THE SINGAPORE COURTESY CAMPAIGN IS FLAWED June 27, 2007

I was watching the TV the other night when I came across the latest Road Courtesy Campaign. You know, the one where one Chee Ko Pek looking motorcyclist smiled and waved sheepishly at a little girl who was using the zebra crossing. That was really disturbing, the courtesy campaign should not be a Chee Ko Pek man waving at a little girl.
Chee Ko Pek-ing is not courteous at all, neither is smiling and waving at a little girl. Only pedophiles smile and wave at little girls while they are using the zebra crossing. Courteous people do not sit on their motorcycle smiling at prepubescent girls in school uniforms.
The Singapore Courtesy Coucil is not doing a good job with our courtesy campaign and here at E.M.Y.P.N.Z, the editors are not too happy about it. The similarities are not lost on me that our courtesy mascot, Singa the Lion is a Bor Cheng Kor (never wear pants) lion. Ah-ha!
Pedophile – Bor Cheng Kor
Bor Cheng Kor – Pedophile
Bor Cheng Kor is not very courteous.
You get the idea.
Therefore, allow me to propose a new looking mascot for the subsequent Singapore Courtesy Campaign. Called Singa the Wu Cheng Kor (got wear pants) Lion,
A little bit of editing and what you are getting is a much better Singapore Courtesy Campaign.
By editing the mascot to your preference, you are obviously not getting the essence of the campaign.
