Neo colonization: Is Singapore a republic or a colony?

When the British and the Japs were here, they formed the govt and took charge of everything. Two of the most important roles of any govt are the distribution of power and the distribution of wealth. They took all the important jobs and distributed the good jobs to their own people. The locals were shunned except for jobs that they did not want to do or needed the locals to do. The best jobs that the locals could expect from the British were Chief Clerks or ‘tua chye hoo’. In the Police, staff sergeants or station inspectors were possible.
 
In the case of the Japanese Occupation, jobs for the locals were even more scarce. Other than labour intensive jobs, the best job that the Japanese would offer to the locals was perhaps as interpreters. No chief clerks or police NCOs. Informers yes.
 
We gained independence like the animals taken over the farmer’s farm. We gave ourselves all the top jobs and good jobs. We took over the govt and the country and the future and destiny were in our hands. We were happy. Our own citizens were in charge, placed in all the good jobs like the British and Japanese did for their citizens, not for their subjects. The subjects were given jobs they did not want to do.
 
50 years after independence, have things changed? Is there a new colonization in the making? Why are the top jobs and good jobs taken over by the foreigners? Not only that, they are in charged in many professions and called the tune, decide who they want to employ. And many Sinkies were simply sacked from the good jobs so that the foreigners could bring in their kinds to fill up the good positions.
 
If this is not colonization what is? It has not reached the top political jobs yet but signs are there that it would be. Then the colonization would be complete when the newcomers would take over the govt and all the top jobs and give all the good jobs to their own kind.
 
Several industries and professions are already in an advanced stage of this new colonization. The banking and finance industry, the IT industry, the recruitment industry, the academia, where foreigner are filling up the top management positions and calling the shots and often the locals were asked to go. How many of our local professors and academics have been left on the shelf and how many foreigners are filling up their positions in the universities? Cherian George, Michael Ho, to name a couple of the outstanding academics we have lost.
 
How far would this neo colonization be allowed to go on? And it is happening right before our very eyes, with no resistance, and the daft Sinkies are still having that silly smirk on their faces. Everything is fine, life is so good without know that foreigners are screwing their asses and soon it would be their turn to go.
Sinkies are called daft not for no reasons. The Silver Brigade must stand up and teach the young asses and tell them right in the face how stupid they are. They must right the wrongs. They have seen it before and must not let history to repeat itself. The kids are glued to their iPhones and did not know what is happening around them.

Foreigners do jobs that Sinkies did not want

‘Prof Borjas reminded me of PAP ministers who constantly exhort Singaporeans to be grateful to foreigners for making the creation of jobs possible. They and their apologists even claim that the immigrants are merely doing the jobs that local citizens shun.
 
Prof Borjas said he heard a similar argument in the US but retorted that it was a false statement, stating categorically that “immigrants do jobs natives don’t want at the going rate“.’
 
I quoted the above from an article by SFP and I can only say how true, how true. But I must confess that I am quoting these two paragraphs out of context to prove a point in what daft Sinkies have been made to believe in. Would any daft Sinkie refute or disagree with me when I agree with the same myth that foreigners only take jobs that Sinkies did not want to do? Now you are getting the idea. You are not daft after all.
We have 2m foreigners working here. Are all the jobs not wanted by Sinkies? Sinkies do not want to be ministers and MPs? Sinkies did not want to earn millions or the miserable MP allowance of $16k pm? Maybe politics is not the Sinkies’ cup of tea except for the selfless and self sacrificing immortals that would step forward to serve the daft Sinkies.
 
Let’s move to the private sectors. There are a few jobs that Sinkies did not want, the CEO of SGX, the CEO of DBS and CEOs of several other banks. Yes, no Sinkies want these jobs so they were given to the jobless and hungry and desperate foreigners. What about all the top management jobs in banking and finance and other industries? Sinkies also didn’t want these jobs? And the poor foreigners have no choice but to accept them and have to drag their whole families, papa and mama and papa and mama in laws here to suffer with them. And since all these jobs no Sinkies want, so they were encouraged to bring their whole village to come here and suffer, to do jobs that Sinkies did not want to do. These nice people are doing the Sinkies a real great service.
 
And you see how happy our retrenched and sacked PMEs are driving their taxis and becoming security guards and not having to shoulder the heavy responsibilities in their previous jobs that they did not want. Now they have so much free time to sit in the kopitiams to enjoy themselves, sipping a cup of kopi hoping it will last 3 hours. And having so much time to talk cock and scold the govt. That must be a great and care free life that these daft Sinkies desired.
 
Every PME jobless is one that did not want his job. So the poor foreigners have to be recruited to fill up the vacancies left by the choosy Sinkies. Remember Anton Casey or Edz Ello, or Sambath Kannan? They are doing jobs that Sinkies did not want. They must be suffering quietly and very unhappy. Sinkies must feel sorry for the plight of these foreigners, having to swallow their pride to take on jobs that Sinkies did not want. And Sinkies need not feel bad about IT jobs that they did not want too. Just throw them to the foreigners. Since Sinkies don’t want to do, we will give it to the Gentiles. And one job that Sinkies definitely did not want to do is Human Resource Manager. Many of the Human Resource Manager positions have been reluctantly offered to foreigners as no Sinkies like to do this job.
 
Did I prove my case? Dunno how many more jobs that Sinkies did not want to do have gone to the foreigners? Maybe Tony may want to give up his job also. Maybe Hsien Loong may want to give up his job also. So, which unlucky foreigners will end up having to take on these jobs that Sinkies did not want? Oh, Grace Fu also did not want her job too, and Hsien Loong got to beg her to stay on. If she said no then it might go to the foreigners too. And several ministers were also got fed up of being ministers and have quitted. They would even quit as MPs. There are so many jobs that Sinkies did not want and waiting for the foreigners to take over.
 
Tiok boh?

Beware, Singapore Universities NTU and NUS .…!

2015 World Universities Rankings – Using The Big Lie to Perpetuate Fraud and Myth of Excellence.

Phony? Fraud? Ponzi? Scam? Snake Oil? Or Academic Dishonesty?

"The Bigger the Lie, the more it will be believed."

– Hitler in Mein Kamp, 1925 -

By MIKOspace

Adolf Hitler perfected the “Big Lie” as a propaganda technique about the use of a Lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."

An European Government-commissioned study concluded that top World Universities Rankings Standards are so based on dubious data and subjective weightings of factors that they are useless as a basis for information if the goal is to improve higher education.  “Useless” - its verdict on a popular World Universities Ranking Standard after a thorough and in-depth decomposition of its methodology.

Public Warning: DO NOT Trust Universities Rankings.

World Universities Ranking Standards are a global multi-billion dollar industry.  A higher ranking translates to University fees from more unsuspecting students especially from the emergent rich developing countries from China, India and East Asia. To the Vendors, it means revenue from consultancy, publications and media exposure. For Universities Administrators and Managers, they represent profitable performance results, never mind that the Standards have little, often nothing, to do with their Universities’ learning mission outcome.

For parents, the Rankings represent a convenient solution to the difficult task of University choice for their children, never mind that they had invented and perpetuated the Myth of “One Best University” as well as the obvious Big Lie that “One University Fits All” regardless of your child’s interests, subject preference, learning ability and career choice. Because these students and their parents do not know better, they became easy victims to the Predators of the True Big Lies and Delusions about Universities Ranking Standards.  

The United Nations Education agency, UNESCO, has challenged the validity and reliability of University Rankings calling the World Universities Ranking Standards Bogus Ranking Standards of Dubious Excellence, as most University Professors and Academics.

The London-based QS World Universities Ranking has been called “a Fraud on the public.” Another Eminent Professor said: “QS simply doesn’t do as good a job as the other rankers that are using multiple indicators”. The Eminent Professor Simon Marginson of then Melbourne University remarked that: “I do think social science-wise it’s so weak that you can’t take the results seriously”. 

The BIG LIE Exposed.

To its naïve, gullible and unsuspecting market of prospective students and their parents, the methodology behind creating the Big Lie of World Universities Ranking Standards is vague enough so that no average reader can quite figure out how and why these Universities are ranked as they did. However, the Standards and their respective systems with its publications of numbers and statistics, supported by enthusiastic endorsements by Universities, politicians and some Professors, seem clear enough to suggest a façade of validity, thereby completing Hitler’s Big Lie formula.

Governments have a duty to intervene and ban the use of World Universities Rankings Standards by its public-funded Universities.  It is like any false and misleading marketing.  Some Universities have been known to submit incomplete and false data to Standards Vendors in the hope of improving their rankings.

Singapore’s involvement with the Big Lie of World Universities Ranking is a case in point.  Known globally for our Authentic Accomplishments, our Universities were seduced by the tsunami of the Fraudulent World Universities Rankings at the turn of the 21^st Century.  

When ranked undeservingly low by the Rankers, Singapore’s NTU, one of only 2 top local and Great Universities, began to re-calibrate actively in accordance with the Big Lie’s definition of “world excellence”.  Never mind that their common Mission was and has always been the Creation of Singapore’s Future.  The impact of NTU’s research excellence which had encouraged entrepreneurship in its faculty and students and produced many spin-off companies were trivialized to just research paper citations.       

To satisfy the Rankers’ preference for foreign students and faculty members, NTU embarked on a systematic purge of local Professors, never mind that many are tenured, have accomplished internationally, and have served the University with distinction, and denied admission to many qualified Singaporeans by increasing foreign students admission, and forcing those from better income families to seek and obtain admissions to, ironically, top Universities overseas.

Some laws were also possibly broken with regard to the constitutional protection of Singaporean Professors and their retirement age, but the irrational, mindless frenzy spared nothing to obtain a Brand of Questionable Authenticity.

A few hundred Singaporean Professors were purged from 2007 to beyond 2010. And more than 6,500 Singaporean students, or between 1,700-1,900 annually, were denied NTU admission into various 3-year and 4-year Undergraduate Programs from 2009-2013.

Finally by 2014, NTU was ranked as the Top Youngest University in the World by QS Ranker, and ranking just 39th Worldwide.  Indeed, what a “climb” from 77th in 2008!  Indeed, a Pyrrhic and Hollow Victory, nothing more.

Never in the short History of Singapore has so much been owed by the Nation to so many Singaporeans so stupidly sacrificed for nothing of any worthy value to our Future or the World.

Seriously, enough is enough of the stupid stuff! The Singapore Government should direct our Universities to ignore the Big Lie of World Universities Ranking Standards, as so wisely counseled by one of the main Ranker himself. 

Singapore universities should no longer participate in the Big Lie of any “World Universities Ranking” Fraud and lends our hard-earned Reputation for Authenticity and Honesty to mask their lack of credibility, validity and reliability.  We must continue to uphold the honest Truth before the World and ourselves, not out of fear of laws and penalties but because this is WHO WE ARE. Our High Standards of integrity and honesty reflect the Society we want to live in, and the values we uphold and hold ourselves to embrace.

The appeasement to Abe

When Adolf Hitler started the militarization of Germany, the European powers looked on quietly, hoping that he was only rebuilding Germany to protect itself. England, the dominant power than adopted a policy of appeasement, allowing Hitler to expand his armed forces freely as he wished. When Hitler finally invaded the rest of Europe it was too late to cry. Europe almost went under if the Americans did not intervened, but at a very high cost on human lives and sufferings. There would be no holocaust and millions of Jews would not have suffered the cruelties of the Germans. European countries would not have been put to ruins and their citizens killed and maimed for life. It was too late to regret for the failure to stop the militarization of Germany.
 
In East Asia today, the forces that would lead to a third World War have been set in motion just like the days of Adolf Hitler. Japan, under the Abe Administration, is going the same path as Hitler’s Germany. Military build up and remilitarization are top priority. Abe has a free hand to do as he pleases, like Adolf Hitler, and better still, with the encouragement of the Americans. The Americans are setting the stage for a major war with China with Japan on its side and whichever East Asian and South East Asian countries it can pull into its ranks.
 
Japan is the main assault force for the Americans against China. Japan’s military is being beefed up with American technology and weapons. Japan’s intention is blatantly displayed to the world by the appointing of Hawkish Defence Minister General Nakatani. The hawks are on the ascent. More military acquisition and building of military hardware like assault warships, aircraft carriers and a secret nuclear armament programme, ignoring the wrath of God with the crippling of Fukushima nuclear plant. All nuclear power stations must be run to produce the weapon grade plutonium for nuclear weapons production.
 
The Americans quietly acquiesced, not appeasement, by allowing Japan to retain 300kg of weapons grade plutonium ‘loaned’ to Japan for research purposes. What was the intent? These could easily produce 40 to 50 nuclear weapons and the only farce that the Americans are doing is to put on an act of wanting them back. Japan is also in possession of 44,000 kg of home grown plutonium from its nuclear power stations. How many more nuclear bombs could they produce?
 
Though officially not admitted, Japan could be in possession of hundreds of nuclear weapons today with the connivance and approval of the Americans. And the Americans are allowing the Japanese to rewrite their pacifist constitutions so that it could go back to its past aggression military adventure, to conduct wars.
 
What is happening to the remilitarization of Japan is more than appeasement but a concerted effort promoted by the Americans to use the Japanese, as a nuclear power, to contain China and to hold China at ransom with the threat of a nuclear war. It is easier to get the ambitious and conceited Japanese to take on China and let Asia burns.
 
The rise of a military Japan is almost complete with the rest of the world turning a blind eye and with the Americans providing all the assistance and approval for a Japan to return to its Imperialist past. Shinzo Abe is the new Adolf Hitler of the 21st Century. The world is being prepared for a 3rd World War by the USA and Japan with East Asia as the battle ground.

The end of Sinkies is near

Over the last few days Sinkies were being bashed by foreigners in the most unbecoming and digraceful way they could ever imagine. A Sambath Kannan from India, a VP in Deutsche Bank, wrote in Hsien Loong’s Facebook chastising and implying that Sinkies are a bunch of misfits that someone like him coming from a continent of slums and with half its population still squatting in the open to shit, without toilet facilities, could teach them how to work and live well.
 
And there is this Pinoy called Edz Ello, working in Tan Tock Seng Hospital, who wrote in his Facebook calling for the killing of Sinkies and to take over the island as a state of the Philippines. His defence is that his Facebook was hacked but netizens quoted him writing those insulting messages for several months. This makes his innocent claim a big doubt. The call for violence is unacceptable and seditious. The Police cannot fold their arms and look askance as if it is a joke like the Joker asking the daft Sinkies to laugh it off.
Threats of taking lives and hurting people are no laughing matter. I too received a similar threat by a Raymond and I made a police report when he cockily dared me to. No one is allowed to threaten the lives of any citizens or to cause him bodily harm and be able to walk away, and for some silly ass to say laugh it off.
 
Then in the Mypaper today, there is a picture of this huge and burly foreigner cyclist haughtily manhandling a local like handling a little wild animal. The facts of the incident were not fully reported but even if the driver was rude, there is no room for a foreigner to pull up a citizen in that roguish and humiliating manner. And the frequency of foreigners bashing locals is so high that it is very shameful. Why are foreigners allowed to threat locals like little animals? Who is there to protect the foreigners! Yes, who is there to protect the foreigners while the locals are being bashed by foreigners? The local shits are useless daft Sinkies that deserved to be bashed by foreigners?
 
In all these cases, the important thing is the thinking behind their actions. These foreigners, the India Indian, the Pinoy and the burly foreigner, are treating the daft Sinkies as irritants that should be gotten rid off. They have totally no respect for the daft Sinkies or the local law and authority. And they are right in a way. The daft Sinkies would not hit back and would allow themselves to be abused, insulted and beaten. And the law, the law to protect the daft Sinkies? I reserve my comments. No comments.
 
All I can say is that the days of the daft Sinkies in the little island they called home is coming to an end. They will soon be a minority, treated like minorities and not only that, regarded as useless pieces of wood or old furniture, to be thrown away and chopped and used as firewood. They are really daft and stupid and unworthy to be here, to be a resident of this prosperous island of super foreign talents. The foreigners built this island and are here to help them and to provide jobs for the daft Sinkies. Say thank you, go down on your knees and be grateful to the foreigners. Let them insult you, threaten you and bash you. And be very grateful for the privilege.
