When lawlessness is fun

The big demonstrations in Hong Kong were amazing. For whatever reasons, the Hongkongers think they were strong enough to put pressure on Beijing by their show of force, that they were a different people, different from Chinese in China and deserved to be treated differently, have their own laws and their own country, an independent Hong Kong. The Hongkongers think Beijing would have to respect their rights and feelings and cut off Hong Kong from the mother land to be an independent country and not to bother that Hong Kong could be a cancer growing under the instigation and control of hostile forces to destabilize China.
The demonstrators, mostly young people, must be basking in their days of power, rioting, anarchy, that they were in control of their destiny, in control of Hong Kong, that the Hong Kong govt is hapless and could not do anything to them. China also could not do anything to them as the foreigners would be there to tear down China for taking actions against their lawlessness in breaking and tearing down Parliament House.
 
It was a great feeling, to be above the law, to break the law with impunity. It was power in the hands of the young mobsters. They even took liberty at the police, attacked them for wanting to maintain law and order. The young mobsters are the law, untouchable. They could decide what they want to do with Hong Kong, beat up anyone, tear down any building they want. They think they are the new masters of Hong Kong.
 
Then came 22 Jul, at the Yuen Long Train Station, another group of young mobsters appeared to challenge the young mobsters that had ran riot all over Hong Kong for the last few weeks. The new mobsters in white Ts took on the original mobsters in black Ts and beat them up. Many of the boys and girls were screaming and crying in fear and in pain, something alien to them. In the past weeks they were cheering and jeering, taunting and cursing at the govt and police and throwing stones at them in jubilant cries of power and triumph. They were the brave ones, the ones that were beating other people, throwing bottles and all kinds of things at their victims, including the police.
 
On 22 Jul, the table turned. They became the crying victims, squeezing into little corners in the train cabin to avoid being beaten. Some went on their knees crying and begging for the beating to stop. Some went accusing the police for not coming to their aid. The police were their victims, beaten by them, and they were demanding that the police must come and protect them from the white mobsters. Do they need the police, do they respect the police, do they know that they were the ones attacking the police just a few days earlier?
Lawlessness greeted with lawlessness. The hunters became the hunted. The thugs got beaten by the thugs. The brave front of invincibility and lawless became meek victims crying for help.
 
What happened? Where have the arrogance of lawlessness and brashness gone? Where have all the bravadoes and defiance gone? They went berserk over a few days of lawlessness until their roof came crashing down. It was unreal.
 
This is only the beginning. The lesson of growing up is just beginning. The time for naivety is over. Stop behaving like spoilt brats in the world of adults. Get real. Kids are kids and should not be playing with fire. The future of a nation of 1.35b people cannot be thrashed by a few young punks who think they own Hong Kong and want to decide the fate of Hong Kong and China. Hong Kong is China and would not be parted.

British rogues still think they are colonial masters

LONDON: British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said London would respond in a considered but robust way to the seizure of a British tanker by Iranian guards, and warned that Tehran would be the biggest loser if freedom of navigation is restricted....

"This is completely unacceptable," Hunt said. "We will respond in a way that is considered but robust.

"We are not looking at military options, we are looking at a diplomatic way to resolve the situation but we are very clear that it must be resolved.

"If freedom of navigation is restricted Iran is the biggest loser, it is in their interests to resolve this situation as quickly as possible."

This rogue Brits still talked and acted like they owned the high seas in the 19th Century. They still behaved like pirates, hijacked an Iranian super tanker off Gibraltar as a right of white colonialists and imperialists. Now that the Iranians retaliated by arresting British tankers the Brits are ranting that it is not acceptable. So they want to attack the Iranians in collusion with the world's number gangster, the Americans. On its own, the Brits are no match for the Iranians. They rappelled their soldiers to seize the Iranian tankers, the Iranians did the same to seize the Brit's tankers. Want to try some more, send more warships to the Persian Gulf?

The Brits are still dreaming that they are still unchallenged super colonial power of the past. Little did they realised that militarily the Iranians are more powerful than the spent Royal Navy of today and would lick them anytime. God save the Queen if they dare to take on the Iranians today in the Persian Gulf. And their tankers in the Persian Gulf are floating ducks to be taken one by one by the Iranians if they wanted to

The Iranians even shot down an American drone and drove the Americans into desperation to shoot down their own drone believing and then pretending that it was an Iranian drone. With the backing of Russia and China, the Iranians would not be pushovers and would inflict severe damage and casualties to the rogue coalition banded together by the Evil Empire. The world can expect to see the sinking of an American aircraft carrier should war started in the region. The Americans and the West think they could hit others and others could not hit back. Iran would hit back with all they got, including hitting the most dangerous regional gangster Israel if needed to.

The Iranians are armed to the teeth, unlike Iraq, Libya or Syria. The fortunes of the world have changed sides. The West is in a steep decline and this could be the mother of all battles to mark the end of western dominance and supremacy in the world.

The opposition in the UK govt is warning the UK not to be dragged into another war by the Americans. Bolton and his gangsters are going everywhere to drag other countries to be the frontline gangsters to fight Iran on behalf of the Americans. Would any silly Asean countries become the dogs of the Americans and
stupidly become the enemies of the Iranians and become gun fodders?

Warning, the Americans and Europeans are very trigger happy to start wars and attack their victims on the understanding that their victims cannot hit back. Iran will hit back, North Korea will hit back, Russia will hit back, China too will hit back. Any silly country thinking of being partners to this crime against the Iranian people by joining the international gangsters must be prepared to have their men attacked and killed by the Iranians. The Americans and Brits know about this and are hesitating and would like other dull and stupid countries to be the scapegoat in their aggression against Iran.

Let's pray that when the aggressive international gangsters attacked Iran their aircraft carriers and warships would be sunk by Iranian missiles. These warships are within the range of DF26.

Wayang is a disease of people with no ideas

There is so much feedback and truth on the internet, why not tap on these and move the country forward? why make feedback fake? proper channels? yes but the info has always been tweaked. this show one thing, in this new economy, the top will not last long. thankfully i hope. may the next better player take over.
There is one thing i learnt during my 2 years serving the nation, it is this word called wayang. a good balance is good but too much wayang is bad for the country.

A concerned citizen


The above is part of a post in TRE under the title 'Singapore is spiralling downwards'. Just a week earlier there was this big wayang conducted by MAS inviting remisiers and people in the industry to share their thoughts on why the stock market is dying. I was not there and did not know what was actually spoken. Did they admit that the stock market is dying or just going through another wayang to show that they are doing something, to want to save the stock market? The fact that such a meeting was called is an admission that something was badly wrong despite the regular rhetoric that the stock market is doing fine, doing so well, that derivatives trading volume has been trending up.

The calling for such a meeting said two things, one, confirming that Singapore is spiralling down, and two, yes, another big wayang. why?

The fate of a stock market is a result of many decisions by the authority and would not be resolved or saved by the views of a few laypeople that attended such a meeting with their impromptu opinions, mostly not well thought through, and mainly gut feels. How could such meeting on such a serious topic be of value to save a dying stock market.

Ok, some may think I am being presumptious, that I am wrong, the stock market is soooo healthy, the best in Asia. The fact is, the number of remisiers in the industry has dropped to half, and many still around are about to fade into oblivion. Many are earning less than a cleaner in the foodcourt or hawker centre, or even an office cleaner. Many are evening receiving subsidies for their low income.

And the insane thing about this sorry state of affair is that anyone stupid enough to want to join the industry must sit and pass a series of examinations and pay hefty fees for lessons and license to earn a few hundred dollars a month. Can you believe that? A cleaner or a security guard could earn more without the next to sit for stringent examinations!

Ok, what is the beef? The problems of a sick and dying stock market are serious problems that no ordinary laymen could resolve. And if people noted as super talents earning super talent pay cannot solve the problem, did not know what is happening, how could they expect the laymen, the low down no brain laymen to tell them what to do, to come up with solutions?

This is a fundamental flaw in the thinking and approach. The highly paid professionals and management that are supposed to make the market better have failed so badly that they are looking at straws to save the day.

Come on, let's face it, if the experts and super talents are lost and clueless, no one on the street can be of any help. And when the experts and super talents are running out of ideas, the way to go is down, spiralling down. No amount of wayang is going to help.

Seriously, what really came out of that meeting? Anything useful? Did they go back and study what was discussed or it was just a show, everything forgotten the moment they stepped out of the meeting?

Do they know what is wrong with the industry? Do they want to know what is wrong with the industry? Do they have the will and guts to want to right the wrongs in the industry and save the industry? Is there anyone having sleepless nights thinking about these problems or are they just crossing their fingers and hoping that it would last a few more days before game over?

Maybe there is really no problem and nothing needs to be done. The industry is just like that, nothing can be done, like fourth stage cancer.

Foreigners influencing the thinking of Singapore govt

SINGAPORE: The Chinese Embassy in Singapore on Friday (Jul 19) refuted a report alleging that Beijing has been conducting influence operations in Singapore, calling it “absurd”.

The Jul 16 report, published by US research institute the Jamestown Foundation, said that “the fundamental purpose of Chinese propaganda and influence operations in Singapore is to impose a Chinese identity on Singapore”.

The report, titled A Preliminary Survey of CCP Influence Operations in Singapore, also claimed that China uses cultural organisations, clan associations, business associations, youth programmes and the Chinese-language media to reach out to different segments of Singaporeans.

It said that business associations act as the “most powerful lobby for Chinese interests” in Singapore, and that they have lobbied the Singapore Government on behalf of “pro-PRC positions”.

Singapore media, including the Straits Times, had reported on the analysis by the report's author Mr Russell Hsiao, who is the executive director of the Global Taiwan Institute....

Mr Hsiao wrote...
“Singapore’s government views identity as an existential issue, and is likely to resist CCP efforts to make inroads in this area.”

The above article is a clear case of foreigners, ie Americans and Taiwanese, attempting to influence the thinking of Singapore govt and sowing discord between Singapore and China. The question is whether such loaded one sided article would actually affect the thinking of the Singapore govt. My view is that if the leaders of Singapore is kosong in their heads, then such articles would have great influence on them, especially the banana thinking type and the WOGs. For these type of people, they believe their ancestry came from the West and are ashamed of being Asians/Chinese and would love to distance themselves from China and be seen as closed to China or even being Chinese.

And there are many instances and evidences to confirm that this is the case. The fear of being like China could be seen in their pro American and anti China rhetoric on international issues, particularly the South China Sea claims and the need to invite the rogue Americans to balance the influence of China in the region. And there is this eagerness to strengthen relations with India with the signing of CECA and increasing the presence of Indians in the island and offering many top appointments to Indians from India, in the commercial sector, in govt linked companies and in the academia.

Maybe the banana thinking politicians feel pressurised by the West and see the need to be more westernised, even Indianised, to be acceptable to the West. As a result, Singapore is becoming more westernised and Indianised to the extent that the majority and dominance of the Chinese is being questioned and challenged by the new citizens.

The govt's promotion of speak Mandarin and clan activities are a natural cultural thing but now increasingly seen as negative especially in the above reports. Chinese should not promote their own culture and be more Chinese. Even Mandarin, one of four official languages was frown upon and attacked by a minority in facebook, ridiculed. Speaking Mandarin is unacceptable, intolerable. The person making such a stand was not reprimanded for attacking an official language, as far as I know.

So, how far would the above article influence the thinking and policies of Singapore govt to become more anti China and anti Chinese? The fact that it received so much attention to be in print in the main media said it all. Would Singapore lose its Chineseness, the main driving force that built this island to what it is today and become more like another third world city run by third world inhabitants? Donald Trump said to the immigrants, "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places" before coming here to tell us what to do. All the major cities in Asia and SE Asia are built by Chinese stock entrepreneurs. Removing the Chinese stock or reducing their influence would have grave negative impact on the economy and infrastructure development of these cities.

The Chinese identity of Singapore is a plus factor. Do the bananas want to do away with it to embrace third world identity and spiral down to the abyss of the third world?  Would the writer, Russell Hsiao think the Chinese identity in Taiwan is bad and should be replaced by third world identity?

What is the intent of publishing such article in the main media? Agree with the writer Russell Hsiao or disagree?

Singaporeans should not complain

These are the things that Singaporeans should not complain about...

1. CPF is not your money and you cannot use or touch your CPF when you needed the money or are above 55 years. Singaporeans deserve this.

2. When you have problems finding a job but foreigners can easisly get a job here, even on short vacation while you sent out hundreds of application letters but still jobless, not even called up for interview, you, Singaporeans deserve it.

3. Foreigners are not here stealing your job, your lunch but also your personal data. With the banks and even ministries hiring foreigners to manage their IT system, your data are exposed to foreigners and at their mercy.

3. You should not complain about the high salaries of the ministers.

4. You should not complain about all the hikes in fees and prices.

5. You should not complain about the $130m spent annually on foreigners to get an education here, taking the places that should be given to your children while you have to sell your HDB flats or private properties to send your children overseas to get an education.

6. If you are victims of crimes committed by foreigners, don't complain.

7. If you lose your jobs at age 40/50/60 to fake qualification foreigners.

8. If your children are being taught by fake qualification foreigners. 

9. If you have wildlife coming here to shit on you with their narrow minded world view and imposing them on you...even teaching your children with their shit values....

Why, because you voted for it, you asked for it. Singaporeans must vote wisely, vote for political parties and politicians that are working for your interest, not against your interest or for the interest of foreigners like signing unequal treaties like the CECA. Yes, many have said here in this blog and in many blogs, Singaporeans deserve the govt they chose and should not complain when they became the victims of govt policies.
