Do we trust our children are among the best in the world?

In an article today by Sandra Davie, entitled “It’s OK to be No. 2 in academics, but aim to top student well-being”, she raised a few chSingapore has done it again by securing 2nd place in Pisa. It means we are still operating at the top level (China was 1st, Macau was 3rd, HK 4th in some subjects) when it comes to excelling in Maths, Science and Reading. Also, at the last three occasions (beginning at 2009), we were top.

Mind you, Pisa is a gruelling assessment. The benchmark is against 600,000 students from 79 countries and economies. We had sent at random 6,676 teens, most of whom were in Secondary 4. It is a reliable gauge of how far we have come and what we have done right to hone our future generation’s critical thinking skills and personal resilience.

Mr Sng Chern Wei, MOE’s deputy director-general said: “We are pretty happy with the 2018 Pisa findings because they show that our students are equipped with the critical skills and the resilience to cope with the challenges of a rapidly changing world.”

ampagne toasts to our educators for the results. She noted that we are heading in the right direction when it comes to critical thinking. “Remembering formulas or chunks of content won’t do. Pisa’s questions require students to use their knowledge and skills to solve problems in unfamiliar contexts.”....

I just want all of you to ponder, why would these world best students, for many years we were top, being treated as useless and untalented and consistently being replaced by CECA Indians that were unplaced in the PISA test? PISA is an international organisation and tested and deemed our students as world best. But our very own idiots in Singapore are treating our world best students as daft and systematically replacing them by third world fakes and conmen!

What is the scheme of things? Is there a master plan behind this cleansing of Singapore's DNA? Who is the mastermind behind this anti Singaporean scheme?

I feel very sorry for the younger Singaporeans, that with their PISA performance they would only end up as Grab drivers and security guards. All the top positions in Singapore are increasingly filled by CECA Indians and third world fakes. Their PISA scores are only good for gloating for a day or two and would soon be forgotten.  

Can you believe this, Singapore idiots replacing our world best own children with third world fakes and cheats they called them talents?

The gold relay teams for men M50 and women W40. Both teams won gold for 4x100m and 4x400m

This is our happy hour corner where we unwind every evening, like our private club. We took the whole floor of suites and this is our privilege to use this room with free food, wine, beer and drinks.

We had a sumptious dinner at this restaurant to end our visit to Kuching. This is only half of the team present. Some had gone back, some enjoying somewhere else.

PS. Would like to post the two exciting videos of the M50 and W40 4x400m relays but unable to do so as they exceeded the time limit of blogspot. Both beat their rivals by a big margin with every runner running at their best.

My 100m heats and finals for M70

My finals in pouring rain. Supposed to run at 2.35pm but because of a massive foul up, all the running events were delayed by more than 3 hours with so much confusion. Until now I still did not know my position and timing for the finals, either 4th or 5th. Taipeh first, 2nd and 3rd, Japanese. I was in lane 8.

Came in second in the heats.

My medal hope is fading away as our chances for 4x100m has gone up in smokes as one of our runners has to return home early. So no horse run tomorrow.

M50 200m, a rare moment with Singaporeans leading the pack. Foong Wee took gold, Tony Tan took silver. Yew Yong was pipped at the finishing line to finish 5th.

Our medal tally to date is 9 gold, 11 silver and 8 bronze.

All telco companies and technology companies that are committing spying on their users should be banned

The crime of Huawei is spying on its users, not proven. Equipment suppliers that hide their criminal acts of spying against their users, stealing their private data etc must be banned, prohibited from use. Huawei is the first target of this high standard set by the West. Unfortunately they could not prove that Huawei is guilty of their charges. They have made many many investigations, using very fine combs to go through Huawei's software for years but came out with nothing. Huawei is not guilty, exonerated from the falsified accusations of the Americans. But still they refused to pronounce that Huawei is innocent. They are continuously repeating this charge, with every idiotic American politician and personality parroting it daily to force people to believe in the charge. Huawei is not innocent until proven guilty. Huawei has been proven innocent while under false charges.

The principle used against Huawei, to forbid Huawei from use, for spying on it users, is universal and must be applied to all equipment manufacturers, internet system and telco system providers. It has been proven beyond reasonable doubt, accepted and admitted by Apple, Google, Twitter, and all the western equipment manufacturers and software and system providers that they are spying on their users, collecting their private and confidential data for the American govt and intelligence agencies. These manufacturers and system providers must be banned, prohibited from use until they stop committing such criminal activities against their users.

Why are the Americans silent on the guilty ones but keep on pushing false charges against Huawei that is innocent of the alleged crimes? Why is the world accepting in silence the criminal activities of these manufacturers and system providers without protest, that it is alright for them to spy on them, to steal their private data?

All these manufacturers and system providers should be replaced by Huawei. If not, users must choose wisely by opting to use Huawei equipment to protect themselves and their privacy, to protect themselves from being spied upon by the Americans.

See the hypocrisy, that the manufacturers and software and system providers that are spying on everyone, on their users, are doing so openly, without being accused of doing so? American exceptionalism or the stupidity of the rest of the world?

Wake up and stop being daft. Use Huawei to be safe from spying.
