Elected Presidency – Another Uniquely Singapore innovative idea

The most creative and innovative people in Singapore must be the political leaders. They are coming up with mind blowing ideas that no one could think of and always work. The latest is this great idea called Elected Presidency. It is like a genie coming out from a bottle to solve all the critical problems of Singapore, ie, to protect the nation’s reserves from being squandered by rogue govt, to unify the country, to give the minority a chance to be the president, thus be seen as participating in the main stream of the country’s politics. The unifying factor in a multi racial society, where he is seen as a symbol of racial unity is really crucial.

Whenever I write a piece praising the govt I know for sure that I would get a lot of walloping from my readers. But I am just saying the truth. This EP idea is so innovative and so effective that soon other countries would be borrowing it from us. There is a genuine fear that the ruling govt of the day would turn rogue, and Parliament and all the parliamentarians, all 87 of them, could not do anything and someone must rub the bottle to release the genie in the form of a EP who would then be able to slam down the rogue politicians from running amok. I am not sure whether a minority president is more important or the protection of the nation’s reserves, the rush to make the next EP election a Malay President election would give an indication of which is which.

One genie, a very exceptional one, with all the stringent qualifications, with no compromises on meritocracy even if chosen from a reserve minority EP election, will be able to take on a whole Parliament of rogues.  This EP is the last man in the defence of our nation’s reserves, incidentally include the people’s CPF savings, so don’t pray pray.  Your savings in the CPF depends on the EP to protect. With this genie EP, your CPF savings are safe, forever.

And there is no worry that the genie would turn bad himself. His power can also be limited by the non elected but appointed Council of Presidential advisers that are smarter and more powerful than him, to control him if the genie misbehaved. If this is not enough, the Parliament could overrule the EP with a 2/3 majority I think, correct me if I am wrong on this. The genie is the most powerful factor, but can also be controlled. This is called checks and balance.  Who says Singapore got no checks and balance? Some may think this concept a bit ‘mao dun’, but the virtue of it is that it works to the point of flawlessness.  Many million dollar heads, the best in the island, have been put together to ensure that this is the perfect thing to have, so how can it be wrong, or how can it not work?

I don’t think any genius or any country could come up with a better and sounder idea, a better man, a unifying figure, all powerful to protect the nation’s reserves from a rogue Parliament,  all rolled into one man, but its power can still be curbed when needed, by the same Parliament it was designed to control. With the EP in place there will be stability, no gridlocks, and our democratic Parliamentary system will be safe. And this is a responsible thing to do for the future generations. Anyone opposing this idea or offering alternative ideas is irresponsible.

PS. Someone said that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton both qualified with flying colours when the stringent criteria for an EP are applied on them. This is a good proof that the formula and criteria are good since Trump and Clinton are good enough for the USA, so cannot be wrong. The formula has been tested.

Native Americans call Whitemen pale face who speak with fork tongues and are untrustworthy

I refer to yesterday's article ,    'Gunther Ottinger, You 'slit eyes and sly dogs'

White men think too highly of themselves. In the last few centuries during the hay day of their imperialism they were able develop and enrich themselves at the expense of the people of Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. With the might of their guns they were able to attack, invade,  kill , slaughter and rob off the wealth and resources of  their colonies with impunity. They have forgotten that before the 17th century the Europeans were by and large living a drab and miserable poor life compared to that of the Chinese in China. But the twist of fortune seems to have changed against white men now and they don't seem to realise that their fortune is at the ebbing tide and will soon reach the nadir of their misery again. They are too full of themselves and like to disparage and cast aspersions on others with very rude and uncivilise remarks.

Some years back in 2010 , a  British  musician had seen fit to call Chinese people as subspecies, and I had to object to what he said and wrote a reply to tell him that he and his likes are not only uncultured and uncivilised but also worst than subhuman. Below I reproduce the article of my reply to his ill remark.

PostPosted: Mon Sep 06, 2010 7:42 pm    Post subject: Low class British musician calling Chinese "subspecies "    
Low class British singer calling Chinese "subspecies".

A low class British singer called Morrissey described the Chinese people as "subspecies",saying that he did not like the way some Chinese treat animals. He said this in an interview with a British poet Simon Armitage in the Guardian Weekend magazine. This most uncultured and uncivilised barbarian whom I will describe as lower than subhuman conveniently prefers to ignore that his own kind the Westerners or Europeans have for centuries willfully illtreated animals in the form of sport or game and as a stake in mass gambling. I refer to the wanton and extreme cruelty meted out to bulls in the rings where their matadors stab the bulls repeatedly with very sharp steel daggers causing the bulls to die a slow agonizing death. While the matadors were carrying out the senseless and merciless killing of the bulls ,the whole horde of spectators would watch with scintillating delight by clapping, stamping their feet and shouting endless encouragement to the matadors , treating them as heroes. In the meantime millions of dollars were made by the organisers and the matadors , while the masses by and large made or lost further millions in betting. It is a casino at the expense of cruelty to the innocent bulls. A similar kind of cruelty to dolphins are being carried out in certain Scandinavian countries. Here the European contestants challenged to see who can club to death and cut off the most dolphin heads. The only difference here is that the arena of death for the dolphins is in the beaches. But just as in the bull ring money is made at the expense of killing the innocent dolphins and when the killing is done the sea is turned into a sea of red with the dolphins blood.

The sport of killing innocent animals was extended to killing of innocent humans as a sport. The wild marauding White men from Europe would descend on Africa and the Americas in the cruel days of colonisation in the seventeen and eighteen century . Here the white men would challenge to see who could shoot the greatest numbers of natives - men, women and children , no exception taken.

May be Morrissey and Simon Armitage would like to clarify how civilise and how human Westerners are compare with other people.In the case of other people, cruelty to animals may be sporadic and limited to small group of individuals, but in the case of Westerners cruelty to animals is a national sport as witnessed in the bull rings in Europe and United States and the bashing of dolphins to death in some Scandinavian countries . The sad thing is that the sport of killing animals is extended to the killing of innocent and defenseless natives in both Africa and America. Maybe Morrissey would now like to let the whole world know who belong to the "subspecies" and whether he himself is uncivilised , uncultured and worst still less than subhuman.

Under the guise of championing Human Rights and Democracy, whitemen led by white Americans are now on a killing spree again. They are now creating wars everywhere, killing innocent people by the hundreds of thousands , bringing great suffering and pains to millions more, destroying countries and toppling regimes to achieve their evil objective of world hegemony and total control. They are uncivilised, uncultured and being lower than subhuman they are lacking even in the most fundamental limits of ethics and morals of human conduct and behaviour and must not be allowed to go on a killing path again with impunity.

Gunther Oettinger – You ‘slit eyes’ and ‘sly dogs’….

This is the 21^st Century, and the world is getting smaller, but such racist remarks are still coming out from the mouth of not ordinary westerners but a Vice President of the EU, a German that thought it was ok to call Chinese ‘slit eyes’ and ‘sly dogs’. The Chinese would definitely be offended. Singaporean Chinese would not, I supposed, since they are Singaporeans and not Chinese, and definitely the bananas would nod in agreement with Oettinger, that Chinese are ‘slit eyes’ and ‘sly dogs’, bananas don’t have slit eyes and are not sly dogs.

Though under pressure from the threat of losing his promotion, he made an apology for his rude and racist remarks, his explanation actually made things worst. He said his remarks were ‘free from the liver’ or gut feel, not intentional to insult the Chinese, but just gut feel, if you know what gut feel meant. It is inside him, part of him, how he actually, really felt about the Chinese, a second nature reaction, nothing more, nothing less.

And he is not alone, he said, ‘his remarks merely reflected the colourful language typical of his home state, Baden Wuerttemburg’. Yes, he confessed and revealed that those were what his home state Germans are calling the Chinese, ‘slit eyes’ and ‘sly dogs’. He and his German did not intent to offend, just saying what they are saying all the time when referring to the Chinese.

This is his apology, appearing in the ST. ‘This was not my intention and I would like to apologise for any remark that was not as respectful as it should have been.’ How many Chinese would accept this as a sincere apology? Or would the Chinese said it is ok, he did not intend to insult, he was just saying things from his gut, all the Germans in his home town said it, it is common, normal, the Chinese are ‘slit eyes’ and ‘sly dogs’?

You fucking racist Germans. Please go to China and see how they would return the favour. But not to worry when you are in Singapore, we have no Chinese, only Singaporeans and they would not be offended, some may like it even.

Another wonderful ‘pow chiat’ success business formula from Singapore

Below is a quote taken from the Statestimes and I believe they have quoted it from the main media and must be true. I stand corrected.

‘Announced yesterday (Nov 4), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) ruled that only Temasek Holdings-owned companies SMRT and SBS Transit are allowed to bid for the new Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL).

Profits of the successful bidder will be guaranteed under the new contractual model where taxpayers will bear the revenue risk. PAP MP Ang Hin Kee claimed that when profits are guaranteed, the company will focus on quality:

“When you remove the revenue risk, meeting the service standards becomes the focal point of an operator’s ability to deliver.”’

I think all businessmen would love this formula. They should all make an application to the govt for a guaranteed profit figure and then promise to improve the quality of their service or products. How about that, go takers or not?  Let’s start with SIA, can buy back NOL and use this formula, who else want to take up this formula? How about HDB, profit guaranteed, no more billion dollar losses, and quality sure to improve. How about our universities, guaranteed profits to produce quality graduates, no mismatch? How about the telcos, SBS, the taxi drivers?

All the shops in Orchard Road would be forming a beeline to the government office to apply for guaranteed profits to improve products and services. This idea or concept is simply brilliant. I would never have thought of it and I don’t think anyone in the whole wide world would be able to come with such a clever idea. Count on the million dollar talents to come out with such an ‘out of the world idea’ to match out of the world salary. Now you can see the result of paying million dollars for million dollar ideas. Be grateful.

Soon all the companies in Singapore would be making profits and improving the quality of their products and services. Praise must be given when it is due. Another Uniquely Singapore innovative idea. Nevermind if the risk is borne by taxpayers. Our taxpayers are very rich. Sorry taxpayers, or shall I say thank you taxpayers, you are so kind and generous?

PS. I also want to go into business when profits are guaranteed.

Please convey this best quote to someone you really care for

What Jack Ma said is simply, do, invest time and effort on doing things that are worthwhile and you will acquire what you set out to do. If one spends time on useless and unproductive things, one will become wasteful and unproductive and gains nothing in the end.

Look at the Jakarta mob, what were they doing, what were they spending their time on? What is the priority in their lives?
