Wildlife molested 6 young girls at Hougang Swimming Complex



An Indian national Job Mathew Panakkal molested 6 young girls between the age of 10-12 that were taking swimming lessons at Hougang Swimming Complex. He was jailed for 20 weeks after pleading guilty to charges of outraging the modesty of the girls.

Such cases of sexual offences by wildlife is a bit rare in Singapore despite the fact that India was notorious for more serious sexual offences. And this Panakkal is an active community and church workers involving children and has not received any complaints before. And according to his lawyer, ‘Pannikkal was deeply remorseful for what was a one off incident that was completely outside of his character and nature.

I have written a piece earlier on this and the rather clean record of Indian nationals here, with probably half a million in the island, you rarely heard of sexual offences committed by them. I concluded that it must be the Newater that they were drinking that kept them away from sexual crimes here.

In this case the chlorine in the swimming pool might have negated or neutralized the effect of Newater for the short period he was in the pool and resulted in him behaving not his normal self. Once out of the pool and away from the effect of chlorine and with consumption of more Newater, everything will be fine and he would be back to his normal self and would not be tempted while doing community activities involving children. Parents with young children under Panakkal's charge can feel very safe that by nature, when Pannakkal is in his normal self. Nothing to worry about with such good people taking care of their children.

This is the power of Newater, perhaps, an incidental phenomenal cleansing effect that was not established or proven yet.

China should start calling the Americans liars and gangsters

China's Global Times, a widely read newspaper published by the ruling Communist Party's official People's Daily, said on Saturday the world had to "contain capricious U.S. actions," pointing to examples like Trump withdrawing from the Paris climate accord.

"The world needs to rein in the U.S., although it's difficult," the paper said in an editorial. "The problem is that many countries have misgivings in expressing their opposition to U.S. bullying tactics out of fear for U.S. power, or hope to profit from the U.S. stirring up the global order through opportunism."....

The United States says China has been stealing U.S. intellectual property for years, forces U.S. companies to share trade secrets as a condition for doing business in China, and subsidizes state-owned firms so they can dominate both domestic and international business.

China says the United States is making unreasonable demands and must also make concessions.
"We feel the U.S. side is exerting extreme pressure," a Chinese diplomat told Reuters on Friday on condition of anonymity. "It is raising many demands but doesn't want to make concessions."

You don't read this kind of articles in the main media in the West or in crony countries of the West. You only read about the Empire accusing other countries of raising tensions, raising threats, threats to world peace and war. The truth is that the world's biggest bully is the greatest threat to world peace, the biggest bully that is threatening every country that would not do its bidding.

The Americans have been using its warships to go around the world to threaten every country, ally or foe, to impose sanctions on any country it likes to destroy their economy, to support and arm rebels and terrorists to start terrorist wars, to threaten regime change.

Why are the western media and American cronies not saying anything about the Americans as the main and major threat to the rest of the world but chose to be the mouthpiece to echo what the Americans accused and alleged against other innocent countries? The main media of American crony countries are accomplices to the crimes of the Evil Empire by being their choir boys and girls.

In a way they are helping the Americans to spread white lies, dangerous lies to support the Evil Empire and to badmouth other countries that are victims of the Evil Empire. They are in collusion, willing partners of crimes against humanity.

The other thing is that the American gangsters and liars are calling the Chinese thiefs even when in 5G the Chinese technology is light years ahead of the Americans and the Americans were trying to steal the Chinese technology. It is time that China starts to call the Americans liars, cheats, bullies, gangsters etc etc And Asian main media should start to publish more articles reflecting the evilness of the Americans instead.

PS. This is my Saturday post. Will be running at Home of Athletics, next to National Stadium, on Sat morning.

Tharman as IMF MD

Singapore — It looks as though Christine Lagarde, who has been serving as the Managing Director and Chairwoman of the International Monetary Fund since 2011, may be leaving her post soon, and the Singapore’s own Tharman Shanmugaratnam, currently a Senior Minister, may be stepping up to the plate.
Ms Lagarde was nominated as the President of the European Central Bank (ECB) on July 2, Tuesday, to outgoing Mario Draghi, and the New York Times (NYT) reported that she is looking to step down from heading the IMF while the ECB nomination is being carried out.

But the question that the NYT posed is whether or not the United States will actually endeavour to get an American to succeed Ms Lagarde. While the World Bank is traditionally chaired by an American, and the IMF, a European, some experts believe that US President Donald Trump may seek to defy this tradition.
Aside from Mr Tharman, who served as the IMF’s chairman of the International Monetary and Financial Committee, the other names on the shortlist of possible IMF heads are a former deputy managing director of the monetary fund, Agustín Carstens; and the former chief executive of Pimco, Mohamed El-Erian....


The above is posted in theindependent.sg. The post ended with a comment that Tharman is the best person for the job. I also think so, just like I think Tharman is also the best person to be PM of Singapore. But there are two problems to tackle. One, does Tharman want the job? He does not want the job of PM of Singapore and maybe he also does not want the MD job in IMF.

But the more difficult question is whether the Americans would allow it, or whether the European would allow it. Would the Europeans say Europeans are not ready for an Asian to be head of IMF?

Regardless, I would definitely be happy if Tharman becomes the MD of IMF. After all he would not be the PM of Singapore and he is relatively young compares to the rest of the potential candidates.  I cannot tahan seeing him wasting his good years as a senior minister in this little island. He still has 20 good years of productive life ahead of him, perhaps the best years in his life.

What do you think?

July 4th 1776 A day of Sorrow And Mourning for Native Americans

     Every year on July 4th white European invaders of America may celebrate and rejoice the day as Independence Day, but to the native Americans they commemorate the day as day of abomination,day of sorrow and mourning when their lands were brutally invaded by white men and their ancestors wantonly murdered, killed and genocided.

On the very first day of its independence the white men of the United States ( at that time it consisted of only 13 states of about Six hundred and sixty-five thousand square miles. The rest of continental north America belonged to several self-governing  native states under British protection ) adopted an official policy to exterminate the native Americans and acquire their lands by force. They arrogantly claimed that the native Americans were savages and should not be allowed to inherit the land. They planned a systematic series of warfare against the natives and decimated the native population further with biological warfare when they intentionally gave blankets of patients of white men with  small pox to unsuspecting Indians. Small pox epidemics would break out frequently among the natives and devastated their population.

After gaining its independence the United States were even more hostile to the native Americans than the British. The westward march for native lands could not be stopped. The fate of the native Americans were sealed on July 4th, 1776. with the formation of the United States of America which was even more cruel,  ruthless and brutal towards the native Indians than the British. Therefore they had no scruples in carrying out systematic killings, genocide and total extermination of the natives Indians as state policy.

Another dirty US tactic was to instigate inter-tribe rivalry and inter-tribe wars to make it easy for white conquests.

The 19th Century was a disaster for North America's native peoples. US fierce westward expansion at the expense of their land , freedom and lives caused the rapid collapse of native land holdings between 1784 and 1895.

From 1784 to the war of 1812 the eastern native tribes were well organized and they fought well that initially limited US march west.

However after the war of 1812 US aggression was fierce, violent and rapid. US violently removed natives from their lands and placed them in small reserves while the rest of their lands were occupied by white invaders. The reserves were concentration camps  lack of the most basic human needs. Any native who left the camp without permit would be shot without warning. The natives irrespective of whether they were men, women or children  were even used for sport shooting among the marauding white invaders as when they competed as to who is a better sharp shooter in taking down more Indians. This is wanton cruelty of the most brutal inhuman senseless behaviour.

Between 1810 and 1895 America gobbled up the continent through deceptive negotiating tactics and brute military force. By 1887 through the Dawes Act US effectively abolished tribal self-governance and there was very little left of Indian land saved some small pockets of impoverished reservations. 

One of the cruelest and most brutal anti-native American Indians was president Andrew Jackson. In the Indian Removal Act which he signed on May 28th , 1830 he authorized the seizure of all Indian lands and and removed all displaced Indians to reservations in federal territory which is an euphemism for slave labour camps.

The Act of 1830 spurred the ethnic cleansing of America in the 19th century under Andrew Jackson's presidency.

Thus in the short period of about two hundred years the United States had genocided no less then 85 million native Americans or almost 95 percent of their population.

The civilize world must condemn the white American invaders of continental America on this 4th of July every year for their ruthless extermination and wholesale genocide of native Americans starting from this fateful date. 

Do not celebrate with the white Americans on this date 4th July, for it is tantamount to condonning America's cruel and brutal acts and war of aggression against native Americans which brutal acts they are now extending to small and weak countries around the world claiming that the world is now overpopulated largely with people in third world countries in Asia, Africa and South America. Hence the Evil Empire and its western European allies are consstantly creating aggressive perennial wars to kill and bring down the population of the third world through senseless brutal mass bombings.

How to educate the Singaporeans in critical thinking

This topic is about what Tan Kin Lian posted in the TRE, how to educate Singaporeans in critical thinking.  I could not see the relevance of what Tan Kin Lian said about ad hominem attacks, constructive criticism and assertion without evidence and the education of Singaporeans to think critically.  Instead of wasting time trying explain and dismiss what Tan Kin Lian wrote, I will try to assist him in what he set out to do, to educate Singaporeans.

One very easy thing for Singaporeans to do to develop critical thinking is to read the main media. The main media is the best media to educate Singaporeans into how to think critically. Do not waste time reading the social media, especially blogs like mysingaporenews. Only main media teach readers how to think critically without thinking or without having to think. By reading their content would be enough to develop critical thinking.

The evidence can be found in social media like in mysingaporenews when those who are exposed to the main media and presumably are thinking critically and post their comments here like PAP is the best govt, CECA is best for Singapore, CPF is not your money etc etc

These people who made their comments here are best remembered and recognised for their repetition of their critical thinking skills. And it is wrong for some readers here to want to sodomise them for expressing their skills in critical thinking. I bet they learn everything from the main media, the only media in Singapore that said nothing but the truth and nothing but the truth.

People spending time reading social media for free should spend some money buying main media and get an education in critical thinking.

What do you think?  Oops, people here are not supposed to be able to think. If they can they would spend money on the good stuff, the main media. Good stuff don't come free. You have to pay to read the good stuff in the main media.

Below is from a post by Phillip Ang in TRE. My question is that does it make you think...critically?

Nothing wrong with management of CPF but government needs to delete annual reports from website?

CPF used to publish all annual reports since 2002.

Today, after Singaporeans have been enlightened by Roy on what could possibly turn out to be the mother of all scams, the earliest report available online is the 2013 annual report....

What is CPF attempting to conceal for PAP?

Besides annual reports, CPF has been busy deleting other information, eg older publication of 'CPF Trends' which provide statistical analysis....

It is not known why CPF should be concealing so much information which belongs in the public domain.

CIA Evil Plots and Clandestines Activities To Undermine Governments For Regime Change.


     The Evil Empire has since its independence in 1775, adopted a set pattern of Modus Operandi to undermine foreign or other governments for regime  change and for occupying and annexing other countries. Using these bellicose principles they had destroyed all the self-governing native American states and incorporated them into the United States of America. The did that to Mexico and subsequently annexed more than One million Six Hundred And Sixty-Five Thousand square miles of Mexican lands. Then after that it did the same to Hawaii in 1898 and formally annexed it in 1957.

Using the same Modus Operandi they did it to many Central and South American countries, to Middle East Arab countries, to Afghanistan and South East Asian countries. They failed in their attempt to undermine China in the failed Tiananmen riot in 1989 and a few times in Hong Kong in the Umbrella riots .

The CIA is The United States terrorist organisation . All its clandestine and subversive activities against other countries can be traced back to Washington, to the White House, Senate and Congress.

The CIA Modus Operandi patterns are as followss.

1.   Funding the Opposition
2.   Assassination: Assassinate presidents and leaders who are unfriendly to the United States.
3.   Destroying the economy or Economic Assasination to impoverish countries so as to cost social unrest and upheavals
4.   Media Takeover : Taking over of newspapers, journals, tabloids and TVs to carry out insidious propaganda and indoctrination for subversion.
5.   Creating Choas: Instigate and foment riots and public disorder to overturn governments which are unfriendly to US  or which refuse to toe US dictates.
6.    Exploiting Religious differences and ethnicity to divide and rule
7.   Using NGOs ( Non-Government Organisations ) to infiltrate, influence and interfere in local politics and internal affairs of other countries to carry out regime change.
8.   Using their Christian religious doctrine , 'The Doctrine of Christian Discovery' to justify their violence, terrorists acts and wars of aggression.
9.   Using their insidious bellicose doctrines to satisfy and empower them to carry out their wanton acts of aggression and domination and hegemony via The Doctrine of American Manifest Destiny, The Doctrine of American Essentialism and Exceptionalism.
10.   The Jewish American Paul Wolfowitz doctrine of Neo-Conservative Foreign Policy - such as in Foreign Policy - Low tolerance for diplomacy, readiness to use military force and an emphasis on US unilateral action. American Foreign Policy under the control of American Jews is the source of all evils in this world.

10.  Using subterfuge
       Use of subterfuge to undermine other countries peace and security.

The CIA had applied all these various principles successfully in taking down many countries in all parts of the world. In 1953 in Iran, it overthrew the democratically elected legitimate government of Presidennt Mossadegh and replace him with the Shah, a pro US tyrannical despot. In 1973 CIA overthrew Salvador Allende the socialist president of Chile and replaced him with Pinochet, a brutal pro US dictator who killed over three hundred thousand left wing Chileans. CIA also overthrew the democratically elected socialist government of the Sardinistras in Nicaragua in the 1980s and replaced it with the murderous pro US Contras. 

In 1963  in Indonesia CIA infiltrated into the administration of President Sukarno especially in the military and successfully carried out a military coup in 1965 with US funded and supported pro US army General Suharto installed as president. Under CIA's plod and guidance Suharto killed and murdered almost three million left wing Indonesians.

In 1970 CIA carried out an unsuccessful military coup against Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia and tried to replace Sihanouk  with traitor General Lon Nol as president. Lon Nol was on CIA's payroll until his death in California in 1985.

In similar way the Evil Empire via its terrorist arm the CIA overthrew the  governments of Yugoslavia in 1998, Saddam Hussein of Iraq in 2003 and Muammar Quaddafi of Libya in 2011. The traitor who ganged up with America to overthrow Saddam Hussein of Iraq was one Ahmad Chalabi, who is now a minister in the US military rule of Iraq and is still on CIA's payroll. In Libya the traitor who worked with CIA to overthrow Qaddafi was General Khalifa Haftar who is now installed as the ruler and warlord of Eastern Libya. Haftar is still on CIA's payroll.

Last year 2018 CIA tried to carry out a regime change of the democratically elected legitimate government of President Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela but failed miserably because Maduro had the mass support of more than eighty percent of the Venezuelans as well as strong support from Russia and China.

Recently it tried to use clandestine activities and subterfuge to destabilise the Philippines to overthrow President Duterde, but failed.

But now in Hong Kong , the Evil Empire via CIA.s use of NGOs had successfully infiltrated  and indoctrinated the thousands of faceless Hongkies to riot against the Hong Kong government so as to undermine the peace and prosperity of China. Some of the notorious traitors and ringleaders of the riotors are found in the high places of the legal profession, the university and other institutions of higher learnings and other high administrative posts including a substantial numbers of riff-raffs in society. A few examples can be found in Martin Lee, a lawyer, Benny Tai also a lawyer, Audrey Yuet-mee, Ray Wong and Edward Leung . Most of them have been meeting US  anti-China legislators and Congress personnels like Pelopsi and Marco Rubio. All these traitors organisations are funded by CIA and each and everyone of them are on CIA's payroll. China should forbid all CIA's NGOs in China and stop all their clandestine activitives and use of subterfuge to undermine China's peace and security. All traitors and ringleaders should be arrested and despatched off forthwith immediately without any hesitation. The law must take its course and violent riotors must be shown no mercy. They must be arrested and imprisoned and if necessary face the death penalty.

CIA is the world's biggest and most horrendous terrorist organisation . The world should clamour for the United Nations Organisation to take action against the United States and get rid of CIA forever for the peace and security of mankind on earth.

Hong Kong’s days are numbered

The current insanity in Hong Kong’s youth taken to the street to challenge the authority has reached a point of no return. It is only days to a declaration of a state of emergency in Hong Kong and the island be locked down. Blood may spill on the streets if this is so desired by the Hongkongers. Hong Kong is dispensable and so are Hongkongers. They are just a tiny blip in the big scheme of things in China.
 

In 1983, Margaret Thatcher visited China to talk to Deng Xiaoping about the return of Hong Kong after the 150 year lease expired. Actually she was there to talk about not returning Hong Kong to China and wanted to continue to occupy and rule Hong Kong under the British Empire. She threatened Deng about disorder and demonstration on the streets of Hong Kong if China insisted on taking over Hong Kong. She even threatened to use force.
 

Deng Xiaoping told her national sovereignty was not negotiable and China would take the disorder in her stride. If Hong Kong would be ruined, so be it. Deng gave Thatcher an ultimatum, two years of talks and if both sides could not reach an agreement, China would take unilateral decision to take over Hong Kong. Deng also threatened to take Hong Kong before 1997, saying China could take Hong Kong the same day if China wanted to.
 

The Hongkongers today have forgotten this message of Deng Xiaoping, that Hong Kong is an integral part of China, not a British colony, and would not be separated. The current public demonstration and defiance of law and order would be put down, by force if necessary. This is rioting and lawlessness. The Hongkongers must not have the idea that China would allow them to run wild and destabilize the country.
 

Xi Jinping would have to decide to act very soon. The G20 is over, the nonsense must stop before it gets out of hand. If blood has to be shed, it would be done. Hong Kong could be shut down from the rest of the world for weeks, for months, and the rest of China would go on as normal. China can afford to let Hong Kong die and rebuild Hong Kong from the ashes, minus the pro British and anti China elements. They can be locked up for good or allowed to migrate to Britain or anywhere of their own choosing.
 

The unthinking youths of Hong Kong would have to pay the price for their follies.

Digital Industry, jobs go to who?

I refer to the news that a new Digital Industry Singapore Office (DISG) was launched by the PAP government as it looks forward to work better with the private sector to unlock the opportunities in a so-called “digital as usual age”, including the creation of 10,000 new jobs within the technology sector....

I have no doubt in my mind that digitalisation of our economy is the right thing to pursue. However, my main concern about this whole digital efforts centres on jobs creation. Minister Iswaran talked about the estimated 10,000 new jobs within the technology industry being created but he fell far short of saying whether those 10,000 new and better paying jobs will largely benefit Singaporeans (or not).
I ask what is so great about this scheme if those thousands and thousands of new jobs being created once again go to foreigners from overseas because of a mismatch of skills, education, training and/or experience of our own Singaporean job seekers, resulting in more and more Singaporeans ending up as Grab drivers even when our job seekers are not uneducated or IT illiterate....

Simon Lim

The above is posted by Simon Lim in TRE. I share his concern that most of the jobs may go to foreigners especially to Indians from India under CECA.

What do you think, 10% goes to Singaporeans and 90% to foreigners?

Below are two comments posted in TRE in this article showing how the people are anticipating what would gonna be the outcome.  These Singaporeans are reading such initiatives with a lot of fear, scepticism and distrust of the govt. Can the got blame the people for their misgivings? Would the govt want to prove otherwise?  Or would the govt care how it would impact the Singaporeans or how the Singaporeans feel about this?

TruBlu:
Many former PMEs lost their decent jobs to the fake FTs dumped here by Lee Ah Long.
Meanwhile,their savings are being consumed by the HIGH COL here.
Becos many cannot qualify for social assistance due to the TYPE OF HOUSING they live in,many become impoverished.
To make things worse,the GREEDY N INCONSIDERATE SQUANDERING LEE AH LONG N HIS MONKEYS suck our CPF by scheming like CPF LIFE etc while allowing GENERAL COST OF LIVING to escalate.
This govt is UNFIT FOR DUTY N they know it.
Thus,besides having existing advantages like GRC N A CIVIL SERVICE READY TO DO ITS BIDDING,they come out with FAKE NEWS LAW to *POW CHIAK* any sg who criticises them especially aimed at good oppo sgs.
Sgs must wake up or be the cause of their own *desperation* by and by.
Rating: +1 (from 1 vote)
10,000 is a pap fake number:
10,000 is a number that exists only for aliens FTs PRs.
10,000 is a number that does not exist for local born 70% sheep.
remember the 2 casinos and the same pap Lj who said thousands of jobs? today June 2019 no a single pap Lj or pap Cb dare to tell 70% sheep how many local born 70% sheep are employed by the 2 casinos versus total number employed by the 2 casinos.
WHY?
because 94.7% are aliens FTs PRs, and 5.3% are local born 70% sheep.

Tourism boost in Malaysia

The progressive Malaysian govt has come up with something that would put Singapore to shame. While Singapore is still hardcore in condemning drug taking and with capital punishment as a deterrent, Malaysia is going to allow drug taking in small amount as acceptable, not a crime. Now this must be music to the ears of all the drug addicts in Singapore. Taking a cue from the progressive West is always a good and easy thing. The West did it, so must be OK.

Below is a report in Yahoo News on this drug taking in small amount as a new way of life. Oh, drug trafficking is still a serious offence. But taking sikit sikit is ok, just a disease and just try to cure them by allowing them to take sikit sikit, should not pose any problem, not drug addiction.

Singaporeans can be expected to swarm into Malaysia once this new progressive law is introduced. Just take sikit sikit would be nice. Can do is publicly, hold sikit sikit drug parties in Malaysia, and take them in style and in comfort. No need to think of going to Canada or some western cities far far away. Now it can be done across the Causeway. It is a game changer.

My only fear is that when tourism money starts to flow into Malaysia because of this, some 'pragmatic' aka money minded politicians would say hey, let's do the same. How can Malaysia be more progressive than us, we are a world city and this is the in thing, everyone is doing it and very good also for bringing in more wildlife here, oops, I mean rich and affluent foreigners to spend their money here. More oomphs and vibrancy in this dull city.


KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysia's government plans to drop criminal penalties for the possession and use of drugs in small quantities to battle addiction, but stressed the move is not akin to legalizing narcotics.

Malaysia has one of the world's harshest penalties for drug possession. Anyone found with 200 grams (7.05 ounces) of cannabis, 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of opium, 40 grams (1.41 ounces) of cocaine, and 15 grams (0.53 ounces) of heroin or morphine face being charged with drug trafficking, which carries the death penalty.

More than 1,200 prisoners are on death row, most of them convicted of drug crimes.

Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad said in a statement Thursday that the proposal for the decriminalization of drug addiction will be a significant game changer. He said drug addiction is a complex, relapsing medical condition and throwing an addict into jail will not cure them.

"Drug decriminalization will indeed be a critical next step toward achieving a rational drug policy that puts science and public health before punishment and incarceration," Dzulkefly said. "An addict shall be treated as a patient, not as a criminal, whose addiction is a disease we would like to cure."

He said the move mustn't be mistaken as legalizing drugs as drug trafficking will remain a crime....

English or Filipino only, please!

The Philippines’ Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is now requiring all businesses to have their signages and advertising materials in English, Filipino, or both. Those written in languages other than the two recognized as official in the Philippines must be translated, an administrative order released yesterday states.

DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez signed Department Administrative Order (DAO) No. 19-09, Series of 2019 on Friday, June 21. The order specifies that “signages, billboards, advertisements, brochures, flyers, notices, advisories, labels, price tags/lists, menus, receipts, and other business marketing materials” in a foreign language must be translated....

The order comes after the discovery of China Food City, a food park in Las Piñas City that caters to mostly Chinese customers. The DTI conducted a surprise inspection there last month and found that all the 33 stalls in the food park had signages, price lists, and receipts that were only in Chinese characters.


The above is posted in Yahoo News. The Pinoys have pride in their own language and culture. They would not trade them for money just because most of the tourists came from China. This is a departure from countries that would woo tourists, especially rich Communist Chinese tourists that have a lot of money to throw, making poor Capitalist tourists looking like paupers. The days of laughing at poor Communists are over as European cities, including some in the US have put up signs in Chinese to make things easier for the affluent Communists.

Would Singapore put up similar signs like the Philippines, oops, not English or Filipino but English and Singlish only, or English only? See, many bananas and non Chinese cannot tahan the Communist Chinese speaking Chinese here. Would they be encouraged by our pro western policies and Anglophiles to demand that all signages and signs be in English only?

Wait a minute, after living here for so many decades, while my memory is fading, but still with some memories of the past, I can faintly remember that we have 4 official languages and Chinese aka Mandarin is one of them.  Can you people help me to confirm this? 

Nowadays nobody seems to remember this historical and constitutional fact and simply and conveniently ignored the status of Mandarin as an official language. Anyone speaking Mandarin is scorned upon, despised and humiliated in public by these people that refused to accept and recognise Mandarin as one of our official languages. You must speak to them in English only or else they would tarok you chiat lat chiat lat and shame the Mandarin speaker in pubic. To them speaking Mandarin is almost a crime in Singapore, not allowed, not to be tolerated! It is disgusting!

So, what do you think? Would Singapore one day be like the Philippines, with govt issuing orders like English or Singlish Only or  English Only?  How about a new campaign like Speak English Only?

Why can't I use my own CPF money for my daughter's education?

Today, I went down to CPF building to inquire upon my daughter’s school fees. Because my salary did not reach the lowest deposit I can’t apply to use CPF for my daughter’s school fees. I want to ask, right now in my CPF there is 70,000+, I only need 15,000 to pay for my daughter’s school fees.
In the past, the government used to say that by the time we hit the age of 55, we can make a withdrawal from my CPF. Currently I’m already 60 years old, with an unstable job, how am I suppose to get the needed cash for my daughter’s education?!

The response of the staff at CPF shocked me. He said: ‘The past is the past, now is now, now the rules changed, if you did not hit the lowest deposit, you can’t take your CPF money.’

I requested again, saying: ‘The money in my CPF is my hard earned money, i only need to use a part of it to pay for my daughter’s school fees which is $15,000, my CPF has more than enough inside to pay for my daughter’s school fees. Is there another way to do this?’

To which the staff replied: ‘Can apply, the chance of it is zero’

This is a huge news to me. If I’ve never experienced it myself, I would thought that what other’s have went through are just false news.

I felt cheated, humiliated, angry. So many years of hard work, sweat and tears to earn the money and it’s inside CPF. It is suppose to be my money. I’m in need of it and yet, I cannot take my own money to help pay my daughter’s school fees.

Please share this post to help.

As a father, i want to help my daughter, looking at my CPF that still has a bit of money to pay but can’t do it.

Do I really have to resort to borrowing money and loans when i got my money in my CPF? Should I be forced to stopped my daughter’s education?

Believe that this does not happen to just me. This kind of government order, treating our own Singaporeans like this, can i still have trust and faith in them? Even for just my child’s school fees.
What should i do? What can i do?

Facebook post by Lim Koh Leong



The CPF Board has responded with a statement confirming that Mr Lim cannot use his CPF funds for his child’s education.

CPF’s full statement: “As Mr Lim did not have sufficient CPF savings for a basic retirement, allowing him to use his CPF for his daughter’s education is not appropriate. The better approach is to find other ways to finance his daughter’s school fees. We have spoken to him and are discussing alternative options. The Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts will also be in touch with him.

Is this a fair reply from CPF? According to past CPF policy, such loans would need to be repaid by the daughter when she graduated and started work. So what is the problem? I think the repayment includes interest as usual.

Anwar Ibrahim - The PM in waiting forever

20 years ago Anwar was the PM in waiting during Mahathir's premiership but was jailed by Mahathir, ending his long wait to be the next PM of Malaysia. 20 years later, Anwar again is the PM in waiting under Mahathir and almost as sure or more sure than 20 years ago to be the next PM. There was a deal with Mahathir that he will stay as PM for two years only.

Anwar's daughter wept. She could not believe Anwar would make a deal with Mahathir, the man that put him behind bars, the man that chose him to be his disciple to take over the PM. Anwar's daughter seen it and would not believe in this man called Mahathir.

Anwar chose to believe in Mahathir. Mahathir has already served a year and to Anwar's horror, Mahathir said he would hand over power to Anwar within 3 years. What did Mahathir meant by this 'within 3 years', 3 years from now or 3 years from the start of this premiership?

Even then, a 3 year term was not in the deal with Pakatan Rakyat. What is happening, Mahathir going against his words that he would served only two years?

Being cheated by a man once is bad enough but still forgivable. Being cheated by the same man twice is pure foolishness, stupidity.  Would Anwar be cheated by Mahathir a second time? If so, it is not only a matter of stupidity but the lost of his dream of becoming the PM of Malaysia and be forever be the PM in waiting in the history of Malaysia.

Can Mahathir be trusted to live by his words? The way he casually talked about handing over power to Anwar within 3 years is like a thunderbolt to Anwar and his party. Mahathir has secured his premiership and there is no way Anwar could replace him now if Mahathir chooses to stay on for the full term. Within 3 years from now is to serve the full term.

Is this what Malaysian politics is all about, or is this all about Mahathir? Poor Anwar, if history repeats itself.

Vicious Self-Aggrandizement Jews A Bane To China And The Chinese People PART TWO


     In yesterday's ( 27- 06-2019 )     PART   ONE article, it tells how China was lethally exploited by the might of the British enforced illegal Opium Trade and the Opium Wars that brought China to its knees.

Here  PART     TWO  tells how ironically the same inimical Jews in this first decades of the 21st century again try to bring harm to China via the much hated evil white American imperialists, the descendants of the now decrepit British imperialist. Only now the difference is that China is more than able to handle these mafia rogues and gangsters and give them back their own medicine.

The Chinese have not yet  got over the century of shame and humiliation initiated by the Jews and have yet to redress for all the wrongs, sufferings, damages and losses. Yet these same capricious Jews of the 21st century think it is fun to play havoc with China again.

The present very bitter anti-China feelings in America and the West is again initiated by a bunch of American Jewish hooligans. These Jewish American hooligans are able to sneak themselves into positions of power in the American government through scheming and plotting and ingratiation in high places. The American Jews seem to have taken control of the White House, the senate and Congress, the Foreign Office, CIA and The Pentagon as well as the banks and the ministry of trade and finance. The American Jews have openly advocated a policy of confrontation against China to take China down. Some of the main scoundrels in this pack are Paul Wolfowits, Peter Narvarro, John Bolton,Robert Lighthiger, Pompeo, Steve Bannon , Eliot Abrams and many more others.

Both Wolfowitz and Narvarro formulated very strong inimical arrogant policies and doctrines against China. Under Wolfowitz doctrine he demanded USA must prevent China from emerging as a rival power to pose a threat to US dominance. Together with Narvarro and Lighthiger Wolfowitz demanded that US must stop Chjina from industrial development  and prevent China from aspiring a larger regional  or global role. They advocated the necessity for US to take pre-emptive intervention to stop China's rise from threatening US interests or those of its allies. They are committed to the security of Israel too.

Peter Narvarro insists that China must agree to US demands that China carry out a profound overhaul of its economic and industrial policies to avoid challenging US overall supremacy. He talks as if China is a US colony . So China must subject to US dictates and suffer serious disruptions to her economy so that US can have the upper hand to do more evil to China.

Narvarro had written several anti-China books in which the main theme is constantly a call for US and the West to take down China. It is definitely a bugle call for war against China. In each of these books there is a similar emphasis for US and its Western mafia gangs to declare war on China and to take the first pre-emptory strike. He stressed the importance for US to maintain supreme military strength and preparedness and strengthening alliances . He states clearly in detail that US single greatest foreign policy challenge today is that of a "Rising China" and China's challenge to US position in Asia. He accused China of posing a provocative challenge to the status  quo meaning to US predominance and hegemony in Asia and the Pacific Ocean . He claims that the most formidable strategic challenge facing America is how to manage 'Beijing's Rise'  and prevent the creation of a " New Chinese Order ."

He is always in the front line falsely accusing China of a lot of fake things.  He accused China of mercantilist attack on America's industrial and technological bases costing US millions of good paying jobs. This accusation as we know is all imaginary hogwash. He claims China is an expansionist power trying to seize territory from its Asian neighbours  and drive the US out of the Western Pacific. He asserts China is a revisionist powser that wants to neutralise the US in East Asia and supplants it as the regional hegemon.

In making all the above fake accusations he conveniently forgets that China is an aggrieved power with a chip on its shoulder from historic humiliations at the hands of the West, US, Russia and Japan and has a political system that makes it an ideological rival with the US  only heightens the chance of a conflict with America if America conntinues to threaten China with harmful actions to try to contain China.

From the outset of his book 'Crouching Tiger' he has prepared a case for US war against China. He is all for US to declare war on China and he tries to encourage and sway US public opinion in preparedness for US military action and confrontation against China. And with his plodding US propaganda departments in Washington , Pentagon and CIA are constantly printing and disseminating propaganda with lots of lies, half-truths. insinuations, innuendos, misinformation and disinformation to prepare the American people for war against China. He lays out the worst case scenarios for war against China and is calling US to take action against a menacing rival superpowser that is invariably portrayed as assertive and aggressive with evil motives. He does not seem to realize that all these fake accusations reflect on the Evil Empire, the United States itself. 

He ignores the fact that US anti-China hawkish policies have a great impact on China's behaviour. More than 70 years after the end of the Second World War the United States still surround China with military bases in Japan, South Korea, Guam and the Philippines where hundreds of thousands of US troops are stationed. Moreover US has constantly conducted spying operations near China's borders and coastline and has always make clear that "China's authoritarian political system is destined for the scrapheap of history ", implying that US will never cease to give up its plan to destroy China. So how would Narvarro or anyone else expect China to react to a potentially hostile force at her doorstep.

China is indeed fearful of the inimical US postwar security system. China is neither imperialistic nor manipulative as Narvarro's book portrayed. Narvarro twisted facts about Chinese agenda in East Asia and South East Asia and the US Pacific command. 

Narvarro sinisterly alludes to China's hegemonic desire to become a superpower through its military, economic and political policies. He calls for US and its western European allies to take immediate action to address this formidable threat. His evil intention is to arouse Americans' anti-China feelings by focussing on the certainty that America's superiority is being challenged by China.

Britain and the Jews of the 19th and 20th century had impoverished China and caused tremendous harm, suffering and destruction to China while they and the Sassoons and the Europeans and Americans ,parties to the rape of China were awashed with unlimited wealth and splendour derived from the horrific  illegal opium business and opium wars against China.

Ironically in this 21st century the same capricious demonic Jews have once again become a bane to China as they plot and manipulate the United States to go against China in every way. Peter Narvarro and his hordes of hawkish anti-China Jews are representatives and mouth pieces of the the Wall Street Anglo-Saxon  Jewish Zionist Rothschilds Illuminati Cabal . Just as the Sassoons reaped horrendous profits of billions of pounds from the Opium War on China , Narvarro and his masters in the Zionist Rothschilds Illuminati Cabal hope to reap the same endless billions of dollars in profit if they succeed in creating the Sino-American war. But hopefully this time round China will teach the psychopathic Jews and Americans a painful lesson.

Narvarro and his his anti-China clique must not push their hawkish ideas too far.. Today China is not a push over , China is now rich and powerful a full fledged military nuclear armed power  with well developed economy and well endowed scientific, industrial and technological prowess ready to take on any blind and lunatic adversary.  Moreover China is not alone but has powerful allies in Russia , North Korea, Iran and Pakistan. An attack on China now will culminate in the demise of the United States and Israel.

Vicious Self-aggrandizement Jews, a bane to China and the Chinese people

                                                           PART          ONE

          The Jews may be a small race but their propensity for doing evils in this world outweighs their small numbers by incalculable geometric figures. They are more venomous than all the poisonous creatures like the cobra, black mamba, viper, rattle snake and the tarantula spider.

Wherever the Jews go they will create choas and problems. The Egyptian pharoahs had to expel them from Egypt more than three thousand years ago to keep the Egyptian throne safe. King Cyrus of Persia was kind enough to send the Jews back to Jerusalem instead of despatching them for good.

Historically they have been very good in self-aggrandizement and ingratiating with local rulers to get themselves fraudulently appointed to positions of power in the government. This deceptive practice has eventually caused undesirable consequences to everybody.

It was claimed that the Jews were the satans behind the scenes in starting the Napoleonic Wars , The First World War and The Second World War. They initiated these wars out of their limitless greed and avarition to profit from these wars when they were able to sell military weapons and hardware to all the warring parties simultaneously without blinking an eye. Indeed they are very good. clever and astute in inciting and fomenting wars among others so long as there is money or profits to make.

The scheming insidious Jews are the source of all wars in the Middle East , Asia and Africa and may be South America. In 2003 , Paul Wolfowitz and Dick Cheney, both Jews in the Bush administration formulated a secret policy for the Pentagon to draft contingency plans for the use of nuclear weapons against seven countries viz Russia, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Libya, Syria and China.

The Jews referred to China's national symbol and emblem, The Dragon'  as 'Satan' and called for every nation on earth to join Israel to destroy China

The Jews practise a militant religious doctrine 'The Talmud' which teaches them that they are the chosen race of God and they stand supreme against all other races on earth. Indeed they have always hold other races in contempt as savages or sub-human. Wherever they go they cunningly establish themselves in positions of power by scheming , plotting and by deceit. They elbow themselves  not only in the high places of the political arena but also in the financial, trade and commerce sectors as well as holding a strangle hold on the mass media the TV, newspapers and journals where they freely propagate fake and distorted news, lies, half-truths, misinformation and disinformation.

The Jews have no qualms in manipulating and pitting other countries to fight and destroy themselves so long as they can survive by not involving themselves directly in destructive wars. The Jews control  the American Central bank, The Federal Reserves, the British central bank, The Bank of England as well as many of the  central banks of Europe and the world. In 1972 the American Jew, Henry Kissinger, secreatary of state to President Nixon plotted the PetroDollar which enables America to hold the world in financial bondage and hostage subservient to American financial manipulation, squeeze and control. With the effective control of the PetroDollar America has been able to hold the whole world to ransom through sanctions, tariffs and blockades.

The Jews have always been a bane to China and the Chinese people.

In the 19th and first half of the  20th century the Jews were instrumental in plodding the British and the Europeans to attack China. They were able to influence the British army to fight for them as mercenaries in the Opium Wars of 1839-1840 and 1858-1860. Ironically in this 21st century these same inimical Jews are now again plotting to get the United States to attack China, to declare war on China under the most whimsical reasons.

It was the British Jews who for the sake of making illicit opium money from China initiated the illegal opium trade on China. The Chinese government had banned the trading of opium, a life destroying drug.

A notorious Jew, David Sassoon, a financial criminal fugitive escapee from Baghdad, Iraq was responsible for initiating the illicit opium trade that led to the Opium War against China. David's father Saleh Sassoon was a banker and treasurer to Ahmed Pasha the governor of Baghdad. Thus Saleh Sassoon was holding a very high influential position. In 1829 Saleh Sassoon and Ahmed Pasha were indicted for corruption and Pasha was overthrown . However Saleh Sassoon and his family fled to Bombay, British India. As he was able to line up the pockets of British officials in India with his bountiful wealth , the British government soon granted the Sassoons monopoly rights to all manufactured catton goods, silk and most important opium.

However, China did not want the cotton that Sassoon wanted to trade and would only accept payment in silver dollars for her tea. Other than tea China was not interested in trading with England for any other thing.

As the British government under Queen Victoria did not want to use the country's reserves of gold or silver in buying tea so David Sassoon treacherously advised the British government to force China to open up China for opium trade though they knew that China had banned opium trading in the country.

In order to boost the illicit and illegal opium trade David Sassoon forced the farmers in Bengal to stop farming food and turned to growing opium poppies. As Sassoon's opium business flourished he was appointed a member and director of the British East India Company, a firm owned and run by the Rothschild's Jews in London.

The illicit opium business was so successful that the tax the company paid to England was more than enough to pay for all the English wars between 1831 and 1905.

Opium was a Jewish Business" and the Jews had an almost total monopoly of the illicit opium trade in China. As his opium business expanded in China David Sassoon placed his eight sons in charge of the various opium exchanges in China. Other than his sons he also employed other Jews in his business. He imported whole family of Jews from England and all over Europe and put them to work.Then he built synagogues and schools for the Jewish community wherever he might place them.

As the Sassoons were British subjects their illegal opium business had the full protection of the British government, especially the then British prime minister Palmerstone himself was a Jew. With the rich opium trade the Sassoons were credited as great developers of British India while ignoring and forgetting the fact that their vile opium trade caused the great destruction and impoverishment of the Chinese nation.

As the scourge of opium was getting too rampant on the Chinese population and nation the Chinese government decided to take some strong action against the illegal opium business. In 1839, the Chinese commissioner of Canton, Lin Tse-hsu confiscated 2000 chests of Sassoon's opium and threw them into the river. David Sssoon was outraged and demanded Great Britain retaliate. As the Sassoon family had married into the Rothschild family who had controlled the English economy and had great influence in the British government the demand had powerful Jewish backers in England.

The Opium Wars began with the British army fighting as mercenaries of the Sassoons. They attacked cities and blockaded ports. The Chinese army decimated by more than a decade of rampant opium addiction was no match for the British army. The war ended with the Treaty of Nanking which legalized Sassoon's right to enslave the whole Chinese population with opium. China had to compensate the Sassoon's millions of pounds for the opium confiscated and destroyed by  Lin Tse-hsu. China had to pay England a war indemnity of several million pounds. In addition China had to accede to British demand for territorial sovereignty for the British Crown over several  designated offshore islands in which Hong Kong was one of them. Thus with the protection of this outrageous treaty the Sassoons were able to use the British army to forcefully drug the entire Chinese nation.

As the British pile up more unreasonable demands, the Chinese resisted. This resulted in Palmerston declaring the Second Opium War of 1858-1860. At the end of the war Palmerstone demanded the right of the British to trade opium in  the whole of China's interior .  China had to pay a bigger war indemnity than the last one and in addition China had to open several more additional Chinese ports and cities for England to occupy and conduct the opium trade.

Not happy with just imposing these new outrageous terms , Palmerstone showed great hatred and derision of the Chinese by leading a pack of western powers inclusive of US, France, Russia, Germany, Holland, Italy  and Japan to loot and burn down the prestigeous Chinese Palace Garden , the "Yuanmingyuan."

Inflation or money not enough


Parking fines to increase by as much as 40%. Illegal parking fines for vehicles would be raised from $50 to $70, an increase of $20 or 40%. Parking fines for not putting parking coupons, time gaps, delays, over parking, tailgating at ERPs etc etc all raised.
 

The last revision was in 1991, so long ago. Inflation must be the reason after so long never raise. Everything goes up, so parking fines must also go up. It is the natural order of things or else how to increase salaries?
Or is this another sign that money is not enough for the govt, and this is another area to squeeze more money for the govt to pay bigger salaries, bonuses, increments or some may say, lose money in long term investments?
 

We have several hundred billions under GIC, Temasek and MAS’s management invested for higher returns. If the net return is 4%, not miraculous 15% or whatever, for every $100b we should get $4b back. For $800b, my estimate, could be more AUM, we should be getting $32b in ROI. I am talking about net, after less salaries, bonuses and other costs, this is not small change.
 

Why still so desperate for small change like raising fees, fines, and anything that can be raised? And toying with more CPF schemes? The flogging of the CPF horse is a dangerous and desperate move. Anytime this horse may be flogged to death.
 

According to thenewpaper report, between the years 2016-18 average annual illegal parking notices issued was 260,800. Even at $100 per piece, it would be $26m only. Really small change and after knocking off salaries and other cost, there is nothing much left. The only good thing is that it creates more parking attendant jobs.
 

A housewife, Mrs Alice Lim, was quoted to welcome the news of the increase, higher fines mean less parking offences. Brilliant thinking, just like you know who. Who would have this kind of thinking? What’s wrong with fines? What’s wrong with collecting more money when the people are so happy to be fined, and to pay and pay?
 

To make motorists and Sinkies happy, the fines should be higher. Then everyone would be saying, see lesser parking offences. Not sure if this is a way the non motorists are going after the car owners.

Singapore must not be dragged into another war in the Middle East


The world’s number one warmonger is again busily trying to build another coalition to start a war with Iran. After raising tension in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, the Evil Empire is telling the world that the region is unsafe for shipping and the ships must be protected. Protected by who and against who?
 

From the recent spate of false flag incidents when tankers were attacked by American fabricated incidents, it is crystal clear that the tankers were attacked by the Americans and used as excuses for American naval forces to protect them. They started the fire and asking for payments as the fire fighters.
 

Freedom of navigation is paramount, tweeted the American gangster Pompeo. Actually other than some African or Somali pirates, the region is fairly safe, definitely no risk of being attacked by the Iranians. It is in the interest of the Iranians to keep the region safe as they are a major exporter of oil. Only troublemakers like the Americans would want to raise tension in the region and invited themselves in as the policeman.
And mind you, this is not for free. All the ships in passing the region have to pay protection money to the Americans. The Americans are roping in other countries, calling it a coalition, but really a bunch of gangsters demanding protection money or their ships would be attacked by them. The American gangsters have created another new phrase, ‘proactive deterrence’, for a group of willing or unwilling nations to provide material and financial resources to do the American bidding as partners of a high sea gangsters, collecting protection money or else.
 

Let’s hope Singapore is wise enough this time and not be arm twisted to be another gangster and has its hands dirtied and bloodied. Singapore does not have to be an unwilling gangster of the high seas. Singapore has choices, can train anywhere else, can buy arms from elsewhere, even in China if the Americans close down our training bases in the US. We can close down Changi Naval Base to the Americans. The Americans have no other alternative choice, there is no place safe and convenient and strategic like Singapore for the Americans to park their war machine. Where else can the Americans go other than Singapore?
 

Singapore must stand firm on this, no more being a member of an international mafia and accomplice to international crimes against humanity.

When money 'chiat buay leow'


I was most impressed that Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, Chairman and CEO of Genting Malaysia, has announced during an AGM on 19 June 2019 that he will be voluntarily taking a 20% pay cut in the face of an increased in gaming taxes from 25% to 35% and a decline in business performance.
That was not wayang. There was no need for him to wayang. That was true Leadership. A 20% pay cut will translate to about RM$10 million.

Now, look at the PAP government. Not too long ago, Goh Chok Tong even had the audacity and cheek to publicly lamented that PAP Ministers are not paid enough despite them getting from our taxpayers, in a very small population, the highest political salaries anywhere in the world!

To add insult to injury, he was also quoted as saying that those who earn under S$500,000 annually in the private sector are mediocre. Senior Counsel Edwin Tong was quoted that his many tens of thousands of dollars in monthly political salaries were also tough on him because he has to support his in-laws too etc. I wonder if he is aware that there are too many married men out there earning much, much lesser than him and are also supporting their in-laws too?....


The above is part of an article posted in TRE by Simon Lim. It reflects on the hypocrisies and realities of people with too much money and some crying money not enough while some knew that it is near insanity to keep wanting more. Sure, the more the merrier, so many said so. Who want not want to have more money?

The pursuit of money for the sake of money, or to have more money than your neighbour would lead to no end. There would come a time when people get an awakening and realise enough is enough. Maybe those with so much money need not feel shameful that their neighbours are earning many times more, need not have to compare with others that are earning millions everyday.

Many people really have money chiat buay leow, depending on their lifestyle, that they could do something more interesting in their lives, more meaning and satisfying than chasing for more money.

Lim Kok Thay is one of them, so is Donald Trump. And there are many in China, including those in top political office and the new rich that regard national pride more than anything else.

When money not enough, it is fair and normal to want more, but up to a point when more money could become quite meaningless in the sense of diminishing return, so much more for what?

When one has only 20 or so years to live, many only a handful of years to live, how much more is needed when one already have millions and dunno what to do with the money?

And there is Mr Oon of Tian Tian Lai chicken rice stall at Maxwell. He also has money chiat buay leow in his own way. Different people have different definition of money chiat buay leow. Some earning millions and still money not enough. Read this as reported in theindependent.sg,


Singapore—Kindness and support come in many ways indeed. For one food stall owner, helping the country’s elderly comes in the form of 100 free plates of Hainanese chicken rice every Wednesday for seniors of the Pioneer Generation, Singaporeans born on or before December 31, 1949.

“The government does it their way, I do my own”, said Mr Oon who owns Uncle Sky (Tian Tian Lai) Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice at Maxwell Food Centre, stalls #01 and 02.

Not only that, Mr Oon does his part for the Merdeka Generation as well. Every single day, both the Merdeka and the Pioneer Generation are given a whopping 50 per cent discount on the chicken rice dish at his stall. This means, instead of paying S$3, the members of the Pioneer and Merdeka Generations only pay S$1.50 for a delicious meal.

Seniors get a numbered card with which they can claim their meal at Tian Tian Lai—a card that allows them to have not just one but two meals a day.

Mr Oon says he will make the daily discount available until “the stall is no longer around”.

Black Day in DBS Vickers - How can there be trust?

Sanjay Perera  - Is this how trust is built?

'In a speech on ‘Effective, Accountable and Inclusive Governance’ ‘PM’ wannabe Mr Heng said some interesting things. He states:

“By drawing diverse ideas and perspectives to explore issues, experimenting with possible solutions, finding common grounds, we can overcome challenges and seize opportunities together.”
Indeed, through insisting that different voices in parliament from alternative parties is not a good thing (unless he no longer mouths the ruling party’s monolithic chant of ‘One Party To Rule Them All’), he cannot possibly mean what he is saying.

Since he wholeheartedly supports the shameless Fake News laws he cannot be serious in what he asserts....

To allow Dishonourables to cling onto office, to bully citizens, to stifle dissent and alternative views, to proudly proclaim yourself a price-is-right-politician who is reluctant to serve without the right monetary incentives: if that is not a sign of the dark souls that have taken over government, what is?...'

The above was posted in TRE by Sanjay Perera.

I  would like to mention only two points. Until everyone gets his/her CPF savings back, not hijacked by all kinds of schemes, can see but cannot touch, when you borrow from your CPF for some extenuating situation, you still have to pay interest, even if you are pass 55, or about to die, in your 60s, 70s, 80s etc etc... where can there be trust?

Secondly, I have just experienced what bullying citizens, stifling dissent and alternative views, etc etc meant. Just ask the remisiers in DBS Vickers what they have gone through and they would share the same feelings...it is darkness without a sign of light.

How can there be trust? How can there be, to quote Heng Swee Kiat, 'explore issues, experimenting with possible solutions, finding common grounds, we can overcome challenges and seize opportunities together'.

Does Swee Kiat or Hsien Loong know what is happening in DBS Vickers? Do they know that there was a Black Day in DBS Vickers during a townhall meeting last week when everyone wore black?

North Korea - What the West did not want you to see or know

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/north-korea-china-ties-xi-jinping-visit-11648808

The above is a short 3 minute clip of Xi Jinping's recent visit to North Korea. What is interesting is to note the infrastructure of North Korea, roads, buildings and the people, what they are wearing, the common folks and their residents etc etc.

Are these the images of a poor country suffering from famine and abject poverty that the evil West want you to believe in? The West have been spreading their white lies about North Korean since the end of the Korean War, imposing trade sanctions and conducting military exercises threatening to invade North Korea. They hope to destroy North Korea. And if they are unable to, they spread white lies to make others think North Korea is about to habis, finito.

Do not believe in white lies. Open your own eyes to see the truth, things that the West did not want you to know. Be liberated from the oppression of western imperialism.

PS. Listen to this American introducing a China made phone, One Plus, in Mandarin in America, so fluent and eloquent. 5 min clip.
