In Lalaland, Mr Ng was the newly elected Mayor. He started his political career as a motivational speaker. Every time he gave a speech, he would start with: "In the name of democracy, we should..."
After eight years as Mayor, he reached retirement age and quit politics. When asked about his greatest achievement, he proudly said, "Lalaland only has a population of 10,000, but I passed a law stating that if 10% of the citizens sign a petition, the city can hold a referendum."
The day after he stepped down, the city received a petition to expel Mr Ng from Lalaland and send him to Lanjiao Land. Voter turnout reached 85%, with 70% voting in favor of his expulsion. One citizen told reporters, "We elected you to do the job, but you always passed the buck back to us. You're just an actor and belong in another city!"
The lesson here: Always be wary of people who constantly talk about "democracy" in their speeches. More often than not, they are just lazy and all talk, no action. (0947, 23/9/2026)
