A Thought A Day For The Future Generations



This is a question of right and wrong.

It is not a question of whether appropriate actions will or not be taken by those who have been sworn in to serve the country and to fulfil their duties according to our Constitution to the nation.

Politicians can play dirty, twist and turn, deceive and lie, cover one another's backs, go against the Constitution and the Law, and do whatever wrongs they can or have done, they have the prerogative to do so within their mental faculties and conscience. We do not have the power to ensure that they are above board at all times, doing things in the interests of the people instead of in the interests of a dictator or a dictatorial political party. However, if it is in an open and proper democracy, we do have that tiny bit of power called the VOTE. Collectively, when there is a majority, we do have that power to vote out a rogue political party that had become too big for its shoes, or become sekf-serving instead of serving the people. Collectively, we can vote that rogue political party out, and initiate a new government for better or for worse. In order words, CHANGE. We are the catalyst of CHANGE - the change agent, so to speak. Only if it's a proper democracy, not in a controlled democracy. A parliamentary democracy is a form of controlled democracy. This has to CHANGE.

In addition, our role as citizens is to serve as another form of checks and balance. It is not just the job of the Opposition politicians. We, citizens, too have the responsibility to take notice and voice our concerns when things do not seem to be right, do not seem to be what they should have been, and we have to bring them out, or at least call them out openly, so that the matters and issues are not swept under the carpet. They must be recorded in the public domain, irrespective of right or wrong, good or bad idea - for the sake of our future generations, for the benefits of our descendants. This is our primary duty and responsibility to our descendants individually as well as collectively.

It is for future generations and future governments to discover, discern and discourse, and to decide on what further steps need to be taken during their future time in transition, for the good of our country, our nation.


Ten wrongs do not make one right.

Hundreds of wrongs gone unrecorded, unreported and not acted upon or covered up, by rubbing shoulders and gangland behaviours, may have gone by. But all those wrongs cannot even make one right. No way. Wrong is wrong! No matter how you use your cunning words to explain it off, how you use crooked mind to twist it, wrong is always wrong. Never right.

Black is black. White is white. And there are various shades of grey. Black can never be white, and white can never be black. When the two mixed, there will be various shades of grey. Though some cunning lawyers have attempted to argue convincingly in courts to turn black into white and white into black, the truth remains that black is still black and white is still white.

One lie begets a thousand lies. One cover-up begets a thousand cover-ups. That is the nature of things. That is the nature of men, especially greedy men in power. So too are women who are full of wiles and whispers. Therefore, we the citizens must also be fully aware and awake to such matters and manipulations happening around us day in and day out. And if we see something that is going astray, going off tangent, we have the duty and responsibility to call it out, to shout as loud as possible, just like seeing a fire burning down our own house.

A country of robotic human beings, insensitive to right or wrong, without conscience, without ethical and moral compass, only in pursuit of money, is doomed to become a dodo bird. Become extinct in a matter of time. Just like a meteor. A short flash of brilliance and then total silence and darkness.

Is Singapore just like a meteor, soon to be vaporized into the oblivion of Deep Darkness?

  1. Unless something serious and drastic is done, with the present money-minded 4G clowns steering our country, soon more and more hardships and sufferings will appear.

    There is now a very urget need to institute real change. A new government must be formed to replace the present group of lackluster and self-centered mobsters and terrorists, terrorising their own country folks all the time and taking advantage of them endlessly.

  2. Beware of politicians who are also lawyers.

  3. Recently, both the Home Affairs Minister and the Defence Minister again, making use of the opportunity of the 9/11 20th anniversary, spoke of terrorism to instil fear into the hearts and minds of the ignorant country folks. Fear-mongering has become a weapon of political expediency, a tool to brain-wash the masses into submission and oppression.

  4. The real terrorists are the ones calling others as terrorists. Just look at the number of people they have bombed and killed will give you the answers.

    All white lies about terrorists are white lies.

  5. The Muslim terrorists were fighting against white supremacist terrorists. Why then are Singapore politicians warning about terror threats and getting Singapore involved in their spats ?

  6. The vote will only be useful when it is used wisely. Otherwise, it means nothing.

    We may have that voting power, but when the rules are construed slowly and discreetly to favour the ruling elites, with the monetary power in their hands, coupled with the law on their side, it is a frustrating situation to ponder.

    Layers as politicians know how to create a solid base to stay in power perpetually. Ironically, it does not work in the familee with all the best legal minds still unable to do a foolproof job.

  7. Politicians have to use bogeymen to put fear and anxiety into the hearts and mins of the people so they can be easier to control..

    The USA had always been using Russia as the perpetual bogeyman and now targeting China as well. They blow up issues, fabricate lies, poison the minds of allies and poodles, in fact facilitating the rise of terrorism or even creating them like ISIS, all for the purpose of diverting attention away from problems in their own backyard.

    Singapore has to use terrorist to instil fear and unease to divert attention away from problems. They cannot use Indonesia or Malaysia as bogeyman, right? They will be digging their own graves if they do that. So always blame the terrorist like the USA. Ironically almost every country knows the USA is the biggest terrorist in the world already.

  8. It is already getting dark (pun) and darker in Singapore. Soon, very soon, the whole country will be overwhelmed by darkness and thereafter goes into a state of Deep Purple Darkness, just like the Black Hole of Calcutta.
