This call for Hsien Loong to sue is getting louder and louder. The WP
has called for it in Parliament with Low Thia Khiang firing the first
shot. Lim Tean has come out with a 8 minute video to tell Hsien Loong
why he has to sue. Similarly the whole social media is flooded with the
same call, sue, sue, sue.
Tan Jee Say up the ante by writing to the President to demand an inquiry
and also calling for Hsien Loong to step down. SDP's Chee Soon Juan too
made a similar call not much different from what Low Thia Khiang said
in Parliament.
This is the first time in Singapore’s history that the call for the
Prime Minister to step down is heard so loudly. And if Hsien Loong still
refuses to sue, this call is likely to gain credence and volume. More
and more people will be embolden to demand Hsien Loong to sue as this is
the PAP standard for integrity and conduct of its MPs and ministers,
and the PM is no exception. Sue or step down.
Singapore is a rule of law country. The law is blind and there can be no
exception. Would the people allow the siblings to get away with the
serious allegations of corruption and abuse of power by the PM without
being sued and without the PM clearing his name in the court of law? Is
Hsien Loong’s explanation in Parliament adequate to absolve him from the
allegations and so he is clean and innocent and there is no need for
any follow up? Case closed, move on?
Without a proper closure in the courts of law how would it affect the
integrity and credibility of Hsien Loong and his standing among his
ministers and his reputation among world leaders?
What if the call for his resignation continues to a state of civil
disobedience, like another mass gathering at Hong Lim Park? It would not
look very good for Hsien Loong nor for Singapore. There must be a
proper closure for Hsien Loong to stand tall again, clean and pure and
his integrity restored and unquestionable. That is the Singapore
standard, the PAP standard.
The main issue cannot be about brotherly relationship or family ties.
The main issue is whether the allegations have any basis, true or false.
That is the crux of the matter. Not whether to sue or not to sue.
Protest at Hong Lim Park
Activist Gilbert Goh is organising a public protest on the allegations
of abuse of power by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in his dealings with
his siblings.
The proposed event will be held at Hong Lim Park on Saturday (15 July) from 4pm to 7pm.

G20 Summit 2017 - Subtle signs and nuances
Then I saw a video clip showing how the guests were escorted to their spots with their names marked on the floor giving them no choice to muscle around, then I got the picture. Merkel specifically put Trump in a spot she chose for him. The USA is not a key player in Germany, in G20, cold shouldered.
The days of the Americans as the front seat or front row VIP are over. Move over Trump.

The Evil Empire - US, threatening another Korean War PART 1
This article is written as a sequel to Redbean's article, "The world's number one Outlaw threatening war in Korea." dated 07-07-2017.
Do not believe when US labels other countries as hostile, irresponsible, badly behave and a threat to world peace. The truth is always the other way round , the Americans.
The US has from the day of its independence from England adopted war as an acceptable means to national policy designs whether it is attacking and grabbing other countries lands, opening markets for trade, installing friendly puppet regimes and regime change. At the time of its independence US consisted of thirteen ( 13 ) states amounting to about Six Hundred Thousand Square miles. The rest of North America was still ruled by self-governing native American Indian states albeit under British sovereignty. For the start US planned the destruction of all the self-governing native Indian states and thus eventually acquired all the rest of North America with the resultant genocide of eighty-Five million North American natives or almost ninety-eight percent of them.
Beginning with the brutal genocidal wars on defenseless native American states US has been declaring and fighting more than 230 aggressive wars continuously out of its 242 years of its history. All these wars were criminal in nature as they were carried out wantonly and brutally against all the victimised countries with mass killings irrespective of men, women or children, genocide and destruction of scarce resources and native cultural sites, icons and artefacts.
The American people by and large are ignorant of their government using War as a national policy to achieve its ends of conquests and domination. US government and its state's mass media deliberately manipulate fake news and shore up official twisted and slanted official reports from the White House, CIA and Pentagon through misdirection.
For many years North Korea had accepted the good offices of China in the Six Party talks involving DPRK, China, Russia, South Korea, Japan and US to achieve a fair and just peaceful settlement to the Korean issue. Each time just as DPRK had accepted and signed the agreements the Evil Empire reneged, tore up the agreements and illaterally imposed further unwarranted conditions and sanctions. It then carried out frequent mass military drills involving the army, navy and airforce with Japan and South Korea to intimidate DPRK simulating an attack on North Korea. Thus DPRK has always been forced to react to US endless insidious provocations to protect itself from US attack and regime change by going nuclear.
US has never have any intention to a peaceful Korean settllement. Portraying North Korea as hostile and as an enemy will give US legitimacy in continuing to operate its over 400 military bases in South Korea, Japan, Guam, Philippines and the Marshall Islands
The crux of the Korean problem is not North Korea but the ultimate aim of the Evil Empire in containing China and Russia. US is using DPRK as an excuse and a proxy against China and Russia,the only two countries able to stand up to to US wild ambitions and capable of stopping the Evil Empire from world domination and hegemony.
The hot heads in Washington, CIA and Pentagon are contemplating and delving into the pros and cons of the possibilities of taking a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Russia and China foolishly thinking US will be able to survive and win a nuclear war.
The Evil Empire has more than 1,000 military bases around the world threatening every country big and small. The United Nations must demand that US close down all these military bases and let the world live in peace less humanity may have to face Armageddon due to US irrational wild ambitions.

A fig leaf covering deep cracks
This is what Chok Tong elegantly put it, a fig leaf covering the deep
cracks within the Lee family. Actually the cracks go must deeper and far
wider than one would notice. The main show is the fight between the
siblings, to fulfill LKY’s last wish or not to grant him his last wish.
In Parliament, all the PAP ministers and MPs have taken the side of
Hsien Loong, not to demolish the house at Oxley Road. Some when further
to cast aspersions on LKY’s state of mind when he signed the will. The
main battle is being fought with Hsien Yang and Wei Ling on one side
against the PAP govt on the other side led by Hsien Loong.
There is another sub plot going on between the Lee Kuan Yew camp aka known as the PAP old guards versus the Hsien Loong camp aka the young turks. This battle blew up when the ST published an article by Kishore, Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, criticizing the loud hailer diplomacy coming from the Rajaratnam School of International Studies on the South China Sea dispute. Kishore’s stand was that small states must be more circumspect and know where it stands unlike the days of LKY. Coming soon after the bollocking from China for spouting too much, talking too loud on an issue that affected every country, not just Singapore that has no stake in it, then the after effects of the Terrex Incident and the non invite to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the proponents of loud hailer diplomacy felt like Kishore was rubbing salt into the wound. They responded vigorously and violently calling Kishore’s comments as ‘muddle, mendacious and indeed dangerous’. This was quickly supported by Shanmugam as a brilliant response to slam the professor. Let me quote the Today paper, ‘Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam on Sunday said Mr Kausikan’s response was brilliant as he slammed the professor’s piece as “intellectually questionable”, adding that Singapore did not get to where it is by thinking small.’
This was not all. Kishore was accused by Kausikan and I quote the same paper, ‘I disagree, it is a thinly disguised attack on PM’. The immediate thought was that it was a way to divert the target to the PM and Kishore would not look very good or would not be in Hsien Loong’s good book for long. Kishore quickly replied that he wrote the piece a few weeks back and the timing to run it to coincide with Hsien Loong having to defend his position in Parliament was coincidental. ‘Hence, it is obviously not an attack on PM. By floating this canard, the officials are distracting attention from their own contributions to our problems.’ Kishore added. Kausikan responded by saying, ‘I accept that he may not have intended it as an attack on PM, but many read it that way…I am glad he has clarified that was not his intention.’
Many would have let this episode come to passé as a bickering between the ex govt officials. But wait a minute. Why was the call by Kishore seen as an attack on Hsien Loong? Why was Hsien Loong in the picture? A Freudian slip has let out a jigsaw piece to explain what all the shouting at China to follow the ruling of the so called ‘UN backed’ Hague Tribunal was all about and also the subsequent events related to Singapore’s relations with China and the USA. This slip makes the picture complete to the observant and why two DPMs have had to make trips to Beijing lately to mend fences.
The battle of the PAP old guards versus the young turks has just started. Fortunately or unfortunately, not many PAP old guards, or LKY camp are still around. The days of the old guards are numbered and fading away. The young turks shall rule the day and more loud hailer diplomacy can be expected. They have been bestowed the imperial edict to do so.
Kishore must be feeling very lonely. His good advice is like casting pearls to the swine. Where are the old guards? Have they pledged new loyalty given that the LKY era is over?
A new era has begun.

The world’s number one Outlaw threatening war in Korea
One war after another, one regime change after another, the warmongering
nation of the USA is planning to start another war in the Korean
Peninsula. What is the reason for it? North Korea has tested ICBM that
could possibly reach Alaska? Why is this a threat to the USA when
thousands of American ICBMs could flatten North Korea that is thousands
of miles away from continental USA? Who is threatening who? Who is
threatening to use military force on the other? It is the big bully of
course, the world’s number one Outlaw!
It is not that the North Koreans are capable of starting a war of invasion against the Americans or stupid enough to want to do a mission impossible. The growing capability of the North Koreans as a threat is only as far as to negate or limit the Americans from threatening them. With the growing military might, the North Koreans could inflict a small dent on the American defence shield at most. They could not do much damage to the Americans and would invite total annihilation of their country if they dare to make a single wrong move.
The threat is that the Americans now cannot anyhow threaten them with military options, can no longer threaten a pre emptive strike and get away scot free. The Americans cannot bully the North Koreans at will anymore. The North Koreans can now give the Americans a black eye should it dare to.
The real threat is the Americans everyday threatening to invade the North Koreans and wanting to conduct a preemptive nuclear strike. Read the article from 4th Media below on what the Americans are doing and planning to do to the North Koreans. Yes, the real devil is the Americans. And the Americans are at the North Korean doorstep conducting wargames simulating an invasion while North Korea is tens of thousands of miles from the American shore. This is the kind of hypocrisy the Americans are making the silly Asians and the rest of the world to believe in. The North Koreans are a threat to the Americans when the truth is that the Americans are the real threat to the North Koreans, clear and present danger.
War can start at any moment and the two Koreans would be made to kill and destroy each other at the command of the Americans. What is the UN going to do to stop this monster from starting another war in Asia? What is the world community going to do about it, blame the North Koreans and gang up with the evil Americans to start a war against the North Koreans?
Everything the North Koreans is doing is exactly to prevent the Americans from attacking them. The weaker the North Koreans are militarily, the more tempting would they become for an American attack. The stronger they are militarily, the more nuclear weapons and ICBMs they have, the safer they are from the evil Americans, and the less likelihood that they would suffer the same fate as Iraq and Libya.
The mad Americans are bent on starting a war in Korea and in Asia. Their war economy depends on war to survive. Their world hegemony depends on suppressing and threatening the rest of the world with wars. And war is what the Americans want, away from the American continent. And many silly Asian leaders love wars and are easily manipulated to go to war. Pray the Koreans are not so stupid to kill each other at the behest of the evil Americans.
The American outlaws are the real threat to world peace.
Extracts from an article in the 4th Media
… James R. Lilley puts it succinctly when he says: “At the end of the Cold War, if North Korea didn’t exist we would have to create it as an excuse to keep the Seventh Fleet in the region.” …
IN its latest move early June 2017, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) unanimously adopted a resolution drafted by the United States to expand the scope of sanctions against Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) over its latest missile tests.
Prior to this the UNSC slapped the North Korea with six rounds of sanctions, but Washington and its allies have been pushing for more powerful and crippling sanctions in an attempt to halt the increasing wave of missile tests by Pyongyang.
Meanwhile, President Trump said “all options are on the table” (implying military solution), while his Vice President Pence declared the “end of strategic patience.”
Pence added:
“The patience of the United States in this region has run out …………The world has witnessed the strength and resolve of the US in actions taken in Syria and Afghanistan.”
Pence was alluding to the 59 cruise missiles the US launched at a Syrian military airfield, and the 22,000-pound “mother of all bombs,” the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used in combat by the United States, dropped in Afghanistan.
US War Games
Right after striking Syria, President Trump dispatched a giant armada led by an aircraft carrier, USS Carl Vinson, to the Korean peninsula as a show of force. The US also dispatched a nuclear-powered guided missile submarine, the USS Michigan, to the region, capable of launching up to 150 Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of about 1,000 miles. The 6,900-tonne USS Cheyenne arrived in the South Korea port of Busan.
The US also has nearly 80,000 US military personnel in South Korea and Japan, as well as military aircraft and other hardware on a high state of alert in South Korea. The USS Ronald Reagan and its carrier strike group are based at the Japanese port of Yokosuka, while the US 7th Fleet, armed with tactical nuclear weapons, patrols the region.
The US nukes are also based in South Korea and Guam, while US heavy B-1 and B-52 bombers can fly from North America to Korea. In the event of war with North Korea, the US military take over the South Korean military with some 625,000 personnel as well as naval, air and anti-missile systems.
To top it all, U.S. performs, twice annually, the largest war games in the world with South Korea, in which it practises an assassination of the North Korea’s top leadership, the invasion and occupation of North Korea, and a nuclear first strike against North Korea with imitation armaments.
The Foal Eagle war games include 300,000 South Korean soldiers and 15,000 US troops. This year, the exercises also feature Navy SEAL Team Six, which is best known for assassinating Osama bin Laden on Obama’s orders.
Moreover, an American plan was made public last September proclaiming that “the North’s capital city will be reduced to ashes and removed from the map if it shows any signs of using a nuclear weapon”.
