Amos Yee – Rebel with a Cause

Amos Yee accused Vincent Law, his kind bailer, of molest. Ooooooh, how could this ingrate do such a thing? Condemn, condemn. He is insane, hopeless. He deserves no pity or kindness from anyone.

Hold your horses man, stop being so judgemental with every bit of news or rumours or hearsays. You are supposed to be a mature and thinking adult, isn’t it? Does anyone think that it is better to hear the full story before jumping to conclusion? Vincent Law ‘molests’ Amos Yee, so claimed the kid.  Now I have put the word ‘molest’ in inverted commas. This is like someone saying ‘I screwed him’ or ‘I fired him’ when the meaning of screw and fire did not take on the literal meaning of the words.

Amos promised to reply on his accusation of ‘molest’ by Vincent Law. This is the first few paras of his pretty long and intellectual discourse. If one is not mentally up to it, please give it a miss. It is not meant for people with IQs of two digits. : )

The Molestation Of Vincent Law

I should issue a sincere apology to Vincent Law? Hahahahaha.
It once again is alarmingly indicative of the inherent stupidity of our species to immediately formulate a stance, with a complete lack of evidence, and say it with such conviction. That is of course the mindset inherent in that of religion. I’m still really skeptical of my Christian fans by the way, you’re supposed to damn me (Mark 3:29) yet you hold me a vigil.
Now the preconceived notion portrayed on the media towards Vincent is simply that he put himself in the line of fire, he assisted me by putting up $20000, and allowed a rebellious 17-year-old boy to be able to come out of prison, and attain his freedom. He is a generous, kind-hearted Christian, caring and with lots of love.
 
So now, when I made allegations that he molested me, people would then start blaming me. This person helped you Amos, he risked his reputation and his own money for you, and yet you accuse him of molestation….

Now you got the gist of it. So, before any ‘mature’ and ‘thinking’ adult starts to think and act silly, please read Amos piece in full at   https://amosyee.wordpress.com/2015/05/15/the-molestation-of-vincent-law/
before jumping to conclusions and look silly again. You be the judge after reading what Amos has written.

Amos is a refreshing voice in a time when hypocrisy rules the day. This 16 going 17 kid is a genius in his own right, love him or hate him, up to you.  He is no ordinary kid and would put many adults who are so full of themselves looking like children in his presence.  Amos is shredding everything that appears right, looks right, to pieces and making many people not only red in their faces but dunno where to hide their faces.

Amen. May the force be with Amos.

Amos Yee – When kindness died

We have seen the episode of how a boy was persecuted by a lynch mob of adults like they were out hunting for a witch. A lot have been said about this case and I will make it short and sharp.  You want to read more, go to TRE and read what Vincent Wijeysingha wrote.

What happened was that a child and his offensive rant and his dirty cartoon in the net were seen as a devious and intolerable act. And next, adults, presumably mature and wisdom and full of themselves in righteousness, went berserk and braying for the blood of this boy. Hey, he is only 16! The merciless pursuit of this kid, even being beaten by another asshole man in front of the court, claiming he wanted maximum publicity to teach the boy a lesson, was cheered by some quarters of adults.

It was the shameless adults that thought flogging a child in public was a decent thing to do. Where is kindness? We got a kindness movement going on. What did the movement said or not allowed to say?

Kindness is dead in this pretentious city state of graciousness when basic human decency towards a wayward child was thrown into the longkangs. There was not a word of kindness and compassion towards the child from the right places. The sadistic circus was allowed to run its full course.

Would anyone feel ashamed of the whole thing? Obviously not. They are so unforgiving even to a child.

Amen.

The rise of China

In a short span of 65 years after the Chinese Communist Party fought their way to retake control of a disintegrated and bankrupt China, a victim of mismanagement and foreign aggression and looting, China is today the second largest economy in the world and on the verge of overtaking the USA. Militarily it is no longer a push over. A nation of hapless and impoverished humanity, China is boasting of billionaires and millionaires, the most lucrative market for luxury goods, cars, jewelry, paintings, arts etc etc. There is now a China Dream instead in the likes of the American Dream for the young Chinese and even westerners.

China has arrived at the world stage as a new economic and military powerhouse, without firing a single shot. China achieved and attained its wealth, amidst great obstacles, through peaceful and economic means. Compare this to the western powers, their wealth was built on conquest and butchery. The came, they saw, they conquered, was the right thing to do then, and glorified by the colonialists and imperialists that ignored the rights of the natives to live and to be owners of their land.

Today the West and some silly Southeast Asians are accusing China of being an aggressive country, expansionist and bullying the smaller countries just because China is staking its claims to the uninhabited islands in the South China Seas and building infrastructures for human activities. The Chinese claims to these islands have much more legitimacy than the British claim to Singapore, to Malaysia and all the colonized countries. The most hypocritical are the Americans, seizing the continent of North America from the natives and committing the world’s biggest genocide to ensure that the natives were decimated to extinction and have no chance to make any meaningful claim for the return of their land.

Japan, still claiming islands of conquest that belonged to China, Korea and Russia, are in the thick of things. With the recent visit to Washington, Japan could have sealed the right to conduct wars of conquest in partnership with the Americans. The Abe Administration is bragging about its new rights to shoot down missiles, to fight alongside the Americans and other American allies in war. And both the Japanese and the Americans are shouting at the top of their voice that they are for peace and wanting to maintain peace while the Japanese are tearing away their constitution forbidding them to engage in wars of aggression. The Americans have moved their war machine and arsenal to the western Pacific region while Japan is continuing on its military expansion and adventurism with the consent of the Americans.

China may not have fired a single bullet to become an economic power that the Japanese fought so hard by invading the countries of Asia and failed. Japan also acquired its post war wealth without having to go to war. The Americans lost half of its wealth by continuing to conduct wars all over the world.

The new reality, China might have to go to war with the Americans and the Japanese to protect its country and wealth from them. The latter two are arming themselves and signing military alliances with their allies in preparation for a war of aggression against China in the name of peace.

Countries that gained wealth from the barrel of the guns cannot forget or think it is possible to gain economic wealth peacefully. They will resort to the use of gun and military power to achieve what they wanted by provoking and starting wars, this time against China. To prevent a war of aggression from the Americans, the Japanese and their allies, China must be militarily prepared to mete this brute force with force.

There is no need for China to want to conduct war when it is able to achieve all the economic growth it needs to bring a better life to its people. Only the ex colonialists and imperialists are still conniving and scheming to do what they know best, to conduct wars of aggression.

The Americans and Japanese are for peace? Check your head. Who needs a war? Does China need a war? Who is pointing a gun at everyone?

Degrees, degrees and fake degrees

The job of HR a few decades ago was pretty straight forward when vetting through the qualifications and CVs of a job applicant. In that piece of paper that the applicant submitted, you could practically verify everything with a few phone calls. But most of the time it was unnecessary as very few would dare to submit fake resumes for fear of the law and being discovered. It was so easy to find out the truth. The schools, the universities, the teachers, the references could be know to the HR or could easily be traced. After a simple process of verification of the certificates, an applicant could be hired based on what he has submitted.
 
When the door was thrown wide open to the world, in comes a deluge of snakes, scorpions, crocodiles and worms and the HR has a problem they never knew before. Was the govt, the HR and the system prepared and ready to face the world of fakes and cheats or compromised half baked education systems and degree mills?
 
The problem has exploded right in our face. In fact it exploded the moment the foreigners came in but everyone was in a state of denial. How to check on the quality of the education systems, the universities, schools, the grades when everyone appears to come from another planet and sounded like one? It was so easy to think that their systems are just as rigid and proper as ours, their standards were just as high as ours, their gradings as stringent as ours. Of course now we know a degree is not just a degree, an university is not just an university and a referee, testimonial, can all be faked or bought.
 
Now we are setting up agencies with foreigners to check on foreigners who knew how to buy their way out and would have not problem buying the checkers out. Did we foresee the problems then, before opening our doors? With the exposure of more and more fakes, the disease is deep inside us, seeped into every little nooks and corners of our systems like bed bugs, ringworms, tape worms, viruses and bacteria, everywhere.



Can we afford to live with them or is there a need to flush them out? The easy way of is to pretend all is fine. Where got problem? Prove to me lah, show me proof lah. If you can’t then don’t anyhow say. See, no problems right?
 
Oh, HR, please ask the applicants which degree or job references should be ignored, not to count, just for décor purposes in the CVs and which are genuine and to be counted. See, so easy to solve. QED. Just pretend or believe everyone is a talent will do. Or nevermind, just hire them and see if they can work. If can work good oredy. No need to bother about the degrees and testimonials and whether they are real or unreal.



PS. How to verify testimonials and recommendations from so and so of good work performance? Anyone wants to rely on such craps from crappy countries renowned for fakes and cheating?

Philippines want to build naval facilities in contested Spratley Islands

The Philippines govt has big plans to build a naval base in the Spratley Islands to challenge China’s claim in the South China Sea. The initial cost is $23.8m and another $200m for a full scale naval base. The plans are there but stalled for lack of funds. I would suggest they come to Singapore, look for a Singaporean to sell his good class bungalow and there will be enough money for the initial phase with money to spare. Or they could call on the Pinoy community here to make a donation and they could even have enough money to build the full scale naval base.
 
To be realistic, money is not everything. They would need the right equipment, the skilled manpower and the expertise to reclaim islands and building infrastructure. The best solution is for the Philippines to pay a courtesy call to Xi Jinping in Beijing. China would have everything the Philippines need, from cheap financing, skilled labour, engineering expertise and equipment to do the job in double quick time.
 
The Chinese could offer the Pinoys a comprehensive package and throw in some goodie bags as well. Be nice to the Chinese and everything would be done for them for a song.
 
Maybe the Americans could set up a military base on behalf of its colony in the island. The Americans would be most willing to gain a military foothold in the South China Sea to cause mischief. Ya, they could build their base in the Mischief Reef, for free. The Philippines govt need not pay a single cent. Just invite the Empire to be the masters again.
