For several years, the Islamic extremists aka terrorists, have found a
formula to hit back at the Americans and Europeans for attacking and
invading their countries, destroying their economies, homes and lives.
Of course the Americans and Europeans would deny such terrorist acts
against the Islamic world. Where got, the Americans and European
soldiers and bombers in the air were there for regime change, to rid
them of their dictators, to save them from the horrors of their
dictators. The Americans and Europeans were the angels of God to save
the Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East states. The Americans and
Europeans may still think it is their right, white men’s burden, to
civilize the uncivilized hordes of Asia and Africa, particularly the
Middle East. They took all the problems in the Middle East as white
men’s problems and blasting them to the Stone Age is ok, killing and
destroying their countries are ok, to help and civilize these people.
But these people are not going to accept this fate anymore. They are
hitting back and found the best way is to drive cars into crowds in
western cities, creating fear and destruction along the way to make
these cities and countries inhospitable, just like the American and
European terrorists did to their countries and people. No?
For every few men that rammed their cars into the civilians, the whole
police force, including the military, would be jolted into action and
the city locked down. But nothing really much could be done as the
damage had been done and the terrorists were prepared to die for their
acts. The western govts were hapless and did not know how to end this
rage of aimless destruction of lives and properties.
Now one white man came out with the answer, tackle violence with
violence of the same kind, applying the same formula. The white man just
drove his car into a muslim crowd after midnight prayer in a London
mosque and delivered the same destruction and hurt to the innocent crowd
of Muslims. And he got the gumption to shout, ‘I want to kill all
Muslims’.
This act alone has changed the picture of the war against Islamic
terrorism and the Islamic terror war against the Americans and
Europeans. The Islamic terrorists would not believe that white men could
use the same method of terror to get even, to get at them, at their
Muslim community, the innocent ones. The cries of hate, fear and anger
were just as loud as the cries when the Islamic terrorists hit the
innocent crowd of non Muslims.
What could happen is that there are just as many extremists in the white
community as they are in the Muslim community that would think this is
the way to deal with the problem. The Islamic terrorists think they
could get away with their acts of terror but no more. The more they
attacked the innocent whites, the likelihood of copycat attacks by some
white extremists on the innocent Muslim community would be greater. It
could and would become a game of tit for tat. You hit us we hit you
where it hurts you badly.
Both are acts of terror that should not be allowed to go berserk,
uncontrolled and beyond control. Would sanity rule the day and bring an
end to such terrorist acts from both sides? Or would the Islamic
terrorists continue to do what they think is best and provoke more white
extremists to return the favour, an eye for an eye? Would there be more
white men driving their cars into Muslim crowds? When would this end?
How would this end? Let’s pray for peace on earth. Let’s pray to God and
Allah to do something right for the sake of human beans.
Shit, why have I this feeling that both are sleeping or on vacation.
Chinatown hawker centre. Hawker Centres are a national heritage, selling a wide variety of food at very reasonable prices. They are spread across the whole island and is part of the Singapore way of life.

The world’s number one terrorist wants China to step up effort against terrorists
Who is the
world’s number one terrorist? Judge not by what the media said but what the
terrorists are doing. Judge them by how many wars of terror they are engaged
in, how many cities, countries they have destroyed, how many lives they have
taken, how many have been maimed, people, young and old became homeless. No
matter what they called their terror acts, wars, legitimate wars, fabricated
wars, wars against terrorism, wars against mad leaders, regime change, they are
all acts of terror when many people were killed.
Incidentally,
who have been training, breeding, feeding and arming the terrorists around the
world, the number one terrorist of course. And after creating so many terrorist
groups, training and arming them with the latest weapons from the Americans,
the number one terrorist is asking China to help fight these terrorists. And if
China says no, then China is irresponsible and not doing its part as a
responsible nation.
Should not
the whole world get together to stop the number one terrorist from engaging in
wars of terror and wars of destruction all over the world first? This is like
creating all the shit and demanding China to clean up the shit.
The number
one terrorist should stop shitting and there would be no shit for anyone to
clean. They are still stirring shit in the South China Sea, in the Korean
Peninsula and tell China it is China’s problem to solve. They repeatedly
provoke and threatened North Korea and tell China it is China’s problem. They
want China to do their bidding, to undermine its relationship with its allies. How
convenient, how clever?
In Today’s
paper, Christopher Hill also chipped in with the American fabricated narrative
that North Korea is planning to invade South Korea despite the American war
machine and nuclear weapons hanging over his head. The only country that has been invading other
countries since WW2 is none other than the number one terrorist nation. They
invaded Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria and latest the Philippines by sending
in their soldiers without the consent of the Philippine’s President.
The
terrorist problem in the world is everyone’s problem, not the American problem?

Ministerial Committee versus Hague Tribunal
Jeannette
Chong-Aruldoss, another member of the SPP, described the Ministerial Committee
as a “tragic joke”.
“It is like the Boss of a company has a quarrel
with Mr Someone. Then the Boss gathers a number of his employees and empowers
them to decide who is right: he (the Boss) or Mr Someone. Boss submits a long
testimony to this group of his employees giving them his account of the events
and his opinion about Mr Someone’s motives.
How on earth can such a group of subordinates,
who are otherwise answerable to the Boss, be expected to act independently and
to able to make an objective decision? Does such a dubious committee really
have the option to decide against their Boss?
It is a rule of natural justice that a man
cannot be a judge in his own cause: “Nemo judex in causa sua”. Asking your
underlings to determine the outcome of a case in which you have a personal
interest in, is to me a breach of that rule.
Tragically, the joke is on us, the citizenry.
For it does not bode well for us when we cannot detect, turn a blind eye to or
condone conflict of interests and use of state powers for personal benefits.”
After reading Jeannette
Chong’s comment about the Ministerial Committee it straight away reminded me of
the ‘UN supported’ Hague Tribunal that ruled against China on the SCS Islands
case. In this tribunal, supposedly a private court that willing parties went
for an arbitration but the western media trying to con the world that it was a ‘UN
backed’ organization as if it was an UN body, it was set up unilaterally by the
Philippines and its backers ie the USA and Japan, without China participating,
chose its own judges, paid the judges to decide in their favour against China.
And the Americans and some western countries including little USAs went about
trumpeting that it was a fair and ‘UN backed’ court and that its decision must
be complied with. Today all these silly buggers are like what the Hokien phrase
said, ‘chui tat lan’, all voiceless, become dumb, after their scheme was exposed
as hollow, silly and mischievous.
Now, would this kind of
court be a tragic joke, ridiculous? Setting up
your own court, choosing and buying your own judges to judge against another
party that did not agree and did not want to be a part of it? Compares the
Ministerial Committee to this kangaroo court, which is the bigger joke? Was
there any natural justice, did supporting this kangaroo court bode well for
Singapore as a country that has been touting the rule of law?

The Lee Family Feud – petty or grave
Singapore will not be
dragged down by Lee family's 'petty disputes': ESM Goh
Above are two headlines
in Channel News Asia online appearing one above the other on 17 June as if the
editor intentionally placed them there to let the readers see the
contradiction. Whether this is petty or grave is a matter of opinion, and depends
on whether one is a party to the feud or just a bystander watching with
disinterest on the sideline.
Many have been saying
that this is a petty family matter and should not be out in the public as it
concerns the inheritance of LKY. Is it that simple, about whether his family home
should be demolished or to be gazetted as a national monument? Or perhaps it is
like what Lee Sheng Wu said, if one’s million dollar salary depends on not
understanding an issue, then it is petty to them. The second issue would be of
public interest for sure. The squabbles between the siblings could be private
and personal that the public need not know.
The open joint letter
added a few other factors to make it a public concern, ie the abuse of power
charges, using state organs and threats or fear of personal safety. What would
these allegations mean to the public? Petty or grave? The PAP likes to talk about
the intent and purpose of an issue. The allegation of abuse of power is no
petty matter, or is it? The abuse of state organs too is no small matter. What
about the fear or threat of personal safety? This last part is more a
digression from the main issue.
Hsien Loong is going to Parliament
to defend these allegations. So, do you think it is petty or grave? Hsien Loong
even lifts the whip and encourages all the MPs from both camps to question him
vigorously. Not sure if the format of questioning is still the same, that MPs
must submit questions one week in advance or something like that, or would they
be allowed to throw questions at him off the cuff, on the spot? Whichever, this is the first time that a PM
has volunteered to be challenged and questioned vigorously, ie giving
permission for the MPs to ‘tarok him jialat jialat’ in Parliament. He must have
believed in the saying ‘genuine gold not afraid of fire’ or 真金不怕火. The
MPs can light all the fire in Parliament but he would stand out unaffected.
See how grave is this matter? Hsien Loong even apologized to the
people. Now who is saying that this is petty and the people are tired of it?
The next big question, would
Hsien Loong dare to sue his brother and sister, the children of Lee Kuan Yew, or
put them behind bars for whatever charges? The loyalists and the old guards
would not allow it, the cabinet ministers would not allow it, the people of
Singapore would not accept it. Doing so would be the downfall of Hsien Loong
and the PAP, I think.
There is a stronger
message in the joint statement that was made public. What did Wei Ling and
Hsien Yang want the public to know that is more important than the status of
the family home and the family squabble? What is the message? I would not venture further than where the
angels fear to tread. Obviously Hsien Loong and those that could see that this
is not a petty family dispute can see the picture very clearly.

The ultimate test for Singapore and all Singaporeans
A family
feud is now in centre stage in Singapore’s plastic squeaky clean politics.
Everything is now on display and the media could do itself more harm to attempt
to take sides as the social media is there to offer the truth in its purest
form, uncensored, as it is. Two opposing views will be aired unrestrained for
all to see and judge. Every Singaporean, every foreigner living in the little
island would be watching and would have his views and opinions plus a generous
dose of gossips and wild interpretations of the event. The good, bad and ugly
would have no where to hide but be exposed or exposed themselves.
Right at the
very top is the integrity, honesty, conduct and honour of the PM at stake. What
he said and what his siblings said would all be weighed and he has to come up
clean and shining as before the event. Anything else would not be good for him
and his party and govt. The PM is put on the spot light, put under severe test
and severe examination and cross examination in the public court of the people.
Then the
members of his Cabinet/MPs too would be watched carefully on what they said or
what they did not say, what they did or failed to do right. They cannot be
neutral or hide under ‘no comments’. They will have to take positions, legally,
politically or morally on this feud. Can they afford to be neutral, to hide in
the toilet? They are not just politicians but deemed honourable, righteous and
responsible leaders of the country, to stand up, to speak out and not to hide
under the table. How could they have no opinion or no view on this affair?
Would they take positions based on political convenience, morally right or legally
correct? My guess, the parrots would have lost their voice and remained ‘diam
diam’ for good measures. No comment! Eh, this is not just a family affair, many
aspects of it concern the govt of the day, the integrity of leaders.
The opposition
political parties and politicians would also be expected to make their comments
and keeping mum is not an option especially for those that have made this a
second nature or a policy.
Govt organs
and civil servants too would be watched on what they do or say. Making a wrong
move, choosing the wrong side, could be deadly, a misstep can be very costly,
pun intended.
And the
people, the supporters of the PAP/govt, the grateful hoi polloi of LKY, and
those that are in the opposing camp would be watching closely on the happenings
and would be making their own judgement, not just on legal issues but moral issues
and the issues of filial piety, issues on honouring their idol and fulfilling
his last wish. Would they grant their hero his last wish or would they refuse
him his last wish now that he is dead and gone? Worst, when the lion king is
dead, would they devour his young lions?
This is an
occasion when the whole country is under watch, put to a test. Singapore is a
nation under a microscope. What is Singapore all about, what kind of govt and leaders
are ruling this island are now being questioned. Is Singapore the honourable, rule
by law, morally upright priesthood nation, or it has all been a myth, a bad
dream, and the truth is ugly and embarrassing to talk about?
