People change as they get older. Everybody. Not even a single exception.
People with money, tons of them, crazy rich and filthy wealthy, change even more than ordinary folks.
People
with power, prolonged power, unfettered power and absolute power,
change beyond recognition and understanding by the common folks. Even
their relatives and friends cannot recognise or understand them anymore.
And even they are not able to recognise or understand themselves.
Ultimately, they don't even know what they are speaking about,
especially when they speak in public. Why?
Simple. After so long
in power, the power becomes a form of opiat, a kind of drug even more
powerful than the power itself. This power drug gets into their heads.
They eat with power. They sleep with power. They dream of power. They
even shit out power. Then they start to imagine and hallucinate that
they are Gods, or Mini-Gods, or Sons of God, or God's right-hand and
left-hand Angels, or God's annointed Saviours, or God's Appointees or at
least God's Gifts to mankind.
That's where the downfall starts.
The
rot starts with their inner selves. Soon it manifests outwards. Then it
permeates into the society and environment, perversely and pervasively
all-encompassing. Then the whole nation rots together. Majority of the
common folks don't even know what hits them.
The ultimate collapse is inevitable. It is not a matter of if but a mater of when.
The
power incumbents will try to delay the collapse as long as possible.
Meanwhile, painting a rosy picture to the world, a fantastic
too-good-to-be-true pseudo self-imagined vision of the future - for
example, a smart city, an eco-city, Shangri-la or Swiss Standard of
Living, etc.
As they dull and lull the minds of the masses, they
quickly hasten themselves to fill up their own bank accounts at all
costs. Time is the essence. Time is $MONEY$. To them.
When the
inevitable happens, the common folks are left to carry the babies. To
suffer the unspeakable and unimaginable consequences. But those who have
enriched themselves have already flown far away, together with their
families, relatives and cronies - into another world, another
dimension....
This is the irony of trust, of truth and of transient existence.

Singapore, what do you really Stand For?
Singapore, what do you really stand for?
I do not understand you at all.
When confronted, you say, "abide by rule of law".
But all this while, we feel like being ruled by law.
Now, I think we're ruled by the Minister for Law.
Singapore, are you rule of law,
Or rule by law,
Or ruled by the Minister for Law?
Singapore, if you are rule of law,
Then you should not have
a Home Affairs Minister
who is also a Minister for Law.
Singapore, if you are ruled by law,
then you should not be quarrelling
with your sister-in-law,
'cause she's part of your own flaw.
Singapore, if you are ruled by the Minister for Law,
Then you must have lots and lots of flaw,
So much so you are blind, deaf and mute to our call -
The loud screaming call for justice for all.
A confused Singapore citizen like all.
Happy birthday to me from my son-in-law.
This is my birthday gift to you all.
My dearest beloved Singapore, stand tall.
Please don't collapse and fall.

Basically 2 words "Fuck PAP!!!"
Power corrupts!
Absolute power corrupts absolutely!
Look at the USA. So powerful, now so corrupted a country, politically, morally and ethically. Need further proof?

“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.” ― Frédéric Bastiat
One
Major Cause for the Rot of a Society,
IS THE IMPROPRIETY OF THE LEEDERSHIP.
lt is the greed, the less than wholesome legal system and abuse of authority ?
lnvoking the divine to come and save is futile. lt is much more effective to start the journey to be with ones almighty. Hoping and waiting is too excruciating and worse, hopeless.
