James Gomez

After all the Hooha of the election, the RMR figured surely he must have something to say. Afterall, the RMR had been bombarded constantly by "insightful" and "meaningful" headlines like the one below.
Talking about James Gomez, the RMR wonders what the trial of our dear Mr Gomez would be like? (Cue dream entering music, droom drroooom drroooom droomm....)

*The scene opens at a court room in the new fugly pink supreme court*

Mr Haras Singh, the top dog lawyer representing the election committee, is questioning his witness.

Haras Singh: "Eh Gomez... Betta tell the trooth ok? You lie about handing up the form right?"

Judge:"You do not need to answer that question, Mr Gomez... Only good english is tolerated in Singaporean courts"

Gomez: "I'll answer the question. You want answers?"

Haras Singh: "I think I'm entitled to them."

Gomez: "You want answers?!"

Haras Singh: "I want the truth!"

Gomez: "You can't handle the truth!

Singh, we live in a country that has a weak opposition, and that weak opposition has to be provided by men with no brains. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Mr Harvard Haras Singh? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for your 66.6%, and you curse Mr Chee Soon Juan. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that 66.6% , while embrassing, is still not that bad; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves your FACE.

You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that video -- you need me on that video.

We use phrases like "Multi-party Democracy", "Lift-upgrading for all", "Help us get our deposit back". We use these phrases as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the security of the very tyranny that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.

I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a form and join the worker's party. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you're entitled to!

Haras Singh: "Did you lie about handing up the form?"

Gomez: "I did the job I was --"

Haras Singh: -- "DID YOU LIE ABOUT HANDING UP THE FORM?!"

Gomez: "You're god damn right I did!!!"
