COVID-19 Singapore: Prolonged Entrenched Political Power Breeds Ills To Party And Society

 

A regime that has held power for far too long (more than 5 decades) is bound to become arrogant, cocky, over-confident and self-assured. Never made mistakes?

Over the past 20 months or so, we can clearly see that the Millionaires' Multi-Ministry Elephant Task Forced (Into Our Throats) is devoid of common sense and proper forward planning. Every policy, protocol and measure is reactionary, after-thoughts, based on hindsight instead of foresight.

When a group of highly educated and intelligent persons refused to use common sense, they resort to conjectures, theories, double-edged fork-tongue advice from non-experts masquerading as experts, fancy dreams and fantasies.

Outsiders can see through their blunders and mistakes but they themselves couldn't. This is the present state of deep shit affairs.

Moreover, with a ruling party filled with people who have always excelled in their academic results, and acquired top scholarships, never tasted failures nor downfalls, and never admit mistakes (one cannot learn and make corrections if one does not identify and admit mistakes first), how can they see or realise their own blunders and mistakes?

Furthermore, with the habitual and strong desire to hear only sweet music to their ears, and the frequent and incorrigible urge towards self-praise, there is very little hope that they will be able to hear or discern the repeated suggestions, recommendations and warnings given by the public in the various social media platforms.

However, that doesn't mean that we should give up and stop our unpaid, free, efforts to continue to alert them and warn them. This is our country and we are part of whether that happens to our country.

We are the affected party on the ground, at ground zero. They are at cloud 9, high above in their comfortable and grand six-stars ivory towers. Usually, the communications wave get lost in the wavelengths that travel from the bottom to the top because there exists too many layers of filters, and safety and security protections surrounding them.

Millionaires are afraid to die.

Millionaires with unfettered powers are only afraid of ghosts - the three ghosts of The Christmas Carol - of past, present and future, and nothing else.

Hope the three ghosts will visit them soon, to kick them in the ass and wake them up to carry out the long delayed necessary changes to themselves and to their relationship with society.


Early Merry Christmas!

When a regime is facing its downfall, it starts to make frequent mistakes and blunders, one after another in succession.

The more mistakes and blunders it makes, the more it covers up. The more it covers up, the more loopholes and leakage happen.

This becomes a vicious cycle.

Then the vicious cycle gathers momentum and it becomes an avalanche that nobody is able to stop it. Then, "Game Over!"

In a final big bang, the regime collapsed.

And all the king's horses and all the king's men could not put humpty dumpty together again!

PAP is growing too fat and rounded, like Humpty Dumpty, with a very big swell-headed head and a huge stomach. Both these joined together make it looks just like a round oval shape egg.

That Humpty Dumpty Big Fat Egg has been sitting high up in the Ivory Tower. One fateful day, this Big Fat Humpty Dumpty Egg is going to fall down from the high ivory tower and breaks into pieces.

And it will never be able to be put back in one piece again.

It will be sudden. It will be unexpected like an accident. But it's not an accident. It's been years and years in the making for that one fateful day.

It will be a total shock, a total disaster for PAP. But good for Singaporeans. This is the important point.
