Foreign talent spreading HIV patients' particulars

The HIV-positive status of 14,200 people, and their identification numbers and contact details have been leaked online by an American fraudster, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Monday (28 January)....

The leaked information included their name, identification number, contact details such as phone number and address, HIV test results and related medical information.

The details of another 2,400 individuals identified through contact tracing up to May 2007 were also leaked, MOH added....

On 22 January, MOH was notified by the police that confidential information from MOH’s HIV Registry may have been disclosed by an unauthorised person. MOH made a police report the following day....

The confidential information was in the illegal possession of Mikhy K Farrera Brochez, a male US citizen who was residing in Singapore, on an employment pass, between January 2008 and June 2016, according to MOH.

Brochez was convicted of numerous fraud and drug-related offences in March 2017, and he was sentenced to 28 months’ jail.

He had lied about his HIV status to the Ministry of Manpower, in order to obtain and maintain his employment pass, furnished false information to police officers during a criminal investigation, and used forged degree certificates in job applications....YahooNews

'In an interview he gave the local press in 2010, Brochez – who flaunted the fake qualifications “APA, APS, MCollT, MS DPSY, DipED” – boasted that he learned to speak, read and write fluent Hebrew, Spanish and English by the age of three.

He added that his mother, a supposedly “renowned professor of child and adolescent psychology, child neurology and gifted science and mathematics education in the UK” named Dr Teresa King, trained him.' Comment posted by Anonymous in mysingaporenews.

The above two quotes, from Yahoo News and a comment posted by anonymous likely quoted from the main media, are very disturbing. But not to worry, many people responsible for preventing such dangerous nonsense from happening again would shrug it off as one of those things, something to bear with as we must open our leg wide wide to bring in more 'foreign talents' aka wild life to give this piece of rock, barren of local talent, a new life. The beautiful picture of the 'foreign talent', so sweet looking, a child prodigy, must be seen as good material to add to our gene pool to make daft Singaporeans more talented and for the better. Many daft must be dying to sleep with him and benefited from his rich DNA.

For those who are concerned about the well being of this island and its people, they must be wondering how to make sure that such wild life would not get in here so easily to replace our 'useless' PMETs. It is easy to quip about opening up and bringing in more foreign talent aka wild life, tagging along with their fake degrees, fake resumes and unknown background. The big question is whether there is an infrastructure of institutions and systems to make sure that all the fakes are checked and rid of. When you have no means of verifying the certificates and resumes of these wild life, every hire is a RISK, high probability of a fake.

In this case, it is so clear that a little effort in checking the background of this wild life would expose his lies. Or is this a case of too big a lie that awed the interviewers and employers, ang moh tua kee, they could not believe such a big lie can be false? The person or persons hiring this wild life without checking need to be fired. You just have to google the people he bragged about in his resume would be enough to find out he was lying. Did they bother? When he was first tested positive at SATA, was there any follow up to track him and bundle him out of harms away and away?

This guy and many of his kind would be laughing themselves silly at the stupidity in this island and paying them big salaries to replace our 'useless' PMETs. Oh, his child prodigy status is real and genuine. It needed extra talent to make so many people looked so silly for so long without knowing that they were being misled by a fraudster.

Another case of this foreign talent myth is about to begin in the Sports Hub. It's 'untalented' Singaporean CEO is booted, oops resigned after a year, and they are going round the world to look for another wild life. Who decided that the CEO should resign, foreigners? What are they looking for? You do not need a foreign talent to run a chicken rice stall selling to locals. They want to bring in all the top events in the world to this island for who? This is another red herring like looking for another foreign coach to turn the national football team into a world beater.

After so many years of independence and gloating about being a global city, a nation, we just cannot nurture our very own talent and must depend on wild life, many from 3rd World countries, from little villages in the jungle, many with dubious and fake qualifications. So many of the local institutions are still run and managed by foreign talents and wild life. Goh Keng Swee, and the pioneers that built this nation must be turning in their graves if they know that many top positions in the island are helmed by so called foreign talents, often by wild life with unverifiable of fake degrees like this case. What is the purpose of nation building and pride of a nation and its people?

At the rate it is going, if Singapore is not going to train its own talents, not giving Singaporeans a chance to be talents, this country would be taken over by foreigners and wild life in a matter of time. The task of checking the qualifications and background of foreigners and wild life is not easy and often near impossible. Should this be an acceptable risk, never mind, no need paper qualifications, can talk their way through and pretend that they can do the job will do? Stupidity has no cure.

The decline of this island into the 3rd World is imminent. How many fakes are there in our midst and managing and kicking our 'useless' over qualified PMETs?

PS. There is no need to educate and train Singaporeans. Close all the institutions of higher learnings. We can hire all the foreign talents cum wild life we need from the rest of the world cheaply. Singaporeans can do the donkey work of manual labour and no talent needed jobs, like drivers, security guards, cleaners and delivery men.

Just wait for more serious security breaches in the ministries and GLCs that irresponsibly allowed foreigners and wild life to manage and control their sensitive and secret data and operating systems.  When that happens they will announce more COIs and tell you that they will make sure it would not happen again. For now, nothing happens, so it is ok, very safe with foreigners and wild life in charge and in control.  Oops, just give them a pink IC and call them Singaporeans, instant citizens, instant Singaporeans, like instant trees. Everything is fine....
