The Americans initiated this TPP but many Americans, including the
lawmakers, did not really know what it is, and are opposing it. It is so
unbelieveable that the Americans started something like this pact and
the Americans don’t believe in it and are against it.
It is even more ridiculous that a country like Singapore would send its
Foreign Ministers to America to convince the Americans how good this TPP
is to the Americans. This is what Shanmugam said at the American Jewish
Committee Global Forum, ‘If the US does not have the TPP, it will be a
big loss to the US…’
Without knowing anything about the TPP, and I think many Sinkies too did
not have a clue of how this TPP will affect them, we must still believe
that Shanmugam must have gone through the details, like the ministers
who signed the CECA, and know that it must be very good to Singapore. We
shall believe that Shanmugam is an intelligent man, like all super
talents here, and we shall all go along with him. His confidence in
trying to convince the Americans is enough to prove to me that this TPP
is a good thing. I don’t even have to know what it is.
And I believe the American leaders too will be converted by Shanmugam.
He is rising to the plate as the successor to the Oracle, the One whom
the Americans would sought advice from for his wisdom and to tap his
deep thinking. The TPP, like the CECA, is so good that there is no need
to even tell the people what it is all about. Just have faith in the
govt to do the right thing.
With the TPP Singapore’s economy is going to soar. So will the economy
of the Americans. Are Singapore and the Americans the only two winners
in this pact? The TPP is like being tailor made by the Americans for the
good of Singapore. And we are now the flag bearer of this pact, the
pipe piper.

The party that draft any agreement ALWAYS stands to benefit more than other signatories. If not why propose agreement and ask others to sign. Trade agreements 101.
Also why so many countries chicken out and refuse to sign? Are they stupid or Singapore too clever?
Crony Capitalism knows no bounds.
But there's some hope. If govts can globalise and go "trans Pacific", so can hackers.
The more the cuntrees "pakat" with each other, the more their systems are exposed to attack. I think that is FANTASTIC.
The TPP violates many privacy protocols. It is my understanding that the hacker community HATES shit like this and we will probably see more and more intense attacks by vigilante hackers.
