Pesta Sukan 2019 - Glamour at the track

Today is the last day of the Pesta Sukan Athletics event with the 4x400m relays for all age groups plus an inter generation race for children racing together with the young and the seniors in a team. There was also the business houses being represented and I noticed a few groups like SIA Marina Bay Sands, Grab, SIM and also the polytechnics. It was a colourful day with a lot of beautiful people and hunky men. Here are some of the pics that I took of these lovely people. Will put up a separate post on action shots later.

2023 World Indoor Masters Track and Field Championships coming to Singapore?


Singapore Masters Athletics(SMA) is making a bid for Singapore to host the next World Masters Championship in 2023, the tenth in the series. This is a biennial sports event for masters athletes around the world to compete at the highest level. This year, 2019, the championships was held in Torun, Poland, in March. The 9th Championship would be held in Edmonton, Canada in 2021.

This is a major international event that SMA is bidding to host in 2023. The main characteristics of this Championships is that it would be held indoor, in indoor stadium specifically built and designed for it with a 200m wooden running track instead of the normal 400m synthetic track.

Presumably this would be held in our Kallang Indoor Stadium, the stadium where most of the international sports and live performances were held. The National Stadium would be too big for such an event, I supposed, though not completely ruling this out. Whichever, there would be some renovations needed to be done to get the stadium ready for this prestigious event that every masters athletes would love to compete in our home ground. I think it would cost about $20m to install the running tracks for this event. $20m is really peanuts compared to the amount spent on children's Olympic or the hundreds of millions on the F1 event.

This event is akin to a senior Olympic level of athletic competition and Singapore would be proud to be given a chance to host this event here. An indoor stadium would make running and competing in our hellish equatorial heat a thing of the past and the performance and results of the athletes would likely to be the best ever. An indoor stadium, air conditioned, would be heaven on earth for the athletes.

We are looking forward to welcome this event in 2023 and with four years of preparation to make this another statement for Singapore as a great destination in a tropical paradise. With our great location, reputation and great management, our bid should receive favourable consideration by the World Masters Athletics(WMA) body.

Huawei helps you from being spied by the Americans


The accusation that Huawei is spying on its users has come out blank. The Americans have repeatedly failed to produce any evidence that Huawei is spying on its users. Stephen Roach, a professor from Yale University said this, US accusation of Huawei spying is based on innuendo and assumptions but not facts.

The truth is that the US is spying on everyone using Google, Twitter, Facebook, Apple etc. The British are using Huawei’s equipment to build their 5G network. But before that, the British made Huawei signed a document that would allow the British to sue Huawei for damages should Huawei be found spying on them. Huawei signed.

The same document was put to the American network providers, including Google and Apple, but none of them was willing to sign. What does this say of the American companies, yes, there are all spying on their users. The Americans are spying on everyone but accusing Huawei of spying or may be spying in the future but really not spying at all.

Huawei should now come out to tell its users that using Huawei’s equipment is a sure way of helping its users from being spied by the Americans. Yes, using Huawei’s equipment means the Americans cannot spy on you and neither would Huawei spy on you.

Think about it. Huawei’s equipment are the safest equipment from spying if one tears away the American lies. Be safe, use Huawei equipment and mobile phones.

The Americans are the thieves that are shouting thief, thief, thief!!!!

The latest report from Huawei is that despite the American threats and sanctions, Huawei’s revenue is growing at 23%. No one is listening to the American lies about Huawei. Huawei is growing stronger and using their own chips and operating systems that are more superior that before…and free from American spying.

Why are the Americans so worried about spyware in Huawei’s equipment? Because they built spyware in all their products Made In America. And they presumed Huawei would do the same. But they were so wrong. Not everyone think and do like the American’s evil way.

Military March - Chinese female soldiers

Beautiful soldiers, precision drill.

A little distraction on a Sunday morning. This clip was taken in 2013 if I can remember.
China has come a long long way from the featureless Mao tunics of old to become a modern and rich nation.

I know, the bananas are seething when they see anything China and being rich and powerful and still in disbelief and in doubt that this is real. All fakes, China is a poor country with no money, despite the top four banks and top 5 companies in the world according to Forbes are Chinese. And not only these four banks, China also pumped in hundreds of billions into AIIB and the Brics Bank aka New Development Bank. No money but got billions and billions to pump into these banks, into BRI, in reconstructing and rebuilding a poor Africa looted by the Europeans? Money not real, just imaginary?

Look at the pride of a people on the rise, full of confidence that this is their Century, no humbug, no big talks about going to be. China is already there. China has arrived.






Below is the military parade to celebrate 70 years of victory over Japan held in 2015. China did not have this kind of soldiers and weapons systems when they were fighting the invading Japanese. Neither did they have them when fighting 22 countries in the anti US Imperial War in Korea. China is the only country that defeated the Americans and a combined international force from 22 countries.

Theme parties can be dangerous and racially unacceptable

A couple of years back, one UOB staff attending an annual D&D was attacked for being racist when he put on India attire and painted his face black. Now we have an ad, supposedly to show the four major races in the island, ie CMIO, Chinese, Malay, Indian and Others or Eurasian and because the creator of the ad chose to be creative by using a Chinese actor to dress up to look like the 4 races, some have come up to object against him painting himself a brown tone, and insisted that he was trying to be an Indian or a Malay and that was bad, insensitive.
 

In the ad there was already a ‘Malay’ lady and an ‘Indian’ man, impersonated by the actor, Dennis Chew. So the brown tone man could not be a Malay or Indian, likely to depict a smartly dressed Eurasian in tie, but for those that took the position that it was offensive to depict a Malay or Indian man in brown tones, insisted that ‘he’ must be a Malay or Indian, so that their objection would stick. The Malay or Indian character is already represented in the ad, so do not insist that the brown tone man was meant to be an Indian or a Malay and thus offensive.
 

Is this what sensitivity or insensitivity is all about? Does anyone believe that the ad creator or Mediacorp that commissioned the ad has any ill intention to humiliate or make fun of any minority race? Could anyone want to look at the ad as a creative piece of art or advertisement? Is this about tolerance and insensitivity or about intolerance and over sensitivity?
 

The law must be sensitive and yet be practical and with some room for artistic and creative works and not simply lump every little thing as insensitive and unacceptable. What kind of society would we become if we allow this kind of intolerance to get too far and to grip the society into a state of paranoia?
 

Would people crossing dressing or dressed up in theme parties of different races be seen as racially insensitive? Would things that are taboo or prohibited in a race or religion be banned from the media because it would be seen as insensitive to that race or religion or some highly sensitive person claimed to be offended?
 

Where shall the line be drawn in our multi cultural and multi religious society? Where is the tolerance or sensitivity, or intolerance and insensitivity when we are living so close to each other? Should the govt react whenever a silly ass claims to be offended and start to ban this and that?
 

Should all theme parties that are religious or racial in origin be banned henceforth so that no one would be offended? Is it offensive for a person to dress in the attire of another race while participating in a festival, event, NDP or Chingay?
 

Should the country be held at ransom by a few highly strung and highly sensitive individuals like the swine teacher that said saying beef curry is racially insensitive because Hindus don’t eat beef?
 

Singapore shall not be ruled by the tyranny of the minorities. The authority, especially the Police, must be guarded against being exploited by the minorities in making false allegations and complaints against others. 

The latest case of the E-pay ad is a good example of what false allegation can do to harm racial relations.
There is this tendency to believe the complainant as the victim but this is not necessarily so. The Police must have a protocol to ensure that a police report or complaint has a valid basis. If the complaint is false or mischievous, the Police must take action against the complainant. The Police must not be made to go chasing red herring like fools and the complainant goes free for making false allegation to exaggerate and raise racial tension. If there is no such protocol, the fakes and mischievous would be encouraged to continue to abuse the Police and authority to do their bidding.?
 

What action will the Police take against the complainant in this E pay ad case?
 

What action will the Police take against the foreign associate professor in NTU for questioning the racial composition of our country and suggesting that a Chinese majority has conferred unfair privileges to them and this must be changed?
 

What action has the Police or MOE taken against the teacher that bullied a 9 year old boy for mentioning the word beef curry and threatened him and insulted him that this was unacceptable and the boy could be killed in certain country?
