Singapore's deadly drug addiction and dependency

Drugs are drugs, and drugs are addictive. That is why they are called drugs and with a negative and bad connotation, and can be very deadly. But drugs are the cravings of many people, the unthinking, the shallow thinkers, as they could provide instant gratifications, easy means to get the highs so needed.

Singapore is addicted to a few deadly drugs that are now beginning to wear off and the pain and suffering are getting more and more apparent. And to maintain the same level of highs, the dosage must not only be maintained but increased to get the same effect. How long can this go on before Singapore suffers from overdosage or be killed by over consumption or suffer the same fate like all drug addicts, from deprivation?

The first drug that is wearing off and showing withdrawal symptoms is HHDBP, aka High HDB Price. The problems of keeping HDB price at stratospheric prices are beginning to show. It is not only difficult but impossible. And the price is going to tumble faster and faster with each year pricing. The HHDBP drug is going to kill a big majority of Singaporeans as more than 80 per cent of Singaporeans are consuming this drug. There is no escape.

The next deadly drug is CPFNYM/CPFNE aka CPF Not Your Money or CPF Not Enough. Many Singaporeans, practically every adult Singaporean is affected by this drug. Their dependency on this drug is for life. Any time when this drug runs low, they will be in deep financial trouble. The withdrawal symptoms can be deadly or lead to premature death. The older Singaporeans get, the more dependent they would be on this drug. Unfortunately many just would not have enough of this.

The third drug is HPP aka high property prices. Singaporeans whether living in private property or HDB estates cannot afford to have falling property prices. Lower property prices or lower HPP would make life unbearable. Singaporeans must be kept on a constant high with HPP or else it would lead to untold misery.

Another drug that Singaporeans are fed with, just like when they went to a party and everyone said must try and must have is LMI aka life and medical insurance. Like in a party, Singaporeans are forced to partake LMI or else, like it or not, everyone is on it, so no choice must also take. Got money, no money, still must pay for it. This drug is hard on the pockets of Singaporeans, an irresistible drugs, a must have drug that like drug addicts, must find the money to pay for it.

Another deadly that have long term consequences and once taken would be hooked for life, is FWL. This one has a very high dependency and addiction potency. The more one takes, the more is needed. Oh, this one does not affect the people directly but companies and the govt. In case you still did not get it, it is called Foreign Workers Levy. The companies needed this supposedly to keep their cost low. The govt is highly dependent and addicted to this as a cheap source of income to boost the GDP and the govt coffers. Cutting this drug is unacceptable. This drug is for life to the govt. Can't imagine how the govt is going to survive without this drug, or cheap source of income.

The consequences of this FWL need not elaborate. The constant presence of wild life in Singapore and turning Singapore into a third world city with more social problems and crimes are part and parcel of FWL. Singaporeans would have to live with more wild life in their midst, in HDB estates particularly.  It is not only social and economic problems but also security and safety problems.

The govt's heavy addiction to this drug is clearly shown by their die die must have 10m population and when this is reached, they would say 20m is better. They would not tell you how bad life would be with 10m or 20m population. They are just telling half truths, about how good, and keeping quiet about the bad parts, the other side of the same coin.

These are just some of the major drugs that are inflicting a lot of pain and damages to the well being and health of Singaporean and would only get worse as the addiction gets worse.

Boy PM and his rule of law

The office of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose image has taken a hit in recent weeks over a growing corruption scandal, denied Saturday that he acted in a hostile way toward a female lawmaker in his party....

It was yet more bad press undermining Trudeau's credentials as a progressive leader following the resignations of his attorney general and budget minister, both women, one indigenous.
Caesar-Chavannes said Trudeau asked her to delay announcing her decision after Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Raybould had just stepped down, plunging the government into crisis over suspected interference in a legal process.
That was followed by the resignation of Budget Minister Jane Philpott.
The prime minister, who touts his credentials as a feminist and defender of indigenous rights, would like to avoid the political image of someone who presided over the departure of two (minority) women of color, added Caesar-Chavannes.
Wilson-Raybould, who has indigenous heritage, said after she resigned that she had faced undue pressure from Trudeau and his aides seeking that she try to avoid a trial of engineering giant SNC-Lavalin....

On Saturday, Trudeau acknowledged mistakes had been made but denied any laws were broken.
"There was a disagreement about the best way to move forward and there were certainly an erosion of trust in my office that I absolutely need to learn from and deal from and do better in the future and that I take very, very seriously," he said.

The above is from Yahoo News.

This boy PM, after parroting rule of law for the last few months when caught in the American conspiracy in arresting Meng Wanzhou, is now caught with his pants down, in interfering the judicial system on a case against the indigenous Canadians. And he still claimed that he was doing everything right and proper, like the Meng Wanzhou case when his ministers resigned because of his interference. All he did was to admit a loss of trust in his office, not in himself.

The boy PM is basically an inept, a former school teacher, rose to political office under the shadow of his father. This is perhaps his only ability and now he is fumbling over and over again, daily and becoming a joke himself. After what Trump did and said so far on the Huawei case, he still stubbornly sticks to his rule of law and doing nothing wrong antics. 

He will look totally lost when Trump and Xi sign a deal with the release of Meng Wanzhou as a precondition. By then not stepping down is no longer an option for this boy PM that surrounded himself with nincompoops.

How stupid can the Canadians get?

Trade with Canada is slowing to a standstill. Canola farmers are hit most with China refusing to buy canola and a whole range of Canadian produce, including meat. Things are getting unbearable with the farming community cursing at the boy PM and girly FM combination still sticking to their stupid ‘rule of lawlessness’ but claiming to be their rule of law. They knew, every Canadian knew, that the arrest of Meng Wanzhou is a political farce started in Washington and the little boy PM and girly FM were so eager to please the Americans to go and arrest Meng Wanzhou on transit at a Canadian airport.
 

The pressure for the Canadian govt to do something to reset relations with China is at its peak but the boy and girly combination is out of their wits. China has completely shut down communication with the Canadian govt, not picking up the phones, withdrawing their ambassador from Canada. Two Canadians are in jail for spying and one about to be hung for drug offense.
 

What do you think the Canadians are thinking of doing to mend fences with China? Talk to Xi, waylaid Xi at the G20 Summit in Japan, send ex PMs or diplomats that had good relations with China to China to bring back the jailed Canadians and resume trade. China has just said no to a Canadian request for Xi to meet Trudeau. No deal mate. None of them wants to think that the elephant in the room should be removed first. They still stick to their fantasy of rule of law, they could not bend their principle on the rule of law and release Meng Wanzhou on the behest of the Americans as a trade bargaining chip. And they really think that China is suffering from not buying canola oil or pork from Canada because some agency is spreading swine fever in East Asia and China needs pork badly!
 

When would these silly Canadians grow up and know that Canada is irrelevant in China’s scheme of things. Canada can disappear from the world map, from China’s world and China would get on fine with what it is doing without missing a beat. They still think China needs Canada and cannot live without Canada and it is OK to retain Meng Wanzhou and relations with China can return to normal.
 

They are still dreaming that Canada is big power, and China is a weak and hapless nation, that could be pushed around and kicked around by the white people, by a small insignificant country like Canada. Maybe Canada thinks it can punch above its weight and can knock at China as and when it likes.
 

Grow up boys and girls. You screw it up with your stupidity. As long as Meng Wanzhou is not returned home to China, Canada can forget about China. Keep on living in your little fantasy that you can push China around, that you have done no wrong, that arresting Meng Wanzhou is a normal and rightful thing under your fictitious rule of law that is more a rule of lawlessness.
 

Keep dreaming and fantasizing that China will come begging to buy your oil or farm produce. As long as Meng Wanzhou is in Canada, forget about talking to China. Period.
 

Come to Singapore for a piece of good advice from our very wise FM Vivian on how to get back on the good books of China. Vivian had been there and done it.

China must stand up to US hegemonism

          US imperialism must be checked for once. In just 242 years of its existence since its independence from its forebears England in 1775, the Evil Empire has done more harm and cause more deaths than any other western imperialists. Under its odious doctrine of American Manifest Destiny to grab all the lands from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean at the expense of the native Americans it started with the conquest of the whole of North America except British Canada, after the killings, massacres and genocide of the native Americans. Having grabbed all the lands from the natives its greed for more conquests has not been saturated. It created excuses and incidents to start wars with Mexico resulting with its occupation of the Mexican provinces of Florida, Texas, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and California. Having conquered all the lands in mainland America it went across the seas to attack and conquer Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Philippines in 1895 to 1898 AD.

US political and territorial ambition knows no bounds. Since the end of the Second World War in 1945, it has wanted to subjugate the whole earthly world under its total control and hegemony. US wants to form a New World Order where every country must come under US jurisdiction, total control and hegemony. To achieve its goal it has been using its deceptive warped democracy and human rights to psycho and deceive other countries to accept its New World Order. But no countries except some caucasian countries will fall for this insidious trap knowing that they are white supremacists imperialists who have no qualms in killing and decimating whole populations of native Americans and now killing millions of Arabs in Middle East as well as millions of others in many other countries.

Only two countries, Russia and China are able to check this evil global ambition of a New World Order under the United States total control and hegemonism. Since Russia and China are the stumbling blocks to its villainous global ambition they have pin pointed the two countries as its lethal enemies to be destroyed. To achieve that vile objective it has been perpetually demonizing Russia and China and churning out endless fake vitriol propaganda worldwide to try to get other countries to join its camp against China and Russia.To that extent it has not been able to achieve much as people and countries around the world know the evil intent of the American imperialists.

US is now trying all ways and means to take down China. But it will be their bad dream for China will be its nemesis. China will never give in to American bully and will put up a fight. US trade wars against China is not about trade but it is using it as a front and an excuse to contain China's progress and development in all aspects of  economy, science and technology inclusive of 5G and The Internet of All Things.

In an article , "China's Future Rests In Its People's Resolve", Mr Hu Xijin the Editor-In-Chief of Global Times deliberate on the consequence if China submits to US bully and hooligan tactics in the US-China trade negotiations.His advice to fight  US to the end and not to submit to US toxic unreasonable demands reflects the the wish and determination of all Chinese people in China and the world to unite firmly behind the Chinese government.

The United States, a rogue country run by crooks and scoundrels and charlatans frown on China's peaceful rise and development. China is developing so fast and US can't bear it and views China's rise with jaundiced eyes.

Hu Xijin pointed out that China's economy in 1978 was about the same size as India. However in 2018, that is 40 years later China's GDP is five times that of India. He said, "If China continues to develop like this in 20 to 30 years time it will really be the first in the world. America cannot accept it. And so it starts a trade war to contain China." The trade war serves as an excuse and a vehicle to take down China's development and progress in all aspects of the economy, science and technology.

He said the Chinese people are now living a good modern luxurious life equivalent to the best in America and the West. It's fast economic development will soon surpass US to become the world's largest economy.

However, in the trade negotiation, "The core requirement of the US demand on China is that China should stop or slow down her economic development. To the United States the Chinese are not allowed to live a modern luxurious life like the Americans or the westerners."

Hu Xijin said, "We are faced with two difficult choices : Listen to the US, nix the development model and do away with national rejuvenation achievced so far, withdraw from the gradual competition with the US in economy, science and technology  or  thwart US pressure and defend China's right to continue to develop in the way it chooses."

He proposed that "Every Chinese must unite and firmly support the government in not being afraid to face a fight. We have to fight for the right to equally compete with the US. While doing so may be difficult in the near term, today's effort will buy us more space in the long run."

He said, "All Chinese people must see that today's Chinese government is really fighting the US for the interests of the Chinese nation and the right of the Chinese people to continue to improve their lives. There are plenty of demagogues who want to make important concessions, selfishly seeking political opportunities when the country is going through difficulties. They are too easily manipulated by American power, and they are naive, if not malicious."

He further said, "There is no reason for the Chinese government to do anything detrimental to the country and its people in the process of negotiations and stand off with the US. If the Party and the Central Governmment collapse, China will fall apart and the United States will be able to break China up and turn all the local governments in the country into pro-American regimes. This is what Washington wants."

He said, "the government will explain all this clearly to the people . China's ability to unite and persevere will determine the future of China and all the Chinese people."

China must win this fight against the wicked satanic Americans not only for the survival, pride and dignity of  China and the Chinese people but it will also be a victory for the survival, pride and dignity of all non-white countries and people.
