1 | Singapore: Minister's Comments Spark Internet Meme | Singapore: Mampiparitaka Ireo Meme Ao Amin'ny Aterineto Ny Tsikeran'ny Minisitra |
2 | With the following statement, Senior Minister of State for Ministry of Environment and Water Resources Grace Fu sparked off an online controversy amongst Singaporeans: | Anatin'ity fanambaràna manaraka ity, ny Minisi-panjakana Misahana ny Tontolo Iainana sy ny Rano, Grace Fu, dia nahatonga resaka be tao amin'ny aterineto teo amin'ireo Singaporeana : |
3 | When I made the decision to join politics in 2006, pay was not a key factor. | Rehefa nanapa-kevitra ny handray anjara amin'ny politika aho tamin'ny 2006, tsy ny karama no zava-dehibe. |
4 | Loss of privacy, public scrutiny on myself and my family and loss of personal time were. | Fahaverezan'ny fiainana manokana, ny fitsaràn'ny vahoaka ahy sy ny fianakaviako sy ny fahaverezan'ny fotoana atokako ho ahy no nisy tamin'izany. |
5 | The disruption to my career was also an important consideration. | Ny fikorontanana nisy tao amin'ny asako koa no singa iray goavana. |
6 | I had some ground to believe that my family would not suffer a drastic change in the standard of living even though I experienced a drop in my income. | Nanana antony kely nahazoko toky aho fa tsy hiaritra fiovàna henjana tamin'ny fomba fiaina ny fianakaviako na dia nisedra fihenana vola niditra tamiko aza aho. |
7 | So it is with this recent pay cut. | Tamin'ity fahatapahan'ny karama ity izany. |
8 | If the balance is tilted further in the future, it will make it harder for any one considering political office. | Raha mitohy mitanila io mizana io amin'ny hoavy, ho sarotra ny manjo ny tsirairay izay mihevitra ny hitàna toerana politika. |

11 | Following the recent announcement of paycuts for ministers - which many Singaporeans feel are still not enough - Ms Fu's comments angered many who felt that those who go into public service should not do so in the expectation of huge public rewards. | Taorian'ilay fanambarana mikasika ny fahatapahan'ny karaman'ireo minisitra - izay tsapan'ny ankamaroan'ireo Singaporeana ho mbola tsy ampy - Nahatezitra ny maro, izay nahatsapa fa tsy tokony hiandry fankasitrahana goavana avy amin'ny vahoaka ny mpiasam-panjakana, ireo tsikeran'i Ramatoa Fu. |
12 | Ms Fu has since come out to say that her statement had been misunderstood, something which I have observed to happen to the ruling People's Action Party members very often: | Hatramin'izay dia niteny i Ramatoa Fu fa diso ny fandraisana ny fanambaràny, zavatra izay tsinjoko hitranga matetika amin'ireo mpikambana ao anatin'ilay People's Action Party (PAP) : |
13 | Teenagers, goths and emos should just step aside. | Tsy tokony hiditra amin'izany ireo tanora, ny goths sy ireo emos. |
14 | People's Action Party (PAP) members are by far the most misunderstood group of people in the world. | Ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny People's Action Party (PAP) no vondron'olona saro-takarina indrindra eto an-tany hatreto. |
15 | It appears as if they can't say or do a thing without being misunderstood. | Toa tsy misy zavatra ataon-dry zareo na lazainy ka tsy diso ny fandraisana azy. |
16 | If they went to a MacDonald's to buy a Big Mac with extra lettuce and no pickles they'd probably get Fillet o' Fish. | Raha mankany amina MacDonald mba hividy Big Mac izay miaraka amina laisoa amboniny ry zareo, tsy nasiana “cornichons” dia mety ho “Fillet o' Fish” no ho azon-dry zalahy. |
17 | Ms Fu's clarification of her statement hasn't been successful in placating irked Singaporeans, as many have observed that she is still extremely well-paid compared to the average Singaporean. | Tsy nahomby tamin'ny fanatoniana ireo Singaporeana tezitra ny fanazavan'i Ramatoa Fu ny fanambaràny, satria maro no nahatsikaritra fa mbola tsara karama izy miohatra amin'ny Singaporeana antonony. |
18 | Mollymeek writes sarcastically about how Ms Fu could have been misunderstood: | Manoratra, sady arahany hanihany, momba ny fomba mety nahatonga ny fandisoana ny tian'i Ramatoa Fu ho tenenina i Mollymeek : |
19 | Because of our inability to imagine the standard of living that would be compromised by a million-dollar salary, it is easy for us to think that she is materialistic. | Noho ny tsy fahaizanareo maminaviana ny fomba fiaina izay mety ho tadindonin-doza noho ny karama aman-tapitrisa dollars, mora ho antsika ny mihevitra fa mijery ny endrika ivelany izy. |
20 | It is our fault. | Isika no diso. |
21 | She is not materialistic. | Tsy mpijery ny endrika ivelany izy. |
22 | She is not demanding a higher pay. | Tsy mangataka karama ambony izy. |
23 | It is just that her standard of living is so inconceivably high that she may face difficulties making ends meet if she were to be paid the average salary of a minister in the developed world. | Fa fotsiny avo loatra ny fari-piainany ka mety hisedra olana amin'ny fifehezana izany izy raha omena ny karama antonony ho anà minisitra iray any amin'ny firenena mandroso. |
24 | Ms Fu's comment soon turned into an Internet meme, with people posting their own versions. | Tsy ela akory dia nivadika ho “meme” (zavatra ifandovàna) ao amin'ny Aterineto ny tsikeran'i Ramatoa Fu, miaraka amin'ireo olona izay samy mamoaka ny azy avy. |
25 | Lee Kin Mun writes about his choice to become Singapore's “blogfather” mrbrown: | Manoratra ny safidiny ho lasa “rain'ny fitorahana bilaogy” any Singapore, mrbrown, i Lee Kin Mun: |
26 | When I made the decision to be mrbrown in 1997, pay was not a key factor. | Rehefa nanapa-kevitra ny ho mrbrown aho tamin'ny 1997, tsy ny karama zava-dehibe. |
27 | Kena lim kopi by ISD, kena sue until tng kor by ministers and having my newspaper column suspended were. | Kena lim kopi avy amin'ny ISD, nenjehan'ireo minisitra hatrany amin'ny tng kor i kena ary naato ny tsanganan-dahatsoratra an-gazetiko. |
28 | The disruption to my computer gaming time was also an important consideration. | Ny fahatapatapahan'ny fotoana filalaovako eo amin'ny solosainako ihany koa dia antony iray goavana. |
29 | I had some ground to believe that my family would not suffer a drastic change in the standard of living but we did have to sell the car and now I ride a bicycle. | Nanana antony kely aho nahazoako toky fa tsy hiaritra fiovàna henjana tamin'ny fomba fiaina ny fianakaviako saingy tsy maintsy namidinay ny fiara ka ankehitriny dia bisikileta no voiziko. |
30 | I fear if the balance is tilted further in the future, I will fall off my bicycle. | Matahotra aho raha sanatria ka mitanila ny karama amin'ny hoavy, hianjera avy eny ambonin'ny bisikiletako aho. |
31 | Joshua Chiang on his decision to join socio-political website The Online Citizen: | I Joshua Chiang mikasika ny fanapahan-keviny hiditra ao amin'ny vohikala ara-politika sy sosialy The Online Citizen: |
32 | When I made the decision to join TOC in 2009, pay was not a key factor (since it was non-existent). | Rehefa nanapa-kevitra ny hiditra ao amin'ny TOC aho tamin'ny 2009, tsy ny karama zava-dehibe (satria koa tsy nisy izany). |
33 | Loss of freedom vis-a-vis ISA , character assassination by the mainstream press on myself and my family and loss of my entire fortunes via defamation suits was. | Ny fahaverezan'ny fahalalahana manoloana ny ISA , famotehana ny maha izy azy ny olona nataon'ny gazety mahazatra momba ahy sy ny fianakaviako ary ny fahaverezan'ny fananako rehetra noho io fanalàm-baraka io no nisy. |
34 | The disruption to my sanity was also an important consideration. | Antony iray goavana ihany koa ny fahasimban'ny fahasalamako. |
35 | I had some ground to believe that my family would have more room space at home if I were ever jailed. | Nanana antony vitsivitsy aho nahazoako toky fa hanana efitrano malaladalaka kokoa ny fianakaviako raha sanatria aho voagadra. |
36 | Especially when TOC was gazetted. | Indrindra rehefa voasokajy ny TOC. |
37 | If the balance is tilted further in the future, it will make it harder for any one considering citizen journalism/activism. | Raha mitanila mihoatra izao ny karama amin'ny hoavy, ho sarotra ny manjo ny tsirairay izay mihevitra ny hitàna fanaovan-gazety/ hafanàm-po. |
38 | Even Danny the Democracy Bear, mascot of alternative political party the Singapore Democratic Party, weighed in: | Na i Danny the Democracy Bear aza, sary famantaran'ny antoko politika mpanelanelana, Antoko Demokratika ao Singapour, tafarotsaka anatin'izany: |
39 | When I made the decision to join the SDP, pay was not a key factor. | Rehefa nanapa-kevitra ny hiditra tao amin'ny SDP aho, tsy ny karama zava-dehibe. |
40 | Loss of privacy, public scrutiny on myself and my loss of personal time were. | Very ny fiainana manokana, mitsikera ahy ny vahoaka ary very ny fotoana mba natokako ho ahy. |
41 | That fact that I might be the party's mascot because I'm the only bear there was an important consideration. | Ny antony mety nahatonga ahy ho sary famantarana an'io antoko io dia satria izaho irery no “ours” manana lanja goavana . |
42 | I had solid ground to believe that my family would not suffer a drastic change in the standard of living even though the PAP always likes to sue SDP members. | Nanana antoka mafy aho ninoako fa tsy hiaritra fiovàna tampoka ny fianakaviako na dia tia manenjika ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny SDP foana aza ny PAP . |
43 | If the balance is tilted further and animals are prohibited to join political parties in the future, it will be harder for my fellow bears to support, let alone join the SDP. | Raha mitanila mihoatra noho izao ny mizàna ary raha voarara tsy hiditra anatin'ireo vondrona politika ny biby amin'ny hoavy, ho sarotra ho an'ny “ours” taranako ny hanohana, ary mbola sarotra noho izany ny fidirana ao amin'ny SDP. |
44 | The Tumblr blog ‘When I made the decision…‘ has now been set up to share these variations on Ms Fu's comment. | Efa natsangana ilay bilaogy “Tumblr” ‘When I made the decision…na Rehefa nanapa-kevitra. .‘ mba hizaràna ireo dika samihafan'ilay tsikeran'i Ramatoa Fu. |
