Had children to kindergarten and let the Torturers learnt from the Japs and UAss Torturers teached them water boarding.
Wow, little kids made to lie down on floors and water poured into their little mouths.
Did.yhey cover their faces with towels or not?
Not so frightening leh!
Then their Main Gestapos i.e. the Principals just switched off and will said nothing that i know of.
That's
the favorite phase of those who went to the EVIL, oops Civil Service
Course when they were summoned to be grill or investigated.
Even when shown videos of abuses by their own staff will just simply ignored them as nonsense.
Now demanded that no taking of all these abuses to all employed staff so that no one will know of any future abuses.
Why have children and be tortured thus?
That's why now so many singles. Don't be fooled by the Papies to be their slaves.
Lastly,
my childhood friend in the Evil Service told me that in order to have
the numbers that they are been fair to other races besides the Chinese
holding the most top posts, they have to put many of these switched off
incompetence jokers in these positions just for windows dressings and
numbers.
May continued part 2 if you all want.
Cheers
Virgo
Virgo lucky I did not advise my kids to do the A* shit as at that time it was a prestigeous thing to do and get selected. But I have to say only 30% of people are affected and unhappy as the 70% seem to be very happy leh
ReplyDeleteHi Anon
DeleteAt that time they starting the Research Labs and they get all the Science Graduates that hapoened to graduate at that time to join them.
Later, they have the PRCs and Indians and Philip Yeo said Spore Researchers are only FIT to WASH Testtubes.
So after that the chickens lay no eggs and only passed chicken shits they disbanded all the Research Labs.
Actually my daughter spent so many overnights doing the Research for a cure for Type I diabetes with white mices and they tried to have sorts of genes or genomes to find whether they can do sorts of transplants or produce own insulin.
But later, they just simply abandoned the project.
You know what's? With those BIG BIG Pharmaceutical Companies that are earning billions of their suplies of their drugs etc, and also likes of Bum Gates oops Bill Gates that had thrown millions into their investments, any breakthru of any discovery to stop using their drugs or vaccines would be clamped down just like regimes change.
Or simply they will just buy the Researchers off.
What's Hippocrates Oaths?
Only Hypocrites Oaths lah!
No more fundings and our Ho Ho Ho wanted to go into Agricultural Crops Research.
Big ho ha said Sinkieland no Agricultural Industries whats for Agri Research?
More lucrative to have the land for BTO Flats and made billions if NOT trillions what's.
White Paper Sick oops Six millions and main agenda is 10 Millions
Wow how much into the Treasury and we have another Tah Lang Pang Hei SLA to collect the Land Tax and said we lost so much and subsides you peoples billions you know
That's more lucrative.
A* is for foreigners, especially India.
ReplyDeleteI advised my kids decades ago, never try to go for those whatever star, or scholarships and get tied down eventually in jobs they do not like, while serving their bonds.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, my kids knew their limitations, found their niche, and like what they are doing today. My eldest son graduated with a life science (toilet paper) degree, a practically useless piece of paper, suitable probably for a teaching job only, which I realistically advised him to go into, but he went into the insurance sector instead, and by upgrading himself, is now doing reasonably well as a financial adviser. At 42 years with two kids himself, he is still hitting the books to upgrade.
My younger son, a rebellious kid, dropped out of NTU after enrolling in an engineering course, something he later found to his potent dislike. My wife and me were devastated, learning he had dropped out of his course. He landed his first job as a croupier at Resorts World Sentosa, and managed to secure a marketing diploma and a marketing degree, all financed by Resorts World Sentosa, with deep gratitude to his employer by me and my wife. He is still at his job in marketing, now doing relatively well in his position after promotion, after almost 15 years with the Resort. He loved his job and that is what is important.
Both my kids, unlike me, are not rolling stones, and we always advise them that they should do what they love to do, and not just look at the extra monetary rewards just by changing jobs, which they may later dislike.
I was in a different situation though, changing five jobs, facing traumatic situations, just looking for a better reward to cope with cost of living in an evironment of low salaries. My kids are now earning reasonable salaries and do not need to follow my footsteps of job hopping. Moreover, with daughters in laws also working, they are surviving relatively comfortably, besides supporting us monetarily. Every cloud has a silver lining and likewise, every dog has its day.
I always remember the quotation by Will Rogers - 'Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people that they don't like'. And Thomas Jefferson's equally pertinent quote - 'Never spend your money before you earned it.' Watching today's young, I do not know whether Will Rogers or Thomas Jefferson were right or wrong for them to emulate, but certainly right for me to follow.
I earned a pittance in my days compared to today's young, but through thrift and good money management, easily financed and put my two kids through University (although the younger one was disappointing in his dropping out of his engineering course). Looking back, it was more a blessing in disguise, as he is doing probably better monetary wise than some engineers, and in a job that he distinctly loves.
Pity me if you like, I never even own a bicycle, not to talk of a car. Life is a matter of cutting your clothes according to your cloth. Living within your means is one recipe for being happy. Wealth does not equate to happiness. Possession only brings temporary happiness, and there are always subsequent new things coming out that always brings new desires to be fullfilled.
And always remember, we came into this world naked, and will leave equally naked. We can never take what we accumulated in this life along with us. When alive, we can only sleep in one bed as Arsene Wenger said, and can only eat so much, although the filthy rich can eat better food, but not necessarily healthier for their well being.
Well, just looking at the USA, spending more than it earns, but is a shining example of how a wealthy country looks like isn't it? They call it 'deficit spending' whatever that means, but is essentially the same as spending beyond its means. But the USA is in a different world altogether. It can just print money, as much as it likes, to tide over. In the old days they call it a fairy tale of living happily ever after.
ReplyDeleteI just wonder when this 'deficit spending' is going to be over. But I have a feeling it is not going to end well, just like a normal person spending beyond his means. It is just a matter of looking at a bigger bang.
Hi Anon
DeleteHappened to see a YT video of those Top countries with their what's Debts Deficits as corresponding to the GDP.
Thought UAss be the Top but was surprised to hear that Singapore Debts Deficits are more than the UAss by 165% Debts ratio.
UAss below?
Wah Thought UAss already Pok Kai but Sinkieland on top of them.
Will try to locate and post.
Think under Asian Quick Take.
That is why it is sometimes dangerous for Governments to dictate the direction of the economy rather than let supply and demand determine the course of study. Studying Life Science without the means to reach the pinnacle destroyed many young people with shattered dreams.
