The Americans dropping out of the computer race

After bragging for several decades as the most advanced country in super computers, the Americans have unashamingly bowed out of the race. They could not compete with the Chinese anymore with the Chinese claiming the bragging right for having the world’s fastest and second fastest super computers built in China. The Americans have fallen to a distant third and knew that they could no longer catch up with the Chinese and even declared that it was a race for nothing.

Is it really nothing to talk about? There have been talks in some corners of the military circle that the super high speed computers could have military applications like decoding the ICBMs or cruise missiles in flight, capture them and turn them around to where they came from or to where the Chinese wanted them to hit. This is ground breaking computer technology that only super speed computers could do to capture an ICBM in flight within minutes.

If China can perfect this technology, the US ICBM arsenal as well as those in the nuclear submarines and cruise missiles is as good as belonged to the Chinese and part of the Chinese intercontinental nuclear arsenal. The Chinese Anti Access and Area Denial strategy backed by their anti aircraft carrier missiles was a breakthrough in changing the military balance vis a vis the Americans.

The super computer technology would change the game of intercontinental and space based ballistic missile warfare.The deployment of super speed computers to capture ICBMs in flight would turn the table around against the Americans rendering all the American ICBMs impotent, afraid to launch for fear of being turnaround.

The military war game is changing rapidly in favour of China and the Americans are losing their grip on this hi tech warfare with computers fighting computers. The Americans have given up the race to the moon and space with the mothballing of NASA. Now this super computer race is another race that they have given up.

The end of the RAHMAN prophesy

The RAHMAN prophesy is coming to its end with Najib fulfilling the last alphabet N. For the uninitiated, the alphabets of RAHMAN spell out the first letter of the names of the Prime Ministers of Malaysia starting with Tengku Abdul Rahman where the RAHMAN originated, the following PMs were Abdul Razak, Hussein Onn, Mahathir, Abdullah Badawi and now Najib. 

 

The question is that we are now at the end of the RAHMAN prophesy, then what? Is Najib going to rule forever so there is no need for another formula to replace the RAHMAN formula. And by the look of things, Najib is going to rule for a long time to come. Whatever, Najib cannot be an immortal and it will come to an end. So, what is the next change? Would a new formula be found and how would it take shape?

 

The short 6 alphabets may be a sign that Malaysia will have only 6 PMs and subsequently there will not be any more PM. It could mean the end of Malaysia, with Malaysia breaking into different states and new countries. This is not far fetch given the artificiality and superficiality of the Malaysia concept. The two east Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak are all itching to break away from the Malay/Islam dominated country. They just don’t fit in given their population and religious profiles. And there is Johore that is increasingly losing patience with the Federal Govt meddling and messing up its development plans. Kelantan and Penang have different reasons to want a different formula or status quo.

 

There could be another possibility, that Malaysia will become a dictatorship, ruled by a dictator and no need for a PM. The possibility of Malaysia breaking up is high, but a dictatorship, mmmmnn, what do you think? Najib a dictator?

 

Look at another possibility of the RAHMAN formula being recycled with Malaysia remaining as it is. If this be the case, the next PM would be one whose name starts with the letter R. Tengku Razaleigh’s name came up immediately. Though ageing but still going strong and why not? Who else that are in the political limelight today with a name starting with R? What about newly appointed Economic Minister Abdul Rahman Dahlan, same name as Tengku Abdul Rahman to start a new cycle? He is young, only 50 years old and fit in nicely to succeed Najib in another term. There are two more ministers with names starting with R in Richard Riot Jaem and Rohani Abdul Karim. But both are light weights and unlikely to be PM material.

 

The RAHMAN formula would rule out many of the close contenders like Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Hishammudin, Khairy etc.  If this formula is going to be repeated, a new R must be found that is very influential and powerful to fit the role of a PM. I have one more R in mind and this candidate has a very high chance of taking over the rein from Najib.

 

Still guessing? What about Rosmah?

My grandfather's toilet

He told me his grandfather was a kampong head man many many years ago. And his grandfather told his father this story, and his father told him the same story. His grandfather wanted to build a public toilet for the kampong. That was when his headache started. You think building a toilet in those days was so easy ya? Actually it was, for the unthinking. Building a toilet was the easiest thing to do. Find a spot, build a small cubicle, and there you are, a toilet, overnight.

But things got complicated when a smart alec in the kampong offered his help. He told the grandfather that he had been thinking, obviously a thinker. He said he could see so many problems about building a public toilet. You need to find the idea location where it could be used by the most people. It must be conveniently located, the smell must not disturb the people. It must cater for the men and women, the adult, the young and the old, and those on wheel chairs. The building must be robust, of good material. It must be easy for the night soil collector to clear the shit. It must take into consideration the future when it could be converted into a flush system....by now the grandfather's head went blank from information overflow. It was too much to take.

So the grandfather told him to stop his thinking and just tell him what needed to be done. The smart alec said it was big problem and he too did not know what to do. He said his good friend, a consultant, could help. The grandfather said good, go get your friend to help. The consultant came and went and came back with a long list of do's and don'ts. The problem got even more complicated and more confusing. The consultant got into more serious thinking.

The grandfather gave up. It was beyond him to fathom why got so many problems when he could build the toilet with the help of a carpenter in the village. He shook his head and told the smart alec to engage the consultant to build the toilet. The consultant assured the grandfather village head man that he had thought through all the problems and there would be no problem after the toilet was build.

A few weeks later a beautiful toilet was built for the kampong and everyone was praising the reasons why the toilet was built, its location, design, material used, etc etc. And the consultant sent the bill to the grandfather village head for $10k. This was big money in those days when a car cost $3,000. The grandfather was shocked. Why so much? The consultant said $9,800 was his fee for thinking so hard about all the problems and $200 was for building the toilet.

End of story. QED. Who said it is difficult to build a little toilet?

Hilary Clinton The Neo-Con Warmonger

                           Hilary  Clinton  The  Neo-Con  Warmonger



Hillary Clinton is ruthless .  She is a mass murderess, a genocider, just like her forebears in the 1600s to 1940s who genocided and exterminated no less than 85 million Native Americans . She is a white supremacist who believes in whole sale mass slaughter of non-white people as seen in her feverish support for illegal wars against Iraq, Libya and Syria.In these illegal wars against Iraq, Libya and Syria she had caused the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent people and the wanton suffering of millions of others and also causing the affected countries to be torn apart in terrible destruction.She has to pay a price for this.

She is labelled in USA as a  great liar and is justly called so by Presidential candidate Trump.  Indeed she is  an international great liar who constantly lies to save her skin. She believes in carrying pre-emptive nuclear attack against Russia and China believing that USA will escape the mayhem and survive. She is downright insane, mad and crazy and inhuman to think that USA can win and survive in a nuclear war.She couldn't be more wrong. Her satanic thinking and action will result in mutual nuclear destruction and annihilation. and end of civilization because Russia and China are more than capable of Second Strike ability. She is not qualified to be elected president of USA. If by chance she is elected president , that will signal the end and the death of America and civilization.

Kill-lary Clinton is a Neo-Con who practices the insidious Neo - Con policies and the Doctrine of Christian Discovery , the American Manifest Destiny and American Exceptionalism and Unilateralism and on which doctrines the  American foreign policies  are based are really extremely toxic and dangerous. The Neo-Cons do not believe in negotiations to settle disputes real or contrived by USA. Negotiations only serve as a tactic to catch the opponent offguard so that US can take undue advantage to defeat the opponents with comprehensive surprise actions.

She is also known to be brainless and soul-less and has no feelings and compassion for others. The death of thousands of innocent people and the suffering of millions do not mean anything to her. She is inhuman or sub-human and is the epitome of all things evil and savage.

If the Americans are blind to elect her as their president they will be signing their own death knell.

AGO versus AHPETC

Recently the pages of the main media have been filled with reports from the AGO’s office and PriceWaterhouse about the lapses in the civil service and AHPETC. I think both are great readings for those who are wondering what is happening to this exceptional island. I must confess that other than the headlines, I did not bother to read more than one paragraph of the reports. I know what they are and where they are coming. I know the agenda and motives, oops, shouldn’t use such politically incorrect words. Let me rephrase, I know the content and objectives of these reports.

 

My question, which of the revelations is more important, the AGO’s or the KPMG's report? My impression, judging from what I saw and read, with Shanmugam appearing in the media and on TV, he is looking every inch iike the oracle, in style and delivery, the one that is more important is the AHPETC. Why so? Because no other minister, not even Shanmugam, appeared to be furious about the findings of the AGO reports. Some ministers even tried to explain that these were nothing to have sleepless night over them. They are just normal, it happened everywhere, in every country, just like the outages of SGX. Nothing to worry about really.

 

What about the AHPETC, is it also normal, happened everyhere? Administrative lapses, mismanagement, failure to do the due diligence, lackadaisical attitude, these are common in big organisations, cannot be avoided. Luckily we have stringent control mechanism in place and the scourge of corruption is not there. Here is the big difference. Nowhere in the whole world would you find an elected MP being made to run a town council, to be responsible to run a town council just to prove that they are suitable to run a govt.  Not sure if Hillary or Donald Trump have had this experience to be the President of the USA. So, one cannot say that it happened everywhere and is normal. It only happened in Singapore in AHPETC, so it cannot be normal. And since it is not normal, it must be serious.

 

Please feel free to disagree with me. I think my age is getting into me and my standard of good and efficient management has changed over time.  Ageing process? Maybe it is the air, the haze, or the Newater I have been drinking, too much shit in the head and affecting my vision and thinking.
