Save forests or build 4-rooms?

 

 Virgin land between Clementi Road and Bukit Timah Road. Waiting to be raped.

A commentary by Yun Hye Hwang in CNA,  Save forests or build 4-rooms? It’s not a zero-sum game

Conserving our forests is a delicate dance in a land-scarce country and a wicked problem. But this doesn’t mean there are no solutions, says one observer.

SINGAPORE: In late October, drone footage of Clementi Forest went viral, and many came to learn of and appreciate its wild beauty.

But after learning that the land had been earmarked for residential development, some netizens have called for its preservation, shining a spotlight on the dilemma of conserving forests in land-scarce Singapore.

A petition to protect Clementi Forest on Change.org has amassed over 10,000 signatures since its launch on Oct 26.

In response to queries, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said on Nov 30 that while Clementi Forest is classified as "Residential (Subjected to Detailed Planning)", there are no immediate plans for development yet.

I think all Singaporeans know the answer but did not know the real reason. Many would say good opportunity to build more flats to sell to make more money to pay million dollar salaries. Singaporeans only think of every opportunity to make money and every little corner of the island must be carved out for commercial purpose, to earn more money.

Some may ask, is money the only thing, especially money that does not go into the pockets of ordinary Singaporeans but to make more millionaires? So this piece of nature, a gift bestowed to us by mother nature, for our well being, would soon be turned into concrete jungles to feed more mouths, to allow more people to live on it.

Does Singapore need to build more flats for its citizens? No, Singapore has more than enough flats for its citizens. But Singapore has a bigger mission for the humankind of the world. Singapore has to build more flats to bring in more people from the rest of the world to come here to stay with us, to enjoy this island with us, to work here, to provide jobs for Singaporean, to some, to steal the lunch of Singaporeans.

The first mission is the key. This island is meant to be filled up with more human bodies, bodies from all over the world. Because the whole world is overpopulated, Singapore is not. The cries that we have limited land is a myth. Singapore has all the land for the whole wide world. Singapore if needed to, will build a new Tower of Babel to bring in more bodies here to stay. Or dig in more tunnels to create more space for the bodies of the world. 

For what, a few dirty dollars for who? No, not like that, we just need to build and build and build, for economic growth. Stupid. This is the highest level of thinking in Singapore. There is a little piece of land, good, build more flats or hawker centres. No more land, reclaim, reclaim. We have endless land. Only stupid people said Singapore has not enough land. This is a myth. If this is true, why bringing in thousands and thousands of bodies every year to this island? You think the gods have no brains to think is it? Unthinking gods?

They have very very big plans, to bring in more bodies, 10 millions, 15 millions, 50 millions also can. Use your blains, oops, I mean brains. What is the point to conserving a piece of waste land called forest? No value, no monetary value. 4 rooms flats good, very good.

PS. There is a need to save this world from climate change. Stop using plastic bags. Great effort to start with. As for that forest, let's cut it down for more DEVELOPMENT. Development for what? 

India is overpopulated, Singapore is not. Why build cities in India when you can build cities here and bring the Indians here? This piece of land can bring in another 100,000 bodies comfortably.

Can the US voting system be rigged or manipulated? American retired colonel claimed Singapore using American system

 1984 George Orwell said...

This is definitely of public interests:

"In a recent Pennsylvannia Senate Republican lawmaker public hearing into claims of election fraud, retired army colonel Phil Waldronm, who had served in cyber warfare units, said : “The voting systems in the US and in Pennsylvania were built to be manipulated. They’ve been used in elections around the world, in stolen elections around the world, in Venezuela, Italy, Argentina, Singapore, Bolivia as close as two weeks ago.” The colonel has cast aspersion on the integrity of our election system and it behoves on our government to make a public statement to clarify the matter to Singaporeans. None was forthcoming on a matter so serious. Our national reputation has been blemished but instead of a strong rebuttal, we are treated to the circus of a prime minister protecting his personal reputation in 2 simultaneous libel cases in the courts. Or perhaps, with their superior cyber intel, the US knows something and a rebuttal may open up Pandora’s box."

Questions:

1. Is Singapore's voting system the same as, or an adaption of, any of the US's voting systems?

2. If so, when did Singapore started using this US voting system?

3. Is it true that the votes can be manipulated?

4. If so, how are votes manipulated, stolen?

5. How much votes (%) can be stolen at any one time, so that suspicions won't be aroused?

6. Does this revelation warrant a Presidential Commission of Inquiry to thoroughly and unbiasedly investigate into the truth, or the extent of truth, and/or falsehood?

7. Would the Elections Department care to respond by declaring that this allegation by the US cyber warfare unit army colonel Phil Waldronm is not true and totally baseless?

8. Is this not a matter of national interest?

9. What are the views of all the political parties' leaders? Why are they keeping so quiet? In this issue, silence is not golden.

Silence means consent or non-commital, both of which are not in good light.

Pfizer Vaccine - Full Exposure And Revelation Are Required

1984 George Orwell said...

Pfizer Vaccine - Full Exposure And Revelation Required

1. The public has the basic and common right to have the full exposure and revelation of facts and findings of the Pfizer vaccine, or any other vaccine, before they are given the vaccination.

2. Advertising and recommendations, by words of mouth or written, through manufacturer or third parties, must not hide any inconvenient truth, or any facts, from the public whatsoever regarding any vaccine.

3. All vaccines have side-effects, ranging from mild to severe, and from drastic to fatal.

4. If anybody only talked about a particular vaccine's effectiveness without revealing its side-effects, such a vaccine must be viewed with conscious suspicion and great caution.

5. More data is needed to understand the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine fully, without an iota of doubt.

6. To what extent will it be dangerous to pregnant women, to children, to the aged, and to people who are immuno-compromised?

7. Does the vaccine provide long-term immunization to those who have taken it? If not, how long will it last?

8. Has it been proven, through mass testing, to determine exactly the extent of its efficacy and detriments? How large was the group tested?

9. What percentage of failure-rate and how severe were the failures in terms of human life, health and well-being?

10. Are the clinical test reports made available to the public in full voluntarily, without having to be asked for? If not, why not?

11. Has the manufacturer of the vaccine, deliberately or otherwise, hide any fact or data from the public?

12. Please think hard and do the necessary. Millions of human lives are involved. Human life is precious. One fatal casualty is one too many already. Just imagine that fatal casualty is your ownself or your loved ones.

Be responsible. Be fully responsible!


1984 George Orwell - 15 Dec 2020.

PS: The Pfizer vaccine is singled out because it has been adopted by the Singapore government for mass vaccination usage across the country, even though other vaccines are also available. Moreover, it has only been approved by the US Health Authority for Emergency Use Only, not for everyone anytime. It is, therefore, clear that the US Health Authority has exercised great caution in the application of the Pfizer vaccine, whilst the Singapore "Experts" seem to have failed to consider this aspect.

War Crimes - ICC probe but not in Afghanistan when throats of young boys were slit by Aussie soldiers

International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said on Friday that a "broad range" of war crimes were committed in the Ukraine since 2014, as she pushed for a full investigation.

Hague-based ICC prosecutors launched a preliminary probe in 2015 after Kiev gave it the green light to look into alleged crimes committed during the pro-EU Maidan demonstrations, which came to a head in February 2014 when pro-Moscow president Viktor Yanukovic was ousted.

Ukraine, which is not an ICC member state, later also gave Bensouda permission to broaden her scope and go beyond February 2014 to include the deadly conflict that has since wracked the country's east.

Bensouda said her initial probe had now finished.

"My office has concluded that there is a reasonable basis at this time to believe that a broad range of conduct constituting war crimes and crimes against humanity within the jurisdiction of the court have been committed in the context of the situation in Ukraine," Bensouda said.  AFP

Steady lah ICC, working so fast and so hard to conduct war crimes probe in Ukraine. Why not war crimes prosecution of Australians in Afghanistan when the evidence is already available? Why no war crimes investigation of American and Allied Forces in Iraq, Libya and Syria, and of course Afghanistan? No reasonable basis to believe there were war crimes in these war theatres? Or is it becomes the investigators would be attacked, blacklisted and even killed by the war criminals' countries?

Or is it the that the American and Allied soldiers were soldiers from heaven, all wearing a halo on their heads and would definitely not conduct crimes against the people and soldiers they are attacking? No war crimes in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib prisons?

Who is controlling the ICC and setting the agenda?

Russia abandoning 'no space tech' USA in ISS

 

 Fri, 27 November 2020, 12:54 am SGT

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia should consider revising the terms of its participation in the International Space Station, a Russian space industry executive said on Thursday, because it wants to focus on forming its own orbiting outpost after 2024....

"We have to reconsider the terms of further participation in the (ISS) programme and focus on the implementation of orbital station programmes," Vladimir Solovyov, deputy head of Rocket and Space Corporation Energia, was quoted as saying by the Scientific Russia internet portal.

The state-run company oversees the Russian segment of the ISS, which was launched in 1989 by the Russian and U.S. state space agencies....

He said a lot of the equipment on the ISS was starting to age and that it needed to be replaced. He said there would be an "avalanche" of broken equipment there after 2025.

The ISS is used for space and Earth exploration by 14 countries, including Japan, Canada and members of the European Space Agency. International agreements on its use are valid until 2024.  Reuters

Russia was conned by its arch enemy, the USA, to joint develop the ISS thinking that the Americans were more advanced in space technology only to be duped. Finally they have found out that the Americans were far inferior to the Russians, and the moon landings were but a big hoax. Other than cheating on the Russians, the other major interest of the Americans was to shut out the Chinese from the space programme. After cooperating with the Americans for the last 30 years the Russians now know that the Americans could contribute nothing but taking the Russians for a ride, depending on the Russians to bring American astronauts to the ISS. Without the Russian rockets the Americans could only land in the Arizona desert.

The Russians are now pondering on going it on their own in the next ISS when the current ISS's lifespan comes to an end in 2024. In fact it should end this year, 2020 but being stretched for another 4 years risking the lives of the astronauts and cosmonauts in the expired ISS.

When the Russians pulled out from the next ISS completely, the American would be left dangling in the air, in hot air and nothing else, unable to build their own space station and their astronauts got no where else to go. Maybe they should repeat their moon landing feats in the Arizona desert and with the latest digital technology and Hollywood, put up another big fake man landing on the moon with Trump and Pompeo as the astronauts.

Meanwhile the Chinese Space Station is taking shape and should be open for business this year or next. But the Chinese has already put up a sign, 'No Americans Allowed' on the door of CSS. The rock that the treacherous Americans rejected is now the corner stone of a new space church built by China.

Good riddance to fake technology. Well, they can prove it this time with their new attempts to land man on the moon. If they can do it, they should if they had done it so many times with old technology. If they can't, then it all goes to prove that they had not done it before. Here is the latest announcement.

 'CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida: NASA has named the 18 astronauts - half of them women - who will train for its Artemis moon-landing program.

The first woman and next man on the moon will come from this elite group....“The history is awesome, but we’re here to look toward the future,” Acaba told reporters after the announcement. .' AP 10 Dec 20

Yeah, prove it or it would become a big embarrassment. This time the rest of the world will be watching and the Americans cannot produce whatever fake news and images they want to con the world. The world has the technology to monitor the flight to the moon, no more fakes or Hollywood stuff.

This statement speaks a lot about the awesome history of America's moon landing missions. '“We are dreamers, but even more so, we’re doers," McClain said.' How can the Americans still be dreamers, dreaming, when they claimed they had done it so many times in the past. Their dreams already fulfilled, a reality in the 1960s! Isn't that the truth? Or is this the first time they are going to the moon? Why are they still dreaming of men landing on the moon today as a damn big thing when it was chicken feat then, 60 years ago? They had been to the moon umpteen times, so they claimed. They should be sneering at anyone wanting to go to the moon today as Johnny comes lately, nothing new to achieve, nothing great. They have done it long long ago.

PS.  The Americans claimed to have brought back 382kg of moon rock but now asking China for samples of moon rock taken back by Chang e 5. Why?
