The making of another tragedy

The govt is going all out to convince the people that bigger and bigger population is good for the country and people, more lively, more alive, richer, vibrant and prosperity for all. And for the sake of this glorious future, Sinkies are encouraged to have babies for all the wrong reasons. The primary reason is economics, to support the ageing population.

When the reasons for having babies do not include whether the parents want the babies, love to have babies, can afford to have babies, it baffles the logic of any reasonable and caring man. How responsible it is to ask people, with no regards to their emotional and psychological needs and financial ability to go and make babies?

Babies that are born not out of parental love and needs but to serve the country and nation are simply the products of a tragedy, a misguided logic for their existence. And this tragedy or pain is hundreds of times more than the two years of NS and 20 years of reservist liabilities. The commitment and responsibilities, including having the money to give these children a decent life, start the day they are conceived and would not end till they are financially independent. What about those who are not gifted to struggle successfully in this highly competitive city? Who’s responsibility to provide for them?

It is not a joking matter that can be talked about carelessly. It is a very serious commitment on behalf of these babies that do not asked to be born. The govt are committing these babies by coaxing their parents, to shoulder the welfare of the older population and the country. Would anyone want to bear such a huge responsibility as the reason for his birth into this world? They are already indebted, heavily indebted to the oldies and the country. The oldies are waiting for them to be born to support them. They are not the loved child, to be born to enjoy living and to start life with a clean slate, but with debt already piling up for them. And the current generations are waiting for them to carry on their shoulders.

How tragic can things be? Who is going to pay for their growing up expenses and needs, and to prepare them to shoulder these heavy burdens not of their own doings?

Hillary the hilarious

While China is trading and investing in Africa to the tunes of hundreds of billions, and even offering cheap loans to the African nations, Hillary Clinton is lecturing the African nations to trade with more responsible European and American powers that respect human rights and democracy.

Is Hillary advocating for the return of European powers to colonise the Africans once again in their responsible ways? To loot these countries of their resources as if they belong to these European powers, as colonies, and the people as subjects of the European powers? Or is she telling the Africans that letting the responsible European powers back into Africa to hunt down the Africans as slaves for the cotton fields all over again?

I think the African slaves might be very thankful and grateful for the opportunity to be treated humanely as slaves in America and to enjoy the democracy there with all the rights of slaves. And they would get an education too, and later became Americans, and may even become the President of the USA.

The irresponsible China would never be able to do what the Europeans powers could do to help the Africans. They would not be able to take their resources for free to be processed and sold back to the Africans. They would have to pay cash to the Africans. And the Chinese would not be able to hunt and catch African niggers to be slaves in China, and to give them citizenship and protected under the laws of democracy and human rights 200 years down the road.

So sad that the Chinese are so irresponsible and could not repeat what the responsible European powers did in the past to the Africans as responsible powers. The African nations must be praying daily for the return of the white gods, the responsible powers that will give them freedom, democracy and education. It is so hilarious!

And the Americans are attacking China for setting up a military garrison in its own island while the Americans have set up thousands of military bases around the world for decades, in other countries. The question to be asked is why Australia, New Zealand and so many islands in the middle of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans belonged to the Western Empires. And why North America and Canada belonged to European powers? Compare them to China’s claim of islands in the South China Sea, it is like comparing a mountain against a mole hill.

The UN may want to hold a discussion and make a resolution for the return of all the land and countries seized by the used of military force since the time of colonialism and imperialism and western expansion and conquest of other native’s land and countries.

Would Hillary like to do another hilarious act and bring this topic up to the UN. UN Resolution 2012, proposed by the Secretary of State of the USA, that all land and countries seized by military powers to be returned to their native owners!

Inner Consciousness

This is a very interesting piece of rar art. It is a face that opens up right in the middle to reveal an inner consciousness in the form of a smaller face with one eye opened and one eye closed. Those who are familiar with the concept of the Third Eye could relate this as the third eye seeing while the normal eye is shut. This is one of my favourite abstract pieces.

1819 revisited

Doreen Everitt: "I'm not on holiday, I live and work here. And like most overseas people we are here at your request to make sure your country makes money from our expertise."

She also says:

"Your government brings us in to work here because you don't have the skills. Don't knock us because believe it or not there is more foreign money in Singapore than anything else. If we all pulled out you would be a very poor and lonely country. Be grateful that there are people like us willing to give up our country, our ways to actually come and work for you and your government. Singaporeans are not the most friendly of people to be around."

When the British came in 1819, they saw a fishing village. They were so friendly and helpful. They took over the island from the native and turned it into their colonial outpost. They also honoured the native and made them richer by making them subjects of the British Empire. The native were so happy with the recognition and new status, and more jobs to work as cooks and maids and suppliers to the British soldiers. Some were given the title chief clerks. Hell of a big deal then.

Then came 1969, the British were bankrupt and could not help the poor native anymore as they too did not have the money to live the lifestyle of the colonial masters they used to be. So they left, leaving the native in the lurch. And everyone will think the native will become poor and lonely and ended up like any third world country.

But the native did not become poorer and lonelier. The native turned the little trading post into one of the world’s financial centres and its native one of the richest people in the world. But for some reasons, someone told the world that the native were daft and needed the help of foreign talents to help them to build a better life and to give them jobs.

So the millionaire and half millionaire native are now being helped by half baked talents who believed that they are the saviours of the millionaire native. The truth is that many of the half baked foreign talents are poor church mice and average workers in their home countries, could not get a better paying job. Still they really believe that without them the native will be poorer and lonely.

Who created this silly myth? And with the half baked foreign talents and half baked minds, it is expected that they believed so. And sadly, the daft Sinkies also believe that they are daft and willingly give up their professional jobs to drive taxis and become part time agents here and there while the half baked talents look down on them.

It is like a new phase of colonialism. The foreigners came, they saw and they conquered. In this phase, they were invited to do exactly what the native feared and even built up a citizen army to protect such an eventually. What is happening?

PAP reinventing itself

More new faces and ministers promoted. The cabinet will look brand new if more faces are changed. Probably some skeletons would also be moved out and forgotten comes 2016. And with the liabilities gone, PAP would then be more confident when the GE comes around. By then, the PAP would be able to throw in a minister to any weak GRC to win the election. And with so many ministers promoted, there will be many more to throw around. If one is not enough, throw in two to make it heavier.

This new change is a shrewd move as the current batch of ministers is looking very feeble to carry any GRC under their wings. With promising ministers like Chan Chun Sing, Grace Fu, Tan Chuan Jin, Lawrence Wong in charge, plus a few younger Senior Ministers of State, there is now a new and exciting team to carry the PAP flag, full of promise.

Things are looking brighter for the PAP with this innovative change. Instead of cheaper, faster and better, it is like, younger, nicer and cleaner. And Sinkieland will have a brighter future to look forward to. This is good reason to celebrate the National Day with Love at First Sight.  Let the party rock.
