Mee Siam Mai Hum: Some of the Darnedest Things Our Politicians Say

——內容簡介 Synopsis

"You need a very small space to have sex."

"The co-driver is there to slap the driver when he drives off course."

"You talk about bak chor mee. I will say mee siam mai hum."

Mee Siam Mai Hum is the first-ever published compilation of the most memorable quotes uttered by Singapore's politicians. Collected over several years, the quotes accompany witty illustrations by Jackie Goh of The Fingersmith Letterpress.
