The cover up of activities by Japanese soldiers in Sudan in the logs of
Japanese soldiers has raised doubts of the participation of Japanese
soldiers fighting in Sudan. The soldiers were sent there as peacekeepers
under the UN mission. Japan has prohibited sending soldiers into theatres
of war and would only allow Japanese soldiers in places where a ceasefire
is in place.
Apparently in the case of Sudan when fighting was escalated, the removal
or non admission of logs by Japanese soldiers in Sudan has led to
suspicion that the Japanese govt is hiding something and what they are
hiding is Japanese soldiers involved in fighting on the ground in Sudan.
Japanese defence expert Tosh Minohara has been quoted to have said this
about the cover up. ‘We all know that things were getting nasty in South
Sudan. If the logs recorded fighting by Japanese troops, what will be
the political fallout?’
ST’s Japan correspondent in Tokyo was reported in the ST to have said
this, ‘At a meeting in February, Defence Minister Tomomi Inada was said
to have given the nod to her top officials to hide the existence of
activity logs maintained by ground forces in South Sudan….The
controversy started brewing last December after the Defence Ministry
declined an information disclosure request for the logs from the media,
which had noted the worsening situation in South Sudan since July last
year….’
What is the Japanese govt trying to hide or to lie to the Japanese
people and the people of the world, that Japanese troops have engaged in
actual warfare again? After having lied about their war atrocities
across Asia, about comfort women, it is not unusual for the Japanese to
lie again about the truth in Sudan.
Japanese soldiers have conducting warfare again, forbidden by their
Constitution and their pledge not to conduct war after their defeat in
the Second World War. And they are going to hide this truth.
Come on, it's only South Sudan, not South China Sea.
ReplyDeleteTomomi Inada got this problem of hiding info. Japan involved in Sudan since 2012. A japanese reporter asked for full disclosure of Japanese troops in Sudan in Oct 2016. Defense ministry replied all records were destroyed. But someone discovered the records Mar 2017 included those said being destroyed.
ReplyDeleteTomomi Inada was lying. Abe s rating went to 35% support.
Tomomi Inada is easy about Sayonan time. She believed Nanjing mass killing of Chinese might not be factual. She believed comfort women were volunteers to "serve" the army. Her standards: give excuses for crimes happened in history. Obviously.
Abe s govt was on his peak when he and ah long met for Apec and both declared worldwide they would continue TPP without US. They also asked China to obey Hague tribunal new laws set up by pinoys.
Weeks ago, Abe s LDP suffered clashing defeat at Tokyo local election. The winner is a new party. The Tokyo governor, is Yuriko Kioke, charbor: to Japanese is not easy to achieve. Tokyo has their own local parliament and districts. In size it is Bigger than sinkieland.
Abe s LDP fortune might have some parts, brought down by Tomomi s "excellent" performance: Lying openly.
Nothing unusual! The US also did the same thing everywhere. They put their people in areas of conflict and called them 'advisers'. They do not even have to that and resort to cover ups. They will use the CIA to do the dirty job, without the US being officially involved. After that, they will come in as the 'guardian angel' to save the country they helped to destroy, sell weapons and seize oilfields and station troops on the pretext of maintaining peace.
ReplyDeleteIf Chinese troops were to be involved in areas of conflict, the whole world would be jumping with rage and condemnation. This is world of double standards.
The Japanese are like that. During WW2, chemical warfare were tested on the Chinese, but they deny all of that. What do you expect from the Japs? Even atrocities committed during WW2 were never officially admitted.
Abe s falling fortune is related to plummeting trade. With China, biggest trading partner: dropped 9.2% (Bloombert Oct 16). Shippments are dropping monthly. ie sales are not doing well.
ReplyDeleteAh long s time is coming too hopefully.
One article said 33% of workforce is foreigners. 47% of workforce is non sinkies.
When PR 47% and Foreign talents 33% keep growing, Singapore GDP keep growing by figure only. It is a bluff to sinkies s own pockets.
Do not cheat ourselve. GDP 2.4% growth now is not helping Sinkies pockets to grow. Foreigners pockets are counted as GDP growth. Its 47% of the GDP growth reported here.
Sinkies own cargo trade will shrink when Malaysia ports are ready. Own airlines will drop profit. China tourists are declining. Sinkies retails are losing money.
Sinkies usable/workable labor cannot find jobs to help own economy. Liberal immigration is the cause.
Foreigners earnings are shipped out. Maids, foreign workers, foreign managers all send money home. PR working for 30 years here too, will sent home all earnings, including CPF earned by PR.
Sinkieland is heading for a downfall for the Foreign Talent policy. Sinkies children will have lesser and lesser resources to pay for "defense" and "water", gas, oil and foods.
In short: real picture is IMport is far bigger than Export. S$ will fall when sinkie cannot pay off the debts. Big loans are due: yours and mine cpf.
Anon 12:08 pm,
ReplyDeleteI thought all those problems about Sinkies that you mentioned already happened even before 2015, or even before 2011?
But then despite all those problems, why did PAP still manage to obtain 70% votes in GE 2015?
And even without the "LKY died" factor, PAP could still get a decent 60% votes and 93% seats in GE 2011!
So do you think PAP will win again with 60% or more votes and more than 90% seats in GE 2020?
And if yes, do you think the problems of Sinkies you mentioned will continue to be there or even worse?
I think PAP will change the election rules to having just one big GRC with 90 MPs for next election.
ReplyDeleteSo that an opposition party can only contest the election as one party with 90 candidates, or cannot contest.
And even if there is contest, PAP can win 100% seats with only 50.00001% votes!
And most likely the opposition parties are unlikely to be able to get 90 candidates, so PAP will win through a walkover.
Possible or not, u say lah? Sinkies have problems? Sinkies suffering? Who cares?
I think Hsien Loong dare to do what he has been doing is simply because no opposition party is strong to win an election.
ReplyDeleteIn fact I remember seeing him on TV openly boasted about it by saying: "No opposition leader, whether it is SDP or WP is willing to come forward to say I am ready to lead Singapore, I want to be the PM. Nobody."
PAP cannot be overthrown simply by criticisms, whether it is in kopitiam, or on internet, or how many Sinkies hated PAP, or even if Hong Lim Park crowds are in the tens of thousands.
ReplyDeleteSo smart Sinkies who want to have a good life will do either of 2 things.
1. Make more money under PAP. And this is very possible if the Sinkie is smart.
2. If cannot make more money in Sinkieland, migrate elsewhere to do so. Or at least to have a better life there even with less money.
ReplyDeleteAnon 1.04
THAT'S a simplistic view.
PAP Can be overthrown over night or in just a day if the Daft sinkies wake up from their follies.
Just simoky vote the Opposition. On the Election D Day.
You think the smart sinkies can be prosperous forever in Sinkieland??
Time is ticking away to the 60s when she is prematurely thrown out.
Only wise sinkies not necessarily poor sinkies migrated.
They are the Enlightened Ones not tied to apron strings or leashed on their necks.
12:39pm
ReplyDeleteYour way of thinking is wrong. How will u see my thinking as right?
U get what u hope for and hoping i am wrong. I too hope everyday is spring in sinkieland. Just list those winter indications: NOL was sold at loss. UBS shares at GIC was sold at loss of S$3billions. SIA profit dropped. Isetan Metro Robinson doing well?
When at 60% you are so proud of Pap. When it goes to 40%, u will be so proud of oppo, whoever. Because u cannot get back your cpf, which the govt owe u. In short, u have not think deep enough because u are not those people playing with shares.
In the past Keppel was ang pai. Now will you go for Keppel? It was lucky lau go took away Tianjing project to be govt project few years ago. Otherwise, this group will have more problems.
It reflect the "strategic path" was wrong. Who in the cabinet have a hand on this company?
U get my message? U are similar to the smart fellow who bought UBS shares and claimed it is long term investment. He is still there. Did he say sorry to sinkies? No need bcos no one bother about the responsibility.
This is real bcos money is state funds not own funds. In the whole sinkieland, majority are own fund pay own debt. If the overall economy does not benefit them, such as Minimum Sum cut off the drawings, amounting to default payment, will your wife still support u to cheer for ah long?
Dont bluff seasoned players. Its the market overall reactions plays the real game. Not ah long or familee can over rule the market. Bad time is not now. So u can yaya.
1:36pm
ReplyDeleteThe day when sinkieland run out of cash to pay for old folks medical and numerous projects ah long has committed may come.
Which projects are making money? The money is cpf borrowed at very low cost. Now GIC can only get 3%+ returns. Less the millions salaries and rental. How much left for social purpose?
The worst of all policy is to stop sinkies getting good jobs. They give good jobs to foreigners through employment pass, means cpf will have less money for repaying the retirees.
47% work force will ship cpf out of this island. Can u imagine the future for sinkieland?
WP has to be forced into leading sinkieland. Pap is led by army officers from cabinet to perm secs. The results is similar to NOL eventually.
ReplyDeleteTHE WISEST OR THE VERY MOST WISE THING TO DO IN
THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION IS TO VOTE FOR PAP
AND
NOBODY ELSE.
IF ALTERNATIVE PARTIES ARE WISE,
THEY SHOULD
NOT
CONTEST FOR ANY SEAT
INCLUDING HOUGANG AND
ALJUNIED GRC.
BE WISE AND PATRIOTIC,
VOTE PAP ALL THE WAY IN THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION.

WP has to be forced into leading sinkieland.
ReplyDelete4:10 pm
Very, very difficult lah.
Because like what anon 1:04 pm already said, smart Sinkies will only want to make more money. But how to make more money by joining the Sinkie opposition?
So without more smart Sinkies joining WP, not to say whether they will even want to accept WP Ah Hia as leader, how can WP be strong to contest 100% seats? If can only contest 30% seats, of what use if even can win all, and which is also unlikely? PAP will still be the govt and have 2/3 majority to pass laws and make all the policy and decisions.
That's why majority Sinkies see no point voting more opposition, if the opposition is not ready to be govt.
And that's also why they see no point voting for Chee Soon Juan, as shown by the 2016 BB by election outcome. What is one more opposition MP? Worse, PAP may even tekan the residents if they vote Chee Soon Juan as their MP.
So the future for Singapore opposition is almost hopeless, and so daft, money no enough and jobs stolen by foreigners Sinkies will continue to suffer.
Actually even if WP Ah Hia really wanted to be PM and knowing Sinkies very well, he knows it is very difficult or even impossible for him to become PM.
ReplyDeleteThat's why he rather say WP is not ready to be govt (true) and he has no ambition to be PM (maybe partly true).
'Sinkies will continue to suffer' unquote
ReplyDeleteVery true. Now, it is still not end game yet. When they have 100% support, then by that time to cry and beg also no use. Too late!
Life is good for now. We do not know for how long it will last. But with China taking the lead to develop alternative trade routes further North, the writing is on the wall.
More good years will not come by. You can bet on it.
Smart people are usually kiasi and kiasu. There are too many Kiasi and Kiasu people is Sinkieland. What Sinkieland needs is more courageous and righteous people who are willing to sacrifice their time and efforts for the greater good of humanity.
ReplyDeleteSmart people also tend to be selfish and self-protective, unwilling to do things that will not have some returns or rewards for themselves.
LKY's way of doing things had inevitably, in one way or another, breed lots of Kiasi and Kiasu Self-Centred Smart People. One can easily identify them from across the whole spectrum of government, all the three branches of government - executive, legislative and judiciary - as well as in all walks of life.
The system was good while it lasted, as long as there is a strong and wise man who is able to command the respect of all, local and foreign, facets of society. But when there is not other leaders who can step into his shoes, the law of the jungle takes over.
The first sign of trouble is the Smart Ones at the very top of the pyramid start to take care of their own selfish interests and then make life more and more untenable for the others, irrespective of whether you are for or against them.
Next, comes the ganging up of all the unscrupulous scoundrels to further tighten their grip on power in order to facilitate their wayward scheming of reaping more and more rewards for themselves and their cronies. Sinkieland is now at this second stage.
The third phase will be the satge of full plundering. Before this happens, the scoundrels will ensure that nobody would be able to go after them, what the country collapse.
Even if life is very bad, it may not be bad for majority Sinkies.
ReplyDeleteEven if life is very bad, Sinkies will not want to protest in large numbers even at Hong Lim Park, let alone illegally on the streets.
Even if PAP govt is very bad, the opposition is not strong or united to be ready to be govt. And majority Sinkies will not vote for a not ready to be govt opposition.
So even if life for Sinkies is very bad and PAP govt is also very bad, PAP will still win elections and the streets will be peaceful like now and before. So what more does Hsien Loong want?
I have a feeling that Hsien Yang and Wei Ling must have also see something very wrong with brother Hsien Loong and his PAP govt that they have decided to "go public" on their own brother Hsien Loong on a private matter.
ReplyDeleteIn fact I see it as that they are giving a warning about them to Sinkies and the Sinkie opposition.
So it is now up to the Sinkies and the Sinkie opposition to act on the warning.
The fourth phase will be the stage of flight. First is the flight of capital - cash and investment. Second will be the flight of confidence. Third will be the flight of families and relatives of the scoundrels. Fourth will be the flight of the scoundrels themselves. Sime scapegoats will be left behind to pretend to handle the mess and prop up the country.
ReplyDeleteThe fifth and final phase is the total collapse of the country. Chaos and crimes are the order of the day. Possibly another country will take advantage of the situation and move in to take over control. Either a neighbouring country or a super power.
The fifth and final phase is the total collapse of the country. Chaos and crimes are the order of the day.
ReplyDelete6:40 pm
When do u forsee that to happen? Next 5 years, next 10 years, or next 20 years?
So that as a smart Sinkie, I can safely continue to make money while there is still time, and to run road when it is about time.
When worse come to the worse, must run road liao lor, don't care whether ready to run road or not.
ReplyDeleteIf you wait until the last phase, then you are a dumbest of the daft Sinkies. You cannot be a smart Sinkie as claimed by you to be.

ReplyDeletel shall vote for lncoming President Halimah.
Sin needs a president that can and will complement with the Government. Both must be able to work hand in hand and if not, hands in gloves.
With the Remunerations of one or two terms, president Halimah could invest in foreign countries and helps to bring wealth home to Sin.
Time to give 100% support to PAP and the Talents PAP picks to run Sin.

That response just proved that you are not a smart person.
Better still, vote for Dr Mohd Abdullah bin Tanchinbok.
ReplyDeleteThe PE has become a JOKE. There is no point having an election. If LHL wants full control over the Puppet President, just revert to the previous system of nominating the Puppet President. Don't waste public funds and resources spent in organizing and preparing for the PE and citizens' time of having to go and cast their votes.
ReplyDeleteAll my adult children and my wife and myself will be going on a short holiday somewhere far away from this madness.
Electing the EP is to show the world that we are a'leemocratic' country hor. We have free and 'leemocratic' elections. The Government is chosen by the people and for the people. In fact, just like the GE, everything is so tightly controlled after years of tinkering, we actually do not need a GE.
ReplyDeleteI think we should follow the North Korean system. Perpetual leadership, nobody kpkb or complain about not being of one particular race to qualify.
30% knows the GE system and the EP is a joke. I do not know what the 70% think.
There is no point having an election.

For sure the other 2 candidates will be disqualified lah.
So there will be no PE and Halimah will become President just like how the late Nathan became.
PAP sure win, so do PAP endorsed PE candidates.

That's your definition of smart lah, and u are entitled to your definition.
My definition of smart is having lots of money, being able to make lots of money, and not lose the money made through stupidity and so continue to have a good life. So in this sense I am smart.
So r u also smart based on my definition?
30% knows the GE system and the EP is a joke. I do not know what the 70% think.
ReplyDelete9:08 pm
I am one of the 70%, and I also think the reserved EP is a joke. That's why I will spoil my vote if there is a PE. I don't want a reserved for Malay EP, although I heck care if the P is a appointed or walkover one.
But I didn't spoil my vote for GE because I think we still need a govt, and to me PAP is still the lesser evil, even though PAP is not good anymore. So I voted for the lesser of 2 evils and become one of the 70% last GE.
My definition of smart is having lots of money, being able to make lots of money, and not lose the money made through stupidity and so continue to have a good life. So in this sense I am smart.
ReplyDelete9:18 pm.
Defination defines you or you define the defination?
Looks like making money is of paramount importance to you and yet you still have not made sufficiently enough for you to have a good life.
You are not only greedy, stupid but also pathetic!
Hahaha........
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of SMART people here!
Good!
It can happen when Pap has to go.
ReplyDelete1. There is $240 billions dollars private loans already there. 75% are for properties.
2. Prices are not shooting up. Not easy to get away from debts for sinkies.
What needs to happen:
sudden fall of Sin dollars vs US.
Present mass immigrants for jobs is a good jab to poor export and more import (of services). Net export vs import will be negative.
2.4 GDP growth is likely come from govt spending. When more and more foreign labor: from 47& to 60&. The economy is likely to collapse.
Pap can run the same policy for another 5 to 8 years. By then, unemployment for sinkies will reach the height and over night Sin dollars might fall, may over 12, to 20% of its current value.
3 banks will bankrupt. Loans borrowers cannot pay the loans with their earnings ie same salary already low being curbed by foreigners influx, worth only 20%.
Pap will have to run. Watch it coming by voting for ah long. It will come some days as import is getting bigger and with foreigners taking away cash and sent overseas.
No single country can sustain. Only foolish country does such silly policy. In addition, also aiming to be attack dog of US. Tourism will suffer with increase export. Consumption low, Investment low, only govt spending strong, net export negative. How long can this smaller than Tokyo country goes on? Another 50Years? Tankuku will be the pm.
The economy is likely to collapse.
ReplyDelete10:28 pm
If economy can collapse, should already collapse yesterday lah.
If opposition can be ready to be govt, should already be ready in 2015 lah.
Waiting for a better govt than PAP to be elected or a better PM? This one really tankuku lah.

ReplyDeletelt is not wrong to want to be rich.
The Point is that our Sage says 君子好财， 取之有德，meaning wealth must be made with conscience and integrity.
Unfortunately, leader and professional are now mostly unethical and exploit and even cheat to get rich fast.
lt is nonsensical to hoard wealth which obe does not have the time nor the energy to spend.
Worse is the Poor gets exploited for these filthy scums to get richer and they care not the millions that are suffering the Ravaging Poverty, Corruption, Abuse of Power and Other Sinful Deeds.
lt is only normal and right to want wealth, but NOT GREED.
Finding wealth by or through unethical practice and deed is sinful.
The Sad Thing is that; in reality, most regimes are in cahoot with businesses to exploit the Lay People. This will not stop so long there is mankind.
Remember, no one can take wealth along when one dies.
Hoarding wealth itself is quite a sin, simply because it deprives the Purpose of Money if it is not used to better the living of the Society at large.

ReplyDeleteU two belong to the sinkie economy is unsinkable school of thot.
Suharto should have sought ah long as adviser and not listening to ah long s father.
How did Suharto give up his seat for 30 over years?
Sinkieland under ah long has 106% state debts $about 360 billions (CPF) and private debts has $240 billions. Ah long continue to import foreign labor to make export that cannot sell better than HK in terms of financial services. Look at the IPO, what sinkieland can earn from the regions booming industries?
Give good financing industry jobs to sunny lands malaysians and indians. Manufacturing jobs from local industries are also gone to indians.
One characteristic of Indians is: they keep the earned money and sent to India to buy lands.
Tharman said 47% labor force is foreigners. U two are not concerned about the policy and consequence.
It meant u two are ah long father s generation: ready to leave this land. So grab whatever pap can give and live day by day.
If u consider what future can sinkieland have with such conditions: high debts and foreign labor taking over economy, u must be chaitow (radish). Kena chopped by pap policy to deprive your children s future, still has feeling ah long s father is in charge. Time up.
It is sad that a person had to do so much in his lifetime, struggling and fighting to do well in school, university, workplace and career just to accumulate all the wealth and earthly possessions.
ReplyDeleteDoes he or she really have all the time to enjoy his wealth in his retirement at 62 or even older, with only a short span of time left? Is that all there is to the meaning of existence in this short space of a lifetime? To accumulate wealth to pass on? To let the children fight over the inheritence? How wise is that kind of thinking?
In the end they just go away empty handed. Is that worth all the struggle?
I rather live with peace of mind, enough to sustain my daily needs, and that is all I ask for. Maybe I am not that smart in thinking like others.
ReplyDeleteChinese idiom:
Monies in Yin Hang
Ren in Tien Tang.
R.I.P.
"I rather live with peace of mind, enough to sustain my daily needs, and that is all I ask for. Maybe I am not that smart in thinking like others."
ReplyDeleteU cannot live in peace when you want to do simplest jobs such as clearner, security guards, there are foreigners taking over bcos the contracts are awarded to foreigners. Now more local cleaners after GE2015: the "conversion" and the Pap suddenly realized their wrong direction.
There are suitable jobs young people need to start families taken over by foreigners: engineers, IT, administrators, accountants, bankers to cashiers.
If you count to live day to day, there must be someone passing you money day to day? M i correct? Your children can be the source, if you have put efforts to nurture them.
When Pap snatches the jobs your children deserved after serving NS and still doing in camp, and you keep quiet about the wrong policy, you are not getting the "live day by day". You will not live in peace.
You have to fight against the policy that snatch your future away, together with your children s future: For: when your children grow old, their lives will be very miserable, if you ignore the Pap mass immigration policy now.
It is a sin of this generation to allow Pap to snatch away children s well deserved future. When you go, you have peace because you know your children can live on happily. You cannot leave in peace otherwise. Correct?
I am from the 30%, and have been all my life, all of my pack of old bones at 72, because I disagree with the PAP policies.
ReplyDeleteBut the frustration is that the PAP knows what most Sinkies are made of, and what they are after - greed, fear, kiasu and egoistic - and the PAP go after them using tactics that cater to their demands. So, what more can I or the 30% do when 70% continue to vote for the lightning logo, despite knowing that jobs are taken over by foreigners and the future of their children are at stake?
They ask me, I ask who?
