Singapore's impeccable Justice system. Don't play, play

SINGAPORE: The Chief Justice on Wednesday (Apr 22) upheld a one-week jail term for a woman who lied about her address in order to enrol her daughter in a popular primary school.

Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon said the sentence was lenient and he would have effectively doubled it had he heard the case in the first place. He did not because he did not have material before him, such as submissions and case precedents, to inform such a decision.  CNA

This case of a mother trying to game the system to get her child into a good school should be an eye opener to wake up any potential criminal thinking of committing crimes in Singapore. Singapore is very high on upholding law and order. A crime is a crime. One week jail for such an offence is very lenient. Could be worse. 

The one week jail sentence would now be seen as a benchmark for crimes in Singapore. Anyone committing a more serious crime than cheating and lying about address to gain an advantage would surely stand to be jailed more than one week. Cheating crimes of more than a few thousand dollars are definitely more serious than trying to get admission for a child in a primarily school. Would causing hurt to individuals by foreigners, rape or sexual assault be considered more serious than this? Would corruption of more than a few thousand dollars be more serious than this to require jail sentence? What about cheating and scams involving more than a few thousand dollars? What about cheating on academic qualifications and resumes to get a job? Is it more serious than this case?

Personally I think cheating with fake degrees and resumes for employment are much more serious than this case and should all be jailed. Many Singaporeans are victims to fake degrees. National interests are involved. But many things are subjective and depend on many factors like belief systems and values and where they are coming from. What is serious to A may not be serious to B. Only God is fair and just.

Everyone will now use this as a benchmark in reference to what is considered a serious crime that warrants a jail sentence. A jail sentence is the minimum for serious crimes in Singapore. The mother and child did not cause hurt or harm directly to anyone. The crime is to cheat the system not for money, but for a place in a good school, and this is very serious in Singapore. Get it? More serious than corruption cases involving hundreds of thousands or millions.

Getting a slap on the wrist for crimes more serious than this will now be a thing of the past. The Chief Justice has set the standard. This is Singapore's impeccable standard. Everyone better behave, Singaporeans or foreign talents. No exception. Respect the law, and don't get caught. Justice is blind, no care who you are, mother or child. Time to build more prisons.

Can the world stop the the American reign of terror? American terrorism and piracy!

 Making a statement like this may be shocking to the world. What reign of terror? Americans are the most peace loving country, protecting the world from terrorism, from discrimination against the minorities and the weak, protecting human rights, preventing war crimes and crimes against humanity. Americans love and care about the Muslims in Xinjiang...only. America is the paragon of all virtues and goodness. This is written all over the American and western media and silly media of American crony states. It is taught in schools in America and former western colonised states that they all believe in this vicious and malicious lie. And the daft American hillbillies and rednecks are proudly standing in front of the camera in all forum and conference to brag about American virtues and goodness. They did not know or want to know the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians being genocided by the American and Israel terrorists and still going on daily. They did not see anything wrong when clown Trump declared to kill all Iranians. What's wrong with killing Iranians, or Arabs and Muslims? No one is protesting, not even Arab and Muslim states. It must be the right thing to do.

And many silly leaders are signing comprehensive strategic defence pacts with the American terrorist state as a badge of honour. These leaders have no morals, no rights or wrongs, only about might is right. Killing Iranians is a beautiful thing to do. All the Americans are behind this, supporting this killing without exception. The only criticism were just soundbites, theatre. When they protest, it is just for fun, a party for the weekend, to kill their boredom and meaningless lifestyle, to take a break from fentanyl or other drugs. See how happy they are now with the new fad about Jesus Donald Trump's foolery? This will keep them busy and happy for a few weeks. Who cares about the killing of Iranians, Arabs and Muslims?

Lula da Silva, the President of Brazil, spoke until his face turned red at the UN, to condemn the lawlessness of the lunatic Emperor in Washington. Any world leader dares to stand up to support Lula? Probably they will be asking themselves in silence, how dare Lula condemn their idol, lunatic Trump? The Pope is also asking if the world still needs an organisation like the UN when it fails to stand up for the weak, stand up against terrorism and crimes against humanity and lawlessness?

Is the killing of Arabs and Muslims and Iranians acceptable?

Is the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz against freedom of navigation and international law? It is an act of war.

Why countries cannot conduct trade with other countries unless approved by the American terrorists?

Why countries cannot buy and sell dual use goods because the American would not allow it?

Can countries sell weapons to each other without the approval of the American terrorists?

Attacking ships, landing on foreign ships are acts of piracy!

The UN should at least speak out to condemn these acts against international law and call out the American terrorists as terrorists and pirates and call for an international coalition to stop them. The American terrorists can veto the call. But the message to the world must be clear. What the Americans are doing are terrorism and piracy, in violation of international law and not permitted. Hypocritic states would be forced to take a vote to show their stupidity and hypocrisy at the UNGA and be shamed.

And the whole world can take a stand, not necessarily militarily as that is out of question. The UN can call for a sanction on America. Let the American terrorists veto it, but let the world know what is right and what is wrong, and the world can act in unison, to isolate the American and Israeli terrorists by non action, not trading with them. Those countries that can, can cut off diplomatic relations with the American and Israel terrorists. Let the Americans and Israelis know that they are pariahs in the eyes of the whole world and stop pretending to be holier than thou. Evil is evil. America and Israel are the two most evil countries, indulging in genocides and war crimes and crimes against humanity. Let those silly leaders that crave to kiss their ass be seen by the world also as pariahs.

It is not that difficult to do so. No need to go to war with the terrorists. Just do nothing and stay away from them.

Pete Hegseth is right to sack the dysfunctional DEI generals

 For all the rubbish and silly things this drunkard has done, there is one thing that he has done right, ie the sacking of the useless dinosaur DEI generals. This is one thing I agree with him. But he did it in a spur of the moment, without thinking about replacement, about having the right type of generals to keep the war machine going on and relevant to modern warfare.

The American war machine and the hoards of generals and their incestuous relationship with the Military Industrial Complex are like the automobile industry and the train system, all trapped by an outdated system, infrastructure and weight that would not allow them to change and keep pace with the changes in science and technology. They are too big, too deep set to continue chucking along like the dinosaurs, resistance to change, cannot adapt and waiting to go the dodo way. They are all opposed to change, not giving way to high speed train, to EVs and war technologies that have discarded the Rambo mentality and doctrines of commandos, green beret and special forces in modern warfare. Modern warfare is about technology, high tech, drones, missiles and specky nerds manipulating new technology, cheap and good, to win wars sitting in the comfort of airconditioned rooms. The kamikaze drones are braver and smarter than the special forces, no fear of danger and death, costing a few thousand dollars only, little maintenance, no morale issues, no need to be fed, expendable, no need rescue missions when downed.

The American armed forces are still living in the era of WW2, of aircraft carriers, heavy bombers, big guns and artillery that cost hundreds of millions, billions, a $1.5 trillion budget and growing by the days, with the generals and the Military Industrial Complex working in cahoot to fleece the Treasury and bankrupt the economy, through endless wars, through expending on expensive military hardware happily to fill the pockets of the MIC.

America is stuck with the war business instead of growing its economy for peaceful purposes. Maybe this is the self created interdependencies that they cannot extricate themselves out of it. No war means no one can line their own pockets. The American war machine and the dinosaur generals have one way to go, bury themselves in the hole they dug for themselves. Pete Hegseth is doing the right thing, sack them and rebuild a new armed forces, with new thinking, doctrines and technology. Caveat, this cannot happen overnight. It takes decades to clear the swamp and start anew. America does not have the privilege and resources to save itself, even if Pete Hegseth is successful in getting rid of the junkies and the stars. It would be easy as there will be no or little resistance, as the generals thought they have great jobs waiting for them in the MIC, and happily quit when sacked...with big paying jobs in waiting. The system is so corrupt that everything is controlled by the MIC for profits. The generals are like sheep, not military leaders, not commanders. They can be ordered around, kicked around, humiliated, scolded and sacked by a drunkard and a mad man in Washington. Can you believe that? No more pride and dignity as military commanders with stars on their shoulders.

Too late America. You have fallen asleep for too long and did not know the world has moved on. The nerds are better than your Rambos, Delta Forces, Special Forces meant for yesterday.

China making plans to ban Airbus and Boeing from entering China

The West will continue to attempt to strangle China. China's C919 was not permitted to fly globally, even though it had clocked up tens of thousands of hours safely. Many countries are now buying for their own domestic flights.

As I said before, China's C919 made for sale to its domestic market is huge enough, with thousands of planes needed going forward. What does this mean? It means a lot when China now need not buy planes for domestic routes from Boeing or Airbus. And those countries that bought the C919 for domestic flights need not buy more expensive planes from Boeing and Airbus as well.

Remember that what cannot kill China will make it even more competitive.

For a sitting USA President, a Christian state, making mockery of Jesus is unforgivable

 Laughable when their religion is under attack and no one seems perturbed, except the Pope. Trump claims he is a Christian, holding the bible upside down for a photoshoot years ago and conducting prayer sessions in the Oval Office. I wonder who he was praying to. Oh, probably Judaism, the religion of the Jews.

For a sitting USA President, of a so-called Christian state, making a mockery of Jesus is unforgivable. For the common man it would have been excusable pleading insanity. Trump cannot plead insanity or he will be removed from office, lol. Trump has committed nothing more than blasphemy, clear and simple. What has Christian leaders of the world have to say? What does 'principled' people have to say?

In any other religion, mocking the very epitome of the religion and mocking its very structure, means severe consequences. Salman Rushdie, who wrote the 'The Satanic Verses' was targeted by Iran with a Fatwa for his death for insulting Islam. He lost an eye after surviving an assassination attempt on his life. The followers of Islam do not joke about their religion.

By the way there are so many people on social media that claims Jesus did not even exist, as no records were found in the Roman writings of his very existence. The Romans were meticulous in keeping historical records and yet the man Jesus had never appeared in those records. I am just saying this after listening to the words of many others. Believe it or not can always be gleaned from social media sources available everywhere and I am not one to argue about their relevance or truthfulness.
