Inside a banana - A banana has no head

I can't say inside a banana's head since a banana does not have a head. It is just yellow skin outside, peels it, and you get a thin layer of fake white. Scrap it and it is all yellow inside. You cannot find a head in a banana, so no thinking.

In the 70s, the bananas were very proud of the social and economic situation in the little red dot. Every young men earning a few hundred dollars a month could buy and own a car. And with that small pay, they could even buy a HDB flat, 4 rms and 5rms. And they were very proud of the MRT, the first rapid transport system in Asia, except for Japan.

Today, the mode of moving the masses quickly in the city is still the same old MRT system, travelling at a high speed of 25kph or 30kph. And when it is raining, the speed has to be reduced to maybe 20kph or less for safety reasons. And the bananas are still very proud of this 70s rapid train system. 

A few years back, when the system was facing daily breakdowns and turning it into a nightmare for the commuters, some ageing trains had to be changed. When the bananas heard that the train cars were from China, there were immediate criticism and condemnation, that Chinese train cars were of inferior quality, unreliable, not good enough for our world class 70s train system. They were angry that the operators bought the train cars from China, a country that they despised and scorned upon since the 1970s when China was still a very poor and underdeveloped country. China then still ran train systems from WW2, its people moved around on bicycles, living in ancient dilapidated homes.

Never mind that the Chinese high speed and bullet trains are now the best and fastest in the whole world, the envy of the world and a must have item in a new cosmopolitan state. Never mind that the Chinese trains are running all over the world at speeds of above 300kph or more, 380kph, 400kph and higher. To the bananas, the Chinese trains are trash, worse than the MRT trains here, the pride of the bananas.

Never mind that the bananas, especially the young ones are unable to buy a small car, unless they are the children of the old rich or children of ministers. Never mind that they are now unable to buy a 4rm or 5rm HDB flat built like Lego while the young Chinese are buying much more sophisticated govt built flats. To the bananas, the Lego flats are the best looking flats than those in China.

Never mind that the only sophisticated gadget the bananas are using is the mobile phone when the Chinese are using 5Gs, quantum chips, living in space stations. Many bananas are still talking about teaching the Chinese how to build smart cities when the Chinese are building the most advanced warplanes, aircraft carriers, submarines, rockets to the moon and to Mars.

In the fantasy world of the bananas, the bananas are the best, only second to the West, their forever grand papa. The bananas are still living in the 1970s when everything was so great but unable to crawl out from their cocoons to see the real world of science and technology from a new China that is outstripping the best in the West.

By the way, the trains that the bananas are riding today, and running smoothly, though not at 300kph, are probably all made in China. And the EVs that the bananas are going to buy in the future would all be Made In China. And all the advanced chips, quantum chips and 6G mobile phones and equipment would be Made In China.

"Made in China" has become the best of the best in this World now! That's going to stay for the next 100 years, at least.

When the bananas talk, they are actually talking to and among themselves, nobody else. So, just lean back and listen with one ear open and the other ear goes out. Not to worry about what the bananas say.

Now Sinkieland bananas are been so brain dead that instead of driving cars that even ok those 70s ones are riding bicycles like China of Old when they were improvised.

Yet, they are so proud of them with the Elites building what's shared lanes that injured or even killed some old folks.

Building what's parks connectors so that you bananas dafts will praised us and kept riding on them.

Also now so many delivery food and parcels delivery staff are riding their iron horses with so much gustos.

Whilst their own Elites and their also favoured Elites drove in air-conditioning conforts.

Also same time drummed until another brains dead to live even in sorts of prison cells two roomed Pigeon holes whereas their own stayed in big posh bungalows at Ridout Road.

They can say oh they bid at market rates with no inside info.

Daft Daft sinkies ca boasted wah last time Chinamen came and learn from us how to build HDB bland all same same design Lego Flats.

They came to see how smart or stupid you bananas are.

My HDB Construction friend even told me that was in the 70s that the Chinamen can straightaway tell you the answers to any mathematical calculations without calculators and just thru their brains powers.

Want to teach them to build Pigeon holes?

Even Matland low-cost housings apartments better designed that our own Pigeon holes.

Most with balconies and ours now two rows facing each other in a dark dungeon path that leads to the end of the last flats.

Don't believe go to Bukit Batok West Plains.

Just like those in Jalan Kukoh those 60s one no room flats.

What's sorts of improvements we have to sell them at 100k minimum.

Prices must increased with incomes increased?

What's a joke!

A guy earning 100k must pay a two roomed Pigeon hole at 0ne million? Because he is earning 100k a month?

The cost of that 2 roomed Pigeon hole is only 10k so he must pay one million for it?

What's about those who earned 500$?

Just pay 50 cents can?
