We are doing just fine
While
in the church, the pigs were at their usual selves, gorging at the huge buffet
spread. Napoleon looked at the table and at the other pigs and smile. ‘We are
doing well, exceptionally well. Everyone agree?’ The rest of the pigs just
nodded their heads without looking up, too busy feeding themselves and no time,
no interest in anything else. Their hands were full, their mouths were full,
their pockets were full, life was really good.
‘Oh
about those noises that you heard, just tell them to live within their means
and don’t over indulge in anything they can’t afford. Tell them space is a
problem and flats will be smaller. We need the space for another 5 millions to
ensure the buffet table is full all the time. There is no need to farce about
that. We will design the small flats so well, cost a bit more money though,
that they will not know the difference. In fact their quality of life will
definitely not be affected. And tell them to walk, good for them. A Brompton
bike is the Rolls Royce of all bicycles. Good for the bottom and riding on it
for hours would not feel the strain. The bottom will feel just as good and
happy. With such excellent bikes there is no need for cars. Advise them that
cars are too expensive for them. Tell them to be prudent. And make sure they
don’t squander away their CPF. Someone work on this, make sure their CPF
savings are put to good use, for their own good.’
Nobody
said anything. They continued gorging with the food, endless food and endless
choices. Life was good, damn bloody good.
Now
who is complaining? Anyone not helping themselves with the buffet or not
invited to the buffet only got themselves to blame, when the best will get the
best. From each his best and to each his needs. Some need more, some need less.

History repeating itself
When 14 Chinese landed in Diaoyutai, a Chinese island, they
were arrested by the Japanese coast guards. And Japan
retaliated by allowing 14 Japanese to land at the island to plant the Japanese
flags. And China
is as helpless as before, like in the19th and early 20th centuries
when Japan
violated China
proper. And what could China
do? The old China
govt protested vehemently. So did the old Chinese of yesteryears. That did not
stop the Japanese from encroaching and seizing more and more concessions and
land from China,
including war damages.
The Chinese govt and the Chinese people today are protesting
like their past govt and past Chinese over this recent incident. And the
Japanese continue to violate Chinese territories and refused to return the
islands they conquered from China.
History is repeating itself all over again. Would the ending be the same, with
the Chinese rubbing their backside and walk away, humiliated by the Little
Japan?
Protests have broken up in many Chinese cities to boycott
Japanese goods. No protest from Taiwan
and the Chinese diaspora yet. It is acceptable for Sinkie Chinese not to join
the PRC Chinese as the forefathers of Sinkie Chinese did not come from China,
probably from the USA
or UK. But how
could Taiwan
step aside and pretend that it has nothing to do with it? Didn’t it claimed to
be the govt of China
once, and didn’t it claim to own Diaoyu and the surrounding islands?
It would be quite different if Taiwan
and the Chinese across the world boycotted Japanese products like they did
during the Second World War. It would be better if the Koreans also join in the
boycott. The result this time would then be very different. Though China
is good enough to deal the Japanese a bloody nose, it is restraining itself for
the time being. If the Japanese continue their foolishness, this time China
should exact a replica of the 21 Demands from the Japanese, plus interests.
Would there be a worldwide boycott of Japanese goods by
Chinese around the world? No need to count on Sinkieland.
Another way to deal with the Japanese farce is to let 40
fishing boats from China
and Taiwan to
sail to Diaoyu. China
and Taiwan
would then send a fleet of coast guard ships to prevent those in the fishing
boats to land on Diaoyu, but land they would with the coast guard boats
doing a big wayang. But they must approach fully armed and ready for battle
with the Japanese coast guards.
A miracle happened
Yes,
I was told a miracle happened last week. Many were living witnesses to this one
in 2000 years event. I was told that someone died. Everyone knew about it but
would not say it out. But news spread like wildfire through words of mouth and
the new media, twitter etc. It was the biggest open secret. It was no hoax.
He
died and was resurrected on the third day! Then again no one was there to
witness the resurrection. Then he walked into a big party to the surprise of
everyone. And it put to rest all the doubting Thomases and the disbelievers, he
has risen and was seen by many.
He
is the One. He has come. The second coming is here. Go forth and spread the
good news. The One shall henceforth live forever.
