What is the WP going to do with the AGO reports?

The AHPETC story has not ended and will never end for the next 100 years. This is called tenacity, to keep repeating a wrong, to keep it alive and to keep reminding the people of the wrong. It is politics of little Red Dot.
 
The WP must be groaning in pain. Their strategy of not rubbing it in when they had a chance, or many chances, but to play ball, to play good boy, has boomeranged. The PAP is not going to appreciate that and in the case of the AHPETC, they are going to screw the knife deeper into the bones, to make it stick for good. What else or when would the PAP be able to find another opportunity to screw the WP real hard?
 
The AGO reports have highlighted many flaws and mismanagement or bad governance. Would the WP decide to return PAP the favour, dig in, be just as tenacious, bite as hard and refuses to let go, like the AHPETC case. To do so they would need a dedicated team to dwell into the nitty gritty of the cases highlighted, turn over every stone to expose the dirt, like the AHPETC case. Or would they continue to play ball, say one time ok leow, be nice, no need to rub it in, no need to rub so hard.  Whatever happened happens, let’s move on?
 
Or maybe the problems raised by the AGO were nothing compared to the AHPETC so there is no comparison and nothing much to talk about. Back to sweep the streets and make sure the estate is clean, go and take care of municipal issues, and to make sure no more AHPETC problems to be aired like dirty laundry again?
 
What is the battle plan and strategies of the WP? More of the same? Don’t rock the boat, no need to harp on an issue and things will be fine? Or will the young turks in WP want to stand up and fight and fight tenaciously like the PAP?

China must never go through the trauma of American and Japanese aggression again

                                   China must never go through the trauma of Western and Japanese aggression again

China must never go through the trauma of foreign aggression again. USA in trying to maintain its number one world super power status insists on containing China from peaceful development. The whole American administration is infested with insane, mad and crazy crooks, rogues and scoundrels and warmongers who can't accept the rise of other countries. They are intent on pinning Russia and China down and to eventually destroy the two countries.This is because they  know that Russia and China are the only two countries capable of stopping USA from carrying on its evil heinous acts and prevent it from exercising  global domination and hegemony. If USA pushes China too much to the wall, China will fight back A war with China now will become the nemesis of the Evil Empire , USA. China must continually build up its military and economy from strength to strength to resist American and Japanese aggression and to stop their travesty of justice.

Below I quote an excerpt from an article by a prominent writer and peace advocate :.     ANDRE   VITCHEK

         SOUTH  CHINA  SEA  :  WATCH  OUT  :  DRAGON  COULD  BITE

"China is fuming. It has obviously had enough, it is reaching the limit. For decades it tried to appease the West, to play by international laws, to be a good and responsible member of the international community. And for decades it never interfered in the internal affairs of other countries, it sponsored no coups and attacked no foreign lands.
Even its counter-propaganda has been measured, polite and mild.
All this has gained China no admiration, not even respect!
It is being constantly antagonized, provoked and encircled both militarily and ideologically. Not far from its territory are deadly US military bases (Futenma and Kadena) located on Okinawa, there are enormous bases on the Korean Peninsula and increasing US military presence in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines. There are constant exercises and naval maneuvers near its shores and just recently, a decision by South Korea (ROK), to allow the US to deploy an advanced missile defense system (THAAD) in Seongju County.
In Nagasaki, my friend, an Australian historian Geoffrey Gunn commented on the situation:
“Well, the fact of the matter is that China is indignant at this encirclement. China is indignant that Washington backs Japan, that Washington is ready to support Japan’s non-negotiation policy over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands. So we see, in this situation, a clearly indignant China, and Japan that is taking a basically aggressive position in relation to so-called territorial integrity. So Pacific Asia is increasingly becoming more belligerent, more conflict-prone East Asia.”
The propaganda against China in both Europe and North America is reaching a crescendo. The more socialist (Chinese way) it is once again becoming, and the closer its ties with Russia become, the more powerful the ideological attacks are from Western governments and mainstream media.
The latest decision (over the South China Sea dispute) of the ‘kangaroo’ arbitration court in The Hague appears to be the last drop.
The Chinese Dragon has risen in anger. Tired of receiving punches, mighty and strong, it has sent a strong message to the West: China is an enormous and peaceful country. But if threatened, if attacked, this time the country will be firm and determined. It will defend itself and its interests.....

To antagonize China is not only wrong; it is dangerous and shortsighted. Beijing has been backing up and compromising too long, for many decades. It will not any longer. Chinese people demand fairness. The Philippines should realize that the West is using their country as a proxy, for its imperialist goals.
To involve Western courts in internal Asian disputes, as is being done by the Philippines, will only aggravate the situation. To shoot at Chinese fishing vessels in the disputed waters (as was recently done by the Indonesian navy) can only escalate tensions (Indonesia already has a horrid historic track record in relation to China – banning the Chinese language, culture and even names, for decades, after the bloody Western-backed coup of 1965).
For the time being, China will be applying a ‘wait and see’ strategy. Once again, it will use its diplomacy, re-launching bilateral negotiations with the Philippines, Vietnam and other countries.
But if the West refuses to back up, and if some of the Southeast Asian countries continue to act as proxies for the West, Beijing would most likely use one of the tougher options. One would be setting up an air defense identification zone over the South China Sea. Another would be direct military escalation – greater naval and air force presence in the area.
And what is the position of the world? No matter what the Western propaganda is trumpeting, only a handful countries, mainly the US and its closest allies (5 at the time this essay is being written), have publicly supported the Philippines and the Ruling coming from The Hague. Over 70 nations support China and its belief that disputes should be resolved through negotiations and not arbitration. The rest of the world has remained ‘neutral’."

USA will have to pay a price for its crimes against humanity

                               Just like the Japanese, the Americans will have to pay a price for its crimes against humanity


The Americans and the Western European countries are assuming that they are still the supreme masters on earth and that no one can stop them in their evil doings and wicked deeds on trampling on other countries big or small. Decades ago in the 1950s to 1970s the  Evil Empire overthrew dully elected governments in many South American countries and replaced them with USA lackeys, That tumultuous period  was known as the operation First Condor in which many nationalists were cold bloodedly massacred by the Americans and their lackeys.

Then immediately after the Second World War USA planned to take overall control of the Middle East Arab countries.USA instigated and provoked wars among the Arabs by deepening their distrust and hatred among them by playing on their religious differences viz the Sunnis and the Shites. Then in 1948 USA  with the help of UK planted a Jewish state in Israel to act as a proxy of America to police and control all the Arabs. Since then the Arabs in the Middle-East have never known peace. Saddam Hussein of Iraq and Gaddafi of Libya were brutally murdered and their countries left in chaos with hundreds of thousands bombed and killed by the Americans and millions left in untold suffering and greatly impoverished. Meanwhile USA and the Europeans enriched themselves with their virtual control of the oil and other natural resources in the region.

They still want to treat China as they did to her in the 1830s to the 1940s , when China was attacked by eight to twelve western countries and Japan and in which China lost millions of square miles of land to the conquering marauders, the British, French, Russia, Japan and USA. USA continued to interfere in the Chinese Civil War from the 1930s to 1940s and right up to the present.China would have liberated Taiwan and there won't be a divided China had USA not stationed its Seventh Fleet to stop China from accomplishing its task of national unity.

USA provoked and started the Korean War in1950 with the motive of destabilising and weakening further an already injured and very feeble impoverished China.During the Korean War USA threatened to nuke China . Then it did a very heinous and most immoral thing when it freed many first class Japanese war criminals after the Second World War, instead of committing them to death by the firing squad. Emperor Hirohito and Abe's grandfather were the two foremost war criminals that should be sentenced to death. But both and many of the high class diabolical Japanese scientists and generals who worked on the Unit 731 chemical and biological war programmes were released under two agreements. Japan would hand over to USA the thousands of tons of gold in which Japan robbed from the people in China, Korea,Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand , Indonesia, Malaysia and Burma. Japan must also hand over to USA in toto all the records of their experiments in chemical and biological warfare research. Emperor Hirohito was the number one war criminal who should be hanged for inspiring the Japanese to extremely cruel and brutal warfare against conquered people and Abe's grandfather was the minister in charge of the toxic inhuman Unit 731 in which very cruel and painful experiments were conducted on living persons. Abe's grandfather made sure all the germicidal experiments like bubonic plague, anthrax, small pox and flu were conducted on the Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos, Indonesians and some westerners while they were alive.The victims suffered slow dragging painful death . In freeing the first class Japanese criminals America was complicit in the crime against humanity. America has yet to pay a price for this. The freed Japanese scientists began to work as heads of American and Japanese universities in charge of germ and chemical warfare experiments. Many of them became heads of huge commercial corporations.

The Americans are just as cruel and evil in diabolical deeds. They always use the terms " democracy" and " human rights" as a smokescreen to hookwink the world to cover their evil deeds of carrying out regime change against countries which do not toe the American dictates. They horrendously murdered and killed millions of innocent people by their mass bombings through super bombers or drones. They are creating wars everywhere to keep their war industries humming and to enrich themselves. All these diabolical deeds are done to maintain American supremacy and world hegemony and its number one position in the world .Just like the Japanese , the  Americans will have to pay a price for their crimes against humanity.

What to do with the taxi drivers?

Singapore is testing the use of driverless taxis this year when a fleet will be launched to ply the streets. If successful, more will be put on the road and they could be a hit among the commuters.  Socially and security wise driverless taxis would be the preferred choice than walking into a taxi driven by a stranger. And if unlucky, bad things could happen, not talking about some rude and nasty ones.

If this driverless taxi project is a success, where would all the taxi drivers going to find another job?  This is a new competition and eventually driverless taxis will be replacing those driven ones. The change could mean several thousand of taxi drivers going out of job, or at least a majority would be out of jobs, leaving only a few diehards to serve those that could not use mobile apps.

Are we looking at a game changer, a new lifestyle to getting use to? Whither the last bastion of jobs for Singaporeans? Hurry, think of more training courses for the taxi drivers that would be looking for new jobs, or to retire for good. Upgrading courses should be aplenty as taxi driving is not that much high skill compares to PME’s jobs. It is not easy to design skill upgrading courses for experienced and highly trained PMEs and to convince them that after upgrading their skills they can look forward to a low paying job that may not pay enough for their day to day living. For taxi drivers, any job would be a skill upgrade and could be paying more.

With driverless taxis, the taxi driving vocation could join the dinosaurs or the dodo birds.

Why Redbean did not reply?

 

Cynical Investor wrote an article in the TRE titled ''The truth about a China apologist'' and asked why redbean did not reply to him and a few others as well. The answer, why redbean did not want to reply is the same as why Confucius did not want to explain but agree with a 3 season man that there is no winter. Confucius knew that he could not convince the 3 season man that there was really a season called winter that the 3 season man had not known. How so?

A 3 season man is like some insects with lifespan of only 9 months, from spring to autumn. By autumn the insect would have outlived its life and be dead, never would it have a chance to experience and know what winter is like. To such an insect it is true that there is no winter. And the insect would be so convinced that he was right and would not want to understand or listen to people who lived long enough to tell him that there was winter. The discussion would be a waste of effort and time and it was better to agree with the 3 season man or let the 3 season man to believe he was right. Let the 3 season man be happy in his own truth.

There are many kinds of truth depending on the subjective biases of the individual. Some would believe that their beliefs are the truth. Some would believe that their facts are the truth. Some would believe that the fabricated facts are the truth just like the WMD in Iraq or Osama was the master mind behind 911. Some would believe the Americans are the most peace loving people despite being at war for the last 6 decades and killing hundreds of innocent lives. Some would also believe the Americans practices rule of law and accept and abide by international laws.

Just leave the 3 season man to their own thinking and logic. No need to sweat the small stuff.
