The Deep-Rooted Culture Of Entitlement In Singapore by Future Kings

The culture of entitlement has taken a deep root in the Singapore society slowly but surely over the past 50 years of PAP reign. How did it all started? It started with meritocracy (rewarding and promoting anyone who performs well) that raised a few farmers and peasants onto the high pedestal of society, e.g. a washer-woman’s son was raised to the most powerful position of the land. After a few of such meritocrats attained high status, wealth and power, they began to think of themselves as The Elite Class, who are entitled to rule the country because they are the best thinkers and performers. After ruling the country for some time, they began to think that they are entitled to rule forever and so they proclaimed themselves as The Aristocrat Class, the Untouchables. No one can challenge them. No one can criticise them. No one should tell them what or how to do certain things. No matter what actions they take, they must always be right. Never wrong. Never need to apologise. They are now entitled to do wrong things and be considered as right. This is the epitome of Entitlement and the zenith of Meritocracy. It is now called Meritocrazy!

Even opinions are now considered as an entitlement!

Opinions are expressions under the article of Freedom of Expressions enshrined in our National Constitution. They are not entitlements. Every intelligent human being is born with the freedom to express himself or herself. This is Natural Law, not man-made law. It is power-crazy men and women who try their best to suppress and alter this Natural Law of Freedom of Expression and Freedom of Experience that has brought so much injustice and suffering into the world.

Entitlement, similar to privilege, means someone/authority gives it to you. Which means it can also be withdrawn from you if you behave badly or not in line with what has been laid down by that someone or authority.

The Freedom of Expression enshrined in the Constitution nobody can take back from you. Not even the highest court of the Land. Unless the Constitution is suspended and a new Constitution is drawn up and approved in a Referendum to replace the previous Constitution. Many military coups’ junta simply abolished the old constitution and replaced it with a new one. Never go through proper legal process. No referendum. No elections. No consensus. Power simply rose from the barrels of the guns. He who holds the gun holds the power.

The law of the jungle reigns supreme in times of disorder and chaos. It is the commoners who always suffer, always on the losing end. That’s why commoners are inclined to think of their freedom of expression as an ENTITLEMENT!

I have posted the above written by Future Kings.

I would like to add that there is something similar to entitlement, like I own this place so I dictate the rules for everyone to follow. This is an example of what a local bank will do when they called you for a survey or to find out something from you. After calling you they demanded that you identify yourself to them. They cannot tell the difference between who needs who? If I call someone for help, I don't ask the person to identify himself to me. That person does not need to talk to me or to assist me. And how stupid it is to call someone and still needs the person whom you already have the particulars to identify himself? What if the person say he is Lee Kuan Yew or Donald Trump? Who is wiser. But the mentality of those in power always take the position that they are in charge, your boss, and you need to comply and do what they want you to do, even if they call you for help. Singaporean mentality or some shit's mentality or mentality of people being in power for too long?

China must become more 'responsible', like the USA!

The time has come for China to play a bigger and more responsible role in the world, by becoming more involved in the national affairs of every country. China must follow what the Americans are doing to be seen as being responsible. China just have to follow the footsteps of the Americans, learn from the Americans and do what the Americans are doing.

The first thing China must do is to get involved, meddled in the domestic politics of every country. Put a finger into everything and stir up shit in other countries. But before doing that, let's take things one step at a time. Before China starts to poke into every country's domestic affairs, start cautiously with the USA. Test the water, test how it works. China could start by supporting the rights of the native Americans, supporting the the victims of white racism against the blacks, the Latinos, pass laws to protect and support these groups of oppressed Americans. Start to set up agencies and funds to work with these people in the USA.

The next step is to send its military forces overseas, to sail the seven seas to threaten and bully any country that does not agree with China.  Set up more military bases overseas, including highly toxic biological weapon labs in other countries, to be used as threats against any silly little countries that would try to be funny with China, would not listen to China, twists their arms to buy Chinese military weapons, forces them to take sides between the USA or China. This is standard SOP of the Evil American Empire.

As for internal insurgents from minorities, China should take a piece out from the American history book in the way they decimated their native Americans, by attacking them and spreading diseases among them. Once their number is small enough, allocate some waste land as reservations and march them into these waste land to pass their dying days. The Americans would not be able to accuse China of such genocides as China can openly quote the examples of the native Americans that were genocided by the Americans. The Americans did it, we are just follow the examples of the Americans to be a responsible country.

China can also set up training camps, use Chinese agents and agencies to support, train and finance terrorist organisations like the Americans and use these terrorist organisations against countries that are unfriendly to China.

China must be prepared and ready to use its military might to start wars and support wars. Only by doing so would it gain respect and fear from troubling little countries that think starting a quarrel with China is harmless.

China must be like the evil American Empire to be seen as responsible and feared as a super power. Yes. learn and follow everything the Americans are doing. Get involved, meddles and interferes into every country's domestic politics, support dissidents in the name of democracy and human rights.

The most important role of China would be like the USA, become the policeman of the world, to stop countries that ferment wars, incite wars, threaten wars, starting wars with countries using wild allegations, even fabricating false evidence. Such warmongers must be stopped to maintain and protect peace in the world.

That's the way to go. China would then be seen as a responsible big super power, like the evil American Empire. To be feared and to be taken seriously and no silly little country would dare to pick up a fight with China.  To be a responsible super power, China must do what the Americans are doing, imposed trade and economic sanctions on enemy countries and cripple the economies of these countries and blame it on the incompetence of their govts. For a start China should close its market to UK, Australia and Canada and see how long can they afford to attack China and be nasty to China. No investment from these 3 countries, no trade with them, no buying of their products and raw material.

The Americans have set all the examples and ground rules to be seen as a 'responsible' or rogue superpower. China's policy of non interference in another country's domestic politics is not well received and should be abandoned. Smaller countries respect super powers wielding a big military clout, not by being nice to them, by non interference. This non interference policy only gets disrespect from the smaller countries as a toothless and useless tiger and could be bullied. Be like the Americans, carry the big stick and see if any small country would still dare to throw their weights around in the South China Sea. Just whack the daylight out of them like a big super power should, like what the Americans would do, to keep troublemakers away.

PS.  To become a responsible superpower in the likes of the USA, China must be prepared to start wars everywhere, intimidates, bullies and threatens countries that it declares as enemies.   Being nice and not interfering in other country's domestic affairs, not fighting wars, is seen as being irresponsible by the lying and warmongering USA and its equally trigger happy allies.

Bilahari Kausikan - Finally Singapore has a very brave man

 Mr Bilahari Kausikan went on attack mode on Cooling Off Day, ferociously questioning Mr Lee’s intentions in standing with the opposition. Sharing a news article covering Mr Lee’s final election campaign comments, the retired diplomat wrote:

“I have two comments/ questions: first, you are a beneficiary of the ‘privilege’ you now eloquently attack. Why? Because you were prevented from monetising the property your brother sold you?

“Second, if you are really so upset, why faff around the margins, trying to cause trouble without responsibility? Your excuse for not standing for election, that there need not be another Lee in politics is hollow: what are you doing if it is not politics? Cowardly!”

Above is from www.theindependent.sg. No one in Singapore has yet to attack the sons or daughter of Lee Kuan Yew in this way. It was direct and point blank. What Bilahari was saying amounts to saying how could Hsien Yang, a 'beneficiary of the "privilege"' if you know what that means, 'attack' when he could not make money from the property Hsien Loong sold to him. Could he be sued for making such a statement? He is a smart guy and knew what he was saying and whether it was safe to say so.

Secondly, Bilahari called out the excuse by Hsien Yang for not participating in the GE as hollow and cowardly. Wow, this is a straight punch into the face, calling Hsien Yang a coward.

Now Hsien Yang would have to respond, or would he not or take it like what Bilahari called him? Another show coming up and this one is going to be hot. Even Tommy Koh also cannot tahan. Why would Bilahari take such a pot shot which is not much different from the pot shots he took against China in the South China Sea episode, speaking on grounds of high principles I supposed. In that incident he got off unscathed. He was very brave then. Now he is showing his braveness once again as the undiplomatic diplomat that he proudly called himself.

It is rare to find such a brave man, speaking out loud, in his own capacity, without any backing from anyone. He is his own man, a very brave man indeed.

From The People By The People For The People, OR From The PAP By The PAP For The PAP?

In every election, without fail, the various political parties involved in the hastings and campaigning are bound to project to the unthinking and lazy-to-think and brain-dead voters that they are part of them, belong to them, and will represent them in parliament, and work for them tirelessly, and sacrifice for them, blah blah blah.

In reality, in all practical intents and purposes, inked in historical records in the Hansard, the PAP ministers and members of parliament are controlled by the PAP's WHIP. The Holder of the PAP's WHIP will dictate to all the PAP's ministers and members of parliament to VOTE ACCORDING TO THE DECISION ALREADY MADE by the PAP's Central Executive Committee headed by the Secretary-General of the PAP, who happened to be, by design not by coincidence, the Prime Minister - the Supreme Power of the Land!

There is a dire need for political education in Singapore. After 55 years of Independence, at least 70% to 80% of voters are still politically naive, backwards or pathetically apolitical. This is a clear reflection of the serious neglect and blatant irresponsibility on the part of the education system in tandem with the political system of the country.

Essentially and responsibly, all students and eligible voters must be made to understand and wake-up their long-slumbering, hazy-fazy ideas that "PAP ministers and members of parliament DO NOT represent YOU" in the Parliament when come to voting for any motion, law, change to the sacred Constitution, or anything of importance to the people.

When the time comes to take sides, PAP ministers and members of parliament will, without qualms nor hesitation, side with and represent the Supreme Leadership of the PAP. They will definitely NOT represent YOU or vote on your behalf nor for your interests. This fact has been established again and again and again for the past 55 years.

So, is it "From the people by the people for the people,
or is it from the PAP by the PAP FOR the PAP?

COE up ah, si beh ho ah! Make a lot of money ah!

"I am relieved that the COE market did not crash, as that would cause a lot of misery to secondhand dealers and existing car owners who may need to sell their cars," Said Khaw Boon Wan

SINGAPORE: Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums closed higher across the board on Wednesday (Jul 8) in the first bidding exercise since tenders were suspended because of COVID-19 restrictions.

For Category A cars, or those 1,600cc and below with horsepower not exceeding 130bhp, premiums closed at S$33,520, up from S$31,210 in the last exercise in March.

Premiums for larger and more powerful cars in Category B rose to S$35,889 from S$30,012.

Open category COEs, which can be used for any vehicle type but end up being used mainly for large cars, rose to S$34,989 from S$32,500.

COEs for commercial vehicles, which include goods vehicles and buses, rose to S$24,502 from S$22,002 in the previous bidding exercise.

Motorcycle premiums closed at S$7,702, up from S$4,489 in the last exercise.

Above is from CNA.

What shall I say? Is this a good thing or a bad thing? About 10 bidding sessions were held back, meaning 19,490 quota were accumulated and only to be released over the next 12 months. Sure the second car dealers would be happy.  Really? Sure, those wanting to sell their cars would be happy. Really ah?  Who do you think would be the happiest? More money to collect.  This is for sure.  Those that have to buy new cars and new motor cycles are crying. Who cares? You die your business.

When all the businesses are down, when people are losing jobs or fear of losing their jobs, the COE is the only thing that went up. Is this a sign of prosperity, or as someone might have said, the economy must be good or else people where got money to pay so much for a piece of paper? And some parties are happy. But silence on those people adversely affected by it. This is called telling half truth, or telling the alternative truth. Depends on which side you are on the fence, you can be happy or crying.

COE up ah, si beh ho ah. Everyone making money ah. You know who made the most money?  And who hurt the most? The poor buggers that need a car or motorcycle for a living.  Is this good or not? We are with you, for you and also makan you until your pocket empty.
