The Americans have been setting the agenda for the whole world and dragging every country by the ears, coercing them to do the biddings of the Americans and to serve the interests of the American Empire. Some countries willingly and happily chose to be the lapdogs of the Americans, with pride, not feeling any shame, that they are part of the evil American Empire. Many countries were forced to do the bidding out of no choice, unable to fight back against this big bully.
The big Asian countries that were victims of the American Empire include some Asean countries with the Americans poking their fingers into their domestic affairs. The recent letter from Najib's office to the CIA begging and pleading for American support is a good point to look at. Many Asean countries have taken for granted and grudgingly allowed the Americans to push them around, putting sanctions on them, putting up road blocks and barriers to prevent them from participating fully in international affairs and trade.
China and Russia have been the victims of the American Empire since WW2 and continuously being attacked and bullied by the Americans even today. The Chinese Embassy was hit by 5 Tomahawk cruise missiles out of the blue by the evil Americans, killing 3 embassy staff and wounded at least 20 others. The Americans also threatened China with their aircraft carriers during a crisis with Taiwan in 1996. China was much weaker then and could not do much but swallowed their pride. But China was determined that this bully would not happen again. But the bully is still threatening and provoking China in the South China Sea with their white lies about freedom of navigation.
Russia has been bullied by the Americans in eastern Europe and the Middle East and is now left only with Syria and Iran as its allies. The countries in eastern Europe have been absorbed into Nato or pro Nato and increasingly become more hostile to the Russians.
The two Asian states that suffered the most from the American Empire are North Korea and Iran. The Americans have imposed sanctions on them for decades and laughing at them for being backward in their economies and poor in the case of North Korea. Both are under constant threat of an invasion with the Americans demonising them as belligerent and aggressive and would run amok to invade other Asian countries. The American lackeys knew that this is false, fake news, but quietly went along with their American masters. But many would want to trade with Iran and North Korea. In fact Japan, India and many Nato countries are buying cheap Iranian oils and are angry that the Americans are forcing a ban on this.
The Americans made Iran and North Korea their enemies. Asia and Asean need not be the enemies of Iran and North Korea. Why made them enemies when they have not done anything to harm Asian or Asean countries? Just because the Americans said so? How silly!
The fact is that none of these countries, Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, has invaded or colonised any Asian or Asean countries. The opposite is true. Asian and Asean countries were victims of the European and American invasion and colonisation. How stupid have the Asian and Asean countries been made to believe in the American and European lies that these 4 countries are dying to invade and colonise them.
The American agenda and lies and initiatives must be stopped. Asean and Asian countries must set the agenda for Asia and for the interests of Asian and Asean countries. Just a few decades ago, China was in the same position as North Korea and Iran, painted as a threat to Asia and Asean. Things changed when Lee Kuan Yew and Kissinger engineered the engaging China strategy, to bring China into the international community, removed Cold War rhetoric, trade sanctions and barriers.
The result is a new China that is prosperous and peaceful and now providing assistance to rebuild Asean, Asia, Africa and the whole world. What happened to the western and American lie that China is an aggressive and belligerent nation and not a country of peace? Which country is constantly at war, threatening wars, inciting and provoking wars and imposing sanctions or other peaceful countries like North Korea and Iran?
North Korea and Iran have no intent nor the ability to invade and colonise any country in Asia, not Asean countries. It is time that Asian and Asean countries remove the blinkers forced upon them by the American Empire and look at Iran and North Korea in clear eyes. Asian and Asean countries must take the initiative to engage Iran and North Korea and bring them into the community of nations of Asia and Asean.
Asian and Asean countries must not be forced to live with the American lie and agenda. The initiative on how Asian and Asean countries conduct their relations, trade etc with each other must be decided by Asian and Asean countries, not to be dictated and forced upon by the evil Americans.
A peaceful and prosperous Iran and North Korea in Asia will be good for everyone in Asia and Asean. Asian and Asean countries must come together and tell the Americans to go fly their kite somewhere else. Asian and Asean countries must welcome Iran and North Korea into their community of nations for peace, prosperity and progress of Asia and Asean.
This initiative would definitely offend the Americans. The Asian and Asean countries must stand up for their own rights and interests and well beings. If not, they could easily be singled out one at a time by the evil Empire to be bullied and be treated as outcast and branded as a member of the Axis of Evil. Malaysia and Indonesia are potential targets given their domestic politics. Myanmar has suffered for many decades under American pressure and is still suffering today. Vietnam too was a victim of the American Empire with its country bombed nearly to Stone Age, with many parts of the land still affected by Agent Orange and other agents of chemical warfare conducted by the evil Empire.
Asean will be meeting up with other Asian countries and it is timely to push for an Asian Asean Initiative to unite Asia and Asean countries, including Iran and North Korea for peace and progress of Asia. The destiny of Asia and Asean must be decided by Asian and Asean countries, not to live by the American agenda and bullying.Iran and North Korea are NOT our enemies and do not have to be.

The USA’s 21st Century joke – Do little, spend little, achieve big results
The US$350b BRI project by China has stumped the Americans and the rest
of the world for its massive infrastructure development, and in monetary
terms even bigger than the American Marshall Plan after the end of WW2.
Where did China find the money to finance such a mammoth international
cross continent project?
After the launching of the BRI, according to Dr Bharath Gopalaswamy, director of the South Asia Centre of the Atlantic Council, “…the rest of the world was watching for America to articulate a vision and come up with a big idea, and Secretary Pompeo outlined what a big idea could look like.”
And this is America’s joke of the 21st Century. To counter or compete with China’s BRI, in a Straits Times report by Nirmal Ghosh, “The United States on Monday sent a strong signal of more robust economic engagement in the Indo Pacific, fleshing out a previously announced strategy for a region described by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as stretching from India’s west coast to America’s west coast – with Asean ‘literally in the middle’.”
What is this grand strategy and how many billions would it cost to rival the Chinese BRI? “The US pledged US$113 million (S$154 million) to support initiatives in the digital economy, energy and infrastructure in the Indo Pacific region, describing these as ‘foundational areas of the future’.”
What? S$154m! This is barely enough to buy Lim Kim San’s bungalow going for sale at S$100m! How is this going to compete with China’s US$350b BRI? Not to worry, leave it to the word’s craftsmen to tell you that this is really big and really a rival to China’s BRI. Before I list out the supporters of this grand American 21st Century initiative, let me ask the same question that was posed on the Trump Kim Summit in Singapore. Where is the meat, where are the details of this grand scheme of things? Or it is just words and pipe dream? KNN, what can $154m do?
According to an admirer of this grand American scheme, a Dr Aparna Pande, director at the Hudson Institute, it is about a targeted approach. “The US knows that it does not have the money to compete dollar for dollar with China,…What Pompeo has offered is that through a variety of measures…the US will provide targeted assistance to countries in the region and hope that those countries will then use that aid to build their capacities.” Huh, what’s that? See how clever is the use of words here to make a mountain out of a mole hill? And you know who are the admirers of the Americans and are in cahoot with them.
Another great words craftsman, a Nisha Biswal, president of the US India Business Council, said the US move was “a hopeful sign of a sustained strategy for engaging the region.” With S$154m to sustain a regional strategy? The amount is barely enough to buy a landed home in Singapore!
Another great words craftsman and supporter of this American joke, Singapore’s Ambassador Ashok Mirpuri said, “This was what was needed to complement the (US) security strategy.” He added, according to ST’s Nirmal Ghosh, “the US plans fit in with much of what the region, specifically Asean, was trying to do, including connectivity, energy infrastructure and smart cities. Anyone see how could this fit in?
This is the wonder of words craftsmen, on how a mere S$154m could do so much, could achieve so much, to be praised sky high, to rival China’s US$350b BRI projects. And of course Pompous, oops, Pompeo concurred, “This is a big one.” Yes, I concur, a big big joke.
If words or speeches can win a war, these words craftsmen would win every war they fought without weapons but words. See the joke and who are the die hard supporters of the jokers?
The Americans have no money and wanted to do a lot with a few penny?

Singapore’s new social classes – Natural artistocrats versus 3rd,4th and 5th raters
Singaporeans have heard of the birth of a new social economic class of
Singaporeans called the natural aristocrats. Knowing the background and
ancestry of Singaporeans, mostly from peasant stock in southern China
provinces and poor corners or India, and mostly coming here to eke a
living as coolies, it has been commented by some eminent leaders that
Chineses Singaporeans comes from poorer IQ stocks. Not so sure about
those from the sub continent. The so called natural aristocrats are
unlike the purple blood Europeans descended from royalties, also mostly
descendants of peasants and coolies.
This fact does not make them feel as lesser beans as they have elevated themselves to be aristocrats, like the Europeans. Not only that, their esteemed social status has recently been given a boost and confirmation by a local academic Derek da Cunha. Cunha used the occasion of ex PAP MP Tan Cheng Bock’s appearance in a meeting with opposition leaders to press his point that the people Tan Cheng Bock were meeting were lesser beans, of 3rd, 4th or 5th rates, and Tan Cheng Bock would tarnish his reputation for being in the company of these lower rate people in our society. This is the real and unspoken secret of the natural aristocrats.
So, is this Cunha saying that Tan Cheng Bock should associate himself with the likes of Cunha, presumingly he is a 1st or 2nd rate human bean, like the natural aristocrats and politicians from the ruling parties and protect his reputation as the sikit atas people? Now, extrapolating from this premise of Cunha, the rest of the population must also be 3rd, 4th and 5th rate human beans or even lower. And associating with these low rate human beans should be avoided so as not to lower once reputation or dignity. Show show, pretending to be with them once in a while for photo shoot may be alright, but not real.
Daft Singaporeans should seriously take recognition of this social divide between the 1st and 2nd rate beans and the rest of the lower rate beans that should be kept away with a 10 foot pole. This is the unspoken truth in the Singapore society that most Singaporeans would not get to know until this 1st or 2nd rate Cunha uttered it by accident to reveal their contempt for the lower rate Singaporeans.
Of course Tan Cheng Bock disagreed. He openly said that the men and women he met and associated with from the opposition parties and their supporters were good men and women, not low raters as described by the self confessed 1st or 2nd rate Cunha. A word of caution for the low rate human beans, please keep clear of people that are of 1st and 2nd rate or you can be accused of tarnishing their reputation. And if they come to you, it is only a pretense, for they held you in contempt. They would not want to be associated with low rate people, not want to be seen to be with them.
Get the point? Yes I am talking to the low raters, the no class or low class no dignity human beans of this little red dot. Next time if you see the 1st or 2nd raters like Cunha, please siam and stay away from them.

Najib’s letter to CIA – A letter of fear and obeyance
“I hope Your Excellency’s esteemed service would be able to report to
the Secretary of State on the complexity of managing this election by
Prime Minister Najib and the need to have US support for the present
govt even if we are to win the election by a simple majority or just one
seat.
Any indication that the US govt would continue to support Prime Minister Najib and his govt would definitely strengthen our stability and enhance the existing cordial relationship driven by the strong rapport between our two leaders,” read the letter signed by Mr Hasanah Ab Hamid, director general of the Research Division in the Prime Minister’s Department, an intelligence unit.
The above letter is reported in thenewpaper on 27 Jul 18.
There are many questions and implications on why a Prime Minister of a country would write a letter to the CIA, the intelligence agency of another country ie the USA, pleading for support for his govt. Why would Najib be so afraid of the Americans and begging and pleading for their support and approval? He must know something that we don’t know, that the Americans are meddling and controlling the fate of his country and his fate as the Prime Minister of Malaysia. The letter is like saying, the Americans are in charge of Malaysia and dictates who should be the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Without the approval and support of the Americans, Najib cannot be the Prime Minister for long.
Is this interference, influencing or manipulating the policies of a country like what Bilahari Kausikan was saying about China? Is this more serious than what he accused China of doing? This is not just trying to manipulate or influence the policies of an independent country. The Americans are interfering and deciding who should be the Prime Minister of Malaysia. And Najib knew and must seek the approval of the Americans. You can sense his fear of the Americans and volunteering to obey the master.
Najib does not have to fear China or else he would have written a similar letter to China to support his regime. China, like all countries, would want to be friends with Malaysia and would do things to influence Malaysia’s policies to be friendly with China, BUT not to interfere with the domestic politics of the country. Najib has no fear of China. He knows.
Now which is the more dangerous country to deal with, the USA or China? Why was Kausikan so appeasing to the Americans without breathing a word on their nasty interference of other country’s domestic affairs like regime change? Why would he single out China for doing things that all countries are doing and not pointing out the serious interference of the Americans in the internal affairs of a country? Why, why, why?
Would Bilahari Kausikan write something to warn the Singaporeans about how nasty and dangerous the Americans are in their interference of a country’s domestic politics, even doing regime change to change a leader elected by the people? No? Why not?
PS. Najib wrote this letter despite being investigated and charged by the American courts for corruption.

Singapore National Games -Athletics
Other than the oldies, many primary school kids were also participating in the National Games and subjected to the same gruelling heat. I have written to the organisers to hold the games in the evening at least for the kids and the oldies. Imagine the runners were in their 60s, 70s and 80s, and children as young as 8 or 9 years old. This is inexcusable if some of the very young or very old runners suffered from heat strokes.
