Fall in at 4am!

Read the BBC report which tickled me.

A widely circulated story about NS had a CO ordering his battalion to fall in at the parade square by 7am the next morning. One kiasu company commander then ordered that his company should fall in by 6am. The sergeant major, affected by the KS mentality, ordered that all men should fall in at 5am. The men, not wanting to sacrifice their precious weekend off by being late, got ready in full parade regalia at 4am the next morning.

Reminds me of a Chinese saying that the emperor remains unfazed while the eunuchs are panicking: 皇帝不急太监急

So what's happening? Nothing. That's it, nothing. And it seems that the IMF itself is getting irritated by the actions of our wise leaders in quashing every hint of dissent by locals or foreign talents alike. It's funny because I thought the 1984-ville leadership always kowtow to foreigners, even protesters. Well, perhaps this protest ban is an indication of the leadership slowly growing a backbone, at last.
