Top Ten List:
No Comment,
And Don't Quote Me

 

From the Home Office at Jurong Island, here's the Top Ten List. Tonight's category,

Top Ten Quotes by Philip Yeo.

Apparently when the Chief of the EDB invites you to tea, you might just get involved in a storm in an EDB cup. So who is this Philip Yeo anyway? Man or Monster? Civil Servant or Uncivil Servant? Let him speak for himself, here we have quotes from him.

Heeeeere we go,

10. "Every year, get some guy, stand him against the wall, and de-pants him. You can be sure the rest will pull up their socks."

9. "I believe in investing in people rather than machines. Which would you rather have: ten good bodyguards, or a bullet proof car?"

8. "The only good bond-breaker I've met, is a dead bond-breaker."

7. "Hire the best. Fire the rest."

6. "The government will not re-hire those bond-breakers. They have a better chance getting elected as an MP."

5. "If TCS has a scholarship scheme years ago, we won't be seeing the likes of 'Shiver', 'Tonight With Gurmit' or 'Three Rooms'."

4. "Fire the procrastinators tomorrow."

3. "Those three dudes just got their Fame Awards early. What're they complaining about?"

2. "I want scholars who are Arnold Schwarzenegger types... but not when they say 'Hasta la vista, baby'."

And (drum roll)... the number one quotable quote from Philip Yeo...

1. "I think I need bigger shoes."

[Cue music, "Jump!" by Van Halen]
