Wee Shu Min is Who?
Wee Shu Min, a rich Singaporean wrote in her blog:
Derek, Derek, Derek darling, how can you expect to have an iron rice bowl or a solid future if you cannot spell? “There’s no point in lambasting the Government for making our society one that is, I quote, ‘far too survival of the fittest…’ If uncertainty of success offends you so much, you will certainly be poor and miserable. […] Get out of my elite uncaring face.
Her father, Wee Siew Kim, is a wealthy worker for a multinational corporation in Singapore.
The problem? Elitism. And, the blogosphere in Asia reacted negatively.
Update: For a cartoon series detailing the problems with Wee Shu Min, see The Adventures of Elite Girl. I am personally indifferent.

I am reminded of Wee Shu Min again. Elitist. Doesn’t know much about the lower income group and couldn’t care less. Unsympathetic. Uncaring. At times like this, take heart that there are still good folks who know the meaning of empathy. ... - singaland :: Why the Goverment Hates Singaporeans

This blog forgot to put that her father is member of parliament (MP) and had issued an apology statement that strangely supported her daughter’s view, not the rage of Singaporeans who are struggling day to day to feed their families. As we all know, the government should speak for the people not for “their” people. Not to mention that 7% GST which will be implemented some time next year (2007) is just going to make life harder.
Here is the link for the father’s official response:
