Jason Wong wrote an article on a Singaporean who returned home after spending 30 years overseas only to be jailed for 33 months! The article is in TRE and here is a quote,
‘The PAP has managed to instill fear even in its judges to hand out ridiculous jail sentences. Let’s take the case of 44 year-old Ang Lee Thye. This gentleman left Singapore at age 14 for the United States. Lived in the states presumably all this time, and then at age 41 decided that he missed Singapore enough to risk a jail sentence. He actually surrendered to authorities when he returned to Singapore. Boy did the PAP high court judges give it to him good. The lower court judge low-balled by giving Mr. Ang a 24 months sentence, but these “more” intelligent judges upped his jail time from 24 to 33 months!’
The law is the law. Yes who does not know that? But when the law is unfair, difficult to enforce equitably, and worst, puts Singaporeans at a huge disadvantage, should not the law be reviewed, should not the people that are paid millions by the Singaporeans, put their heads together to come out with a more equitable law to be fair to Singaporeans, to do justice to Singaporeans, the people that are paying them their million dollar salaries but become their victims with their laws? I am talking about the laws on National Service.
Yes, superficially the law is fair to all Singaporeans. I am not going to split hair on this and pick up exceptions. Generally this law is applicable to all Singaporeans, the rich and the poor, the dark horses and the white horses. Ok, take it as that. The law when applied to all Singaporeans is fair. The point is that Singapore is now flooded by foreigners that come and go, to steal the jobs of Singaporeans, steal their girlfriends and wives, while they are serving NS or doing reservist training to protect the country and people.
These foreigners are having the best of everything, with advantages in getting jobs, even getting free education paid by Singaporeans without having to serve NS or NS liabilities. And they got promoted to be the bosses of Singaporeans, to have Singaporeans working under them even if they are younger and have questionable qualifications and experience. Even if they become Singaporeans, or children of PRs, they could easily tear away the citizenship, give up their PRs and return to their home countries, skip doing NS and sell their flats at a profit to daft Singaporeans, and the daft Singaporeans were none the wiser. They are benefitting from all the things being NOT Singaporeans without any responsibility and liability while the poor Singaporeans will be jailed should they misstep and cross the line on this NS law.
It is high time, overdue, to revise this NS law to make it fairer to Singaporeans, not against Singaporeans and putting the foreigners, the PRs and the temporary new Singaporean at a huge advantage. Something must be done to change the situation for Singaporeans to come home again instead of staying away like convicts. Singapore is home to Singaporeans. Home has a special meaning to all Singaporeans. Don’t we want our Singaporeans to come home freely and happily? Do we have a heart to feel for our Singaporeans brothers and sisters, that they are one of us? Or we rather give their places to the foreigners that contributed nothing but sponging on our system, stealing our jobs and making Singaporeans looking really stupid?
What do you think? Are the NS laws fair to our fellow citizens?
I dunno want to laugh or cry for this Ang Lee Thye?

Redbean Editorial piece
The United States made a pointed statement to North Korea that it would resort to violence, to attack North Korea if necessary. The United States have removed its veil as a peace loving Empire and would attack any country, particularly North Korea, if it did not stop its denuclearization programme. The world must come to the expectation that only the United States is allowed to have all the nuclear weapons at its disposal and no small countries would be allowed to have nuclear weapons except those that the United States could not attack without being counter attacked and those countries that the United States permitted to have nuclear weapons.
The United States have gone from bad to worse, instead of pretending to be a peace loving country, it is now saying it clearly that it would use force against smaller countries, to attack smaller countries, to conduct wars at its own discretion. Like a juvenile bully, the United States would use its big clout, its military power to bully smaller states to keep them from pursuing nuclear goals. Only the United States can have nuclear goals and ambition. It made it clear that it would impose economic sanctions against countries wanting to have nuclear weapons.
It’s avowed reason is for the United States to attack any country under the guise or deceptive term called regime change. Regime change is the United States code to invade a country to change its legitimate govt of the day. The North Korean govt must bear in mind that it would suffer the same fate of Iraq, Libya and Syria if it did not possess nuclear weapons to defend itself against an invasion by the United States. Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons are the only credible and effective deterrent against a vicious attack by the United States and its allies and their hostile policies of ‘regime change’.
When the Evil Empire think of nothing but its own military dominance and control over smaller countries, it sees nothing intrinsically wrong to attack and invade smaller states wanting to have nuclear weapons of their own, no matter that such weapons are for the defence against an attack by the United States. Given the peculiar and outrageous thinking of the United States, having nuclear weapons is the only means of survival and to prevent an attack by the United States.
However there is a way to end the brinkmanship in the Korean crisis. The United States must know that North Korea has the ability to strike back at the American continent and it is for the good of the United States to capitulate its aggressive intent to attack North Korea and to negotiate peacefully and to accept North Korea as another nuclear power.
The United States must reach a peaceful deal with emerging nuclear powers like Iran and North Korea, to engage them diplomatically instead of threatening them with military confrontation and war. The United States must move beyond sabre rattling, to come to the negotiating table to reach a peaceful settlement with North Korea and Iran, to lower tension and not to turn peace into war.
The United States cannot hope to solve the nuclear problems on its own without bringing in other nuclear powers to negotiate for a new status quo. The United States must change from its unilateral policy of wanting to have all the nuclear weapons to threaten other countries and not allowing other countries to have nuclear weapons to protect themselves against a mad and trigger happy United States that live on wars, that thrive on wars and profited from wars.

Singapore got poor people meh?
Gilbert Goh posted an article about the 200% hike in rental of a single mum living in a HDB flat. I quote,
‘A young single mum with a primary school-going daughter related to us how HDB mercilessly increases their rent from $61 to $230 during renewal when her new job carries a salary which increases from $1200 to $1500 before CPF deduction.
All the joy of having a $300 pay jump from a new job became a curse when HDB upon renewal of her lease learnt of the good news and decided to increase her rent.’
With a $300 pay hike, after less CPF, the single mum would have a little extra of $250+ to ease her living expense burden. Now with a $169 rental hike, there would be only $89 surplus left. Water fee hike, transport fee hike, hike of food prices and what not, the $89 may end up with only $50 left.
So the employer gave a pay hike to employees but the money goes to who? It would be quite different for people getting a 10% pay hike on a $10,000 or $20,000 salary or more. But a $300 pay hike to the poor, oops, cannot say this word, Singapore where got poor people, should use lower income people, it is a lot but ended up in other people’s pockets.
What to say? Our Robin Hoods are very good at robbing the poor to give to the rich. Oops, sorry again, Singapore got no poor people to be robbed. Robin Hood would have a big problem in Singapore because there is no poor people to rob. All the so called poor people have a lot of money in their CPF savings and these can be used to pay for more compulsory schemes to benefit them. Such lucky people. No need to think how to spend their savings, the govt thinks for them and helps them to spend.

American running dogs and proxy propagandists
There are too many institutes of higher learnings and international studies in Singapore and the intellectuals working there consist a large proportion of foreigners. These pseudo intellectuals are highly paid with local tax payers money. They especially the foreign intellectuals can possibly also be be CIA paid American fifth columns. They have constantly been articulating pro American propaganda under the guise of fair comment on current international and regional affairs and at the same time they feel no shame in frequently articulating anti-China statements and insinuate that China is damaging peace and security in East Asia and South East Asia. These pseudo intellectuals must be made to realise that they and their countries must eventually be responsible for the negative outcome of their fake news and insidious pro American propaganda and will have to pay a heavy painful price for unnecessarily provoking China with falsehoods and aggressive statements
During the 242 years of its existence America had initiated and fought not less than 230 wars of aggression and invasion resulting in the lost of many independent sovereign native American Indian states, lost of large swathes of Mexican territories comprising the present states of Florida, Texas, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizonda and California, and the lost of Hawaii and Guam.s independence In 1898 US attacked and invaded the Philippines. The heroic patriotic Philippinos fought bravely and courageously resisted the barbaric Americans but eventually succumbed to American military might after more than 300, 000 Philippnos were mercilessly killed and slaughtered by the American invaders. Philippines only gained its independence in 1948 after the Second World War.. though with many American military bases in the country it can be said it is always somewhat under semi-colonial American rule.
China in its 5,000 years of Civilization had never attacked or invaded any country. On the contrary it had always been attacked and invaded by foreigners. It was invaded by the Mongols in the 13th century, by the Manchus from 1642 to 1911, by the Russians from 1689 to 1885 with the adherent lost of more than three million square miles of Chinese lands to Russia and by other European powers, Japan and America from 1830s to 1940s.
Thus from the historical perspective anyone with the right sense of mind , logic and intellect should clearly discern or see which is a benign power China or US. If the intellectuals at Iseas-Yusof Ishak Institute and other institutes still think and see US as a benign power they should have their minds examined at mental hospitals.
I hope in my next article I will deal with the fake arguments of these pro-American running dogs. Beware of manuafactured American fake news and toxic propaganda which are being helped, harped and propagated by US fifth columns all over the world.

Donald Trump - Would he be the number One villian in human civilisation?
As the Washington rakes up the tension of war in Korea, the Americans are chuckling in glee as if they are about to watch another Hollywood war movie when the Americans would turn out victorious and the victims wiped out forever. And they could pop champagne and bath in the glories of more war heroes. The rest of the world is watching silently with disinterest as if it is a non event, it does not involve them, does not affect them and their lives will go on as per normal. This did not prevent AFP from another report to demonise North Korea with the heading, "N Korea the 'greatest threat' faced by US" or should it be "USA the 'greatest threat' to N Korea and human civilisation'?
The war hawks in Washington are shouting war, beating the drums of war. But do they know what this war means? The weapons available to both combatants are unthinkable that no sane men or women would ever think that the damage would be bearable and acceptable. Each nuclear bomb on a major city could wipe out tens of millions of people in a scale never before seen or experienced in human history. Imagine the world without Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, without Seoul, without Pyongyang, without New York, Washington, LA, Chicago and many big cities in the countries engaged in this war. And this is only a conservative estimate of the destruction. Should China and Russia get into the picture, the USA, Russia, China and Europe could go up in smokes.
What is the reason, the unacceptable and intolerable reason that makes this war unavoidable? No, the North Koreans are not threatening to attack anyone with nuclear weapons. The North Koreans are developing their own nuclear weapons for their own defence, to be able to retaliate should the Americans attack them. The North Koreans are in no position to go to war with the Americans and hope to survive a holocaust. The North Koreans are not mad and stupid to want to do that, to invite their own destruction. They are trying their best to develop a little insurance against the daily threats of an American invasion.
The really mad and warlike monsters are those in power in the White House and Washington and in Tokyo. These people think it is ok, alright, reasonable, acceptable, to start a nuclear war with the North Koreans, that the destruction and potential loss of tens of millions of lives, even threatening the existence of human civilisation just to stop the North Koreans from developing their small defence capability against an attack by the Americans and Japanese is worth it.
They believe in their own madness, that the Korean leaders are mad people and wanting to attack the Americans and it is right and good to destroy the Korean people now, even risking losing tens of millions of Americans, Japanese and South Koreans. This is the real madness, the real threat to the killings of millions of people on a false belief and assumption by a few mad people.
Would Trump really want to do this and become the greatest villian in human history and civilisation? Does he appreciate how serious and destructive is this war out of nothing but an imagined and self created fear of a straw man? When the nuclear button is pushed, there is no end to how many nuclear bombs would be fired and how many cities would be no more.
How sane or insane are those people in Washington and the White House? Should they be locked up forever before they destroy this world and this civilisation all because of a red herring? Tillerson spoke at the UN urging the world to act against the North Koreans before catastrophic consequences happened. He is now rounding up the stupid Asean countries to help the Americans to destroy North Korea, a standard trick used over and over again against small countries. Would the Asean leaders be smart enough to see through this devious strategy and be aware that they too would one day be demonized just like North Korea?
The reality is that catastrophic consequences would happen if the Americans attack the North Koreans now. If not, no catastrophic consequences will happen and the status quo will remain, the world will stay in peace. It is the Americans that are going to start a mad war of unimaginable consequences. Who would be there to stop these mad men and women in Washington? Who is there to stop Donald Trump from becoming the number one villain of human civilization?
