There have been many comments telling foreigners to become citizens, to
be one of us, to do NS etc etc. This is not much different from being
invited by a prostitute to become another prostitute in a whore house.
Our citizenship is so cheap, so shameless and unworthy, to be given away
to anyone freely.
Isn’t citizenship, to be the citizens of a prosperous, safe and rich
country something valuable? We are now saying anyone can come and be one
of us. Some Sinkies even begged foreigners to be one of us. How cheapo
can we be? Our citizenship is actually one of the most highly sought
after item among the citizenships of developed countries. And silly
Sinkies are treating it like a piece of toilet paper, like the pink (or
is it yellow) card of prostitutes? Come, come, come and get it.
The other stupid thing that I am hearing is that anyone can come and
serve in our military? Do we know who that person is, what is his
agenda, where is his loyalty, and what he can do to the military secrets
that he will be exposed to? Do we trust any stranger with our military
secrets? Are we so trusting and gullible like prostitutes? Anyone can
come here and screw us? Oops, my apologies to the prostitutes. I think
the prostitutes are much smarter streetwise and they don’t offer
themselves for free.
For goodness sake, Sinkies, have some pride in yourself, in your country
and the citizenship. Be proud of them and treasure them and not to give
them away like freebees. Stop behaving like prostitutes, with no pride,
no identity, no values, except thinking of money.
Our citizenship does not come only with the right to be a citizen and
the right to work here. It comes with a lot of perks and substantial
monetary values. Getting our citizenship is like striking lottery to
many. The HDB flats will bring them instant profit in hundreds of
thousands of dollars should they sell it latter. And the innumerable
subsidies in education, in national bonuses, angpows, subsidies for
hospitalization, for conservancy charges, top up of Medisave etc etc,
these are all real monies.
How silly can Sinkies be?
Foreigners should remain foreigners, at most PRs without the same
privileges as Sinkies. And only foreigners that met our criteria of what
we want may only be granted citizenship. Now we are flooded with all
kinds of flotsams floating in the seas. Is that what we want?
We have louts, touts and thugs. I just viewed the video clip of the
Ah Tiong threatening a Sinkie in the train. Do we need such aggressive
country bumpkins of the 19th century? Maybe there is a reason to import
such uncouth peasants to boost our dying and degenerating genes of
Pampered, Meek, Effeminate and Timid Sinkies.
Sinkies need to be
assaulted, beaten, chased around by foreigners, to be yelled at in their
own country. The Ah Tiong would not see the daylight if he is in any
country where the citizens have some pride in themselves and believe
that foreigners have to know their place in their country. In this Sin
City, foreigners are here to kick the locals around.
Yes, make more of such talented peasants as our citizens and we will have a more gracious society, with nice people around.

The cursed Singaporeans – Part 3
This group needs no introduction or explanation. They are the so called
Pampered, Mediocre, Expensive and Timid jobless Singaporeans. Very
qualified, very experienced, some still fairly young, but cannot find
employment in their home city that employed more than 1 million
foreigners, because they are Singaporeans.
They can only fend for themselves by trying to be self employed in jobs that amount to under employment relative to their qualifications and experience. Many still have responsibilities to support children, family and parents and a mortgage to service. They must be cursing for wasting money and time getting that degree or diploma that they don’t need as a taxi driver.
This is what the saying goes, 吃不饱饿不死, eat not full but not hungry enough to die. And they have, yes, 30 or 40 years to be in this state of limbo. All their qualifications and experience going to waste!
Think carefully and don’t turn away. In this very expensive city when everything needs money, to go on in life without a proper job or income for 30 or 40s is no joking matter. We could be seeing a revolt of the silver hair, or seeing many of them turning into beggars if things are not changed. No job, no money, no savings, no children or children unable to help, all struggling to keep themselves alive.
And many are now faced with a more frightening and real situation, finding enough money to pay for a medical insurance they don’t need, did not want, cannot afford to pay, but it is compulsory for life man! There is no running away. Are they expected to pay for life? Yes, paying an insurance scheme for life! So many idiots could not see the implications of this paying for life thing.
By the time they are 70 or 80 they would not have a single cent left in their Medisave Account, not even in their CPF account, except those that are mandatorily held back by legislation or arbitrarily decided by their keepers.
The oldies are going to need a lot more money to live on as they grow older and older. Is this real? Can this be true? Only the destitute in the charity homes or those abandoned can be exempted from paying.

Medishield Life – What affordability?
The unthinking Sinkies are behaving like sheep without a mind of their
own. The agenda has been set and all have dutifully following the cue to
talk about affordability. They have forgotten that affordability is
worse that a four letter word when misused or abused. What is affordable
to a king is not affordable to a pauper. So they are all hoping that
Medishield Life premiums for the oldies and the grand oldies will be
affordable. Is there such a thing?
The few latest articles of real situations when medical insurance premiums have shot up to $4k and will continue to go up by some 40% annually is a good case study. The examples given were of people likely to be economically active and in their 50s. And they are screaming hell about affordability. Try imagine what kind of premiums would those in the 70s, 80s and above would have to pay.
And the other simple fact, most of them would be unemployed and have nothing left except a few dollars held hostage by the minimum sum schemes. Even $1 is unaffordable to oldies without an income and who have nothing left in their savings. Who are these jokers talking about affordability? Oops, sorry, my apologies, there are many oldies that have million dollar pensions to pay Medishield Life premiums even if it is $10k or $20k. Small matters really.
And oh I almost forgot. The Medishied Life thing can be a good thing also. You see, many of the oldies by then would have $50k or more in their Medisave Minimum Sum Scheme. And many of them would not have the chance to spend them. With the compulsory Medishield Life Scheme, they need not worry. They can now spend them without feeling it. As they said, money not spent is not yours. So the govt is smart to introduce a scheme to help them spend their coffin money. They can spend them happily.
After all my grumbling, come to think of it, Medishield Life is a good thing after all. The oldies need not waste their coffin money in the Medisave Minimum Sum Scheme without spending them. They can spend every cent they have. Why didn’t the silly Sinkies think of this? Why didn’t I think of it? Affordability is not an issue. The oldies got a lot of money in their Medisave Minimum Sum to pay for it.
Okay, can continue to talk about affordability to stretch the money in the Medisave Minimum Sum Scheme to make it last.

US military intervention in Syria could be catastrophic
by Bhim Singh
on 06 Sep 2013
"Profile: 'Bhim Singh is an Indian politician, activist, lawyer and author. "UN Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon has acknowledged the concern expressed by many across the world on the dangers to peace in case the United States insists on military intervention in Syria. We in India also urge the UN Secretary-General to intervene to save peace as well as the letter and spirit of the Charter of the United Nations, which does not permit interference in the domestic affairs of any Member state.
Article 2 (7) is mandatory for all Members of the General Assembly and is equally applicable to the big powers and permanent members of the Security Council. It was tragic and unfortunate that the United States has been deliberately violating the mandate of the UN Charter - in erstwhile Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan and now in Syria. The living example of violation of the UN Charter was the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 when the Bush administration attacked under the false pretext that Iraq was manufacturing/hiding weapons of mass destruction.
This author personally interacted with the Chief Inspector deputed by the United Nations in Iraq in 2001, who admitted that his team was not able to trace any such weapons. It was proved beyond an iota of doubt that the US charge against President Saddam Hussein was false and unfounded and was made only to demonize the Arab leader and liquidate him. Washington succeeded in its game plan. The silence of the United Nations over the Anglo-American attack against Iraq has damaged the credibility of the UN; its silence was suicidal.
In 1999, the US used NATO to commit naked aggression against Yugoslavia with criminal intent to destroy Serbian culture, history and civilization. The NATO committed genocide of thousands of people and the international fraternity allowed wiping out the very name of Yugoslavia from the membership of the United Nations. President Slobodan Milosevic was abducted from his Belgrade residence, imprisoned in a dark cell manned by US commandoes in The Hague, Netherlands. He was ultimately found ‘murdered’ in his cell when the prosecutors failed to establish any guilt on his part….
More than two million people died of hunger and starvation caused by the illegal economic sanctions imposed by the United States of America against Iraq. In his book, ‘Iraq: A Heroic Resistance’, this author exposed the Anglo-American Bloc aggression against the people of Iraq followed by the genocide of innocent people. The US mission in Iraq was to capture oil, land and strategic waters in Iraq and the Arab world. Saddam Hussein was the biggest obstacle to this target and hence they started a worldwide media campaign to demonize him and succeeded in eliminating him (Saddam Hussein). The US proclaimed that it intended to bring democracy in Iraq. Today in Iraq hundreds of innocent people are killed daily by weapons manufactured in the western world. Where were the weapons of mass destruction that the US had detected in Iraq?
The United Nations is answerable for its silence when NATO fighters and bombers were showering bombs and arsenals on the people of Libya. International Law and the UN Charter were thrown to the winds by the Anglo-American Bloc and European allies. How and under what provision of the UN Charter did the Anglo-American Bloc use NATO forces to destroy the Arab people and brutally assassinate Libyan leader, Col. Gaddafi? The intention was not democracy but the oils of Libya which stands ninth in oil reserves in the world. Where is the democracy in Libya? Where were the humanists when the USA was committing genocide in Iraq, Libya and now in Syria?
The next target is India. The US has been promoting the Dixon Plan since 1951. To reach India, they are targetting Syria and Iran. Now American media is demonizing President Basher al-Assad, having succeeded in getting rid of Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak and also its first elected President, Mohamed Morsi.
Washington does not want to see another Nasser or Saddam or Gaddafi or even Arafat on Arab soil. Its entire strategy has been to demolish leadership in the Arab world and establish US hegemony. The interest is to grab Arab oils, earth-wealth and strategic land and waters all over the globe.
The Anglo-American Axis needs Gilgit-Baltistan to monitor China. This Bloc needs Afghanistan to keep watch on the Russian Federation. The US needs control over Latin America so that all the gold, diamond reserves and earth-wealth in those countries remains in its hands. The West has divided Sudan by fomenting Muslim-Christian conflict as done previously in the Indian sub-continent during British Rule. They divided Cameroon, the Congo, East Africa, and Palestine….
Now the Obama administration wants to attack Syria and liquidate President Basher al-Assad so that no dissenting voice remains against the United States. This fact is established after the clear message from NATO Political Chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen that the attack on Syria shall be ‘short, sharp & tailored’. This means the aim is to liquidate the Syrian leadership and its elected President.
The British Parliament has demonstrated a clever strategy to keep Arab opinion divided. Prime Minister David Cameron lost his motion by 13 votes in the House of Commons, thus showing that Britons have learnt from Iraq and Libya….
Putin has dubbed the so-called ‘chemical weapons’ theory in Syria as ‘utter nonsense’. China is equally concerned about US intrigues to demolish Syria so that Israel can freely expand in the Middle East. Obama may have compulsions to attack Syria but Obama stands defeated in his own arguments when he welcomes the support of Arab leaders on the one hand and calls for democracy in the Arab world on the other.
India made its stand clear on the eve of G20 Conclave being held in Kremlin, Russia, that she will not support foreign interference in the domestic affairs of Syria. The people of India stand for peace all over the world. India stands for the sovereignty and independence of all nations, and opposes any interference in the domestic affairs of other nations."
The above article stated clearly the intent and motivation of the Americans to attack Syria and its invasion of other Middle Eastern and African countries. The sad thing about such articles is that the Americans are setting the agenda and no one is questioning if the Americans are guilty in the first place. They just tried to defend the victim nations. Why don’t they question America’s role in the chemical attack and what if the Americans are the supplier of the chemical weapons or even a party to the chemical attack?
Many countries rightfully sang the tune that the guilty party conducting chemical attacks should be duly punished. Hsien Loong also took this stand and said the same thing which is morally right and in tune with international law. The UN should decide and if found guilty, the party should be punished by a military attack.
Now the tricky part. The Russians have evidence to prove that the chemical weapons came from Saudi Arabia. If it is proven that it was the work of Saudi Arabia, would all the countries that condemned this chemical attack also support a UN resolution to bomb Saudi Arabia? And if the investigation goes further and prove that the US is behind the chemical attack, would they also support an attack on the USA? Or would everyone turn the other way, case closed?
Why aren’t the interested parties be conducting an investigation to prove the guilt or innocence of the Americans? At the moment they could be the devil but standing on high pedestal like angels. They could be the guilty party but pointing the fingers at everyone. They cannot be presumed to be innocence as they are party to this conflict and with their hands in everything, including training of insurgents, agents and provocateurs on the ground and supplying the weapons and supplying chemical weapons cannot be ruled out even through a third party. The Americans have vested interest in the conflict and cannot be trusted as a neutral observer.

The Aussie GE came and went
Australia has a new party in power and a new PM in Tony Abbott. Kevin
Rudd made a graceful exit and praised himself and his own party for
still being a force to be reckon with in the next GE. And every
Australian is in a party mood. It was just another day in the lives of
the Australian, even when there is a change of govt.
Over here, Alex Au has been quoted to say, “… given that the transition will unavoidably be difficult, what can the opposition do to buy itself more credit?” Of course he was referring to the possibility of a change of govt in the near future with Tan Jee Say saying that it is a matter of when. Why should a change of govt with a new political party in charge be unavoidably difficult in a mature democracy of well educated and knowledgeable citizenry? We are in the First World aren’t we? We are no longer wild apes. Or we are still stuck in Third World politics that any change of political power and fortune is going to be messy and even bloody? It is terribly upsetting and sad that there is such a fear of an uprising or a military coup or things of such nature that befits a Third World pariah country with pariah political leadership.
Why can’t our social political system be like the Australians or the British or any of the mature European country? Even an emerging country with the brand of Communism is looking more stable and peaceful in making changes in political leadership. Do we really believe or expect violence or something similar should an opposition party won the next GE?
Where is this source of violence and instability going to come from? Why is this so? Have not the politicians come to the reckoning that in a democracy, where a GE is held once every 4 or 5 years, a change of govt is normal, expected and nothing more than the changing of the guards? Or is it that political leadership in this City is enshrined, hereditary or that some parties are guaranteed by the dark forces to be forever in power and any change will release the destructive forces of the dark side to deal a severe blow to the challenger?
Come to think of it, can be quite scary that this pretentious First World City will return to its rightful place in the Third World of instability and chaos if there is a change of political leadership. If that be the case, it just shows how humbug things are and the oasis of growth, prosperity, peace and tranquillity is just a mirage. In reality we have not arrived yet, not achieving anything that can survive a change of political leadership, and what you see is not what it is. Have we wasted the last 46 years developing nothing but a shaky political system that cannot withstand the test of time and change of political leadership?
Perhaps Alex Au is right, and that is very sad. What do you think?
