Singapore, banking paradise taken away by CECA

Below are some comments from C Soon Hock's facebook. More comments can be viewed at https://www.facebook.com/100003526877073/posts/as-a-veteran-in-the-banking-industry-with-nearly-40-years-of-experience-myself-h/3925172964276894/

This pathetic state of Singapore's development has to be said, spoken loudly, or they would think everything is fine, cause no one is complaining and they have their ears on the ground, but could not hear a thing. Some may not want these to be heard and may threaten those speaking up as being racist and may even pofma the writers and commenters.

The founding fathers fought for the independence of this island from self ruled. We want this island to be ours, to determine our own future, build our own dreams, for our children. After the hard battles to win this island from the British, it is ludicrous, unthinkable, that we are giving this island to foreigners on a silver platter.  The foreigners need not have to fight for it, need not life a finger, they are invited to take over this island and all that is in the island.

Come one and come all, Singapore is yours for the taking, Singapore belongs to you as long as you are here, even if you are not citizens. We do not want this island anymore.  We want to share our island with everyone. Everything can be taken, the island can be yours. Just come and take it. Daft Singaporeans would not mind. They are busy driving Grabs and trying to feed themselves as delivery boys and security guards.

Don't forget local PMETs have been through one of the world's toughest tertiary training. Wondering why they can't beat those CECA potentials.

Thank u for sharing.

Well said. I have always felt we are the lead in the financial industry in Asia and many parts of the world. But not sure why we still need the CECA.
Even our undergraduates have the potential to lead our banking industry to the next peak in Asia and internationally.

Jennifer Sin

Absolutely. And this is not just happening, it has been happening for a while. At first the IT sector, then the financial sector and now they are also invading the supply chain segment..companies in Singapore have their purchasing and supply chain departments all dominated by this nationality. Is it not something that Singaporeans can't do? And to make things double troubling for our citizens, some companies have HR departments managed by foreigners and they went on to hire their own ppl in HR who have limited knowledge about MOM policies n then went on to hire non Singaporeans for other positions. All they have to show MOM is a few resumes of Singapore citizens that are not suitable n justify to hire foreigners. It is so simple to justify hiring a non citizen now

Pictures are very meaningful and easy to understand.

 

The two pics are stark in similarities. The horses, cows, sheep, chicken etc etc were no where to be seen while they party and fine dined in comfort and luxury with the wealth created by the work horses, ie the workers.

A picture paints a thousand words. Nothing left to be said.

The Concept And Practice Of Ownself Check Ownself

 What is "Ownself Check Ownself"?

Ownself check ownself is oneself checking oneself in every aspect of human existence and human endeavors. No third party is involved.

Essentially, it is self-enrichment, self-glorification, self-indulgence, and self-protection through self-accountability.

In other words, it means no accountability and no transparency to the public, the masses, the citizens

Who created the concept of "Ownself Check Ownself"?

From the very beginning, this corrupted concept was created by people with corrupted thinking. It became a corrupt practice carried out by power-hungry and corrupt dictators and absolute monarchs who enjoyed unfettered power over their citizens or subjects, and unfettered total control of all institutions of government in the country in which they rule.

It is a practice that any conscionable, upright, moral and law-abiding person or organisation would never have acceded to, condoned for, or be associated with.

Why is it still in existence?

Nevertheless, the practice has been going on and on for decades, centuries and time immemorial. It has been left unchecked by any Independent third party because the power of the day has always ensure that no Independent third party ever existed. If it does exist, it has been existing in semblance and form but not in substance nor in spirit. So, without a third party to counter-balance the unfettered and absolute power of the ruling elites, the practice of ownself check ownself carries on without respite, and become part of the system of governance as if it is a normal and acceptable practice. And in a vicious cycle, it enhances and further strengthen the unfettered power of the ruling elites (dictatorship, monarchy or aristocracy)

Will it ever end?

In the end, this corrupt practice will lead to much suffering of the people, by the people and to the people. As the sufferings become too immense, too intense and too intolerable, uprisings naturally arise to challenge and topple the unfettered absolute dictatorial power of the day, with or without bloodshed, no matter how long it takes.

However, no success is possible without sacrifice.

Singapore Context

In the Singapore context, the self-check mechanism is subsumed into the overall governing system. It comprises:

1. The Judiciary,

2. The Parliament,

3. The Attorney General's Chambers.

4. The Accountant General's Office,

5. The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau,

6. The Internal Security Department,

7. The Public Service Commission.

8. The Presidential Advisory Council.

9. The Elected Presidency.

Despite all the above, however, there seems to be no one willing to sacrifice himself, or no organisation that is willing to sacrifice itself in order to topple the unfettered absolute power that the PAP enjoys increasingly over the last 56 years.

Moreover, there has been no critical mass, strong enough, to want to topple the present PAP government. But that doesn't mean it will not happen.

The deceptive CECA Trojan golden wooden horse has already entered the City, brought in deliberately through the folly of some local leaders. When the right time comes, under cover of Darkness (pun intended), the hidden invaders will show themselves and it will be too late for the local leaders and inhabitants to defend themselves.

Conclusion

The practice of ownself check ownself will lead to the ultimate overthrow of the unfettered absolute power as the citizenry becomes fed-up, awakened, more resolute, more courageous and more willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of the country. And, of course, when a critical mass is reached, either by the locals or by a mixture of foreign subversive elements and local traitors.

It is only a matter of when, not a matter of if.


SSO - 23 July 2021.

The Freemasons/Illuminati/Rothschild /Zionists Cabal & the 5Eyes Anglo-Saxons diabolical Conspiracies against China.

             The Freemasons/Illuminati/Rothschild/Zionist Cabal and the 5 Eyes Anglo-Saxons (  will now refer to as FIRZCAS  ) had plotted plans to destroy China almost 20 years ago.

Why do they want to take down China? They cannot tolerate to see a China under a Communist Socialist System of government  being too successful, rich and powerful that is able to outcompete the Western capitalist democracy in a fair level playing field and beat them at their own game under their own rules and regulations. They fear the Chinese socialist system and governance which is so brilliantly successful will be adopted by their ex-colonies of the Third World countries. They want to continue to exploit the Third-World countries to sustain their high standard of pompous luxurious lives at the expense of impoverishing their ex-colonies which they had been doing so for centuries. China has shown the way and the vision that besides the exploitative Western capitalist democracy system, a non-invasive socialist system can also help a Third-World undeveloped country to  develop successfully and prosper and get rid of poverty and foreign exploitation.   The Western capitalist countries have for the last 70 years since the end of the Second World War using their pretentious World Bank  and IMF giving loans purportedly to help the poor Third-World countries but undoubtedly the loans was a debt trap to keep these countries forever impoverished so as to enrich the white imperialists and at the same time to keep a permanent strangle-hold  on these poor countries that they will have to follow their dictates such as demands for military bases in their countries and political allegiance to imperialist West especially the United States.

The United States and its Western mafia gangsters have plans to reduce the world population from over 7 billion people to about one and a half billion people. The plan is to reduce only the non-white population in Asia, Africa and Latin America. They will use various ways to destroy these non-white populations through chemicals and biological means and lastly through a catastrophic Third-World War which they think they will win and survive. 

The Anglo-Saxons believe that after  the cataclysmic Third-World War they will build a New World Order under the Anglo-Saxons and Western control. But first they have to get  China and the Chinese people out of the way so that it will fulfill the white racist agenda of the Anglo-Saxons to have total worldwide hegemonic control over everybody else in a New World Order.   

The Freemasons...FIRZCAS held a secret meeting in London in 2005 to hatch their plan against China. Their plan against China and the Chinese was so evil, diabolical,  machiavellian and cataclysmic. They would first target China with a  biological weapon. They were working on a genetically engineered coronavirus that would only destroy Chinese or non-White races. The genetically engineered coronavirus would cause great destruction and reduction of the Chinese population in China. Then after the successful attack of the coronavirus they would later follow up with nuclear attack on many Chinese cities which would be catastrophic and cataclysmic. The Anglo-Saxons and the white races propensity for evil deeds, cruelties, atrocities, killings and genocide have no bounds. 

Their evil plan was supposed to start with a biological attack on China in 2008 follow by a war on China. The plan was then temporary shelved because of two circumstantial negative factors. First the genetically engineered coronavirus in Fort Detrick, North Carolina, USA got into some serious problems. Next the United States and the West were struck by serious financial disasters causing a severe recession or near depression in their economies that affected the whole world except China. The  United States had to appeal to China for support in buying more of their treasury bonds and not to sell the old bonds and to continue to support the US petro dollar or else the whole of US economy would collapse which would eventually drag the whole world's economy, currency and financial systems down disastrously. 

However, in September or October 2019 , US secretly planted the Coronavirus in Wuhan, China during the international military games. Had it not been for the competent and quick action of the Chinese government the Covid-19 could have destroyed  China.

The omnipotent Almighty One in Heaven disapproves the white race and the Anglo-Saxons practise of Darwinism where and whence they kill and destroy others for their own selfish survival. On the contrary the Chinese principle of help your neighbour and prosper your neighbour in cooperation to work for a win-win situation for the mutual common good, benefit and prosperity of everyone is is closer to God's magnificent kindness and benevolence.

God's disapproval of the white people's wickedness is seen in the backfiring of the Coronavirus to haunt them in their topsy-turvy messing up of the Covid-19 epidemic. The Anglo-Saxons and the white people must know 'Karma' is real and that "Man proposes but God disposes." As US and the West are in the midst of severe uncontrollable backfired Coronavirus attack so they again avoided imposing a war on China.

Below is an article from the 'Freemasons Meeting 2005....CV-9Teen Pandemic Plan which gives us some inklings of their satanic plan.                                                                                                                               

* There is a planned Third World War, which will be nuclear and biological. Our source believes that this is on track to be initiated within the next 18-24 months. * It is planned to begin with a strike by Israel on Iran. Either Iran or China will be provoked into a nuclear response. After a brief nuclear exchange, there will be a ceasefire. The world will be thrown into fear and chaos - all carefully engineered. * The extreme state of tension will be used to justify heavy social and military controls in all western first world nations. Plans are already in place for that. * During the nuclear ceasefire, there is planned to be a covert release of biological weapons. These will initially be targeted against the Chinese. As our source chillingly told us, "China will catch a cold". Biological warfare will spread further, to the west. Infrastructure will be critically weakened. * This is intended to be just the beginning. After this, a full nuclear exchange would be triggered: the "real" war, with widespread destruction and loss of life. Our source tells us that the planned population reduction through these combined means is 50%. He heard this figure stated in the meeting. This horrific scenario has been planned for generations. The first two world wars were part of the set-up for this final apocalypse - as is the centralization of financial resources that was precipitated with the equally well-planned financial collapse of October 2008. As if all this were not enough, our source speculates this is all set against the backdrop of a coming "geophysical event" - the same kind of event as was experienced by our ancestors approximately 11,500 years ago. If this event occurs - not necessarily expected in 2012, but sometime in the next decade - it would destroy civilization as we know it, dwarfing even the effects of a nuclear war."

The extreme evil and wickedness of the white race especially the Anglo-Saxons of UK and US will not go unpunished by the omnipotent Almighty One in heaven who will condemn them to suffer in painful agony and self-destruction.

Singapore, 5th largest financial centre in the world, has no talents in banking and finance and needed to import all and sundry from third world Indian villages

 

 Below are two comments by C Soon Hock and Philip Wen in the former's facebook page. I hope they don't mind me reproducing their comments as they are already being forwarded many, many times in Whatsapp. Both are veteran bankers that lived through the heydays when Singapore was the 5th largest financial centre in the world and Singaporeans were in the thick of things. Those were the days when banking and bankers were mostly Singaporeans.  Goh Keng Swee made it so, demanded it to be so. Singapore was built for Singaporeans not funny locals that are foreigners.

Singapore as a world financial centre was Goh Keng Swee's baby. Today, if he were alive and to read the following two comments, he would have jumped off from the tallest building in Singapore's Mumbai Financial Centre. The financial centre that he built for Singaporeans is now run by Indians from third world India, soon everyone in the banks, from CEO to clerical staff, frontline and backroom and IT would be taken over by the Indians. 

The world's 5th largest financial centre could not find any Singaporeans good enough to run the banks, even low level jobs, and have to go to third world India's villages, whose financial centre is lowly ranked in the 50s, for banking talents. And now the Ceca Indians having been allowed to move in to replace nearly all the Singaporeans are speaking through their megaphones that Singapore has no talents, not limited to banking and finance talents, and despising and sneering at the stupid Singaporeans that are now the taxi drivers driving them and their wives around town or delivering food and groceries to their new Singapore homes.

How did this sordid state of affair happen to Singapore and to the Singaporeans? Who is or are the imbeciles that allowed this to happen? Did they know that our founding fathers fought and built this island city state for Singaporeans, not foreigners, not Johnny come lately?

The two comments below are very painful to read as they were telling a very sickening chapter in our history that could only get worse and no way of turning back. Singapore and Singaporeans are gone and the foreigners, especially the Ceca Indians, are taking over, lock, stock and barrel, in a matter of times.

Anyone still wondering why xenophobia is raising its ugly head in Singapore?

C. Soon Hock

As a veteran in the banking industry with nearly 40 years of experience myself, having worked in MAS/GIC, Tokyo, New York, Singapore, top US investment banks, top Japanese bank, my own asset management firm, I can understand and agree to what is written below as I witness the changes in the banking industry here from 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and now 2021.

I am saddened and very disappointed to what has happened in the manpower area to our own Singaporeans.

Personally, I take it upon myself through these nearly 40 years to train and create as many jobs & opportunities for fellow Singaporeans especially younger ones into and in the banking industry with my limited personal time, constrained firm's resources, network, structure and knowledge. I am still at it as a thankful and loyal beneficiary to my fellow Singaporeans. I have spent millions of my own hard earned money on young Singaporeans and supported many and glad that some are holding senior & well paying banking jobs & some as skillful risk taking fund managers/traders. For many years my small firm trained, provided risk capital and paid 5 to 12 young Singaporean graduates each year and helped them to get a foothold into the industry, since 2003.

As Rcvd:

Philip Wen

I was asked this question about CECA. This is wholly my personal opinion based on my experience.

Are there sectors of our economy to which Singaporeans can contribute equally well if not better than foreign manpower?

The banking and finance sectors are where Singaporeans have excelled in. Singaporeans have worked very well with fellow Asians and Westerners forming an excellent symbiotic bridge thus establishing Singapore itself as a Major Financial center globally. We did this with only a sprinkling of expats with the majority being locally born and raised Singaporeans. During the 1980s, 90s and 2000s, we had expats coming in but not in droves. As a senior Trader in FX and Bonds, I actually trained many overseas Bankers who came to Singapore to LEARN from us. They came from regional banks throughout Asia including the Reserve bank of India! Our expertise in the Banking field has no equal within Asia including Tokyo and HK. This is because of our usage of English as the common language and the natural abilities to pick up new financial products which helped propelled Singapore into becoming the "Switzerland of the East." There is absolutely NO WAY that these "so-called foreign talents" in the past few years could have outperformed Singaporeans in the field of Banking.

I often visited Mumbai- "the financial center of India" to introduce new products and hi-tech trading platforms to their team of "experts". Some of these offices do not even have air-conditioning with open windows and floor standing fans scattered everywhere! The entire trading department has only ONE Bloomberg terminal to be shared amongst the lot of them! In TATA head office, they still use rattan and school chairs and desks as office furniture! During certain periods of their hot season, they have frequent power outages causing their internet network to crash and we have to climb up 25 floors. They don't even have their own dedicated phone lines. PCs and trading platforms need to be shared- each with their different login passwords!! Please remember that this was the state of affairs in the early 2000s! Not in the 1960s or 70s!!

How can they possibly be considered "talented" when the infrastructure they have cannot even support daily work activities?

How can they be "talented" when the majority doesn't even meet a foreigner on a daily basis to discuss international trading activities and financial stuff?

How can they be "talented" when their Indian rupee is tightly controlled and not traded internationally?? With severe currency controls, their FX, Equities, Bonds, and Capital assets are not even traded internationally and are out of bounds to all except local Indians.

Lacking in international banking and finance exposure and credentials in their own country, CECA Indians promptly replaced our experienced local PMETs in all fields of FX, Bonds, traders, marketing, back office, front office, compliance, risk management, public relations, relationship managers, investment banker, capital market experts, fixed-income analysts, anti-money laundering, HR, onboarding and more such jobs in the Banking sector. Jobs robbed from Singaporeans under the very noses of our "so-called talented" government. Nobody in the government actually did any studies about the Indians' suitability in these 126 professions before opening the gates to paradise!

Through CECA, they have leapfrogged our years of toil, banking culture, and sacrifices of generations of Singaporeans to take over the world's 5th largest Financial Center!

Meanwhile, Mumbai Financial Center is ranked a lowly "65" in 2020! Even Kuala Lumpur fared better at 47 despite the ongoing 1 MDB fiasco and government corruption. Mumbai - grappling with overpopulation, extreme poverty, corruption at all levels. Yet, they are deemed better than us in terms of talents.

CECA has in fact caused a " knowledge and talent" drain in favor of our Indian neighbours by providing them with a comfortable working environment. Provide them with very very high pay. Provide them with homes and places to enjoy this beautiful island nation. When their job is done in Singapore, they will simply return home and replicate what they have learned from Singapore. Meanwhile, our local PMETs serve them now as taxi drivers, GRAB deliveries, cleaners, security officers........

In summary, we created paradise only to give it away to foreigners.

I will stop here. I have to drive GRAB to make a livin

US accuse China of hacking but say nothing about Pegasus to deflect attention

 

42 million malicious programs detected targeting China in 2020, mostly from US and India

Many has condemned the US government on Thursday for turning a blind eye toward Israel's Pegasus spyware, while opting to smear China over the issue of cybersecurity with unwarranted charges.

The strong condemnation came after unusually broad collusion among Western powers to publicly blame China for cyberattacks. Those participating included the US, the EU, Australia, Britain, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand.

Pegasus spyware, developed by the Israeli firm NSO Group, could be covertly installed on mobile phones without the awareness of phone users. It is reported that the spyware targets politicians, journalists and businesspeople around the world.

The Pegasus spyware case once again demonstrates that cybersecurity is a common threat that challenges all countries around the world. Countries should join hands to cope with threats through dialogue on the basis of mutual respect and equality, but surprisingly, the US government, which always talks about safeguarding cybersecurity, has remained silent over the spyware. Instead, the US is busy ganging up with its allies to slander and smear China with unwarranted charges, which reflected its guilty conscience.

The US government was pretending to be blind to the Pegasus spyware, which was exposed as undertaking surveillance of politicians, journalists and business people, and some Chinese diplomats were among the victims, media reports showed.

The facts show that China has been a major victim of cyberattacks. China captured more than 42 million malicious program samples in 2020. The overseas sources of these malicious program samples were mainly the US, India and etc, the National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team/Coordination Center of China (CNCERT/CC) said on Wednesday.

About 55.41 million IP addresses in China were attacked by malicious programs, accounting for 14.2 percent of all IP addresses in the country. The attacked IP addresses were mainly based in East China's Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and South China's Guangdong Province, the report said.

Chinese tech giant 360 Security Technology said that the hacking group APT-C-39, which belongs to the CIA, was found to have been launching a series of attacks against China's aerospace and scientific research institutions, the petroleum industry and large-scale internet companies for over a decade. It caused great damage to China's national security and key infrastructure and personal information security.

The 360 Security Technology captured more than 2,700 attacks launched by 44 APT hacking groups from overseas, affecting 20,000 government departments and scientific research institutions.

CPF - Money for coffin, not for medical bills

 

Singapore — After being unable to use the S$46,000 in his MediSave account for a S$128 A&E bill, an 81-year-old man questioned if he would be able to even use the money to buy a coffin after he dies....

“Kindly note that we are not seeking any financial assistance regarding this situation.
I just hope that MOH will consider reviewing existing policy on the usage of Medisave during old age”, Mr Lim wrote.

 

Above two paragraphs are quoted from theindependent.sg concerning a 81 year old man unable to use his Medisave savings to pay for a $128 A&E bill, not some spurious and questionable bill. This is why the people are so angry and frustrated with the CPF for hoarding on so much of their money, supposedly meant for medical bills but more often than not when needed could not be made available.

Not many people live to 81 years and many in this category could die tomorrow and many did not have much money left.  The $46,000 savings in the Medisave could be his whole fortune. He could not afford to cough out $128 for the bill as he could be retired and did not have an income for donkey years.

And CPF conveniently, in its straight jacket policy, refused to let a man in his twilight years to use the savings for medical bills. What kind of sadistic policy is this? This is definitely not stupidity has no cure. It is deliberate policy that wants to hold on to the people's money for as long as they could. Many Singaporeans would die in poverty, unable to feed themselves in their last days, unable to pay for medical bills but with tens of thousands tightly grabbed by the CPF, money that belong to the individuals, not to the CPF unless we accept the silly notion that the CPF is not the people's money.

When is the govt going to be humane, fair and just, to return the savings to the people in times of need? Grabbing the money in the CPF at all cost, with no exceptions, even to sick and dying people in very advanced age is cruel and inhuman.

Maybe it is time to bring the issue to the UN as an infringement on human rights. No one has the right to take other people's money under whatever frivolous excuses, not money of people that may not live another day longer. 

The UNHCR must take note of this and address this issue as an abuse of individual rights to their property, and abuse of human rights in a so called civilised uncivilised country. It is inhumane, cruel, abusive, oppressive to hold on to a man's life savings in his twilight years. There must be a cut off age when all the money must be returned to the owners for them to at least enjoy a bit of their life savings before passing away.

What do you think, wicked imbeciles? It is a very unkind and cruel thing to do to deprive people from using their life savings, the money they worked for a life time, their blood, sweat and tears money and let them die with the money unused when it could make them feel better, live better, enjoy a little for a few days more, with their very own money.

Where is your conscience, where is your compassion?

PS. They often said that when they operated on a civil servant/politician, they could not find his heart.

Morally repugnant to accept risk of deaths or Long Covid for economic re-opening

 

Human Rights law establishes that the duty to protect life includes a requirement on states to take reasonable steps if they know (or ought to know) there is a real and immediate risk to life.

 

This cover government policy that rests on an acceptance that people will die.After all, the entire human rights framework was put in place to limit states from breaching rights.

 

This duty to protect applies not just to deaths. The severity of Covid-19, including the consequences of long Covid, meet this standard.If government policy can mitigate such consequences, human rights standards mandate that it should.

 

It is a breach of human rights standards and morally repugnant for politicians to cite "acceptable risk" for some to die - especially vulnerable old people - in exchange for economic re-opening.

Pegasus Spyware, produced by Israel under a "private" company NSO, is Spying on The whole World

 

Its advertising message innocently reads:

"World's foremost phone monitoring application designed to help you ensure your child's and your smartphone's safety."

A sweeping investigation conducted by 17 media outlets discovered that the NSO Group’s Pegasus software was used to hack into 37 smartphones belonging to human rights activists and journalists.

The phones were on a leaked list of numbers discovered by Paris journalism non-profit Hidden Stories and human rights group Amnesty International. The numbers on the list were singled out for possible surveillance by countries who are clients of NSO, which markets its spyware to governments to track their own citizens for potential terrorists and criminals.

Rich parents use the Pegasus spyware to spy on their children's activities and contacts in school.

MNCs and big private companies use the Pegasus spyware to spy on their employees.

Armed Forces use the Pegasus spyware to spy on their officers and soldiers.

COVID-19 Pandemic Task Forces around the world use the Pegasus spyware to trace potentially infected persons, by changing its name Pegasus to something else, eg TraceTogether.

Pegasus can extract all of a mobile device’s data, and activate the device’s microphone to listen in on conversations surreptitiously and secretly without the knowledge and permission of the owner.

The list of hacked journalists dates back to 2016 and includes reporters from the Post, CNN, the Associated Press, Voice of America, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg News, Le Monde, the Financial Times, and Al Jazeera.

In a statement emailed to The Verge on Sunday, the NSO spokesperson denied the claims.

“After checking their claims, we firmly deny the false allegations made in their report,” the statement continues.

The company is considering a defamation lawsuit, because it says “these allegations are so outrageous and far from reality.” This is understandable.

It would be exciting if the company really sues the 17 news outlets. Then more details can be obtained from NSO on its links with the Israeli government and intelligence organisations, as well as their modus operandi. At the very most the 17 news outlets might lose some money. However, the additional information obtained during the court proceedings from NSO would be immensely valuable for the whole World.

It’s not the first time NSO’s Pegasus spyware has been accused of being part of a globalised surveillance mission.

Between July and August 2020, the research organization "Citizen Lab" discovered that 36 phones belonging to Al Jazeera journalists had been hacked using the Pegasus technology, by hackers working for governments in the Middle East.

In 2019, WhatsApp sued the NSO Group, claiming that the Pegasus spyware was used to hack into users of WhatsApp’s Chat Service.

You should do more research into the Pegasus spyware and the NSO Group, and then draw your own conclusions.

The Cruel, Cold and Calculated Popularised Statement: The Benefits Outweigh The Risks

Oh, yes! The blood money is surely good by the crooks' standard. Every crook will say the benefits outweigh the risks. Otherwise, they won't be crooks.

Murderous Whitemen invading native lands and massacred millions of people, surely think that the benefits outweigh the risks.

The brutal rapists of India must have thought that the benefits outweigh the risks.

Bank robbers always think that the benefits outweigh risk, until they got arrested.

Those who visit prostitutes must have also thought that the benefits outweigh the risks, until they get AIDS.

To the money-making big Pharmas, the benefits of $billions from the sales of their vaccines surely outweigh the risks because they covered their arskholes by inserting a "No-Liability Clause" in their Sales/Purchase Contract.

To the cruel, cold, calculative and iron-hearted government leaders, the benefits outweigh the risks because they never think of their people as humans. They think of their people as mere digits. Therefore, the economy comes first. People can suffer or die from COVID-19, never mind. It's worth it to try out.

To those who aspire to become Singapore's next PM, I can visualise what's gone through their thinking when they tell us to live with COVID-19:

"I must be bold and daring enough to show people that I am the one they should choose as their leader to lead the country forward. I must open up the economy by hook or by crook. Some old folks will surely die. Never mind. Take this as collateral damage. The benefits outweigh the risks. No venture no gains....."

So, whoever tells you that the benefits outweigh the risks, do not regurgitate like a parrot. Use your brain to think for YOURSELF!

Think first before you copycat what others say.

Covid19 - Hungary and Serbia have Covid19 under control and living life as normal

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK4Sy4nqeho

3 countries have Covid19 under control, ie China, Hungary and Serbia. There is no need to wear mask in these countries. And they all used Chinese vaccines. So, are Chinese vaccines effective? Why no countries bragging about using western vaccines are able to do what these 3 countries are doing and allowing their people to live a free life without all the harsh and ineffective measures despite injecting themselves with so called 90% efficacy western vaccines.

Turkey, Egypt, Indonesia and a few other countries are also producing Chinese vaccines on licence from China and happily jabbing their people with Chinese vaccines.

On the other hand, the hate China western countries and their cronies are still smearing and trying to spread false and negative information about Chinese vaccines.

This is a 11 min video that talked about things that the western media would not want to say or acknowledge about the effectiveness of Chinese vaccines.

Living Harmoniously With COVID-19

The slightest moment you are off-guard, the Coronavirus knows it and exploits it to the fullest. You just can't be careless. You just can't be indifferent. You just can't be gangho. Let's face it, you just can't outsmart the Coronavirus. To illustrate:

On Saturday, 120 casualties.

On Sunday, 172 casualties.

On Monday, 195 casualties.

Tuesday, i.e. today's result will only be known tomorrow. I should think it would exceed 200.

Tomorrow is Racial Harmony Day.

There will be big celebrations everywhere, especially in primary schools and childcare centres.

These big celebrations will definitely make the COVID-19 coronavirus very happy. It is going to have an even bigger celebration and a bigger feasting!

After the big celebrations, the Racial Harmony will include Coronavirus Harmony. The casualties may increase to 400? This is called living harmoniously with COVID-19.

Stupidity has no cure.

The higher they are educated, the more stupid they become, where Coronavirus are concerned.

Still want the people to live with COVID-19?

Covid19 - Frightening the seniors with statistics

 The seniors are still reluctant to go for Covid19 jabs or at least a large number of them are dragging their feet. The govt is unhappy as they want to open up the economy quickly and needed as many of the population to be vaccinated so that when they put into action the living dangerously strategy of living with the virus, those that could be infected, especially the seniors, the infection would not be fatal.

So a lot of pressure is now being placed on the seniors to get jabbed. They did not want to know the real reasons why the seniors are reluctant to do so. It is not just a matter of the seniors not trusting the mRNA vaccines. It is much simpler than that. It is hurting the pockets of many seniors, many retired, jobless, and have little money left in their pockets. How could the govt ever think of the seniors with empty pockets going to pay $50 for two jabs in the private clinics? And to make the seniors angrier, the rest of the population are getting free jabs of more expensive mRNA vaccines. If the govt is willing to give more expensive vaccines for free, why won't the govt give the cheaper Sinovac vaccines free to the poor, no money seniors and desperately wanting the seniors to get their jabs?

The KTV and Jurong Fishery Port clusters now present a golden opportunity for the govt to frighten the seniors, that they are more vulnerable and using statistics to prove their case. 81 seniors were infected and 12 were unvaccinated. Wow, big numbers.

Really? When using statistics, the statistics must be meaningful and not lying. To date, 519 cases were reported from this group out of which 81 were seniors. This says that only 15.6 % of the infected were seniors and  84.4% were not seniors. Now what is so troubling about the seniors when the majority infected, 84.4% were below 60? Many much fewer seniors were infected.

Also, of the 81 seniors infected, only 12 were unvaccinated, or only 14.8% of the infected were not vaccinated and a huge 85.2% of the seniors infected were vaccinated. Can one come to the conclusion that more vaccinated seniors were infected and thus getting vaccinated did not lower the risk of getting infected, in fact the risk of getting infected were higher than those not vaccinated. Similarly, the risk of younger people getting infected is very much higher than the seniors.

So why keep harping about seniors not getting jabs when the likelihood of them getting infected is much, much lower than the younger people? And why getting jab is so important and urgent when people who were vaccinated have actually a higher chance of getting infected?

Of course there are other factors that have to be taken into consideration, and also getting infected after being jabbed would likely to be less deadly.

The statistics did not show much advantage for the seniors to be vaccinated as the risk of being infected against the young and the vaccinated is actually lower even without being vaccinated. This is what the statistics said.

By the way, when is the govt going to make Sinovac free for the poor seniors so that they can get their jabs quickly? Why keep barking at the wrong tree? CB!

Covid-19 Singapore: Towards A Future Of No Future

The fact is that the millionaire Ministers can afford to play-play with the coronavirus and the lives and health of the people, but we the masses cannot afford to play-play with the coronavirus and our own lives and children's future.

Another fact is that the Multi-Ministry Task force, comprising people who have been on the fast-track of good and easy life all their life, is running out of ideas, patience and competence and two of them are in the running for the position of the 4G Prime Minister. These two factors might have driven them to desperation and despair. During such challenging and demanding time, the pseudo leaders are easily exposed by their inability to hold their nerves and their tendency to give up easily.

Yet another fact is that after spending $100 billion or more, the economy is still not looking good for all of us, though the government has gone ahead to reward the civil service and the Ministers with bonuses based on last quarter's GDP report. So, it is very likely that they could be looking forward to more self-rewards by opening up the economy hastily and prematurely.

Another fact is that their open-and-shut measures in the last 18 months of the Pandemic have made them looked like fools and a laughing stock. So, they could have decided that enough is enough and decide to open up for business once and for all, like the conceited, egoistic psychopath Dotard Trump.

To the Ministers, it is living with the Coronavirus.

To some of us, it is living dangerously with and suffering from the coronavirus.

To yet another group of us, it could be dying, not living, with the coronavirus.

Therefore, it is not so easy to say the new normal is normal. It is, in fact, for all intent and purposes, abnormal!

This new normal is not conceived by new people. It is conceived by the same group of people who has been flip-flopping several times. So how can it be new?

This new normal is not thought out by normal people. It is thought out by extraordinary people. So how can it be normal?

We are, therefore, being led by extraordinary people into an extraordinary situation, whereby we may live or die with the coronavirus. There's no certainty.

Going forward, our future is very doubtful and uncertain. As a people, we may be ostracized as outcasts, being feared everywhere we go, and avoided by others like lepers.

That is the extraordinary situation we shall face in the future of no future.

Foreign workers - Lee Kuan Yew saw the problems and responsibilities to Singaporeans

 

This was posted by Lim Tean in TRE.  Lee Kuan Yew could see the problems and understood his responsibilities to Singaporeans.

What about the imbeciles?

Malaysia is a good example and a painful reminder of what would happen when you lose political power. You will not have any right to exist and would be dumped and bullied, and all opportunities would be removed from you. The 4G PM potential would not be potential if the Chinese lose their majority in Singapore. They would not even be good enough to be an PM. Remember that and stop being foolish. 

All the top positions would be reserved to the new majority. What is happening today in Singapore when the minorities are appointed to top positions in excess of their numbers, over represented, is an anomaly due to the generosity of the Chinese majority and in a sense naiveity. 

When a less generous ethnic group becomes the majority, would they be as generous as the Chinese or would they do a Malaysia? Look at how whole villages were brought in to replace the Singaporean PMETs is an ominous sign of things to come. What is happening in Chennai Business Park and Mumbai Financial Centre should send a chill down your spine. There could be Chennai Business Parks and Mumbai Financial Centres all over the island.

Be awaken to the challenges and dangers of what might be coming around the corner and be proactive to protect from the harm that could change your life and the lives of your children and grand children. Do not think and act like the imbeciles and let Singapore go down the road to destruction and oblivion.

Living Dangerously And Dying Happily With Covid-19 In Singapore

By changing the term Pandemic to Endemic, we can live dangerously and die happily with the Covid-19 in our midst. This is the new normal spelt out by Three Wise Men, sent by God to Singapore, to help His Son tackle the Covid-19 Pandemic easily, without sweat.

In order to illustrate to the gentiles how to live happily with Covid-19, God keeps increasing the number of infected persons everyday, from the ports of arrival to the happy night joints, and from the happy night joints to the markets, food courts and fishery port.

From just a handful to 20, to 30, to 40, to 60, to 80, to 92, to 120 and to an additional 172 cases of COVID-19 in Singapore yesterday.

Those people have picked up the cue from the Three Wise Men very quickly. They have been living it up with the Covid-19 day and night without any respite nor restrain. They are very fast learners. They are the gangho ones. They are the street-smart ones.

They are very keen to help grow the GDP for the country. They are the loyal and model citizens that the Mafias, oops I meant Ministers, can depend upon.

They helped to bring the total number of infected cases to 63,245 and counting. They definitely deserve to be awarded a medal each for their outstanding service to the nation this coming National Day.

Out of the 172 cases, there are 163 new locally transmitted COVID-19 infections. According to MOH, 106 of these are linked to the Jurong Fishery Port cluster and 19 belong to the KTV cluster. According to my common sense, all these are interlinked to one another in a huge happy family. All of them are impregnated and carrying offsprings produced by one single Type Delta Variant of the Covid-19, probably from India.

Of the 163 cases, 66 are linked to previous cases, 71 have been detected through surveillance and 26 are not traceable to any infected person. This is just a small initial demonstration of how to live with Covid-19.

Moreover, there are 9 new happily imported cases. The country from which they have come from is a closely guarded secret that the daft Singaporean public should not know. Otherwise, they may turn racist or turn amok.

4 of the 9 happily imported infected persons were detected upon arrival in Singapore. The other 5 were only detected after they have developed the symptoms of the disease, while they were already inside Singapore. This is another aspect that shows you what living with the Covid-19 is all about.

According to last night’s news, 243 cases are currently warded in hospital. Most are learning how to live dangerously with the Covid-19.

There are five cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation, and one in critical condition in the intensive care unit. None amongst these six cases is fully vaccinated. They are learning to die with the Covid-19.

It is such a wonderful experience to live, to suffer and to die with the Covid-19. This Singapore model of the Three Wise Men must be recommended to the rest of the World.

The Three Wise Men must be recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize!

Covid19 - The bad news is...

Last month (24 Jun), ministers Gan Kim Yong, Lawrence Wong and Ong Ye Kung drew a new roadmap for Singaporeans to live with Covid-19. They want Singaporeans to deal with Covid-19 as part of their daily lives.

That is to say, people will go to work, travel and shop without quarantines and lockdowns, even with the coronavirus in their midst.

With enough people vaccinated, Covid-19 will be managed like other endemic diseases such as the common flu, said the three ministers, who co-chair the multi-ministry task force on Covid-19.

“The bad news is that Covid-19 may never go away. The good news is that it is possible to live normally with it in our midst,” they said. “Our next milestone will be to have at least two-thirds of our population fully vaccinated with two doses around National Day.”

Above from the correspondent and posted in TOC.

Is is a good idea to drop all restrictions and live like normal, no quarantines, no lockdowns, no masks. The US and UK are advocating this.  Since they are unable to control the virus, just jab as many as possible and try to live with the virus. Australia is a funny exception.  They have the virus quite under control and would still resort to lockdowns and restrictions to control the virus and not allowing it to spread or admit defeat and have to live with the virus. Countries that are relatively successful in curbing the spread would not want to let go and live with the virus.

So there will be two camps with two different views and thoughts on how to deal with and live with the virus. One choosing to live dangerously with the virus and another saying no way. The good news is that all the countries that have failed to control the virus would want to live dangerously with the virus.  So Singapore would have many friends like the US, UK and India to be sleeping partners.

The bad news is that countries that are successful in controlling the virus would close their doors to Singaporeans who want to live with the virus. They may ban Singaporeans and SIA from flying into their countries.

Then what? Some may want to live dangerously and some may not. The world would be divided into two camps, the everything goes camp and another camp that says, no way, stay away from us. How many would like to join Singapore to live with the virus? I can count on US, UK and India to live dangerously and happily. Just open the door wide wide, Singapore's favourite style.

The latest spread in KTVs and Jurong Fish Market is a good opportunity to live with the virus. No need to panic, no need to clamp down, just let it be and live as if nothing has happened.

What do you think?

And the bad news is, don't pray, pray with this virus. It is too unpredictable and very challenging and can be very deadly.

What A Wise Prime Minister Like Lee Kuan Yew Would Do

Deployment of Ministers: What A Wise Prime Minister Like Lee Kuan Yew Would Do If He Arises From The Dead

Our first Prime Minister, Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, during his tenure as the PM, did not even allow one particular person to hold any important appointment. Let alone a ministerial position. That person was put in a back-bencher, ordinary MP position for at least ten years. From 1988 to 2005?

Yet today, one person has been trusted so much until he has been allowed to hold two very important, sensitive and powerful ministerial positions concurrently! Not only that, he has also been allowed to hold the two positions for such a long period of time continuously, while other ministers have all been reshuffled and rotated, some even moved three or four times.

Unbelievable! Shocking! Even sickening! Someone is very sick?

It just doesn't make any sense. Something is definitely not right. What is it? Someome has been unduly influenced into submission, under duress?

For the purpose of national security and national interests, the two important, sensitive and powerful positions should never be held by one person. Period.

From common sense, having one person controlling the Attorney General's Chambers, the Judiciary and the Overall Legal System, combined with the Police Force, the police intelligence unit, CID, internal security, customs and immigration is too risky and dangerous because that one person will become too powerful. When the two ministries are combined into one hand, that hand becomes an indestructible iron hand. And the person who owns that iron hand becomes the indestructible Iron Man.

A wise Prime Minister would never allowed such a thing to happen.

A wise Prime Minister would immediately suspect something is amiss if one of his ministers even uttered, suggested or wished to be given any of the two powerful ministries. Let alone both of them.

A wise Prime Minister would rather have two separate persons, unconnected by relations or business, to head the two powerful ministries separately, for the simple reason that he can draw upon two persons for advice instead of only one, in times of need. Thereby giving him the availability and option of a second opinion, instead of one that might be faulty, inappropriate or even sinister. Therefore, detrimental to his Premiership, National Security or the Citizens' interests.

If it has already happened, the wise Prime Minister does not need to think hard and long in order to remedy the situation and put it back into proper perspective, in his personal interests and in the interests of the people, the country and the Nation!

So, think wisely and act prudently.

The Familial Ties Lane Or Backlane?

 Many Singaporeans are unaware of the strange sounding scheme devised by the Immigration officials from the Home Affairs Ministry.

Law & Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam explained in Parliament in February this year that those allowed to enter under the scheme include those “reuniting SCs and PRs with their foreign family members or spouses-to-be who may otherwise be stranded overseas.

Under this scheme, non-residents may also seek entry to Singapore for compassionate reasons such as family bereavements.

The powerful and impressive double port-folio Minister had given an impression that such a scheme is strictly controlled, and entry is confined to only the very minimum necessary.

If the scheme applies to family members and “spouses-to-be”, and those of urgent needs, why then allowed a Vietnamese (hostess) sponsored by her "boyfriend" to enter Singapore under the Familial Ties Lane?

Enabling boyfriends (or pimps) to bring in their foreign girlfriends (or prostitues) to work in KTV nightclubs during a pandemic, when entry rules are being tightened, may be seen as an incongruous and contradictory action / policy. It certainly makes the Familial Ties Lane looks like a Backlane. Isn't it?

To our common sense, the case of a Vietnamese "girlfriend" (or prostitue) entering Singapore to work as hostess in a KTV nightclub, sponsored by her Singapore "boyfriend" (or pimp) is a clear abuse of the scheme. This has to be checked.

Does the left hand of the law (Ministry of Law) knows the right hand of law (Ministry of Home Affairs) in the implementation of this scheme?

Professor Richard Wolff - The challenge of China

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpD0Im5d9-c

A very methodological approach to the challenge of China from a historical and economic perspective, minus the ideological and political bickering of the Cold War mentality of American politicians.

The video is 55 mins long but the main topic on the challenge of China starts at about 20 mins into the tape. The earlier part dealt with American political history and the challenges and approaches to the economic crisis faced by Roosevelt and Biden.

Professor Wolff made his discussion very clear and precise and easy to understand without the nuances and distractions of main stream American politics and looked at China as what it is and how China overcame its enormous problems of poverty and becomes an economic growth model for the rest of the world...from poverty to moderately properous, without American or western aid that came with strings attached to keep the third world recipients forever remaining in the third world.

Prof Wolff's delivery style is very powerful and captivating and refreshing.

Watch it and get some fresh air.
