to admit I am a singaporean now. . . tsk tsk! should I go abroad I think I have to hide my face from now on.

  • LIONS ROAR:

    Well,i don;t fault his lingo.
    but i do his intentions,though.
    what LSS actually meant is : ‘ if you think are BATTERED,we will strive our best,as always,to get you all,singaporeans,even more battered!!!’
    …that’s what he meant actually,he just choose the wrong words?

  • please come to "an end':

    “he” forgot service service perssonel are not earning a lot of monies like “him”

  • ahkong:

    Looks like Lim swee say has nothing else better to say then betterer, betterest and betterester!

  • THE CONCLUSION:

    After Lim Swee Say read all the comments here , he will learn and have this conclusion:

    SILENCE IS GOLDENEST

  • Lim Peh Say:

    My son Swee Say is all screwed up with his Inklish right now after earning his millions each year for so many years aleady. Lim Peh did not teach him such Inklish ha, all dit is from his Inklish school hor. Pai seh lar…. so old aleady still got to come out to defend my son. Anyway, Lim Peh Say don’t care about him lah… he got one screw loose aleady.

  • HAHAHA:

    LOL LOL LOL this is a NATIONAL DISGRACE!!!!

  • john:

    Plenty of the better, betterer & betterest financial wizards & consultants* in usa can be roped in to look at our business & delivery models from both the private & public sectors.

    *please take note that some of them who used to be darlings in the financial sector in the past may be out of jobs currently wanting to ply their trade somewhere else.

    Or is it another diversion to shift the focus from the lack of jobs to the issue of productivity where pay rise or the demand of it (to match inflation / cost of living) is not catching up fast enough with productivity. Could it be a case of some broader structural fundamental which is the real problem.

  • li:

    if idea are different it is better to choose another path.

    Mr Dear Mr.Lim,

    better ? your mandarin is “better” than english but your mandarin not that good also .

    faster ? you better step down “faster” if you have nothing to offer .

  • ADAMONE:

    I remember when LKY replaced Lim Chee Onn bwith Ong Tang Cheong as NTUC sec/gen because of his inability to relate to the common man(Lim Chee Onn was a “ang moh pai” & Ong Teng Cheong was a Chinese helicopter)
    Those were the days when most workers were not highly educated and spoken English was a problem.
    Today its a totally different workforce and Lim Swee Say with his spoken English is a total DISGRACE to Singapore workers.What more with his silly antics which would entertain crowds during the sixties like Wong Sar & Ya Fong.
    LHL should do what his father did and replace LSS sooner the better before he becomes a TOTAL CLOWN and a laughing stock.

  • SG1K:

    LOL, maybe he’s an RI alumni.

  • Minstrel w/o FrogPolio:

  • This clown should be awarded the Academy Award for all the craps which he has come out from his mouth!!
    During the time when most Singaporeans are struggling to keep ends meet, this clown keeps appearing, not to help, but to add fuel to the already heated bellies of the workers!!
    He looks a clown, he speaks like a clown, acts like a clown, and is effortlessly carrying the balls of his master like a big STUPID CLOWN!!!
    How this clown can be a MINISTER in the first place beats all of us!!

  • Clear eyed:

    Lim Swee Say say: Let us UPTURN the DOWNTURN!

    Next thing he may say is “After the DOWNTURN, we will UPTURN our million-dollar salaries to even greater levels than before the DOWNTURN”.

  • robert:

    shame on you, Mr Minister!

  • eaglefly:

    this clown is a “CLASSIC” example of his boss, that “donkey” as someone said, called “lim boon heng”.

    they have killed the unions here and get away with a non pofolio sitting in pm office doing i don’t know what (blowjob all foreign visitors) and paid millions from tax payers for that.

    how much more can you expect from his student, “BLOWJOB” king

  • 2centsworth:

    So our ex-beauty queen (Ris Low) is not that bad afterall. Anyway, if our leader can invent ‘new’ words, so can anyone.

  • RDB:

    When you are a minister without portfolio, IS IN the PM’s office and helm the NTUC as Gen-Sec controlled by your boss and his apa, what become of you? A STOOGE BY CHOICE! And his office boss DID say, “So hard to get people to join PAP”! So, to get quality ministers is even harder right! Especially when yourself NEED YES-men sub-sub-sway-swee-swee-say subordinates! THIS about sums it all up FOLKS! Any surprise then what he’s been SPEWING out of his mouth?

    Lim Boon Heng did not well too and seating COOL collecting like some $10M every 3 years (ALWAYS remember bonuses guys!). NOT BAD HOR after a “nice” trip to Japan too like 4 yrs ago and after another 3 yrs blaming us all for BEING CHOOSY! Which then became “No NOT OLD! Experienced!” and right after Japan trip!

    See lky’s pappy “top talents’ at work EXACTLY like himself! They don’t know that:

    Aces:
    A1. “A closed mouth catches no flies”.

    A2. “A fool knows more in his own house, than a WISE man in another’s”. (Note; Sorry guys for having left out that most important word now CAPITALIZED for highlight and great effect on them fools!)

    A3. “A long tongue is a sign of short hand”.
    (Note: = lavish promise is followed by poor performance)

    NEW Ones – The stinging “BEES”!:

    B1. “Beware of him who regards not his reputation”. – pap?

    B2. “Beware no man more than thyself”. – lk why?

    B3. “Beware of AFTER-CLAPS”! – Esp, before GEs!

    B4, “Birds in their little nest agree”! – pappy’s nest?

    B5. “Birth is much, but BREEDING is more”! – lky breed right?

    B6. “Black will take NO OTHER hue”! – Only one lky colour?

    B7. “BLOW First ans sip afterwards”! – LSS… endless list?

    B8. “Blushing IS Virtue’s colour” – Have they ever?

    B9. “Both together DO BEST OF ALL”! – they all DON’T know!

    B10. “BOUGHT WIT is best, but may cost too much”! – THIS is what “toppest” talent lky is paying the for? Himself included of course! How can no?

    B11. “Boy will BE boys”! – pappy & pappy kids!

  • Paradize:

    saw that on TV and nearly fainted. not funny, not witty, does not appeal to heartlanders. Donald Trump would have fired him. if PAP dont feel embarrased, most of us do.

    he alone have cancelled out the “speak good english” campaign budget and Ministry of Education English budget, He needs to refund them and taxpayers the damages caused.

    Children will say “but Mummy/Teacher, that is what the Minsiter Li said”… headaches and suicides reduce English teacher population

  • RDB:

    LSS speaks not UK Queen’s English but “Sinky Pappy Inkglish”! His grand master called us daft. So his must com down to “our level” you see and speak something like he thinks his boss meant about us you see. Trouble is “Practice makes perfect” and “Familiarity breeds contempt” – meaning for himself when he carries this stupidity TOO FAR and TOO OFTEN! “TOPEST TALENTEST” indeed! BRAVO LSS and Heap Heap BOOray!

    Dear Paradize: July 5, 2010 at 12:28 pm,

    The guy engaged to teach the civil servants then to write good English was UK Linguist Barry Johnson. As their memo and letters sent to us was laughable. and it wasn’t only their English. They ask you to attend a “meeting” in the their office which required “consuming” 1/2 a day’s leave and some companies DON’T even allow that!

    In one case I called and asked what was all about.
    She said it was to clarify my letter. Asked it she could have posted me the simple answers I need, she said oh no as she was “following procedures”! So asked for the answer I need. Was so simple I told her “and I must take 1/2 day leave just to hear this? And do you need to confirm to me in writing?” YES she confirmed! I got annoyed, “Why didn’t just sent me this simple reply? Instead of just filling in the standard “cyclo-style” form”? Oh I see! Easier then typing as was those Olympia or Underwood mechanic typewriter!

    SS….. can LSS as NTUC union Gen-Sec and CHIEF, LKY, GCT and LHL UP YOUR SHOWMANSHIP and give US your definition of PRODUCTIVITY! Your Halimah Yacob, etc Mps asked in Parliament recently right? WHER IS YOUR PROFESSIONAL ANSWER!!!! YOU ARE NOW….. “THE TOPEST MOSTEST TALENTEST talents IN THIS WHOLE WIDW WORLD PAID AS NO WHERE ELSE DO”! True right by the words that came OUT FROM ALL OF YOUR MOUTHS?

    WANT RESPECT? DELIVER to DESERVE and get it!

    Back in the 60s during my primary schooldays Good Gooder Goodest was common among us as English was truly a foreign language for children of hawkers,farmers,laborers and roadsweeper.

    Today 2010 when BILLIONs was spent in education tertiary institutes are plentiful and what do we have????

    A MINISTER WHO EARNS MILLIONS SPEAKING DISGRACEFUL ROTTEN ENGLISH.

    IS THE PM & MM THAT DAFT TO HAVE SUCH A MINISTER IN THEIR FOLD???

    ARE THEY NOT ASHAME NOW WHEN THEY CALL US “DAFT,SILLY ETC.ETC.” WHEN THEY HAVE AN IDIOT OF THE HIGHEST DEGREE IN THEIR FOLD OR MAYBE THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HAVING IN THE CABINET TODAY “CLOWNS & IDIOTS”.

  • Truthful:

    Come on guys give this man a break. He is working so hard to improve his linguistic skills in order to bring this message to us, the layman/woman on the ground.

    Probably he has also attended a number of those skills upgrading courses to justify the next pay raise. LoL!

  • U_ChewOnIt:

    We are already having to pay millions for several Ministers Without Portfolio, and on top of that we are paying for a clown, an illiterate when it comes to Inklish, and a goondu…… LO

  • Ji Pa Ban:

    Lim Sia Suay is getting from bad to badder and baderest.

  • run when you can:

    lim swee said..better-betterer-betterest. Hey betterest is not the ultimate!! After betterest you still can go best bestest besterest. LSS not smart enough..you DAFT.

  • Legend82:

    Not to forget, LSS is also the one who entertain us with his Frog fable tale. He is the one to coin “we are deaf to all critism”.

    He is the wordsmith of PAP. everyday must come out with new phase and words.

  • No Place And Land For Singaporean:

    better, ‘betterer’ and ‘betterest’??? Is that english? And is he really a Minister?

  • I say what…by jove..looks like raining frogs ahead…deaf and dumb ones..and here we have this frog of a twit mangling the Queen’s English…or god his brain electrical connections crossed somehow and ribbit/vomit out gibberish for all to see and know.

    And this is minister calibre?

    And worth 2 million bucks plus bonus plus performance plus allowances from the people of singapore taxes direct/indirect?

    Who is the original head honcho that pick this twit of a truely deaf frog [as this twit of a frog likes to prattle fables he is a deaf frog to all criticisms/feedback]?

    What the frag is going on….this twit of frog should have been turn into frog legs soup a long time ago…but i guess some uppity clowns in charge like the croaking and ribbiting of this twit of a frog.

    Haiz. This is really nuts. Wunder how the overseas folks see singapore especially with a twit of a deaf frog minister like this LSS.

    No wonder no real Princess wants to kiss LSS to change him into a human being…cos even if kiss…LSS will still be deaf.

    Nuts.
