Gupta Clan owns 16 private properties in Singapore

In thenewpaper it was reported that the family of Guptas owned 16 private properties in district 10, 3 units in Lush on Holland Hill, 12 units at YGK Gardens in Belmont Road and 1 unit in Holland Road. This was reported because the Gupta family was involved in a crime probe in USA and Australia. But that is besides the point. 

What is important is that such rich people should be welcomed in Singapore and we can sell a lot of private properties to them. If one clan or family can buy up 16 choiced properties, imagine how many properties could be bought if 1,000 such families are allowed to migrate here, or 100,000 such families, meaning 16,000 or 1.6m properties could be sold to them. The whole of Paya Lebar and Tanjong Pagar would not be enough. Our property developers would be so busy building more properties and more foreign workers can be brought in to contribute more to worker's levy. Singapore could reclaim more forested or unused land to build more properties to sell to such high net worth people. No need to waste land to build more shopping centres or hawker centres or factories. Just build high end condos to sell will do.

I think if our luck is good, we can sell the whole island away too. Isn't this a nice thought, building more and more properties to be sold to foreigners/PRs and making more money?  Singapore Inc would be really rich and the two sovereign funds would have a lot of money to invest, to buy up the whole world.

What do you think?

Pompeo - the modern day Frankenstein




Pompeo or Pompee, this big lump of lard is the most evil man in the Trump Administration. He is the modern day Franskenstein, the butcher, the number one trouble maker. He is going everywhere to bully countries and wanting to start a war. He deserves to be roasted in the oven and served to the hyenas.

He proudly claimed in Congress that he lied, he cheated and he stole!

'Predatory Loan' versus Colonialism and Imperialism

The Americans have been waving the flag of predatory lending and debt traps to attack China's investment and infrastructure building in the BRI Project. Predatory loans or lending as defined by Investopedia is 'Predatory lending imposes unfair, deceptive, or abusive loan terms on a borrower.' And many states, including those states that joined the BRI, have their own anti-predatory lending laws.' How valid is this American allegation or white lie on debt trap and predatory lending against China?

Most of the countries that have infrastructure building agreements with China are poor countries, many victims of western Imperialism and Colonialism.  The white men came, robbed them of their wealth and left them to do with whatever that was left of their countries, or not to do and live or die in perpetual poverty. Nearly a hundred years after the white imperialists and colonialists have left the colonised countries, many of these countries are still struggling to make ends meet and need money, technology to rebuild their economies, infrastructure and countries. The countries that should be doing this, for free, should be the former invaders, the imperialists and colonial masters that enriched themselves from the loots of these countries. But no, they would not do anything. They would not even provide loans with strings attached unless these countries could pay back.

This is an impossible dream to these poor countries. Who could they turn to for money and technology? Who could provide them with cheap loans to rebuild their infrastructure, to raise the standard of living of their people and to revive their economies? Not the West, not the white men, not the imperialists and colonial masters.

China was also a victim of the white scourge, having been invaded by the white men through wars, and nearly colonised. China had to pay war reparations and indemnities that resulted in bankrupting the whole country. The whites came, started a war, invaded and semi colonised China and made China pay for their war expenses and damages and compensation for their war effort.  This is the rule of the white imperialists and colonialists.

China has recovered from the ravages of white imperialism and colonialism and has extended a helping hand to the poor countries of the world, the victims of white imperialists and colonialists. China would help them with cheap loans and the technology to rebuild their countries. What is so wrong and so bad about these? China did not invade these countries, did not march in with guns and point at their heads to sign these infrastructure rebuilding projects. China went in to offer what China could do at a price they agreed, cheaper than the loans the white men would offer at high interest rates and strings attached.

The leaders of these countries have limited choices. Continue to live in their underdeveloped countries forever, with no money, no technology, they could not rebuild themselves. China offers them hope and they could negotiate on what they want, what they need, at a mutually agreeable price and terms. They have no money, but some have resources and raw material for exchange. Some could rent out their land and become rentiers like Djibouti. Whatever, the final terms of repayment are signed after tough negotiations and bargaining and agreed by both parties. These countries would have to work out the sums, what they could afford to have from their lists of wants and what they could afford to pay from their resources or national income. Period.

China and these countries signed economic, trade and infrastructure agreements on the basis of equality with both sides putting their negotiators to work out the deals. Unlike the days of imperialism and colonialism when the white men just marched in and took everything, yes everything, with their guns. Any resistance or objection would lead to massacres and mass imprisonment.

How bad and how false were the white men's allegations and lies about debt traps and predatory lending? These, when compared to imperialism and colonialism, were like being invited to a free party with food and booze. Imperialism and colonialism were banditry, daylight robbery, peppered with killings, massacres and slavery of the natives. Now the evil white men are calling a business contract signed by two willing partners, negotiated without duress, as bad, as cheating, as unfair.

Who were the unfair cheats? Who were the robbers, the murderers, the rapists of countries and nations? Who impoverished these countries, robbed them of their national wealth and now crying crocodile tears to want to defend them and their wealth, if any was still left for them?

Stop the white lies and repent and cough out whatever you robbed from these poor countries. Go and rebuild these countries for free! Yes, you owed it to them. You white invaders and warmongers also owe it to China, to repay the war debt, war reparation, war compensation and indemnities paid for invading China and other countries. This debt must be repaid one day, with interest for more than 150 years, and the amount marked to present value.

This is the white debt the West, the imperialists and colonial masters owed to the rest of the world. Stop your hypocrisy and start paying back in kind and in kindness. Stop your wars of destruction, stop killing the Muslims and Arabs NOW. Stop all your abusive sanctions against other countries and let them move out of poverty. And stop spreading more white lies.

America is not a democracy but a dictatorship run by gangsters and warmongers, by liars and cheats. There is no equality and human rights as preached by white men speaking in fork tongues. Equal rights and human rights are only for the white men, not for the blacks, not for the Latinos, Asians and coloured people. Stop the lies, stop the deceit. Look at the mirror, peel off your masks of white supremacy and white dominance.

No one is going to believe in your white lies and hypocrisies anymore. See the real devil in you, the white men, the trouble makers, the murderers, the devils in disguise!

The new Singapore heading towards oblivion

The Situation Surrounding Foreign Talents

The foreign talent program started since 1980s have imported more than 3M foreigners into Singapore and converted about 1.5M largely from Malaysia, India and regional neighbours. The government has further endorsed their foreign talent program by using a new Singapore from Indonesia to sing our NDP. Whether the new Singaporean served NS or not, this is beside the point, the govt’s underlying intent is quite clear, the foreign talent program will continue and they will import and convert. I believe Singapore population will breach 6M before 2025 and heading towards 6.9M. As you can see, Hyflux’s was told to prepare for 8M.

My uncle had worked in MNC for 40 years and recently moved to a SME funded private venture and govt. More than 50% of the workforce are foreigners, a large portion are new Singaporeans or PRs. The management all non-local bornt. The issue is that they mostly do not hire Singaporeans, they hire foreigners. In one example, they hired someone from NTU engineering, they chose a Vietnamese scholar funded by govt and already a new citizen. So the whole company from middle to high management are mostly foreign bornt foreigners or PRs or new citizens.

Here comes some illustrations of the issues at the company. The Vietnamese new Singaporean was made head of design and paid near $10,000 a month was tasked to design new product. After two years, nothing was produced. The Indian PR a manager doesn’t much skills, wasting a lot of money buying materials in excess, there is something fishy there but no one cares. The Pinoy supervisor speaks very well but slacks at work most of the time and he hires his friends. The company was taking a lot of orders but could not deliver as this whole bunch of people were not really working, they are not focused and did not care if the company collapsed. So the investors and govt sent a team to investigate why the company was losing money, they sent another team of foreigners which are in totally different field. So this team without the expertise was smoked by the new Singaporean management. And till nothing had improved, they laid off people to save cost, largely local bornt Singaporeans.

My uncle said this has been the new normal in most companies, even the MNC he was working. Same issue, they import all kind of foreigners and the foreign population has increased to more than 50%. When this happens, they hire mainly foreigners or foreign bornt Singaporeans. As they have good jobs and pay, they convert to PRs or Singaporeans. Most of these foreigners are from third world, they are ill equipped with knowledge and skills, of course they are some good ones but rarely the case. This explains why the quality of work in Singapore companies has deteriorated to such extent. And if you call into Singapore call centres, you can probably tell the difference since they are manned by foreigners from India, Philippines or even some remote countries.

I believe this foreign talent branding is a cover to import third world foreigners and convert them to GDP growth and votes. Remember a third world Uptron Diploma not recognised in Singapore and the school had shut down was making $53000 a month and owning two condos. I had found so many foreigners who are having good jobs with either non existent schools or inferior qualifications. The question is why NTU, NUS and local degree holders were asked to retrain to be security guards or do low level menial jobs while these third world inferior work force are given good jobs?

The import of third world foreigners will never stop, the numbers will continue to grow, PR base will grow, PR is grouped as locals because having a big pool of PR will neutralise the exponential growth of local PMETs replaced by foreigners or unable to land jobs. The discrimination at work force is now becoming a norm and I had seen new Singaporeans fighting local bornt online and defending PAP. Some are getting very aggressive since their heads swelled due to the praises the govt heaped on them, they really believe they are talents and above locals. Of course they call these fighting as xenophobia but this is expected. If this has happened to other countries, people would have rebelled and walked on the streets.

Some foreigners are understanding the issue of non local bornt, even changed their names or remove their nationality from facebook profiles to pretend they are locals. We had a politician changing his Indonesian name to sound like local in recent election. We also had Internet Brigade has been promoting that Malaysians look and sound the same like locals. Yes. This is why more than 2M are in Singapore and 1M has converted to new Singaporeans.

The conclusion is there isn’t enough jobs for so many, this is why we are seeing many local PMETs plying PHV or self employed trades, forced out of their trades relatively young as 30s. This whole foreign talent scheme is just a camouflage, there is not much value except they brought massive people that fed GDP growth and the declining vote base of PAP. Foreigners are served local lunches and their forefathers did not toil and sweat like locals. Singapore workforce productivity and quality are in decline because of these massive third world semi skilled or unskilled labour, it is quite clear as things are failing more frequently than back in 1980s or 1990s. Looking at the floods, you know why floods are not once in 50 years but regularly now. The friction between locals and foreigners will grow exponential as more and more locals are discriminated, cannot find meaningful work or forced to retire prematurely from their career at young age.

As much as I will say, this scheme since 1980s will not stop, it will continue and the situation will get worst. Singaporeans need to mentally prepare to bite the dust since you voted for them.

The above article is posted in TRE. As a pioneer generation Singaporean, it is so painful to read what is happening to the Singapore we helped to build and now to be given away to foreigners in a silver platter. This is the new reality in Singapore.  The future of the original Singaporeans is bleak. This is what you voted for. At the rate it is going, it is too late for change. Now another 5 new years to increase the damage. Stupidity has no cure Singaporeans deserve this fate they bestowed on their children.

No body knows what is happening? Any MP raise this in Parliament or they are complicit to this state of affair?  Who is responsible for this shit?  The daft Singaporeans of course.

I have shouted until my voice is hoarse, lost my voice. Vote them out!  Alas, it is too late.

 


Covid19 - 4 vaccines on final stage trial, 3 are Chinese. Disgraceful Americans have none, NONE!

BRASILIA: A Chinese-made vaccine against COVID-19 entered the final stage of testing on Tuesday (Jul 21) in Brazil, where volunteers received the first doses of what officials hope will be a game-changer in the pandemic.

The vaccine, developed by private Chinese pharmaceutical firm Sinovac, became the third in the world to enter Phase 3 clinical trials, or large-scale testing on humans - the last step before regulatory approval.

Around 9,000 health workers across six Brazilian states will receive the vaccine, known as CoronaVac, in two doses over the next three months under the study....

Brazil is also helping carry out Phase 3 testing of another experimental vaccine, developed by Oxford University and pharmaceutical firm AstraZeneca....

Another vaccine, developed by state-owned Chinese company Sinopharm, also entered Phase 3 trials this month in the United Arab Emirates.

Studies published Monday in British medical journal The Lancet found two vaccine candidates were safe and produced an immune response in Phase 2 trials: The Oxford vaccine and another Chinese-made vaccine, developed by pharmaceutical firm CanSino Biologics together with the Beijing Institute of Biotechnology....AFP/CNA

In another AFP report, WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump expressed a willingness on Tuesday (Jul 21) to work with China or other countries to bring a successful coronavirus vaccine to the United States, despite rising tensions between Beijing and Washington.


Trump forgot that after all his wild allegations and attacks against China, would China still want to work with him or the Americans when the Americans have no clue about how to develop a Covid19 vaccine and still struggling to get their hands on this virus? Very likely China is going to tell this scoundrel of a liar to go to hell. You want to work with China or want to steal China's vaccine formula? Aren't Trump been accusing China of stealing American vaccine secret formula, like 5G when the Americans did not have any of these formula?

Now Trump wants to work with China when the Americans have nothing to contribute? Remember the space station project, banning China from participation, now China is going to ban the Americans from the Chinese Space Station. No Americans allowed in China Space Station. 

And China would work with Brazil and UAE but NEVER with the Americans to finalise this Covid19 vaccine. And the Americans would be the last to be sold the vaccine.  3 Chinese companies out of 4 in the world are in the final stages of successfully creating this vaccine. No American companies is anywhere near them.

China would not work with the Americans on the vaccine. Go and fumble and mess around with the Covid19 virus yourself and let the virus eats up the American population the way it is designed to do so, and with fumbling idiotic Trump making it easier for the virus to kill more Americans.

How come USA got no 5G, got not vaccine on final trial and still dare to accuse China of stealing their 5G technology and Covid19 data?  Stop lying you silly Americans. There is nothing to steal from you. You have nothing worth stealing. No body believes in your lies anymore. You are lying once too often. And that big piece of fat called Pompeo even confessed that he lied, he cheated, and he stole.  How to believe in the American liars? Your lying is a sign of incompetence, trying to cover up your inadequacy, no 5G, no vaccine but pretending that you have. LIARS!

It is the Americans that are trying to steal Chinese 5G technology and Covid19 vaccine formula. Period.

COVID19 PANDEMIC - INFECTIONS AT SINGAPORE WORKERS' DORMITORIES NO END IN SIGHT

After 4 months, the situation of COVID-19 infections is still not under control inside Singapore’s foreign workers' dormitories.

As reported by the Health Authority, there are between 200 to 400 cases on the average every day. This is not acceptable. It is taking too long to weed out infections inside the workers' dormitories. This will definitely spill over to the community once the foreign workers are allowed to leave their dormitories.

What does this mean?

Probable Answers:

1. The relevent leaders are probably taking it too easily or they still have no clue how to deal with it efficiently and effectively.

2. The Ministry for Health does not have any concrete viable plan to stamp out COVID19 infections in the foreign workers' dormitories on an urgent basis.

3. The policy could be to allow as many of the foreign workers be infected by the COVID-19 disease so as to achieve "Herd Immunity" on a large scale. If this is so, then it is not only foolhardy but also cruel and ruthless.

Whatever the reasons for the lacklustre actions, in the mean time, the workers are still being exposed continuously to infection and re-infection again and again, and are living like prisoners.

Even though many people have been reported "recovered" or "released from hospitals", their lungs and other organs could probably have been damaged beyond repair for life!

We know that only our liver can heal itself, if not badly damaged. However, all our other organs once damaged cannot repair themselves.

The damaged organs may not function in full force again and may lead to secondary causes of death in the future, unknown to the health authories or the sufferers/victims.

Therefore, it is wise not to let ourselves be infected by the Covid-19 coronavirus at all costs. Take all the necessary precautions to ensure that you stay alive in full health happily.

Never allow ourselves to be used as Guinea Pigs by any ruthless, unethical, immoral or easy-way-out policy formulated by unwise and imperfect men - politicians and scientists alike. We do so at our own peril.

May all be well and happy!
May all enjoy good health and longevity.
May all have the will to see things as they are.
May all stay in perfect equanimity!


The LOOP - July 2020.

PS. I would add a couple of comments to the above LOOP article.
The virus in Singapore are very well trained and very smart. When they knew of the impending GE, it held back its infection. The rate of 300/400 was the rate just one week before Nomination Day. When Nomination Day was announced, the infection fell to below 200.  And this number remained practically the same through the 10 days before Polling Day and lasted another 2 days for the winners to celebrate.  After that the virus said ok, time to return to normal infection again...and so we are now having 300/400 cases again.

We must all say a big thank you to the very clever virus we have in this island. The virus knew exactly what was expected of them, to let Singapore have a GE with little fear of high infection rate.

The second point about herd immunity. it doesn't work this way. If herd immunity is only among the foreign workers, they would not be infected, but they could still be carriers of the virus and could go around infecting the rest of the population that did not have herd immunity.

Is asking a question to clarify a perception spreading falsehood?

Dr Chee had asked the People’s Action Party’s Dr Vivian Balakrishnan if he could “categorically tell Singaporeans right now that your party has no intention of raising our population to 10 million by continuing to bring in foreigners, especially foreign PMETs, into Singapore to compete with our PMETs for jobs”.

Dr Balakrishnan responded by referring to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office that day advising people not to indulge in falsehoods. He added: “Let me state for the record. We will never have 10 million. We won’t even have 6.9 million. The government doesn’t have a target for the population. What we want is a Singapore core that is demographically stable, able to reproduce ourselves, able to create opportunities and jobs for ourselves and able to stay as a cohesive whole. It is not a target and it’s certainly not 10 million and you are raising a false strawman. That is a false statement.”

The above is from www.theindependent.sg

Is asking the govt to confirm something spreading on the ground amounts to spreading falsehood? This kind of logic is what I called, contrived power logic. It is only logic when you have power behind the person using it. It would never be accepted as logic but swallowed grudgingly by the hapless.

Singaporeans have been forced to accept this kind of power logic far too often, like the 200m ruling when inside the polling centre is not within the 200m radius range. Go ask a primary school kid and he would instantly tell you it is wrong. Forcing our children to accept this as logical reasoning is making Singaporeans more stupid.

Anyone using this kind of power logic in the kopitiam would invite all kinds of vulgarities and even black eyes if one is too stubborn to insist on it.

What do you think, tiok boh? Asking to confirm yes or no is spreading falsehood? Not clarification?

Covid19 - The irresponsible and reckless Americans must be stopped

More than 3.5m infected cases and growing exponentially. This is the doom scenario of Covid19 pandemic in the USA. 4m cases is just a couple of days to hit. What is going on in the USA? Many irresponsible and stupid Americans are insisting on their rights not to wear masks. Wearing masks is a violation of their freedom! What idiots are they?

The Americans are endangering the lives of everyone in this planet by their stubborn stupidity. What is is difficult about wearing a piece of covering over your mouths and noses? You are too poor to afford it? Or your stupid face is so beautiful and must not be covered up?

The medical experts are now standing up in defiance of the chief clown in the White House. Every medical expert in the USA is asking every American to cover up. Fauci has warned that this would become a catastrophe in the USA in modern history. There is no time left to be monkeying around and behaving like idiots.

The present testing rate of less than 1m a day is just not enough. 850,000 tested is the record for 1 day! It has to go up to 10m a day or more. The lack of testing, or the intentional refusal to test more Americans, will kill more Americans. This is a statistical truth. But what is making this testing a farce in the USA is that it takes more than 3 days to know the test results with some places taking more than 2 weeks. What is the point of taking the test when it takes so long to know the truth? The main purpose of testing is not just to confirm whether the person is infected or free from Covid19.  It is part of a process to help to trace the spread and to ring in those people infected by an infected person, to check the spread.

What is happening in the USA is as good as no testing. And this is leading towards a final shut down, or lockdown of the whole of the USA. Though officially the number of infected cases is just off 4m, the actual infection could way be more than 40m now.

The irresponsible Americans are not only a health risk to the rest of the world, they don't care. But more importantly, they are killing themselves by their recklessness and stupid antics. If the Americans are not going to take drastic measures now, the rest of the world would have to do it for them, build a wall around the USA. No Americans allowed to leave and no one allowed to go in. They can live happily there after in their own cocoon infested with Covid19.

The Americans must be stopped from harming the rest of the world in their stupid and irresponsible ways.

In the meantime Trump and his clowns continue with their lies about the Covid19 infection and continue to blame China and the American disease experts for it, even trying to discredit them.  The sad thing is that many silly Americans are believing in these liars.  America is a country of liars, with Trump the congenital liar and Pompeo the professional liar, making lying a profession, and a few racist and white supremacist liars in the several Jews that are dragging and pulling Trump along by their Jewish agenda.

The USA is the most irresponsible and untrustworthy country in the world, living on lies and spreading lies daily all over the world. They lied to the world, they lied to the Americans. They continue to sow discord, incite and provoke wars.  The rest of the world are not stupid and watching. The ONE from above is also watching and his patience with the evil Americans has worn out. HE is ditching the Americans for good.

The Vision of a Singapore MP - by SSO

My Visions If I Were A PAP Leader

Firstly, my vision as a PAP MP is $$$$$.

I visualise how to gain as many as 30 Director posts and make it happen. If each Directorship pays me $30,000 a year, I would get $300,000 more for 10 Directorships, and $600,000 for 20, and $900,000 for 30 Directorships. And I only need to attend one or two Board Meetings a year, basically I go there to rub shoulders, drink beer, have fun and talk cock. Easy money, no work at all.

As PAP MP, I also have the privilege of using funds allocated by the PA (People's Assassination) to me as Grasslooters Advisor for my own political advancement under the guise of improving my constituency and helping constituents. Easy money to kill two birds with one stone.

Further, as a PAP MP, I too have the honour to run the Town Council and make full use of the funds allocated to my Town Council for my personal political adventures and advancement. Easy money again. Same as above.

More, as a PAP MP, I can suka suka absent myself from Parliament sessions - which are only held 4 to 5 times a year. And I can sleep in Parliament if I am too tired because of my chasing around for more and more money for my own family's and my in-laws' families comforts and future.

And I only need to meet the people (MPS) once in two weeks, for two hours each. During these MPS, all my works are done by the slaves and running dogs. Even writing letters and posting letters to various Ministries are done by my balls-carrier side-kicks and cronies. I just sign the letters and walk around looking important.

And when General Elections come, I have NTUC charlies and RC grasslooters to help me do all the dirty works. I just go around shaking hands and put on a pretentious smile once a while for photo-shoots.

And if I have my own business firm or if I happen to work for Temasek Holdings or GIC, I would fight for more foreigners to be employed in my firm, or in Temasek or GIC. I visualise how much money can be saved by employing foreigners instead Singapore kpkb losers.


Secondly, as a PAP Minister. If I happen to be a Minister, "ho say leow"! I don't need to do any work at all. All my works are done by the civil servants. My Permanent Secretary plans and supervise everything. I don't even have to think. All my thinking are done by the scholars Think-Tank in my Ministry. Not forgetting the expensive consultants I employed too.

As PAP Minister, my vision is more $$$ - more than being just an MP. I visualise how to increase my multi-million dollars salaries and 15-month bonuses in various lucrative investments, especially in those that I have insiders information. Who is to know if I don't talk? Who is the wiser? Singapore has no whistleblower lah . Who dares?

Who says PAP MPs and Ministers have no visions?

Lee Hsien Yang - My father's vision for Singapore

Post election and a time for reflection. Following more controversies and personal attacks, Hsien Yang has been forced to open up, to speak up. Hiding in the shadow is not going to work. Just like China, tying its hands behind its back and letting the world's number one gangster country, the USA, to take pot shots and making wild allegations and accusations without doing anything, without hitting back, would not do. The little cronies are watching and inaction is a sign of weakness and an invitation to join the attack of the big gangster.

Hsien Yang confessed that he is a private and shy person and it is unusual, and for good reasons, that he has to speak up now. He cannot hide from the lime light anymore. They would not allow him to do so. His main comment in this opening up is about the vision of Lee Kuan Yew. LKY is a man of vision, just like his fellow comrades. They ate, drank and slept, thinking about how to build a rich Singapore for Singaporeans. I added this last part, for Singaporeans, Hsien Yang did not say it. But I think the pioneer leaders had this in mind, a good life for Singaporeans, not for foreigners. Thinking of building a rich Singapore for foreigners while impoverishing Singaporeans is treason, treachery, a betrayal. This is the key reason why the pioneer generations and merdeka generations went with the PAP and grew out of poverty to build a nation from third world to first world...for Singaporeans. I have to emphasise this as idiots and traitors would find this difficult to understand.

What are the new PAP leaders thinking? Do they have a vision for Singapore... and for Singaporeans? The last part is very important.  Singapore cannot exist not for Singaporeans but for foreigners. National leaders are not the ordinary Ah Beng that made it good, became successful and rich and thinking of how to enrich themselves and their families more, and enjoy life better from their new found wealth.

National leaders must always be thinking about the nation and the people, the citizens, not the locals, not the PRs, and the what nots that happened to be here. The rest are not citizens and not the responsibility of the SINGAPORE govt. They have their own govts to look after them and their interests. Did I make this point clear? National leaders that open and close their mouths talking about looking after foreign nationals, giving them good jobs, taking care of them, are traitors.

If they are the Ah Bengs made rich, please do so, with your own money, not the public's money. The public's money is NOT your money, just like the people's CPF is NOT your money to be used to take care of foreigners.

What is your vision as national leaders? Have you been thinking about it? Or are you thinking and dreaming every day about your million dollar salary, how to make sure it will continue to flow in and how to increase it tomorrow? Have you been thinking about how to look after the well beings of Singaporeans, to make them richer, make their lives better, give them good jobs, not to retrain them to become cleaners, grab drivers and security guards and bringing in more foreigners to take over their good jobs?

What are you thinking as national leaders, the leaders that the citizens voted for you to take care of them, not to take care of foreigners? What are your vision, squeezing more bodies into this piece of rock? Is this your mission as national leaders of this little island? Are you responsible for the unemployment of other country's citizens, and your vision is to solve other country's unemployment problems? Are you responsible to increase the population of mother earth when the conventional truth today is to cut down on population growth? What is the purpose of this island nation, to build more flats to bring in more bodies from around the world to fill them?

Do you have a vision for Singapore and Singaporeans other than getting rich for yourself and buying yourself a bigger GCB or more GCBs and not to affect the quality of life of your families?

Singaporeans, YOU will be the next PMET, to be replaced by foreigners

I trusted the PAP for far too long

After reading the article on “I am a Seng Kang voter” and many other articles on MSM, I had some reflections. For your information, I voted PAP all my life as I was having good job and pay. I never told all my friends who I voted, I pretended I don’t really care about who wins, as long as my estate is well managed and water still flows.

Actually I am quite aware of whats going on in Singapore, we are surely moving to 6.9M or even 10M, it will come. I believe that Singapore is a small country and we need more people to consume so that the country will become prosperous with GDP growth. Of course, I know whatever the government says or hints, it will happen and we citizens no matter how much we complain or do those feedback, they will still do what they want to do.

I worked for IT MNC, I was middle management. Over the years, the company had imported so many foreigners that now more than half were foreigners and most are with PRs or new citizenships. It did not affect my job, I collected by five figure a month happily. However, last year the management changed, CECA imported aka new citizen became my boss. And to cut the story short, that was end of my career, I was pushed to limits and pressure forced me to resign. And my replacement, you know better. I quitted my job believing that my knowledge and skills would easily get me another one somewhere. Days turns into months and I remained unemployed since. I used to think people who voted oppositions are those complaint kings who are lazy and instead of upgrading, they complain and complain; in my eyes these people are standard opposition supporters. I went to WSG and E2i events, for your information, they are useless for PMETs, they just want you to rewrite CVs or do some low level menial jobs meant for lower secondary education. Sometimes I wonder why experienced and knowledgeable PMETs like us need to go upgrade to do a low level job while these third world imports get high level jobs and live in condos?

This whole event changed my world and life. Like those sheep at CHC, I was in rude awakening, it took me time to reflect all these years of blind faith and voting PAP, the trusted brand which keeps saying, ”With you, for you” every GE and leave no one behind. I applied for jobs, most middle level jobs, you have at least 500 – 1500 applicants, many are foreigners, fighting for one vacancy. So I finally know what is like to be unemployed, I could not imagine how these foreigners are all here competing with locals.

This election, I turned against PAP, the reason is obvious. After many decades of voting PAP, this is my first time voting WP. I had blindly trusted PAP for too long, too comfortable with my good job and pay. I never really believed this 6.9M or 10M is going to affect me. Now I had to caution all the local PMETs reading this to forward to all other PMETs who maybe sleeping or used to having blind faith like me. If we do not stand up to PAP earlier, eventually we will be hit or our next generations will be hit.

The MSM largely avoided the harsh truths of why voters are turning against PAP, they are skirting answers because they want to keep us dumb. I only changed my vote after I was hit. I agreed with most of the reasons listed by Seng Kang voter, he got it right. I am one of the blind faith and I know many of us are fearful of repercussion or change.

Will PAP change? Honestly, it will not, unless someone new is going to take over and overhaul the system. The plan for 6.9M is certainly on, I believe they will pretend to listen but will still do the same. So the Seng Kang voter is right, we expect them to continue to import more foreigners and convert, redrawing boundaries, more CPF changes and blood sucking policies.

I had trusted them for far too long, and I am asking all of you who have not woken up to start thinking and till the next GE, we should all go out and vote oppositions to stop them from destroying our lives and country our forefathers built. Remember these foreigners did not build this country, they came in on VIP tickets, our lunches are served on them. So for the sake of our future and next generation, we need to vote more oppositions or end up like me.

The above post is from TRE.  Singaporeans, don't wait to be another Ricky Seow before it is too late. Wake up to defend your rights to good jobs in your own country. Don't wait till it is too late, when you become another Ricky Seow.

Don't wait till you are sold by people you have blind faith in. There are just too many Ricky Seows that have gone down this painful road. Do something for yourself and your children before it is too late.

White racism in Britain and the West



Jonathan Mok was a student in London UCL and was attacked by at least 4 racists in the streets of London. The incident occurred on 24 Feb 20 and only two of the racist assailants have been arrested, one to be charged in August and the other released after being questioned by the police. That one must have been so gentle on Jonathan.

More than 5 months have passed and the British police still could not arrest the other two assailants. Oh, London is a very big place and the super competent British police must have found it extremely difficult to trace and arrest them despite two accomplices were arrested. And for some racist reasons one was released and only one was going to be charged.  And can you believe what the silly charge was about? '"wounding or inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent" in connection with the "racially aggravated assault" that happened on Oxford Street.

Can you believe it, the vicious attack by 4 white racist youths on a Singaporean, look at the face of Jonathan, was done without intent to inflict grievous bodily harm.  Why don't the white racist police put the charge as the injury was due to their careless attempt to kiss Jonathan?  Fucking white lies.

The white racists would always find ways to protect their own kind no matter how serious was their racist crime. The white racist police that killed George Floyd is living in luxury under police protection. This is the kind of white injustice on non white people in their white countries.

Singaporean bananas must not be surprised that this would happen to them in the streets of London or any street in UK or the US. White racism is a norm in these countries, second nature. It is not like safe Singapore where white racists would think twice to commit such crimes against Singaporeans.  They would pretend to be nice and civilised when they are here, but their wild beast nature is only concealed temporarily and still happened now and then, and our poor taxi drivers often ended as their punching bags. And sad to say, these fucking white scourge would get away lightly and still allowed to stay in Singapore to work, to enjoy our safe city without being expelled. Only violation of Covid19 rules would lead to expulsion, not violent crimes in beating up taxi drivers and Singaporeans.  Oops, they are foreign talents and are darlings to you know who.

Would Jonathan Mok get his justice in London? I doubt so. What can Singapore do about it? Nothing except making some futile appeals. The only thing to hope for is for the virus to devour them to extinction.

Crimes against humanity - The evil Trump Administration


Is there an international agency that can bring crimes against humanity charges ,and bring the administration and agents at the border to trial? There should be. A Nuremberg style trial. Children died when put in terrible conditions at the border camps.
 
  Wish you'd kept a nightly count and reminded people daily of the kids in concentration camps
 
  Whether or not the separation of children from their parents was/is used as a deterrent, is beside the point. It remains a crime against humanity either way. Every single person, starting with Trump, involved in this crime must be brought before the World Court, and held accountable.

Never forget the names of these very evil people - they should never ever get a job when this terror regime did finish.  

Child separation' - kidnapping and child abuse.
 
  It is terrifying to me when I realize how many evil, damaged people are working for the white house administration...and that they are citizens of our country... sociopaths without compassion, moral compasses or an ability to feel remorse or guilt.. malignant narcissists who have one goal in mind...satisfying their own hunger for whatever...fame, power, riches...and right now they are scurrying like cockroaches through the sacred offices of our government. And many seem to be immune to covid 19... Go figure!
 
 
The rest of the world should start putting sanctions on the USA!
  This period in US history is going to make the US atrocities of the past look like child's play. Dump trump. Just saying...
 
  This is unbearable. How can a country tolerate this to happen? A whole government is guilty of such crimes? There should have been sanctions taken by the rest of the world against the US. Problem: the UN have their seat in NYC. If they didn't have their hands tied in their back, the other members of the G7 should have threatened to expel the US from their ranks. We don't have an international Court that works, that's a problem. 
 
  It is beyond imagination how cruel and damaging it is to separate young children from their mothers and lock them up; it reminds me of scenes seen in film footage how children were separated from their mothers/parents during the third reich. People who ordered this and people who executed those orders are not human but monsters.
 
 
It seems to me that in this present day and age being an American is a disgrace. Is this what our father's worked so hard for while fighting for freedoms?

COVID-19 PANDEMIC - HITTING THE ONE MILLION MARK IS SO EASY!


India added a record number of Covid-19 cases - nearly 35,000 - in the last 24 hours, breaching the one million mark, to join the Million-Infection Club with the USA and Brazil.

In order to hit the one million mark, all you have to do is to allow your people:

1. To congregate in schools, churches, mosques, temples, community centres, libraries, shopping centres and malls.

2. To go around without wearing masks and hug and kiss one another whenever they meet and greet one another.

3. To organize and participate in sports and sporting activities.

4. To not go for COVID-19 testing when the are sick and just tell them to stay at home for 14 days. Whether they stay at home or not, nobody is the wiser.

5. To allow buses, trains and other means of transportation be packed like sardines.

6. To allow infected construction workers to carry on renovation and building works.

7. To conduct Elections so that voters are forced to congregate and queue up at polling stations to get infected easily.

8. To go about telling everyone that everything is under control while in fact it is just the opposite.

You see, it is so easy to do the easy lazy things. But it is so difficult to truly and really keep the situation under control. It means a lot of hardwork - pre-emptive and preventive measures have to be taken; proactive decisions and actions instead of reactive, wait-and-see monitoring decisions and actions.

Proactive means you project and anticipate what is to come. You stop people from getting infected and die

Reactive means you keep watch and monitor, then take actions after it is too late - people already got infected and some are going to die.

So, are Singapore leaders going to carry on to be reactive, or it is time to start being proactive?

If you want to stop your people from getting infected more and more, then ban all Americans, Brazilians, Europeans and India Indians from entering the country for the next two to three months, until the explosive situations in their countries have subsided.

Do you have the political will to do it? Start working for your $millions pay!

Covid19 - Is it so easy to control the spread of the virus?

The idiotic clown in the White House is belabouring the point that China could have stopped the virus from spreading and getting out of China. To this clown, it was so easy and China did not do it. Could he do it if it happens in the USA? This clown did not know that by the time China knew how serious this new virus was, many would have been infected and moved out of Wuhan to other parts of China and even overseas.  It was an unknown virus, a new virus and needed time to be noticed and to be identified.

Compare to what hit China and how this virus hit other countries that already got wind of its existence, and some knowledge of how infectious it was, all the countries in the world had the privilege of pre warnings and by right should be able to contain this virus in a more effective way than China. They knew, every country knew it was coming except China. But China took drastic measures, criticised by the West, especially the clowns headed by the chief clown in Trump, condemned the measures as draconian.

Because of the tough measures, the lockdown of Wuhan and Hubei province, China was very successful in curbing the spread of the virus across the whole of China.  China was also able to limit the infection to about 80,000 cases in a population of 1.4b people. This is hell of a great achievement from hell of a great effort and efficiency in the Chinese medical and administrative system and political will.

Except for a handful of countries in the East, most countries could not contain this virus from spreading even with all the pre warnings and pre knowledge.  The most silly country in this pandemic is of course the USA. They laughed at it, called it a hoax, claimed that it would just go away like a miracle. Their failure to take this threat seriously is comical and deadly, and a threat to the people of the world.

If this virus is so easy to contain, if the Americans are so good as they claimed to be, why the more than 3.4m cases and growing at nearly 70,000 cases daily? What was clown Trump and his team of experts doing all the time? Should not they be doing better than China to curb the spread if they are indeed so clever? If they could not, not by any count, not near by any means, to control the spread of this virus, is it reasonable to blame China for not able to control it effectively and not allowing the virus to spread across the world? China today is opening up, almost free of the virus with daily imported cases of less than 10!

Or, as more evidences are appearing, this virus was all over the world in the first place. China happened to be the first to identify it and to declare it a health hazard. Thw world should thank China for it. And with more evidences pointing to the real origin of this virus, ie Fort Detrick, USA, Trump is making a mockery of himself to wanting to shift the blame to China.  The virus came from the USA, planted in China by American agents in Wuhan to kill Chinese and cripple the Chinese economy just like the unceasing number of flu epidemics hitting China with a high probability that they were hostile acts of the Americans.

It is right and opportune and just for the virus to spread like wildfire in the USA. It is God's message to the evil ones not to play with fire. It will burn the fire starters.

Stop blaming on China. The USA is the real culprit of this pandemic. No one is going to believe the evil clowns in the White House. Period.

And it is time to lock down the whole of USA, no one allowed to enter or to leave the American soil. Every American is now a health threat, exposed to and carrying this virus around. Countries of the world must ban Americans from entering their countries.  Americans are diseased!

China will support countries that are violated by the USA

BEIJING: China will support countries that believe the USA has violated their territorial claims, territorial rights and human rights in the USA and any where in the world.  China Secretary of State Kang Mei Guo said on Wednesday (Jul 15) but stressed doing so in multilateral and legal forums.

"We will then go use the tools that we have available and we will support countries all across the world who recognise that the USA has violated their legal territorial claims, human rights violation as well – or land claims as well," Kang told reporters. "We will go provide them the assistance we can, whether that’s in multilateral bodies, whether that's in the USA, whether that's through legal responses, we will use all the tools we can," he said, referring to the 51 states of America (USA).

CECA Indians in Singapore - Dumbfounded

Restrictions on Indian IT professionals moving to Singapore; Wrong to have total free flow of people: DPM Tharman

It's not just wrong politics but also wrong economics, DPM says at a forum in New Delhi
By Nirmala Ganapathy, India Bureau Chief In New Delhi, The Sunday Times, 23 Jul 2017

Singapore has been one of the strongest advocates when it comes to the free flow of goods and services, but there must be limits to the movement of people.

Otherwise there will be less push for businesses to be more productive, and "more fundamentally, you become a society where people don't feel it's their own society", said Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam yesterday at an economics forum in India.

"This is a reality not just because of (President Donald) Trump in the US or Brexit in UK. It is a reality all over the world,'' he said when asked a question about tighter restrictions on Indian professionals moving to Singapore.

Noting that a third of Singapore's workforce is already made up of foreigners, he added: "It would be mindless to have an open border without any policy framework to govern and constrain the flow of people into your job market. It will not just be wrong politics but wrong economics."...



"You have an education system that does not prepare people for the needs of modern economy, and employment legislation which is, in effect, anti-employment. And it's now a race against technology, which we all face," he said.

"The window of opportunity for labour-intensive activities is narrowing. I would say if India doesn't make urgent and major changes in the next 10 years, there is a real problem on our hands," he added.

https://ifonlysingaporeans.blogspot.com/2017/07/restrictions-on-indian-it-professionals.html

The first point to note in the above article is that Tharman could see the danger of too many CECA Indians coming to Singapore and the adverse consequences on Singaporeans. But not many idiots can see this and still wanting more CECA Indians and foreigners to come in to replace Singaporeans.  And daft Singaporeans voted these idiots to power to destroy their ricebowls, to make them jobless and into financial hardship to themselves and their family members.  How stupid can Singaporeans be? They deserve to suffer more with the new govt for the next 5 years when they bring in more CECA Indians and foreigners to make them jobless.

The second point is Tharman's comment that the Indian education system was not preparing the Indians to meet the needs of a modern economy. How is it that the idiots in this island look at the CECA Indians as talents or gods that we needed to replace our PMETS?  Maybe ours is not a modern economy. So village gangsters are regarded as talents and our city folks are idiots, unemployable and should be replaced by village gangsters.

Not being dismissive about Indian being a third world country or a dysfunctional country, is the Indian education system better than ours? If yes, we should send our students to India. If not, why are we employing their graduates to replace our graduates? There are some that are very good, and this applies to every education system and every country. But when plane loads of rubbish are brought here and treated as gold, then something is seriously wrong, not the CECA Indians, but with our idiots salivating for them instead of our PMETs.

Agree?  Who are the siao ting tongs?

The Deep-Rooted Culture Of Entitlement In Singapore by Future Kings

The culture of entitlement has taken a deep root in the Singapore society slowly but surely over the past 50 years of PAP reign. How did it all started? It started with meritocracy (rewarding and promoting anyone who performs well) that raised a few farmers and peasants onto the high pedestal of society, e.g. a washer-woman’s son was raised to the most powerful position of the land. After a few of such meritocrats attained high status, wealth and power, they began to think of themselves as The Elite Class, who are entitled to rule the country because they are the best thinkers and performers. After ruling the country for some time, they began to think that they are entitled to rule forever and so they proclaimed themselves as The Aristocrat Class, the Untouchables. No one can challenge them. No one can criticise them. No one should tell them what or how to do certain things. No matter what actions they take, they must always be right. Never wrong. Never need to apologise. They are now entitled to do wrong things and be considered as right. This is the epitome of Entitlement and the zenith of Meritocracy. It is now called Meritocrazy!

Even opinions are now considered as an entitlement!

Opinions are expressions under the article of Freedom of Expressions enshrined in our National Constitution. They are not entitlements. Every intelligent human being is born with the freedom to express himself or herself. This is Natural Law, not man-made law. It is power-crazy men and women who try their best to suppress and alter this Natural Law of Freedom of Expression and Freedom of Experience that has brought so much injustice and suffering into the world.

Entitlement, similar to privilege, means someone/authority gives it to you. Which means it can also be withdrawn from you if you behave badly or not in line with what has been laid down by that someone or authority.

The Freedom of Expression enshrined in the Constitution nobody can take back from you. Not even the highest court of the Land. Unless the Constitution is suspended and a new Constitution is drawn up and approved in a Referendum to replace the previous Constitution. Many military coups’ junta simply abolished the old constitution and replaced it with a new one. Never go through proper legal process. No referendum. No elections. No consensus. Power simply rose from the barrels of the guns. He who holds the gun holds the power.

The law of the jungle reigns supreme in times of disorder and chaos. It is the commoners who always suffer, always on the losing end. That’s why commoners are inclined to think of their freedom of expression as an ENTITLEMENT!

Future Kings

I have posted the above written by Future Kings.

I would like to add that there is something similar to entitlement, like I own this place so I dictate the rules for everyone to follow. This is an example of what a local bank will do when they called you for a survey or to find out something from you. After calling you they demanded that you identify yourself to them. They cannot tell the difference between who needs who? If I call someone for help, I don't ask the person to identify himself to me. That person does not need to talk to me or to assist me. And how stupid it is to call someone and still needs the person whom you already have the particulars to identify himself? What if the person say he is Lee Kuan Yew or Donald Trump? Who is wiser. But the mentality of those in power always take the position that they are in charge, your boss, and you need to comply and do what they want you to do, even if they call you for help. Singaporean mentality or some shit's mentality or mentality of people being in power for too long?

China must become more 'responsible', like the USA!

The time has come for China to play a bigger and more responsible role in the world, by becoming more involved in the national affairs of every country. China must follow what the Americans are doing to be seen as being responsible. China just have to follow the footsteps of the Americans, learn from the Americans and do what the Americans are doing.

The first thing China must do is to get involved, meddled in the domestic politics of every country. Put a finger into everything and stir up shit in other countries. But before doing that, let's take things one step at a time. Before China starts to poke into every country's domestic affairs, start cautiously with the USA. Test the water, test how it works. China could start by supporting the rights of the native Americans, supporting the the victims of white racism against the blacks, the Latinos, pass laws to protect and support these groups of oppressed Americans. Start to set up agencies and funds to work with these people in the USA.

The next step is to send its military forces overseas, to sail the seven seas to threaten and bully any country that does not agree with China.  Set up more military bases overseas, including highly toxic biological weapon labs in other countries, to be used as threats against any silly little countries that would try to be funny with China, would not listen to China, twists their arms to buy Chinese military weapons, forces them to take sides between the USA or China. This is standard SOP of the Evil American Empire.

As for internal insurgents from minorities, China should take a piece out from the American history book in the way they decimated their native Americans, by attacking them and spreading diseases among them. Once their number is small enough, allocate some waste land as reservations and march them into these waste land to pass their dying days. The Americans would not be able to accuse China of such genocides as China can openly quote the examples of the native Americans that were genocided by the Americans. The Americans did it, we are just follow the examples of the Americans to be a responsible country.

China can also set up training camps, use Chinese agents and agencies to support, train and finance terrorist organisations like the Americans and use these terrorist organisations against countries that are unfriendly to China.

China must be prepared and ready to use its military might to start wars and support wars. Only by doing so would it gain respect and fear from troubling little countries that think starting a quarrel with China is harmless.

China must be like the evil American Empire to be seen as responsible and feared as a super power. Yes. learn and follow everything the Americans are doing. Get involved, meddles and interferes into every country's domestic politics, support dissidents in the name of democracy and human rights.

The most important role of China would be like the USA, become the policeman of the world, to stop countries that ferment wars, incite wars, threaten wars, starting wars with countries using wild allegations, even fabricating false evidence. Such warmongers must be stopped to maintain and protect peace in the world.

That's the way to go. China would then be seen as a responsible big super power, like the evil American Empire. To be feared and to be taken seriously and no silly little country would dare to pick up a fight with China.  To be a responsible super power, China must do what the Americans are doing, imposed trade and economic sanctions on enemy countries and cripple the economies of these countries and blame it on the incompetence of their govts. For a start China should close its market to UK, Australia and Canada and see how long can they afford to attack China and be nasty to China. No investment from these 3 countries, no trade with them, no buying of their products and raw material.

The Americans have set all the examples and ground rules to be seen as a 'responsible' or rogue superpower. China's policy of non interference in another country's domestic politics is not well received and should be abandoned. Smaller countries respect super powers wielding a big military clout, not by being nice to them, by non interference. This non interference policy only gets disrespect from the smaller countries as a toothless and useless tiger and could be bullied. Be like the Americans, carry the big stick and see if any small country would still dare to throw their weights around in the South China Sea. Just whack the daylight out of them like a big super power should, like what the Americans would do, to keep troublemakers away.

PS.  To become a responsible superpower in the likes of the USA, China must be prepared to start wars everywhere, intimidates, bullies and threatens countries that it declares as enemies.   Being nice and not interfering in other country's domestic affairs, not fighting wars, is seen as being irresponsible by the lying and warmongering USA and its equally trigger happy allies.

Bilahari Kausikan - Finally Singapore has a very brave man

 Mr Bilahari Kausikan went on attack mode on Cooling Off Day, ferociously questioning Mr Lee’s intentions in standing with the opposition. Sharing a news article covering Mr Lee’s final election campaign comments, the retired diplomat wrote:

“I have two comments/ questions: first, you are a beneficiary of the ‘privilege’ you now eloquently attack. Why? Because you were prevented from monetising the property your brother sold you?

“Second, if you are really so upset, why faff around the margins, trying to cause trouble without responsibility? Your excuse for not standing for election, that there need not be another Lee in politics is hollow: what are you doing if it is not politics? Cowardly!”

Above is from www.theindependent.sg. No one in Singapore has yet to attack the sons or daughter of Lee Kuan Yew in this way. It was direct and point blank. What Bilahari was saying amounts to saying how could Hsien Yang, a 'beneficiary of the "privilege"' if you know what that means, 'attack' when he could not make money from the property Hsien Loong sold to him. Could he be sued for making such a statement? He is a smart guy and knew what he was saying and whether it was safe to say so.

Secondly, Bilahari called out the excuse by Hsien Yang for not participating in the GE as hollow and cowardly. Wow, this is a straight punch into the face, calling Hsien Yang a coward.

Now Hsien Yang would have to respond, or would he not or take it like what Bilahari called him? Another show coming up and this one is going to be hot. Even Tommy Koh also cannot tahan. Why would Bilahari take such a pot shot which is not much different from the pot shots he took against China in the South China Sea episode, speaking on grounds of high principles I supposed. In that incident he got off unscathed. He was very brave then. Now he is showing his braveness once again as the undiplomatic diplomat that he proudly called himself.

It is rare to find such a brave man, speaking out loud, in his own capacity, without any backing from anyone. He is his own man, a very brave man indeed.
