MOH's latest arbitrary decree to impose upon everyone the need to be re-vaccinated every 270 days not only has no scientific basis but is also Absurd (no common sense), Impractical and Draconian.
Even in the US, their CDC does not approve a continuous booster shot beyond the third shot. The Chief of the US Covid-19 Advisor said that it is not necessary.Even the Chief of the World Health Organisation has repeatedly said that it is not necessary to have booster shot after booster shot. He specifically said that it is Impractical and very costly.
On what basis did the Singapore Experts Committee came up with this absurd, Impractical and Draconian rule/decree that impinges on the basic human rights and liberties (work, movement and living) of decent human beings?
It is definitely against the International Laws and our National Constitution.
Singaporeans must call a stop for the trigger-happy style of this Covid-19 Management Team to continue inventing one Draconian measure after another, as if they are Absolute Monarchs.
By so doing, they don't seem to care about our life and livelihood at all. Therefore, it is absurd to even think that they care about our health and well-being.
Time to wake up, Singaporeans!
In reality, it is very clear to every discerning person, foreigners and locals, that what the Team of Probono Pro-Temasek Leeders care about is the disposal of the large stocks of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines stupidly bought by Temasek, and are now stuck in the deep-freeze cold storage expensive and costly containers. That's why they are now, in a way, forcing down the throats of the people to get the booster shots.
ReplyDeleteThe complaints allege numerous serious crimes including misfeasance and misconduct in public office; gross negligence manslaughter; corporate manslaughter, murder, conspiracy to murder, genocide and crimes against humanity....
ReplyDeleteA total of 74 deaths were registered by late morning between New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, Australia's three most populous states, exceeding the previous national high of 57 last Thursday, official data showed.
ReplyDelete"Today, is a very difficult day for our state," New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet said during a media briefing as the state reported 36 deaths, a new pandemic high.
Perrottet, who has consistently ruled out any tough curbs due to high vaccination levels, said hospitals can still cope with the rising number of admissions. "Despite the challenges, they are not unique to the rest of the world," he said.
Amid rising hospitalisations, Victoria on Tuesday declared a "code brown" in hospitals, typically reserved for shorter-term emergencies, that would give hospitals the power to cancel non-urgent health services and cancel staff leave.

ReplyDeleteFeel blessed because this will not happen in SinLand as death is classified as cause by "underlying condition" not covid or vaccine as the model standard template answer.
Singapore is playing down the figures so as to deceive the people, both foreign travellers and locals.
ReplyDeleteWe can all see very clearly that the main objective of Singapore's MTF in this Pandemic is not health but economy.
Even the economics figures have been massaged to make them look good and promising.
All the statistics provided by Singapore cannot be fully relied upon.
That's why the US Department of State declared that Singapore's Covid-19 Situation is UNKNOWN, and all US citizens are advised not to visit Singapore because even the Vaccinated can get infected by the Omicron and Delta variants.

Now it is time for Devil Take The Hindmost aka "every man (and woman) for themselves.
If you are waiting for The Herd to change their minds and direction, you could get trapped or trampled. IMO the strategy with the best probabilistic outcome, is to take matters in your own hands and do what is best for ==> YOU <== ---whatever that might be. (Rational SELF interest)

@ everyone
ReplyDeleteI dig the fact that you are following the YUGE dumpster fire on COVID management in Australia---a country once considered to be a model of "human dignity, freedom and liberty" despite its shameful history and embarrassing policies like The White Australia Policy. On balance, it used to be, in my nearly 50 years here an AWESOME rocking place.
But those days are gone, and the people are ANGRY, and there is nothing they can do except come out occasionally and "protest" or vent their spleens in nasty ways on blogs, YouTube and social media. The State has ALL the Power, and they will USE IT at their WHIM
Australia is lost, and I cannot wait to get out! I would caution ANYONE who is thinking of coming here as a tourist, or to emigrate or to study. If possible, avoid this hell or come at your own PERIL and EXPENSE. π ☠️ ⚰️
@ Q of H
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those rare people who believe in personal responsibility---i.e. the idea that one is responsible for EVERYTHING which happens in one's life...including the bad luck and the bad stuff caused by other people. They might be "to blame", but one is still responsible for the choice of action going forward.
Let's refer to some math here: If you rely on "hope", then you've assigned yourself to randomness and chaos without any control. It is total disempowerment. If you take action thru your own THINKING and evaluation of the situation, you have better odds of attaining a desired result---no guarantee of course, because probabilities are NOT certainties.
I will agree that "a few good PEOPLE (men and women)" could "save society". Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't and sometimes they end up making things WORSE. Outcomes all exist in ranges of various probabilities.
However, how long is one supposed to wait, to take a patient and passive attitude? HOPE is a lousy strategy. You want results, then take the necessary ACTION toward the goal you choose.
If you wake up one night and your house is burning, you don't wait HOPING the fire brigade gets there in time to save you, your family and the house. You evaluate the situation. You might want to fight the fire, if it is not too serious. You will definitely want to get yourself, the family (and if possible, some valuables) to SAFETY.
If you rely on "hope" instead of "self-interest" in the example I just gave: YOU WILL DIE. Needlessly.

On "Building a 'better system'"
➤ Systems of govt evolve from the govt
➤ The govt evolves out of the nation's politics
➤ Politics is an emergent property from culture (see: complexity theory, chaos, the fractal nature of nature itself)
➤ The culture emerges from complex, inter-temporal relationships...e.g. positive and negative feedback loops which integrate with each other and also work against each other. There are simply too many variables to consider. "Culture" is self-organising. i.e. there's no one "in-charge", despite attempts of manipulation or social engineering.
"Culture" is part of complex mechanisms our genes use to collectively express themselves, so that they have better chances of transmission into the future. i.e. our genes want to "live on".
Every host in every species, and the strategies the hosts create (in every generation of every species) are merely "vehicles" for on-going propagation of GENETIC MATERIAL through TIME and sometimes space (migration).
Good luck trying to control any of that by "designing systems". π» π
Is Singapore Really In A Hopeless Case of 'To Each His Own' Survival State?
ReplyDeleteSome people believe that Singapore is now in a hopeless state and we must, therefore, seek wealth and well-being for ourselves - the selfish individual self. Is this true?
The individuals who hold that belief could have been led to such a mental defeatist attitude by the example of the greedy leaders who are enriching and agrandising themselves, and simultaneously glorifying and empowering their positions no end.
However, there is another belief. The belief that the destiny of a country is based on a higher set of values, instead of the depravity of power and human greed.
All we need is a few GOOD MEN. Don't ever give up hope. Without HOPE, humans would have been destroyed by themselves long ago.
Every life is living because of HOPE. Every living being is living because there is HOPE for change, evolution for the better. Nobody hope for the worst. Not even the coronavirus! It mutates frequently to improve itself.
Do not subscribe to a defeatist attitude. A defeatist mentality is doomed to extinction like the dodo bird of Mauritius. We must never think that Singapore is hopeless and every one should be for himself /herself. We can still come together to build a better Singapore in the near future, if not for ourselves, at least for the sake of our children and their children.
Lee Kuan Yew did it because he had a Few Good Men. With this team, he was able to lead Singapore to where it was 20 years ago (before his son took over), with only 1.6 million people in 1965, mostly uneducated and illiterate, but hardworking and determined.
If Lee Kuan Yew could do it with much less manpower and resources, why can't others? Why can't his successor? His own eldest son?
Ironically, it was he who had planted the seed for Singapore’s decay and decline. He put up a one-man-operation (OMO) System that has to be supported by "Yes-men", with a few decorative peripheral "Yes-women".
This LKY System can only be effective and competent if run by LKY with his team of Few Good Men. Once the Few Good Men had been systematically removed, it also set the clock clicking for Singapore’s eventual decay and decline, which had led Singapore to the pathetic and tragic state it is today.
However, there is still HOPE. Singapore is still not a hopeless case. We can build a new system, a better system than what it is today. Anyone who tell you that the status quo is the way to go, he must be someone with a selfish personal agenda. Don't take him seriously.
As we can see, there are still good and capable people around in Singapore. When the situation has deteriorated to a precarious stage, I am sure those Few Good Men will come out to take on the responsibility to rebuild Singapore again, to build a new System for ALL.
It takes all sorts of people to fill this world. There are people who build new systems. There are people who maintain old systems that still work effectively. There are people who exploit the system and there are people who only know how to destroy the system.
However, the worst type of people are those who continuously and persistently destroy the system but still think highly of themselves that they are running the systems so very well that they deserve to become multi-millionaires overnight for running down the system. These are the scumbags and rubbish bins of a sick society. These people are bound to deteriorate, decay and rot like rubbish in one form or another. These self-enriching people are not what Singaporeans should look up to. These must be discarded like the rubbish we throw into the rubbish chutes everyday. If not, once the rubbish accumulates for too long, it will smell badly, abhorrently stinking!
Once the rubbish is cleared, Singapore will be clean again. That day for a thorough cleaning will come. That day must come, inevitable!
So, Don't Lose HOPE!
Queen of Hearts.
One must take charge of oneself and always hope for the better.
ReplyDeleteAnd
always hope that the Society is free from rogues.

Actually it is quite the opposite. I would say those who hold onto HOPE are totally defeatist, passive, and in states of disempowerment and learned helplessness (see the work of Martin Seligman. It includes objective data resulting from his many experiments)
In order to "keep going" as a self-reliant, self-preserving individual who is totally focussed on their rational/ enlightened self-interest one first must be able to transcend all the "metal detritus", negativity, lack of confidence self talk and NOISE in one's mind. In other words, you have to not only be "positive", but be FULL OF ENERGY to take consistent action to better your situation.
Having laser-focused self interest is exceedingly hard work requiring fitness of mind, physical fitness and strength, and a positive disposition.
No "hope" need be involved. Leave the "hope" to the lottery ticket you might buy when the mood strikes you. Hope is for gamblers.
Hah? Where got MOH say must take jab every 270 day? One time only lah. Only for "the purpose of vaccine-differentiated safe management measures (VDS)" - wah liao chim words.
