This is definition lifted from dictionary.com.
leech
–noun
1. any bloodsucking or carnivorous aquatic or terrestrial worm of the class Hirudinea, certain freshwater species of which were formerly much used in medicine for bloodletting.
2. a person who clings to another for personal gain, esp. without giving anything in return, and usually with the implication or effect of exhausting the other's resources; parasite.
3. Archaic. an instrument used for drawing blood.
I will now proceed to investigate the appropriateness of usage of this term with respect to each of the main players in this case.
Derek Wee ("one of many wretched, undermotivated, overassuming leeches in our country" as alleged by Wee Shu Min):-
Being a productive tax paying member of the Republic of Singapore, it is unlikely that any of the definitions are relevant despite Wee Shu Min's heinous allegations. Verdict: Not guilty.
Wee Shu Min:-
Non productive member of society who doesn't contribute to tax revenues. Off spring of a reasonably affluent politician who has been granted a scholarship at tax payers' expense. Obviously, these tax revenues should have been put to better use by funding a more intelligent, less emotionally retarded person who otherwise would not have the necessary resources to finance their tertiary education and would more likely contribute back to society instead of engaging in mindless rantings and diatribes. Verdict: Guilty of being a leech on 3 counts.
Wee Siew Kim:-
Back bencher MP who rode into parliament via the coat tails of the incumbent PM through the flawed GRC system. Like all other PAP MPs who sailed into office without having to contest in any election, he is of course drawing a huge salary (by world standards) despite having to contribute nothing. As yet, he is still unknown for any significant contributions to society. Best known for publicly defending the bigoted views of his own daughter while likely being the party guilty of inculcating such values privately. Verdict: Guilty of being a leech on 2 counts.
