I am reposting an email I just received that I think is important enough to be shared here.
Dear Family, I am forwarding this warning from another group, in view of the dubious teacher vacancies in Oman which was posted 2 days back.
Your humanitarian duty requires you to spread this video as widely as possible, it may contribute to the arrest of these perpetrators and the preservation of innocent lives. 'I have no stomach to view the video and so did not include it here. But the message is relevant and very important.'
Some counterfeit agencies from China, Korea, Japan and other parts of Asia have offices in several countries in Africa, Asia and others, such as Nigeria, Ghana and a number of other countries, and coordinate with networks around the world including Dubai, Egypt, Libya and Lebanon, and may also be present in Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia.
These companies provide young people especially young women with various jobs (domestic work, nursery, guards and others) They also prepare travel documents, airline tickets abd all travel arrangements. But when they arrived, the life of the poor young man or woman turns into hell and the end of their lives at the hands of an international gang that brutally kills them to get and sell their internal organs.
The video was secretly recorded by some one and the video says it all.
The life you might save by posting this video may be close to you. Sorry I got no guts to watch the video and did not post it here. You can imagine what it would be like.
Spread the video please to as many people as you can, especially the third world countries. And this is particularly relevant here when Singaporeans are being asked to venture overseas. Their youth, innocence and naivety, not exposed to the dangers of the cruel world outside would make Singaporeans idea target for such heinous and wicked schemes. Singaporeans think the rest of the world are so safe just like Singapore and would never notice anything wrong until it is too late. Damn human traffickers and traders of human organs.
Note the method of striking and killing these poor people in the video. The criminals want the victims to be brain dead only while preserving their organs alive until the traders arrived.
On a personal note I could not watch beyond the body spasms of the teenager's, so I really cant tell how violent the whole video is. I was sick, trembling and in tears. (This part is from the originator of this post).
PS. Whether this is fake news or real, it is better to be safe than sorry. Please advise those young things thinking of adventure, hungry or desperate enough to want to get a job by hook or by crook anywhere. The world out there is full of dangers and wickedness. Beware, beware, beware. I just felt compel to repose this in my blog to get as many people informed as possible.

The lazy Singaporean workers
Singaporeans today are not only unskilled and mismatched and therefore unemployable. They are also choosy and lazy. The warning is written all over the places and spoken by everyone who cares for their own good. Stop being lazy, go for training, go for upgrading courses, go job changing. Job changing is the new musical chair game for Singaporean lazy Singaporean workers and is highly recommended. Don’t be lazy, if you can’t find jobs in Singapore, go job hunting in other third world countries. This one is a bit difficult to swallow. If they cannot find jobs in Singapore, who thinks they could find jobs in other countries when jobs are protected?
Singaporeans who are lazy would lose their jobs to hungry foreigners coming here. This is globalization and there is no need to think of citizenship has its privileges. Citizens or not, your job would not be protected in Singapore and it is open to everyone in the whole wide world. Everyone can come here to steal your jobs. This is uniquely Singapore and is supported by the Singaporeans as seen in the results of the last general election. This is a reflection of their overwhelming support for the govt for such policies.
If you can’t survive here because your job is being stolen, go to other countries to steal their jobs. Hopefully those countries also believe in globalization and allow jobs in their countries to be stolen by Singaporeans. If not, then just too bad. How many countries out there are still preaching this stupid mantra that jobs for citizens need not be protected, and foreigners can happily come in to steal the citizens’ jobs? Off hand I would say none except Singapore.
How many countries out there allow Singaporeans to go and steal their jobs? One thing for sure, those govts would be overthrown if they don’t look after the welfare of their citizens and their jobs. But in Sin City, it is the reverse. The people will continue to vote for the govt with increasing majority even if the govt preaches globalization and hungry foreigners can come in to steal their jobs because Singaporeans are lazy and have no marketable skills.
Singaporeans are so blessed.

Archaic thinkers’ view of modern China
Last Sunday there were two articles about China’s new law to protect overseas Chinese or people of Chinese descent as part of the Chinese Civilisation in the Sunday Times. One piece was written by Cheong Suk Wai as a commentary on Leo Suryadinata’s book, The Rise of China and The Chinese Overseas. Another piece was by another eminent Chinese scholar, Prof Wang Gung Wu related the same topic and the book.
In gist, both professors were looking at the new Chinese law from an archaic and coloured perspective tinted by centuries of a weak China and in a way accepted that the victimization and persecution of overseas Chinese is a faith that overseas Chinese must accept. I will deal with these perceptions later, but let me first look at a few points that I think are rubbish even if coming from eminent professors of Chinese history and civilization. “Leo Suryadinata says: Wow, China is there to protect us immediately’. The ethnic Chinese overseas can be safe only if they know how to protect themselves.”
I call this kind of thinking rubbish primarily because the overseas Chinese cannot protect themselves even if they think they know and can protect themselves. That is why there is a long history of ethnic cleansing in SE Asia and the overseas Chinese were simply helpless, witless, with no ways to avoid being persecuted, being murdered in broad daylight even up to 1998 and last year when the threats of another racial bloodbath was close to become a reality in the Low Yat Incident in kuala Lumpur. And the recent election of the Jakarta governor when Ahok was found unacceptable by some extremist groups and again the threat of shedding Chinese blood was on the card not forgetting the burning of Chinese Indonesian homes in Batam recently. Can the overseas Chinese really know how to protect themselves? Yes, by running away, hiding or begging for mercy and be very grateful if the death would be a few lesser and a few women folks raped.
See how rubbish is this kind of archaic thinking. Even the intervention by the Chinese Ambassador in KL was deemed unfavourably, that he should not say anything. What would this professor think would have happened if the Chinese Ambassador did not step in? The Malaysian Chinese able to avoid another ethnic bloodbath? They know how to protect themselves?
Both professors cautioned against China’s policy of protecting overseas Chinese as a selfish act, to want to have more overseas Chinese to help in the OBOR project and that China’s interest is only there to protect its own interest. Should the interest deviates like the cases of the ethnic cleansing in Indonesia in the Suharto era and during the Pol Pot regime, China would look the other way.
There are some elements of truth in the sense that it would definitely be good if the interest of China and the overseas Chinese coincide. This would make things simpler. The point that China is using the charm offensive to woo overseas Chinese to support the OBOR project is true but not the most important consideration in this policy change. A handful of good overseas Chinese is all that China needs to change its fortune just like the return of Qian Xue Sen and a few of his fellow scientists in the 1950s that changed the fortune of China today. Just like the few rich overseas Chinese in recent times that pumped in capital in the early stages of China’s modernization. They are the ones that contributed greatly to what China is today. And the China of today does not really need much assistance from overseas Chinese to continue on its path to modernization and to be the next economic and military superpower. It already is.
What is this new policy and law of protecting overseas Chinese all about? To Leo Suryadinata, this policy is detrimental to the overseas Chinese as it stokes ‘suspicion and resentment among indigenous peoples of the Chinese in their midst, no thanks to the latter’s enterprise, wealth and economic dominance.’ Leo actually gave the answer for the suspicion and resentment, not due to the new Chinese law. The suspicion and resentment of overseas Chinese, even if they have been in their adopted countries for generations did not go away and would not go away if recent threats of ethnic cleansing are to go by. And this is one of the main reasons for China to make this stand. But this stand did not go against China’s earlier position that the overseas Chinese should be loyal citizens of their new country. That did not change.
China today is no longer a weak and hapless nation, unable to protect its people all over the world. The days when China and the Chinese have to swallow bitter pills and be victims of racial and ethnic discrimination and genocide, and suffered quietly are over. The days when it was natural, and a habit, to attack and kill overseas Chinese are over. China’s new law is about the pride of a civilization, the right to be treated as equals, respectfully as any human beans, that China and the Chinese Civilisation would not be willing and hapless victims of racial and ethnic cleansing. The old thinking that the Chinese should accept their fate of being at the mercy of primitive instinct must be erased from the minds of not only the primitive tribes, but also from the meek and dismissive overseas Chinese thinking. If the overseas Chinese have to say sorry and apologise to the primitive tribes for violating them, raping their women, looting and burning their homes and killing them whenever they feel like doing, then they deserved to be massacred by these tribes.
China does not adopt this law to disrupt or to stoke tension and disloyalties among the overseas Chinese in their new countries. It is only a natural thing, that China is a new superpower and please don’t think you can kill overseas Chinese anytime you like. Other than this, this policy would be just there as a warning to stop the primitive tribes to think they can still kill Chinese at will.
The overseas Chinese should look at this new law positively and not to have wild imaginations or think too highly of themselves that they are so important to China as a fifth column. China is doing the right thing as a superpower, to be able to protect the Chinese Civilisation from persecution and genocide, nothing more, nothing less. China would look real bad if the primitive tribes are out on a rampage to kill overseas Chinese again and it could not do a thing like in the past.
The primitive tribes did not care about the feelings and sensitivities of the Chinese when they were out there doing the raping and killings. Why should the overseas Chinese be so sensitive to their primitive feelings and sensitivities? Now that China is strong and powerful, it is about time the primitive tribes be sensitive to the feelings and sensitivities of China and the Chinese Civilisation. The Chinese Civilisation should be treated equally with mutual respect and regards, no more rapings and killings because they are Chinese. Period. But for those overseas Chinese who think they could look after themselves and want to continue to be sensitive to the feelings of the primitive natives and subject themselves to their mercy, please continue, bend your head low, bend down and be prepared to be screwed, and go about your life quietly, timidly and meekly, and pray they have mercy on you by sparing your lives when they got the itch to kill you. That is your chosen status quo of an era gone by when kicking your ass, raping your women, robbing your possessions, burning your homes and killing you in broad daylight at their whims and fancy, was and can continue to be the norm. You pathetic beans are afraid, very afraid that they would kill you again if you upset them intentionally or unintentionally or on the slightest excuse.
China is not telling the overseas Chinese Civilisation to be rude, to be arrogant, to rebel, to oppose their govt and be a destructive force in their new countries. Just be good and responsible citizens and be left to live your life normally, but if threatened by primitive instinct, there is China looking over their shoulders, that there is a China to tell them to stop their savage acts. Now would the overseas China want that?
I am not going to waste them explaining the stupid assertion that the OBOR is a new tributary system or shades of it of China. Come off it, the OBOR project was painfully and tediously negotiated with every govt on an equal and willing partner basis with each govt looking very carefully at what they stood to gain in this project. Does Leo Suryadinata really believe that the govt of the 60 plus countries are dumb and stupid and did not know what they were doing and were forced by China to participate in the so called new tributary system? If they are, they would be shot by their own people for treason. And Beijing got this project off without consulting the govts of these countries? I quote, “However, it is also true that this was suggested by Beijing, without consulting other countries.” Please do not insult their intelligence and integrity.
Come on, say something more credible. The days of colonialism were over many decades ago when the colonial power used to put a gun over the local chieftains or kings and said sign or else, and they signed. Could China do this to any independent country to sign onto the OBOR project?

South Korea calling the USA bluff
For a few decades since the end of WW2, the Americans have been conning their daft allies that the American military forces and bases are there to protect these daft countries. This myth would have continue and gone unchallenged if Duterte has not become the President of the Philippines. Duterte was the first Asian leader to call the American bluff by telling the Americans to pack up and fuck off. The Americans panicked and begged for the Special Forces to be allowed to stay, presumably to help to fight the Muslim insurgency and the Abu Sayaf. Incidentally the American Special Forces have been in the Philippines for ages and the Muslim insurgency seems to grow in strength despite the presence of the Special Forces, just like the growing power of ISIS in the ME. And rightly Duterte was asking whether the Special Forces were in the Philippines to fight the insurgency or there to breed, arm and train the rebels.
The myth that they were there to help the Philippines was exposed when they refused to leave. Their main purpose is to protect the interest of the American Empire. And rightly Duterte is demanding that the Americans must pay for being allowed to be present in the Philippines.
Then came this greenhorn Donald Trump who really believes that the American military bases overseas are there to protect those countries and started to demand that these countries pay for American protection. Their adamant and persistence to locate the THAAD system in South Korea and Trump's demand for a payment of US$1b have hit the wall. The South Koreans refused to pay and the Americans have to back out and have agreed to pay for the THAAD deployment. Why not, the THAAD systems were there to protect the American Empire, not really to protect the South Koreans. And rightly the South Koreans called the American bluff as they knew that it was the Americans that wanted the THAAD to be in the Korean Peninsula.
The South Koreans should demand that the Americans pay for the privilege to have bases and THAAD deployed on their soil. And more, for risking the destruction of South Korea and the Korean people as they would be primary targets should war breaks out.
Now, who will be next to call the American bluff and refused to pay? Abe has been under pressured by Trump to pay and so is NATO countries. If only these countries tell the Americans to go packing by refusing to pay, Trump and the Americans would be red faces, not wanting to leave and unable to collect a cent. Why don't these countries demand that the Americans pay for the right to have bases in their countries to protect the American Empire and expand their influence and military power?
What about silly Asean countries begging the Americans to stay and willing to pay? Some of these little USAs are so dumb and could not see that they are paying to support the American Empire when it should be the Americans that should be paying for the privilege of having a military presence in the region. As they said, suckers are born everyday and some are willing suckers without knowing why.

MH370 crash site must be in the Atlantic Ocean
10 years after the disappearance of MH370, an aircraft flying to Beijing but was confirmed by the western experts to be heading into the Indian/Antarctic Oceans on the belief or theory that the pilot either had gone mad or was harbouring a suicide agenda and wanting to be buried in the peaceful clear and freezing water of the Antarctic, the latest information confirmed that it is without any further doubt that the aircraft must have crashed in the Atlantic Ocean.
For the past 10 years, the Australians, somehow became the unquestioned experts of this incident, had been misleading, oops, leading the search parties all over the Indian and Antarctic Oceans, combing every nook and corner, from one confirmed site to another but found nothing. Now that billions of dollars have been spent and the whole of the Indian and Antarctic Oceans have been searched and mapped, paid by the search parties’ countries, to a big part to the Australian companies leading the search, the Australians have run out of sea space in the Indian Ocean to be searched. So the latest report came out from another dubious expert suggested, with full authority and scientific data to support, that the MH370 must have crashed in the Atlantic Ocean, somewhere near the Lost City of Atlantis.
The new theory, the two pilots were explorers in search of the Lost City. They flew the aircraft into hyperspace to take a ride from the gulf stream that could carry the aircraft across the African continent without having to burn out all its fuel. The experts are now urging the Malaysian and Chinese companies to foot the bill for a new search expedition in the Atlantic Ocean and also to map the Ocean sea bed for their own interests. Another billion dollar expedition is on the way, paid by the Malaysian and Chinese govts and led by the Australian experts. The year is 2025.
PS. When would this wicked deceit be exposed?

Dirty Harry Harris admitted he ordered Carl Vinson to North Korea
It was reported in the media that Admiral Harry Harris, the Japanese Commander of the American Pacific Command was the one that ordered aircraft carrier Carl Vinson to head towards North Korea. Harris said it was his mistake for giving the wrong order. What Harris did not say was that he was abruptly overruled and had to change course.
The incident was crispy clear that Harris took the opportunity to want to start a war with North Korea. He unilaterally, without authorisation from Washington where the Commander in Chief of all American forces sat, without an order from Donald Trump, he decided to sail Carl Vinson to North Korea. He did not know or was not aware that someone under this Command would quickly inform the White House of his treacherous action which the Americans were wary of and had put in this safeguard, in case he did the darn thing, to stop him on his war path.
The Americans did just that, to stop Harris from dragging the Americans into a war they did not want with China and Russia. The Japanese Harris thought the Americans were that dumb to allow him a free hand to start a war anytime he likes. No way, the Americans read him like a book.
Now Harris has to apologise for this dangerous move that he thought he could get away with, to get the Americans to go to war with China and Russia. The result would be the destruction of America, China more damaging than the sneak attack on Pearl Harbour. The Americans would not be so dumb to allow it to happen against their interests.
After this incident, the Americans would be even more cautious of what this man would do and would watch his every move to make sure no unplanned incident would happen under his watch. America would not be destroyed by another Japanese sneaky act.

Time to tighten immigration policy?
Shawn Lee wrote a piece published in the TRE urging the govt to tighten immigration policy when every sensible govt in the West, especially our idol country called the USA, are doing it. This is what Shawn wrote in his first paragraph,
‘Over the past weeks, Australia, New Zealand and the U.S. have all tightened their work visa programs for skilled foreigners. Australia scrapped its 457 visa for employer-sponsored skilled foreign labour program; U.S. President Trump announced a “Buy American, Hire American” Executive Order to review the H1-B visa which is used primarily to bring in foreign IT professionals into high tech sectors like Silicon Valley; and New Zealand has also started to tighten skilled work visa requirements in a “Kiwis-first approach to immigration”.’
I thought we were thinking in the same wavelength when he said, ‘This is the best time for Singapore to jump onto the bandwagon and tighten our immigration criteria to avoid being singled out and blamed by global MNCs here for cutting their access to cheap foreign labour who compete for jobs with Singaporeans.’
This is the part that I disagree with him. I think this is the best time for the govt to open the legs wider, oops, I mean the door wider to capitalize on the situation when all the fake talented foreigners from the Third World have been locked out and no where to go, they would all come here to help make up the 6.9m population. This type of opportunity does not come often. Now we can pick up all the 'talents' and craps floating around in the high seas. We can pick and choose, just make sure we have a working system to fish out all the fakes and degree mills talents. We don’t need such flotsam. There are already too many here. Now we can take our time to pick and choose with a fine comb.
One caveat, make sure we have the right talent to spot the fake talents. We need the thieves to catch the thieves. Recruit some of the best fake talents first, then use them to stop all the fakes that are trying to get in. Oh, I think we already have a lot of them here furiously recruiting more fakes. Just tell them this time the objective is to identify and reject the fakes or simply reject all the fakes they have chosen as talents.
We can set up a Ministry of Fake Talents and appoint a minister to run it with a pool of fake talents. Then we can guarantee to pick up the best in a situation like this. When the angels are fleeing, it is time for the daft, oops, I mean the brave to go in.
What do you think?
‘Over the past weeks, Australia, New Zealand and the U.S. have all tightened their work visa programs for skilled foreigners. Australia scrapped its 457 visa for employer-sponsored skilled foreign labour program; U.S. President Trump announced a “Buy American, Hire American” Executive Order to review the H1-B visa which is used primarily to bring in foreign IT professionals into high tech sectors like Silicon Valley; and New Zealand has also started to tighten skilled work visa requirements in a “Kiwis-first approach to immigration”.’
I thought we were thinking in the same wavelength when he said, ‘This is the best time for Singapore to jump onto the bandwagon and tighten our immigration criteria to avoid being singled out and blamed by global MNCs here for cutting their access to cheap foreign labour who compete for jobs with Singaporeans.’
This is the part that I disagree with him. I think this is the best time for the govt to open the legs wider, oops, I mean the door wider to capitalize on the situation when all the fake talented foreigners from the Third World have been locked out and no where to go, they would all come here to help make up the 6.9m population. This type of opportunity does not come often. Now we can pick up all the 'talents' and craps floating around in the high seas. We can pick and choose, just make sure we have a working system to fish out all the fakes and degree mills talents. We don’t need such flotsam. There are already too many here. Now we can take our time to pick and choose with a fine comb.

American double speak on North Korea
By now everyone would have read and probably believe this American shit about North Korea being a threat to the whole world, to the Americans and to their cronies and allies. How true is this, how logical or reasonable and believeable is this allegation.
The American’s first assumption, the North Koreans have nuclear weapons and ICBM and will be threatening the world with them. This assumption also said the North Koreans are mad and would want to threaten everyone for no good reason but just because they have nuclear weapons to threaten other nations, and more, to want to fire at every nation. You do not need much intelligence to know that this is total crap. The only countries that feared the North Koreans and felt threatened are the Americans, Japan and South Korea for obvious reasons. The rest of the world is not acting provocatively act against the North Koreans and has no reason to feel threatened unless they are deranged. Oops, sorry, Singapore or some daft Singaporeans also felt threatened but I do not know why. They seriously believed the North Koreans would want to bomb Singapore, for what, why?
In reality, the North Koreans are treating Singapore as a good friend. That is why Jeremy Koh from Channel News Asia is always invited to broadcast about North Korean events. If you are enemy, they would not put you on their invite list.
Ok, let’s look at the validity of this American double speak. For a country to be a threat to the world, to other countries, there are some conditions or factors that must be present.
1. The country must have ambition to dominate or conquer and rule the world, like Germany, Japan and the USA.
2. The country must have superior military strength, not just having a few pieces of nuclear weapons. If you only got one bomb, please you are no threat to any country that has thousands of bombs. Stop believing in this silly myth.
3. The country must be so superior in military power that it can hit any country with no fear of being hit back.
4. Or, if one wants to threaten any country, make sure that no one is powerful enough to turn your country into ashes.
North Korea does not fit into any of the above conditions. How can they be a threat to the world? How can the North Koreans be a threat to the US? They are developing their nuclear weapons exactly because they are afraid of the Americans, that could turn them to ashes, the only country that has been threatening them daily with military invasion.
If mere possession of nuclear weapons is a threat to the world, the Americans would be the number one threat followed by the other nuclear powers. Why is it that they are not and the North Koreans are a threat?
Do the North Koreans have the same wild ambition like the Americans, the Germans and Japanese to conquer the world? Only fools would believe the North Koreans are like the Americans, Germans and Japanese. Even if they harbor such wild dreams, they are too small to make it a reality in this new world of super powers.
The Americans are the real threat to the world, the threat to world peace, the number one warmonger. If you don’t believe in them, don’t fear them, they would threaten to attack your country like they are doing to the North Koreans and had done to Vietnam and to many Arab/Muslim countries.
Get it, now who is the real threat to the countries of the world, the Americans or North Koreans? Trump just admitted that he is not branding China a currency manipulator because China is working with the Americans on the North Korean issue. If China refuses, it will brand China as a currency manipulator. See the veil of threat? The Americans are threatening the whole world to get to their side to condemn the North Koreans and are threatening to take unilateral actions against the North Koreans because the North Koreans are developing ICBMs that can reach the USA. What about the USA already having ICBMs that can reach North Korea and every country in this world? Should this be a reason for the rest of the world to claim the USA is a threat to their security and be a good reason to attack the USA?
This is how abusive and unreasonable the Americans have become. They are going to start a war and accusing the North Koreans as the provocateur, for having ICBMs or going to have ICBMs that can reach the USA. If this is an acceptable reason, every country can become a threat to the Americans and be attacked while the Americans is a threat to every country.

Would Halimah Yacob be accepted as a Malay candidate for the EP?
TRE’s editorial article said Halimah’s father was an Indian Muslim. This is a quote from the article,
ST report: Halimah’s father an Indian Muslim
‘In 2013, when Halimah Yacob was selected to be the new Speaker of Parliament after the former one, Michael Palmer, resigned from politics due to his marital affair with a PA woman, ST wrote an article to feature Halimah (‘A strong advocate for workers, women and minorities‘, Jan 2013):
In the article, it was revealed that her father is an Indian of Muslim faith. He passed away when Halimah was 8 years old. She studied hard and later graduated with a law degree from NUS. Her first job was as a legal officer with NTUC….’
This revelation would pose a lot of serious questions as to Halimah Yacob’s eligibility as a Malay candidate for the EP election. The question on the definition of being a Malay would now be in the spot light. What or who is a Malay and who should determine or qualify a person as a Malay, the Malay community, the govt or the AGC office or the EP election committee? This seems easy enough by picking up one of these agencies or whichever agency that is suitable. The difficult part is whether the Malay community would accept any candidate or any agency to speak on their behalf on such a serious issue.
Accepting Halimah as a Malay would in itself create more difficult problems in the future. If a candidate of mixed parentage like Halimah, an Indian Muslim father can be accepted as a Malay candidate, would a Chinese Muslim father, a European or Eurasian Muslim father also qualified under this ruling to be called a Malay? How far would the Malay community go to accept a person as a Malay now that there are 50% Malay, 25% Malay, 75% Malay and many other variations of Malayness?
My personal view is that the worm in the can is growing too big to be of any comfort to the govt or to the Malay community. How to resolve this Pandora of the EP would need more than a rocket scientist or a genius to do it. In the days of LKY, he might be able to talk his way out of it without anyone daring to stand up to challenge his view or decision. Unfortunately no one in the govt today has such an authoritative stature to pull out a rabbit from a top hat and call it a dove.
It would be interesting to see how the govt is going to untie this knot if Halimah is put up as a Malay candidate, or any candidate with such a similar birth right. Anyone thinks this is easy to resolve and put right?

4 JCs to be merged, ie disappeared, redundant
Many people are aghast at the merging of 4 JCs all of a sudden. Many are still in a state of shock with mouths still unable to close, jaws locked, muscle cramped. How could this kind of things happen in this so well planned little city when every piece of stone, every single plant is carefully planted after very well conceived thoughts by our very able and proactive govt that is always looking ahead for problems?
To make things more bizarre is the opening of Enoia (not sure if I get the spelling right) JC just a year ago and now closed shop. Anyone worry about the money wasted? We are not talking of closing of one JC but 4 JCs. Did anyone see this coming? Why, suddenly Rip Van Winkle woke up and found that there is not enough enrolment for JC classes and 4 JCs are redundant, with excess capacity that may turn out to look like ghost colleges, JCs without students?
When the MOE was split to be helmed by two full ministers, everyone would not be wrong to think that this education job is expanding, growing so big and one minister would not be able to cope with the workload. How is this closing of 4 JCs related to the need for two ministers in MOE? If there are not enough students for JCs, would it also mean that more secondary and primary schools would also be facing the same problem and more would also have to be closed or merged? Read somewhere that 28 secondary schools would also be merged.
What happened to all the students that are supposed to fill up the JC places and also the primary and secondary schools? They did not build all these schools without planning, without knowing how many students are coming on board. Did the students disappear overnight like MH370? How can, the Population Dept and MOE must have been tracking the numbers and know exactly how many students were there and how many schools and JCs would be needed. Why like dat one?
I thought about this problem very seriously and came out with a few possible answers. I am not going to blame on twits that could not plan or did not know what was happening and how many students were there that need to go to school but the twits did not know. My first thought is that the thousands of scholarships to foreign students, paid by our tax payers in the billions, must have been frozen. This could be a possibility and could explain why suddenly there is no student or not enough students overnight. Overseas students can come in or not come in like turning on/off a tap.
Another possible answer, many are going to India to have their education to make sure that they could get a decent job here after graduating from the Indian universities. Why not, all the talents here are from India and Indian universities, the professionals, the academics, the IT experts and what nots, are all from India. Their education system is world best, proven and endorsed by Singapore. So many students must have jumped ship and enrolled in Indian JCs and subsequently planning to go on to Indian universities.
Another possible reason, many may have taken the advice of our ministers that there is no need for a good degree that cannot be eaten. What is the point of a degree when one aspires to be a taxi driver or a hawker? So the parents and students are now wiser and stopped enrolling into JCs here and waste precious money or forcing their parents to sell their homes to finance their education abroad.
Maybe there are other reasons for the sudden disappearance of JC students, but these are the dumb reasons that I am able to think of for this fiasco or shall I call it miracle, another planned miracle that is uniquely Singapore? Is it so difficult to know how many students are out there that need places in schools and JCs? Would big data help?

Mike Pence rounding up another Coalition of the Willing or Unwilling?
Mike Pence had visited South Korea, Japan, Indonesia and probably would be seeing some Asean countries on his get to know Asia trip. Is there more than just this that he was on a mission to garner support to attack North Korea? So far he has been threatening North Korea daily, that all options are on the table, the sword is ready etc etc, don’t threaten the US or don’t trifle with Trump. North Korea threatening or trifling with the USA and Trump, or it is the other way round? Who is sailing the biggest armada to the Korean Peninsula?
An AFP report said, ‘The United States will counter any North Korean attack with an “overwhelming and effective” response, Vice President Mike Pence vowed yesterday, as he stood on the deck of a massive American aircraft carrier docked in Japan.’ Are the North Koreans so stupid, going to attack the Americans? Or were the North Koreans forced to respond to an American attack or American provocation? “North Korea is the most dangerous and urgent threat to peace and security in the Asia Pacific,” said Pence. Or is it the other way, that the Americans are the most dangerous and urgent threat to peace and security in the Asia Pacific and the whole world?
Would any stupid Asean country want to join the American coalition to attack another Asian country that has caused no problem to them but just testing its own defensive weapon system? Or would any silly Asian country think it is good to be on the good book of the Americans and eagerly asking to be a party to this massive genocide that the Americans are planning against North Korea that has nothing to do with them?
Please Mike Pence, please skip Singapore from your trip. Do not visit Singapore. Singapore has done enough, more than enough in the Middle East.

Wars of Aggression and US Savage Culture
America has been attacking and invading other countries since its independence in 1775. During the 242 years of its existence it has fought not less than 230 wars of aggression against others. These wars of aggression have everything to do with US savage culture and psyche of militant religious doctrines. Below in tabulated form are some of the wars fought by America.

4. From 1865 to 1890s US carried out the most brutal and wanton wars of aggression against the native American Indians. It was the beginning of US long era of colonial wars against native American states and others. These were wars of USW expansion in which native Americans were forced to give up their lands to US. The Massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890 was the last native outpost to surrender.

Asset enhancement - a uniquely Singapore miracle
Singaporeans are so blessed with a very clever govt that could devise such a miraculous scheme call asset enhancement. The scheme revolves around the buying of 99 year lease public flats built by the govt at relatively low price and the owner could eventually sell it at a hugely inflated price, to receive an expected windfall along the way. It is a sure win formula and many Singaporeans are now very wealthy landlord in a way, sitting on a public flat that is worth at least $300k for the smallest unit in the open market and some worth more than a million for the bigger units. As in all sure win schemes, there is a caveat of course.
Here is how the price sure go up scheme works.
Year 1 - Buy a public flat from the govt, say at $250k.
Year 5 - Eligible to sell in the open market at asking price of $350k.
Year 10 - Open market price could be $450k.
Year 20 - Open market price could be $550k
Year 30 - Open market price goes higher to $650k.
Year 40 - $750k!
Year 60 - $800k!
Year 80 - $850k!
Year 90 - $850!
Year 100 - $0!
Every flat owner could look at this guide to see the price of his flat could go up and up all the years. Notice the caveat, make sure they are not holding on to the flat at year 100.
The scheme is very favourable to those who sell the flats at a profit in the first 50 to 60 years. Singaporeans could go for a second bite of the cherry to buy another public flat from the govt to restart the cycle. Foreigners could only buy from the open market so the margin of profit cannot be as high as the Singaporeans buying direct from the govt. But they are still guaranteed of a reasonable profit.
For those new citizens who bought and sold and bought again and sold to return to their original country, this scheme is highly favourable to them as they would not hold on to the flat till year 100. I might say a bit sorry for those who have to hold on to their flats till the very end, its miraculous price would miraculously become 0, no value, just like Cinderella when the clock struck midnight and everything turned into smokes..
This is quite like the magician turning a piece of paper into money only for the money to be turned into worthless paper at the end of the game. Be clever to cash out when you can or your store of value will vanish into thin air.

Cynical Investor laughing at Amos Yee
This is what Cynical Investor wrote in his piece, ‘Black Saturday: a great day to laugh at Amos’ stupidity’.
‘Today is Black Saturday or Holy Saturday, a really sad day in the Church calender because Jesus died on Good Friday and was entombed on Saturday and his followers at the time didn’t know that he would be resurrected tomorrow, Easter.
So it’s a great day to sneer and laugh at Amos because by the end of today US time, Amos would have spent 124 days in jail in the land of the free, where the buffalo roam.
Add that to his jail time of 50 days here, he would have spent 174 days in custody.
What a born loser.’
I would not dispute with Cynical Investor on the things he said about Amos Yee being locked up for 174 days. Those were indisputable facts. Whether Amos is a born loser is hard to say as, just like Jesus, Jesus was hung for committing no crime and did he ended up as a loser?
The Christians would definitely said Jesus was and is a big winner, with hundreds of millions of believers today. So being wronged for a time does not mean that the wrong cannot be put right. One day Amos may rise again and many would believe in him though many today did not believe him, just like the Jesus' disciples and followers at that time did not believe he would rise again. I did not say this, I just quoted what Cynical Investor said, ‘and his followers at the time didn’t know that he would be resurrected tomorrow, Easter.’
Some want to split hair with me by saying that Cynical Investor did not say they did not believe in what Jesus said but just ‘didn’t know’. Didn’t Jesus tell them but also told them in public, that he would rise again? No? How come even the non believers then knew about this but his fellow disciples and believers did not? If Jesus did tell them, how could they claim not to know as what Cynical Investor said? Are they deaf, dumb or simply did not want to believe in what Jesus said?
This is funny stuff. Jesus’ disciple’s did not believe him or did not know what he said. It is funnier that his believers today still did not believe in a lot of things Jesus said. Jesus said he ‘was sent only for the lost sheep of Israel’. How many of his believers believe him or did not believe him? Jesus said that on Judgement Day he shall come and judge, and some will go to heaven, some will be burn in the sea of fire. How many of the believers believe in Judgement Day, that Jesus would come down to judge them and only then the righteous or those judged by Jesus could go to heaven? How many of the believers did not believe in this and claimed that they can go to heaven before Judgement Day, before Jesus judge them?
Who are the born losers, those who believe in what Jesus said or those who don’t believe in what Jesus said?

End of brinkmanship
The Americans are still screaming their heads off over North Korea. Mike Pence arrogantly said American’s policy of strategic patience is over. Trump said the biggest armada is sailing towards North Korea while Tillerson and Matthis were blowing their own horns at North Korea and also Iran.
The Americans are ratcheting up for war with North Korea and now it seems that they are also going after Iran. Fooling around and kicking Arab and Muslim asses when they have no nuclear power and unable to hit back is one thing, trying to kick asses with nuclear powers like Iran and North Korea requires more deep and careful thoughts. There is no room for mistakes or miscalculation. The Americans cannot afford it, cannot afford nuclear weapons landing on American cities.
Threatening Iran and North Korea is not a game for fools. Both countries are watching the Americans every move and a wrong reading could see them pulling the trigger in a no choice situation. The Americans have to be very very careful not to give the wrong signal or push them into a corner when they would just slam back at the Americans.
Despite all the hot air, it is apparent that the Americans too are getting cold feet. For Carl Vinson to be turning away from the Korean Peninsula there must be a good reason for so doing. In a Reuter report it said that the order to sail Carl Vinson to North Korea was by a Japanese Commander, Harry Harris. Putting Harris staring down at Kim Jung Un is the most dangerous scenario for the Americans, with Harris a sure cock to push the button at the slightest excuse while Kim Jung Un is still an unknown element. Kim is still new and could be just as hasty to push the button at the slightest news of Americans firing off their cruise missiles.
With these two facing each other, the risk of a miscalculation is exceptionally high. Maybe this is the real reason why Washington overturned Harris order for Carl Vinson to head to North Korea but ordered to sail to the Indian Ocean. There cannot be any wrong move and as much as the Americans could not trust Kim, they equally could not trust the trigger happy Japanese Harris in Command, with Pearl Harbour and Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the back of his mind.
Sensible heads must have ruled the day. In a critical time like this, cool heads and wisdom must prevail to avoid a war by mistakes, miscalculation, or by other motives. Yes there will be no winner in a nuclear exchange. Kim at this moment must be just as highly energized and edgy and could push the button. This must be very worrying time for the Americans.
Perhaps it is better that the two sides sit down quickly to develop a protocol similar to the CUES adopted by China and the US to minimize a war by accident. The Americans and the North Koreans must sit down to work things out as not doing so would be hazardous and unacceptable. Both sides need to wind down and work out some confidence building measures to lower the tension and avoid an accidental nuclear war. War is not an option for both sides as nuclear weapons could fly over the skies at the slightest misjudgement and there will be no turning back the clock. Both sides must be worrying themselves sick that an accident must not happen that would lead to immeasurable destruction on both sides.
No more ratcheting for wars, no more mind games, just simply sit down to work things out. The Americans in their desperation to keep painting the North Koreans as bad, as enemy, forgot that there is such a thing called confidence building measures to keep both sides sane and not too hasty to push the button. It is time the Americans rethink their hostile policies towards North Korea, to engage North Korea like they engaged China and lower tension and move away from the brink of total war.
For the sake of the American people, the Japanese and the South Koreans, the Americans must accept the new reality and make peace with North Korea instead of shouting for war. The Americans cannot win and will suffer untold damages and destruction in this war, if it ever happens.
Americans should read this to have an idea what they are meddling with:
By Ju-min Park
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean state media warned the United States of a "super-mighty preemptive strike" after U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the United States was looking at ways to bring pressure to bear on North Korea over its nuclear programme.
U.S. President Donald Trump has taken a hard line with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who has rebuffed admonitions from sole major ally China and proceeded with nuclear and missile programmes in defiance of U.N. Security Council sanctions.
The Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party, did not mince its words.
"In the case of our super-mighty preemptive strike being launched, it will completely and immediately wipe out not only U.S. imperialists' invasion forces in South Korea and its surrounding areas but the U.S. mainland and reduce them to ashes," it said.
Reclusive North Korea regularly threatens to destroy Japan, South Korea and the United States and has shown no let-up in its belligerence after a failed missile test on Sunday, a day after putting on a huge display of missiles at a parade in Pyongyang.
"We're reviewing all the status of North Korea, both in terms of state sponsorship of terrorism as well as the other ways in which we can bring pressure on the regime in Pyongyang to re-engage with us, but re-engage with us on a different footing than past talks have been held," Tillerson told reporters in Washington on Wednesday.
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, on a tour of Asian allies, has said repeatedly an "era of strategic patience" with North Korea is over.

What’s wrong being a Communist?
Today I can ask such a question without fear of being taken away in the middle of the night and locked up forever without trial. There was a time when talking about Communism and saying things good about Communism could end a person being branded as a communist and never see daylight thereafter.
I just read Teo Soh Lung’s post in the TRE about her arrest with 21 others in 1987, accused of being communists. And she wrote this,
‘Today I categorically deny again that I was a communist in 1987. I deny that I was ever involved in any communist network. I invite the government to prove its case against me or charge me in court if they so wish. I know it will never convene a truth and reconciliation commission to investigate the gross injustice done to those arrested.
What laws do the government need to fight fake news? It should put its house in order before it enacts more laws to blind and gag the people of Singapore.’
This prompts me to ask this question, what is wrong being a communist? Trump had dinner with Xi Jinping, the President of Communist China, so must also be a communist. Xi Jinping and his wife were invited to spend a few days in Buckingham Palace too and welcomed all over the world. The communists from China and Russia are every where as tourists, businessmen, professionals, students and whatever. There can’t be anything wrong with being a communist right?
But in those dark days of our history, associating with Communism, reading communist literature, being a communist, was like becoming a member of Satan, more frightening than being the enemy of the state. Communism is only a political ideology, an ideology of a perfect state, an utopia, where everyone is equal and live in prosperity like paradise on earth. The problems of Communism then were its militant methodology to achieve political power by force. Then Communism advocated the end justified the means and the violent overthrow of existing govts. Communism was associated with violent means.
Today, many western countries have communist parties operating legitimately as another alternative party. Would someone calling himself a communist today in Singapore be arrested? I am afraid I don’t know what is the official stand on this, because the daft could not move with the changing time and could not adapt to the new reality that Communism has in a way abandoned the violent overthrow of govts. It is western democratic capitalist countries that are using force and violence to overthrow govts, conduct wars and regime change. This is not funny.
This is also the reason why Teo Soh Lung is vehemently disclaiming that she was a communist. Is it important if she was or was not a communist then? Ah, yes and no. Yes because she is making the point that she and her group were not communists but arrested and accused of being communists, for being communists then was a crime or anti state. No, not relevant today because I think one cannot be arrested just because he is a communist, or else all the Chinese from China would not be allowed entry here. I stand corrected on this. There is no official statement on this point yet. A foreign communist is allowed here, but not sure a Singaporean can be a member of a communist party today.
Can one be a communist and would not be arrested here, and be allowed to live just like everyone else? Can one form a communist party and contest in the general election? Has the govt grew up and accept Communism as another political ideology and a communist party is acceptable here as long as it does not preach violence or using force to gain political power?
I don’t think anyone has addressed this issue or say anything for or against it. It looks like Communism is still taboo here though many are doing business with the communists, wining and dining, making deals and even jumping into bed with the communists.

Model answers for writing CVs
This is another sad case of a PMET unable to find job in his beloved country that he pledged to protect with his life and offered the best part of his life doing National Service to be paid pittance and to lose out in job opportunities and working experience. There are many such cases that are so desperate, no one to turn to and Gilbert was the last place to let go their frustration.
‘PMET jobless for 18 months and feeling frustrated at CECA arrangement - Dear Gilbert, as I read this, it reminds me of my own situation. I was hired into the company with the bosses promising me a career change. …
Maybe I should set up an agency to help these people with model answers in writing CVs for job applications. Singaporeans have gone through a school system that is fundamentally based on model answers. No thinking required, just game the system by reproducing model answers from model past questions. So selling model answer CVs could be a good business to the daft Singaporeans. Oops, not sure who is daft, the people willing to buy model answer CVs or me, thinking that a model CV could get them a job, never mind if they have or did not have the skills for the job. A good CV to land a job?
This last part is also questionable. How many businesses hiring foreigners here hired them for their skills, qualifications or their CVs? How many out there were employed by submitting faked degree mill degrees or model answer CVs with doctored or false working experience and skills?
What is real? How and why the foreigners are employed by the busloads and not Singaporeans. Let me remind you people reading this, to notice that I have been repeating the word ‘Singaporeans’ here many many times. You don’t read ‘Singaporeans’ anywhere else on such matters except here, I think. Other places and media would use terms like locals, residents without giving a clue whether they meant Singaporeans, PRs or residents.
Ok, back to this thing, how are so many foreigners finding jobs here so easily but Singaporeans are finding it so difficult? Is it just a matter of CVs, fake qualifications or something else and what is this something else? I can write beautiful CVs for sale, but I cannot guarantee anyone getting a job for it because of this ‘something else’ that ended with foreigners being hired and not Singaporeans. If you open your eyes and look around, many companies, including GLCs are flooded with foreigners who don’t look anything talented at all. Just take a walk around Raffles Place and MBFC and you will see hordes of so called foreign talents working happily here. I must state it clearly here that I did not sell my model answer CVs to them to get the jobs. Most of them got their jobs through something else.
Still guessing what is this something else? Some may call it the X factor. I also dunno, but those who know would not tell you and keep hiring the foreigners over Singaporeans with their version of model answer CVs and degrees that have everything the employers want.
I think only daft Singaporeans would buy my CVs and still go jobless, not even call up for interviews after sending out 100, 200 or 500 application letters because the hirers can smell if the application letters are from Singaporeans or from foreigners. More than half a million successful foreigners are hired in this City called Singapore.
Dunno to laugh or to cry. Why did I say this? Because it depends on who you are, a foreigner or a Singaporean. If you are a foreigner you will be very happy and laughing. If you are a Singaporean, like those writing to Gilbert Goh, you will be crying until no tears left.

When would the Evil Empire stop threatening other countries?
The Americans are threatening the North Koreans of a pre emptive strike in the name of peace. What horse shit! There is peace in North East Asia now and for many years. The Americans are threatening war and going to start a war that they called it to maintain peace. How many silly buggers believe in this shit?
Wherever the Americans are present, there is war. They just attacked Syria and dropped the biggest non nuclear bomb in Afghanistan. They are conducting wars everywhere and so many nitwits are saying the Americans are peaceful people, maintaining peace, the world’s policeman. How silly can people be when the devil is walking around not only threatening peace but starting wars and conducting wars. And the North Koreans are to be blamed?
Mike Pence is bragging and boasting about how powerful the American war machine and weapons are. Don’t test Trump, for he would bomb the daylight out of you. This is America, the Evil Empire. We will use our military strength to whack any country that dares to defy us and not listen to us. We have threatened Russia, China and now this naughty North Korea.
All options are on the table, meaning the Americans would attack the North Koreans when they deemed fit. We will work with our allies, for war, but Pence said for peace. Who is the warmonger? Who is the provocative bastard who is going to start a war? North Koreans?
Come on, use your blain, if you got one. Use it before it becomes useless, unable to think. Adam ate the fruit of wisdom to know what is right and wrong. Don’t waste this gift to be able to think. The Americans are at war in all corners of the globe. Open your eyes and see. None is too blind than those who have eyes but not see.
This was what the Americans did to North Korea during the Korean War that resulted with famines for several decades. Article written by Mike Whitney and posted in The 4th Dimension. http://www.4thmedia.org/2017/04/the-problem-is-washington-not-north-korea/#.WPWjy9UMZ_U.gmail
“In the early 1950s, during the Korean War, the US dropped more bombs on North Korea than it had dropped in the entire Pacific theater during World War II. This carpet bombing, which included 32,000 tons of napalm, often deliberately targeted civilian as well as military targets, devastating the country far beyond what was necessary to fight the war. Whole cities were destroyed, with many thousands of innocent civilians killed and many more left homeless and hungry….”
According to US journalist Blaine Harden: “Over a period of three years or so, we killed off — what — 20 percent of the population,” Air Force Gen. Curtis LeMay, head of the Strategic Air Command during the Korean War, told the Office of Air Force History in 1984. Dean Rusk, a supporter of the war and later secretary of state, said the United States bombed “everything that moved in North Korea, every brick standing on top of another.” After running low on urban targets, U.S. bombers destroyed hydroelectric and irrigation dams in the later stages of the war, flooding farmland and destroying crops……
“On January 3 at 10:30 AM an armada of 82 flying fortresses loosed their death-dealing load on the city of Pyongyang …Hundreds of tons of bombs and incendiary compound were simultaneously dropped throughout the city, causing annihilating fires, the transatlantic barbarians bombed the city with delayed-action high-explosive bombs which exploded at intervals for a whole day making it impossible for the people to come out onto the streets. The entire city has now been burning, enveloped in flames, for two days. By the second day, 7,812 civilians houses had been burnt down.
The Americans were well aware that there were no military targets left in Pyongyang… The number of inhabitants of Pyongyang killed by bomb splinters, burnt alive and suffocated by smoke is incalculable…Some 50,000 inhabitants remain in the city which before the war had a population of 500,000.” (“Americans have forgotten what we did to North Korea“, Vox World)
The United States killed over 2 million people in a country that posed no threat to US national security. Like Vietnam, the Korean War was just another muscle-flexing exercise the US periodically engages in whenever it gets bored or needs some far-flung location to try out its new weapons systems….
Wherever the Americans are present, there is war. They just attacked Syria and dropped the biggest non nuclear bomb in Afghanistan. They are conducting wars everywhere and so many nitwits are saying the Americans are peaceful people, maintaining peace, the world’s policeman. How silly can people be when the devil is walking around not only threatening peace but starting wars and conducting wars. And the North Koreans are to be blamed?
Mike Pence is bragging and boasting about how powerful the American war machine and weapons are. Don’t test Trump, for he would bomb the daylight out of you. This is America, the Evil Empire. We will use our military strength to whack any country that dares to defy us and not listen to us. We have threatened Russia, China and now this naughty North Korea.
All options are on the table, meaning the Americans would attack the North Koreans when they deemed fit. We will work with our allies, for war, but Pence said for peace. Who is the warmonger? Who is the provocative bastard who is going to start a war? North Koreans?
Come on, use your blain, if you got one. Use it before it becomes useless, unable to think. Adam ate the fruit of wisdom to know what is right and wrong. Don’t waste this gift to be able to think. The Americans are at war in all corners of the globe. Open your eyes and see. None is too blind than those who have eyes but not see.

Othman Wok – The man could have been a president
Othman Wok passed away peacefully and gracefully yesterday. The govt has ordered the state flag to be flown at half mast for this stalwart of an era we cherished dearly all because of these great men and women of that time. He was also honoured with a ‘state assisted’ funeral.
This charming man walked the pages of our pioneering history with pride and grace, doing the right things for the people and nation. It was a pity he was not nominated to be a president in the prime of his life. He would definitely make a good president and a people’s president given his character and temperament. Well we missed this chance to have Othman Wok in the Istana.
For missing this great opportunity, we are now caught in a bind with the PE thing. So unnecessary and so avoidable and could become very nasty in the future knowing how race and religion can be played up in politics.

The new paradise in Sin
In a way Singaporeans are like Adam and Eve living in paradise, in the Garden of Eden. In that Garden Adam and Eve lived a life of blissful abundance, without a care, as God was there to protect them from all evil and harm. God was so confident that he would take very good care of them that he even forbade them from eating the fruits from the Tree of Wisdom. For once taken, they would know right from wrong, like putting on a fig leaf and would be able to make decisions, just like God. God did not want that. God, being the consummate caring father, wanted to take very good care of them, from cradle to grave. Adam and Eve should remain like innocent children, never grow up.
God did not even tell them of the evil or devil lurking in the corner. Yes, there was evil in the Garden of Eden in the form of a snake. Why God did not tell Adam and Eve about the devil was puzzling. Why God did not caution them, warn them to be careful of the snake, was even more puzzling.
The Singaporeans are just as innocent, some called it naïve, to think that God would take care of everything and life would be a bliss. No harm would come to them as long as they remain innocent and unthinking. God is around to protect them. But when the snakes flooded the City, in this case brought in by the Gods, the Singaporeans were at a loss. They did not know what is happening or what could happen to them. They did not know the snakes are dangerous, just like Adam and Eve.
They lost their jobs to the snakes, their children’s university places to the snakes without knowing why. They would not know why, they did not want to know why, for they were not able to think, a skill that God forbids. They did not know that if things go on as it is, they would lose their country, their paradise, to the snakes in a matter of time. They are still just as happy and innocent as Adam and Eve, oblivious of the dreadful fate awaiting them when the snakes take over their country.
When would the snakes offer them the fruit of wisdom to know what is happening to them, to their lives and their country? They don’t even know that the money they saved for a life time is no longer their money. Someone said so in Parliament. Oh, this time the snakes would not offer them the fruit of wisdom to know what is happening. The snakes are too clever and would wait to take over their country and everything from the modern day Adam and Eve in the Garden of Sin. Actually not to worry, God will take care of everything.
Please, someone please offer the fruit of wisdom to the daft Singaporeans.
