This is just embarassing. It's not funny when a rap doesn't work - this one doesn't even rhyme well. I bet it was a gahmen official who came up with the lyrics and in true SG style, crammed all bits of information into densely-populated stanzas so that it would appease the higher-ups such that nothing, absolutely nothing, would be left out from each and every MDA department's mission statement. So it seems.
Nonetheless I applaud these office folks for getting down and dirty, and putting on those robotic smiles for the camera, bouncing on green screen. Lots of energy and finger pointing (although rappers don't really do that). Maybe it was Mediacorp that gave Basic Hip Hop lessons to these bemused civil servants. Where's the bling? No Poh Heng or Soo Kee to sponsor the "ice"? And "Yes. yes, y'all' is so 2002. I would have expected a "Yo, yo, yo" somewhere. Perhaps Sheikh Haikel's out-of-favour status dealt a blow to potential superstardom.
Do we need to discuss the not-so-clear waste of taxpayer money? (Is entertainment value a saving grace?)
