Madam President Halimah Yacob expressed her disappointment with Singaporeans. She read some negative comments about Joseph Schooling’s loss in the Olympics and was sad to see people “thrash” him to the ground.

She has had enough of us giving excuses for ourselves when we do not perform well but mocking others when they cannot do the same.

“One moment, we carry people to the highest pedestal with our words, yet the next moment we thrash the to the ground just because they fail to live up to our expectations. Yet, many a time, we would ask for dispensation for ourselves if we did not achieve something which others expect of us. We argue that we are only human but we don’t apply the same yardstick to others.”
