Andy : I give up my contest as a candidate…..i’ll concede to Ah Keong….. he wins…

The expressions on Ah Keong’s face is a mixture of pure confusion and bewilderment. He still hasn’t wrapped his mind around what was happening.



Until Uncle Ben got up and said he would void his vote as well did Ah Keong finally get what they were trying to do




Ah Keong : ohh… ohh.. yes… yes…ermmm..errrr… so I win…. I win… they void their vote right… so I win… ??


Uncle Po : Doesn't work that way guys.... and you know it...




Uncle Po raised both his hands to silence the floor before announcing that as per the rules of the organisation, if it comes to a tie, Fungye would preside over the rest of the election.



All eyes went to him and he grinned.




Fungye’s voice was surprisingly loud and powerful given his age.


Fungye : Let’s here what the candidate have to say before I decide…..

He pointed to Ah Keong and said since he was the hot favourite, he would like to know what he can do for the organisation .




Fungye : Get up there…. And tell me…. tell me what can you do…. For the family…



Ah Keong looked a little lost and nervous as he stepped up to the front. Some people are just not used to public speaking or to address a crowd. Ah Keong is one of them .


To put it bluntly, he’s just a grunt.


He was unprepared and he was not confident enough to project his voice loud enough.


Ah Keong : I…. I have….. I have the most men…. Among all the elders !...


I saw Roland closed his eyes and massaged his forehead with both hands as Ah KEong went on.




Ah Keong : I…. my…..I have one of the largest construction company….we also hold several properties….


Fungye : yes… yes… I know all that….. what I want to know… is what can you do…. For the organisation !!.....



Ah Keong : I will take it to greater heights…… I will restore it to it’s former glory !!! We will increase our headcount… and manpower… !...

Fungye just laughed, smacking the table in amusement.



He pointed to Ah Keong and turned to the rest of the elders.

Fungye : Him ??? You all are voting him to be your leader ?? hahaha.. hahaa…


Ah Keong stormed off the front and got back to his seat, fuming in anger from the humiliation.

Fungye turned next to Andy, gesturing rudely to him.



Fungye : Andy !!... you’re up… go…

Andy was a lot more composed and he stepped up confidently.


Fungye : Tell us…. What is your plan….


Andy spent a second too long exchanging glare at Fungye before he started.


Andy : Times are changing…our old ways don’t work any longer…. This is the reason why the family has been constantly evolving as we move along…. We’ve diversified slowly over the years into business, properties and investments…moving forward….



Fungye : Don’t try to act professional la fuck…. A gangster is a gangster…. Hurry up…

Andy was pissed but he continued his speech to the floor.



Andy : We’ve phased out some of our activities over the years, gambling, 4D betting, sports betting….. going forward, our core focus should be on legitimate businesses….


Fungye cut in for the 2nd time.


Fungye : Fuck you understand…. You are just giving up a lucrative side of the business to your competitor…..you stupid fool….

Andy shot back immediately with a salvo.



Andy : What we did….. is right…. This is the very reason why we are out here now…. And not rotting in jail with our competitor. !..


Fungye : It’s a fucking stupid idea I tell you…. You’re burning boatloads of cash by not taking in the bets….



Andy : We made good use of our previous revenue, diversifying into investment grade properties…. Their returns…..


Fungye slammed his hand on the table and shouted again,



Fungye : Don’t fucking tell me about the returns of your properties when you are charging shit rent to everyone you lease to….


Andy was quiet for a brief moment and Fungye continued his rant.



Fungye : Every mother fucker on that table is paying rent so low ….. it’s ridiculous….so don’t tell me about your returns…. It’s shit… it’s time you start bringing drugs back in…


Andy : No. giving up the drug option was the best move Boss made when he was alive…..we need to understand the environment in which we operate…..there are grey areas of the law, where money could be made…. But in areas where there are zero tolerance….. like drugs… we maintain our stand in not………


Fungye stood up and raised his voice so loud that it silenced the people outside the hall as well.

Fungye : That…. Was the MOST…. STUPID…… THING… I EVER HEARD !!!.... AND I TELL YOU….. NOT BRINGING IN DRUGS…. IS THE MOST STUPID DECISION MY BROTHER EVER MADE….


Fungye turned , not only to the elders but to the rest who were peering in from the windows and addressed everyone at the same time.


Fungye : You stupid fools…. Everyday I see news of you bitching….. and complaining about how packed your trains are…. How expensive your cars are….bitching and complaining about your miserable lives in Singapore…… you know the reason why ???




Fungye paused and pointed a finger at the crowd, running it across an arc at the crowd, challenging anyone who would answer his question.


Fungye : That’s because you people… don’t know how to have fun !!... that euphoria of shooting it into your veins… feeling it go into your bloodstreams…

Andy : We shall not discuss this any longer…



Fungye : I’m not finished !!!

Andy : You are !!....

Fungye and Andy spoke at the same time. Each trying to outdo the other with their voices.



Fungye : I can buy every fucker in this room a car with one shipment.

Andy : You bring anything beyond 15 grams…

Fungye : Fuck you and your grams… I’m talking hundreds of KGs….


Andy : Our men… have wives and family !!! who’s going to carry it for it…


Fungye ; This is why you would remain at the bottom of the ladder !!... you only need to sacrifice but 1 man for the shipment …. And hundreds would benefit !!...


Andy : Fuck you…

Fungye : Fuck you Andy … you know who you are talking to


Andy : You have no fucking idea what you are talking about… this is Singapore we …..



Fungye : I am born here as well !.... so don’t fucking go …and…


Andy : We are moving forward…. As business men…. Not some half fuck low grade criminals…



Fungye : The most successful businessmen are all criminals in their own right…. Don’t come and…

Andy : You live under fucking rock….


Fungye : You…. Are not fit to lead …


Andy : No one would buy your drugs…


Fungye ; That’s because you don’t know how to market them !!!! ….

Fungye slammed the table several times pointing a finger at Andy.


Fungye : You have to penetrate the schools….. start them young… introduce them to this wonderful world…. Create the market and demand…

Andy : Go fuck yourself Fungye.. …



Fungye : hahahah… whahaha.. hahaa…


He laughed as Andy stared at him , speechless.



Fungye : Look at all of you…. Like a bunch of loose sand…. Pussies…


He lectured the elders, telling them that they are in that exact position because of their own doing.



Fungye : Your disunity…..gave me this opportunity… I will make this organisation rise again…




He turned to Andy next and added.
