Har Lian fails the citizenship test

Missy Har Lian, 18, submitted her answers online via www.ChimBohLiao.com.

Below is a sample of the questions:


Question : What do these acronyms stand for?
(a) CPF
(b) SIA
(c) PAP
(d) ERP
(e) SBS
(f) MRT
(g) PHD
(h) HDB
(i) SAF


Answer :
(a) CPF = Cash Prior to Funeral
(b) SIA = Suffer In Agony
(c) PAP = Pay And Pay
(d) ERP = Eternally Raising Prices
(e) SBS = (squeezed) Side By Side
(f) MRT = Mad Rush to Train
(g) PHD = Permanent Head Damage
(h) HDB = Highly Dangerous Buildings

The questions stumped her. Nevertheless, credits are given for her effort to answer all questions, with ease, according to her.
" I'm very proud to be a Singaporean and I think I know more about Singapore than some of my neighbours." She claimed.
Applause to Har Lian, whose way of survival in the red dot is unique. Ode to the Lian(s). For you... ...
