The Indian soldiers have been in the Chinese territory on the Sino
Bhutan border on the pretext of protecting Bhutan’s territory from
China. They moved in to stop the Chinese from building roads in an area
between China and Bhutan that is not Indian territory. China has given
several warnings for the Indians to withdraw voluntarily but the Indians
have stayed put in defiance, violating Chinese territorial integrity.
The Indians arrogantly spoke of their superior military strength and
completely ignored the Chinese warnings. They have reasons to do so as
they came well prepared just like in 1962. The Chinese were caught off
guard as their people on the ground were construction workers with a few
border guards that were not prepared for an Indian incursion. The
Indians have been amassing their troops at the border and any hasty and
unprepared reaction by the Chinese border guards would be dealt a severe
blow by the Indians.
India has been preparing for this day since the humiliating defeat in
the 1962 Sino Indian border war. The shame inflicted on the Indians was
too much to swallow and till today they are still claiming that they
were caught unprepared despite building up a dedicated 4th Army Corp
specifically to seize the disputed territories from China. Now they have
stationed their elite 33rd Army at the border region, all prepared for
war with China. The 33rd Army is backed by Brahmos missiles, Sukhoi 30s
bought from Russia, Apache helicopters and field guns and tanks bought
from the Americans. The Chinese would be knocked unconscious if they
dared to chase the Indian soldiers out of their territory without proper
preparations.
This is a major reason why the Chinese are still not acting. They would
also want the whole world to know that it is the Indians that are
encroaching on Chinese land. In the meantime they would need to move in
their air force, armies and anti aircraft and anti missile units to
defend against the Indian forces lined up along the Sino Indian border. The Indians are very confident that they could take on the Chinese and
avenge their defeat in 1962 this time with a well prepared military
force, like their very well prepared 4th Army Corp. Only after the
humiliating defeat then that they put blame on their unpreparedness.
This time they are on record claiming that they are well prepared and
would win this war and could not hide under another excuse of not being
prepared if defeated again. And this time it is on record that they have
intruded into Chinese territory.
The Chinese would need time to prepare themselves in the face the
massive deployment of Indian forces along the border. This is not going
to be a quick and decisive war with just foot soldiers. It is going to
involve missiles, artillery and the air forces unless the Chinese can
get it over with quickly. While everyone is wondering when would this
war begin, the Chinese would be building up their forces to meet the
Indian forces, might with might, men for men, machine for machine. This
is not play play game. This is serious and going to be big. A military
offensive to defend their territory occupied by an invading force cannot
be taken lightly.

Commuters must beg for fare hikes to improve quality of service
'Totally waiting for Khaw boon wan to emerge with a champion solution of
raising MRT fares to raise standards. Look at what the past few fare
hikes have given Singaporeans. Did it give us better service standards?'
Sandra Chin
Sandra Chin posted an article in the TRE about the numerous fare hikes but with no improvement in train services, rather more serious failures and stoppages on a daily basis. She is aghast and frustrated like many commuters. Everyone is hoping for PAP's fix all expert Khaw Boon Wan to fix this problem fast but after more than a year, things did not seem to improve.
As I have stated way back then when Boon Wan volunteered to solve the MRT problem after the success in building more HDB flats to cut down the queue and runaway prices, this may also be a self inflicted problem like the HDB. In the HDB's case it was easier as the cause of the problem was not building enough flats or slowing down the building of more flats in Mah Bow Tan's watch.
In the MRT case, it was neglect in maintenance and engineering services that led to an accumulation of faults and shortfalls in maintenance. Short of a major revamp, the overload in capacity due to rise in ridership and years of maintenance neglect would not be so easily resolved.
The other problem as raised by Sandra Chin as the cause of poor services must be not enough fare hikes or fare hikes not high enough. Maybe, I say maybe, commuters should beg the MRT to raise fares so that services can be improved quickly. As we have heard this mantra for years, you want good services, better quality services, be prepared to pay more.
So, commuters, please go down on your knees and beg for more fare hikes. The quality of service would definitely improve and the regular and daily stoppages, breakdowns, slowdowns and delays could disappear over night. Pay hikes or higher pays, or higher fees are the miracle cures for social, economic and system problems in this island. Everything can be solved or will be solved by paying more.
See the quality of our graduates, after paying so many years of tuition fee hikes, all now so qualified to drive taxis! Today we are the city that have the most and highest qualified taxi drivers in the world. See how they compete with foreigners with poor degrees or degrees from degree mills and ended up working as temps or short term contract staff! 47,000 applied to be Uber/Grab drivers, a choice job of Singaporeans, to be their own boss.
Pay more and get more and better quality and services is the way forward. It never fails. Quick, quick, more fare hikes the way to go for better services.

Change is happening inside me
Two things this year prompted me to ask what is happening to me. I did
not watch the NDP. And yesterday, 20 Aug, I did not watch Hsien Loong’s
National Day Rally Speech as well. Both were events that I hardly missed
for the last few decades. Today, I did not even bother to catch up on
repeat telecasts or reading the papers to find out what was happening.
There was no desire, interest or anticipation of wanting to watch the
NDP or wanting to listen to Hsien Loong’s rally speech, like non events,
expecting nothing worth spending time on.
Maybe I am getting old, tired, losing interest of what is going on. Maybe becoming apathetic, blasé, nothing matters anymore. I glanced through some comments in the social media that said the speech was banal, missing all the important issues troubling the people. I glanced through the main media only to find that the main issues raised by Hsien Loong were about pre school, diabetes and smart cities. Not that these are unimportant, but definitely not something that I would have written and put much thoughts into them. Ok, I may have written some comments about smart cities and dumb people or smart cities making people stupid, but would not think they are issues that demand much attention when there are many more serious issues that are apparently unsolvable and posing a threat to the good life of Singaporeans.
Maybe these are good reasons why I did not bother to listen to the rally speech. What else is there to interest me to want to waste my little precious time left on? There are so many madnesses in world affairs and domestic issues that would still be stirring inside me, made me feeling unease, to keep me want to question and be concerned about, to want to write about.
Did I miss anything for being tiada apa over the NDP or National Day Rally? Or is there anything important that I have missed?

North Korea’s nuclear capability makes the world safer
Kim Jung Un has succeeded in stopping the world’s number one rogue
country from conducting a nuclear strike against his people. Like it or
not, living with a myth or a delusion, the Americans can go on
pretending that North Korea is not a nuclear power by not recognizing
it, but the days the Americans can bully North Korea, can threaten a pre
emptive nuclear strike is over. The world’s most bellicose country, the
USA, is now prevented from doing the most evil thing they have been
trying to do all these years, the right to strike first using nuclear
weapons. This is American policy of war.
North Korea’s possession of a nuclear strike capability is now an obstacle to the mad and warmongering Americans to conduct nuclear wars. North Korea is now a new member of the forces that would stop the Americans from thinking it can hit anyone it likes with impunity. North Korea, China, Russia, Pakistan and Iran, and the number is growing, are the nation states that would stand up as the ring of armour against the rogue Empire to stop it from its reckless and fetish craving for wars and making wars.
The world is now safer with North Korea joining the ranks of nuclear power against the world’s number one rogue Empire. Naïve Arab countries that were conned into believing that the Americans would leave them in peace should they give up their nuclear weapon programmes are the living dead, living monuments of American aggression and invasion. Look at poor Iraq and Libya, testaments to their innocence and stupidity to believe in the American lies. They are now paying a very heavy price for believing in the American guile of peace.
Kim Jung Un and the North Koreans have stood firm and are now safe as a nation, as a people, from an American invasion. Together with other nuclear capable countries, they would make it increasingly difficult for the mad Americans to think of starting a nuclear war.
Citizens of the world need to thank the North Koreans for making this world a safer and more peaceful place without the fear of the Americans and their nuclear weapons. This is the irony but the unpleasant truth that people of the world have been misled by the Americans not to see and not to believe, but to believe in a world controlled by the mad Americans with their thousands of nuclear weapons waiting to be unleashed to those countries that did not have such weapons. The Americans have always reserved the right to conduct preemptive strikes on any country at their whims and fancy, like Iraq, Libya and Syria. The rogue Empire is all about war, about invading other countries on fabricated lies. Trump is still talking about war with North Korea. In today’s media, it reported that Trump is working on a new war strategy in Afghanistan. Now they cannot do this so freely with more countries standing up to challenge them and with the ability to strike back if they dare to do so except to target weak countries in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America particularly Venezuela and Afghanistan.
This is a difficult truth to the unthinking. They have been misled by the American lies that the USA, the rogue Empire, is about peace when the truth is, they are conducting wars everywhere. Open your eyes and see the truth. Who is at wars, who is trying to start more wars? Stop being daft!
When the Americans say they are coming to help you, to save you, be frighten, be very frighten.

Hard core evidence from the White House that the USA is the world's number One Terrorist Nation
Below are some hard core evidence provided by a '72 years old and a
Vietnam veteran' praising Trump for doing more for America & it's
people in a single year than the last 4 presidents combined. His claims
and credential are in his listing of '23 REAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS by
president Trump that accounts for every penny of the $19 trillion his
presidency & leadership has brought back to America, I defy you to
prove even 1 accomplishment I've listed as a lie, I'm a gold donor
lifetime member of the RNC which means I'm 1 of 48,000 republicans who
receive monthly briefings from the Trump white house listing
accomplishments and outlining goals for the near future ,and long term,
everything I listed came directly from the RNC on behalf of our
president. Source Michael Ledford 29 Aug 17.
Below are the evidence from three of the listings by this Vietnam war veteran.
#19 Eleminating Obama's illegal funding of over $60 billion a year in federal funds being given to anti US groups like Antifa & dozens of others.
#20 Eleminating the $653 BILLION dollars a year Obama spent dropping bombs & drone strikes that killed over 2 million civilians in 7 country's.
#21 Stopping the $500 million a year in Obama arms shipments to Isis and Al Queda groups in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Adding the above 3 facts, it is costing the Americans trillions to support terrorist organisations and terrorism and wars across the world. The is the evil Empire that have been conducting wars daily and boasting about peace.
How's that for a little hard truth? Too difficult and painful to swallow after being fooled and made to walk around like American stooges for a life time and defending the American 'goodness'?
The truth hurts.
