Meritocracy in Singapore, without prejudice to tribes and colours

Under 30s unemployment reaches 10.5%

It is unacceptable for this government to continue to engage in massive foreign talent employment and leave our young adults highly educated but unemployed.

May I ask at what % of unemployment will the PAP finally address this issue with the gravitas it deserves? Clearly not at 5% or 8% or 10%…..

In the meantime the cost of lost income, lost potential, lost hope and lost opportunities burden our brilliant young Singaporeans.

Lim Tean

The above is part of an article posted by Lim Tean in TRE. It highlights the high unemployment of Singapore's young that are increasingly finding it more difficult to land a proper permanent job in Singapore, an island that could provide at least a few hundred thousand good jobs, permanent jobs to foreigners with real degrees, half past six or fake degrees. At face value the unemployment of Singaporeans be they PMETs, young and old, should be a serious concern of the govt. I used to talk about it, thinking in my naive way, that since Singapore belongs to Singaporeans, job priority must go to Singaporeans first, just like what Lim Tean was saying above. 

Now as I get to understand the ruling govt's policy on meritocracy, I also start to understand why things are going about this way, why many highly qualified and experience PMETs and young graduates are seeking to find work as Grab drivers or food delivery persons.

Singapore is all about meritocracy. The best man wins the job, gets the jobs. That is why you see so many talented men and women in the govt, and being paid in the millions. Singaporeans that could not get a decent job, a permanent job, must reflect on themselves why they ended up jobless or as temporary staff or as Grab drivers and delivery boys and girls. Obviously they are less able than those that got the good jobs. Do not believe in the piece of paper from so called world class universities. Foreigners with degrees from God knows where universities or with fake degrees or no degrees could be more talented and thus deserved the good jobs, based on merits of course. Can do the job while Singaporeans can't despite the expensive degrees.

Singapore is a place built and designed for talented people. Those that are less talented must give way to the more talented, be it in the govt or in the private sector. This is the foundation of Singapore's well being and future prosperity. Singaporeans and Singapore citizenship do not guarantee a Singaporean a good job. Meritocracy is the way to go, regardless of citizenship, race or nationality.

The govt and the big banks and big corporations are seeing more and more untalented, unmeritocratic Singaporeans being replaced by foreigners, and if necessary, make them Singaporeans and no one can be unhappy that non Singaporeans are taking over their jobs. Singaporeans must accept that meritocracy is the best policy for the survival of Singapore, and Singaporeans must live with it or move out. The banking and finance industry is setting the trend to replace Singaporeans with talented foreigners based on meritocracy. Just walk around MBFC or Raffles Place and you would be able to feel the beat and presence of so many talented foreigners, oops, new citizens and residents. The IT industry is already as good as a foreigner industry. Soon other professions would follow, like the academics and even in the govt, in Parliament and the Cabinet.

Meritocracy is the best policy for Singapore to survive, like it or not. They used to say what is a piece of paper when they meant a degree is useless if the holder cannot work. Now the piece of paper can also mean the citizenship or IC. What good is that if the person cannot work and a better and more talented foreigners can be found to take his place? And it is so much easy for a foreigner to get a citizenship than an expensive degree from our world class universities. Just apply only, cheap and fast.

The lack of talent in Singapore is so obvious, especially in banking. So do not be surprise that all the top banking jobs would go to foreign talents aka new citizens and the less meritocratic Singaporeans would just have to give way. Those that are in the banking industry are still there for show as one by one they would be replaced by the best bankers from India. Indians are born to be bankers, a natural gift. And soon all the ministers could also be foreigners, oops, new citizens.

Meritocrazy is best for Singapore.  Oops, I mean meritocracy.

Meng Wanzhou - The day Canada agrees to extradite her to USA, the 2 Canadian Michaels would die

 Meng Wanzhou has been illegally arrested and detained in Canada for more than 2 years despite the fact that she is not a US citizen and the alleged misrepresentation to HSBC was conducted in Hong Kong, not in an American jurisdiction. The USA, the evil Empire is illegally exercising the right of extraterritorial jurisdiction to arrest a Chinese citizen. This aside, when the whole world knows that this is a conspiracy between Trump and the little boy PM Trudeau to persecute a Chinese citizen for political reasons the farcical court proceedings continue.

Though China does not admit it, 2 Canadians were arrested in China for espionage and drug related offences and are pending trials. The delay in both being prosecuted in court is obvious. China does not want to harm them unnecessarily but should the reckless and irresponsible boy PM go ahead to extradite Meng Wanzhou to the USA, the fate of these 2 poor Canadians would be sealed. Very likely there would receive the death penalty or life imprisonment for their crimes in China, and a sentence made possible with the blessing of the boy PM. Trudeau does not care about their well being, though he knew that their lives are in his hands. He is prepared to sacrifice these 2 Canadians to please the Americans. So be it. 2 Canadian lives in exchange for scoring political points with Donald Trump and the American administration. China would not take this lightly.

The other evil and guilty party is the HSBC. Meng Wanzhou's lawyer had presented the fact that Meng Wanzhou had declared Huawei's business activities with Iran and the bank knew about it, the document was submitted by Huawei then. Meng Wanzhou did not hide the fact or lied to HSBC. However, HSBC had the audacity not to cooperate, refuse to produce the document and think it could get away from this crime. HSBC still in delusion, thinking Hong Kong is a part of the British Empire and they are above the law and China could do nothing with them. 

HSBC is operating in Hong Kong, China. China has just passed the National Security Law and this law could be thrown at HSBC to comply and present the document as evidence to confirm what Meng's lawyer had presented. Failing to comply could mean not only a heavy fine on the bank, its business in Hong Kong would be in serious trouble, and the bank's staff involved in this conspiracy against a Chinese citizen could be arrested and face life imprisonment.

Hong Kong is no longer a British colony. HSBC would have to face the consequences of Chinese Laws. China should with immediate effect impound the passports of those bank officers connected with this conspiracy. China would protect its citizens in its own territory especially in cases of political conspiracy and crimes against its citizens.  The proverbial axe is hanging over the head of HSBC.

Meanwhile the stage is set for a trial for the 2 Canadian Michaels and their eventual demise in a Chinese jail is highly likely. This is my own personal opinion. If the devils are going ahead to commit crimes against Chinese citizens, they must be punished severely and the devils can say good bye to the Michaels. This is how evil and ugly the devils are, sacrificing the lives of their own citizens for a silly political game cooked up in the White House in USA. Only silly boys would compromise the integrity of the Canadian govt and the office of its PM to indulge in such trickery and silliness, and toying with the lives of 2 Canadians. He is going to have blood in his hand and his silly childish grin would disappear when this shit hits him.

The Canadians and the world are watching how evil and how silly this boy PM is.

White supremacy a transnational threat

 

Mon, 22 February 2021, 10:55 pm

GENEVA (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned on Monday that white supremacy and neo-Nazi movements are becoming a "transnational threat" and have exploited the coronavirus pandemic to boost their support.

Addressing the U.N. Human Rights Council, Guterres said the danger of hate-driven groups was growing daily.

"White supremacy and neo-Nazi movements are more than domestic terror threats. They are becoming a transnational threat," he told the Geneva forum. Without naming states, Guterres added: "Today, these extremist movements represent the number one internal security threat in several countries."

In the United States, racial tensions simmered during the turbulent four-year presidency of Donald Trump. His successor Joe Biden has said the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters was carried out by "thugs, insurrectionists, political extremists and white supremacists".

"Far too often, these hate groups are cheered on by people in positions of responsibility in ways that were considered unimaginable not long ago," Guterres said. "We need global coordinated action to defeat this grave and growing danger."  Yahoo News

Finally someone in the UN is brave enough to say the darn thing, the ugly truth of white supremacy, a white curse that have been the main cause of hundreds of millions of death and destruction all over the world since the days of white colonialism. The worse victims of this white curse were the natives of North and South America and the Africans.  Asians, Indians and Arabs were not spared either. Till today, this white curse is still in practice especially in white dominated countries stolen from the natives, in the USA, Australia, Britain, Canada etc etc. 

The USA is the biggest culprit of white supremacist terrorism until the blacks resigned to their fate of being perpetual victims of the whites, with no path to find justice for their misery and discrimination against them. Goerge Floyd and many blacks have died in the hands of white supremacists but no justice has been carried out on the perpetrators of this racist crimes.  The murderers are still living free, having a whale of a time, no punishment dealt on them.

And the racist Trump has fanned this flame of hate during his four years of reign of terror, supported by a hooligan gang of white supremacists, like Pompeo, Navarro, Bannon, etc etc. 

The UN must not stop just be talking about it. This agenda to destroy white supremacists must gather momentum to end this white curse once and for all for the good of humankind.  Say no to white supremacists. Countries that do not support this white terrorism should send their bananas to the US to be beaten up by the white supremacists to wake up the silliness in them. Let them face white rage and be victims of the white curse.

UN - How ridiculous can it be?

By Michelle Nichols

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The United Nations said on Thursday it is "now abundantly clear to all" that Eritrean troops are operating throughout Ethiopia's northern Tigray region and "well-corroborated" reports suggest they are responsible for atrocities.

"Eritrean Defence Forces must leave Ethiopia, and they must not be enabled or permitted to continue their campaign of destruction before they do so," U.N. aid chief Mark Lowcock told the U.N. Security Council according to remarks seen by Reuters.

The UN in the above remarks is telling the Eritrean troops to leave Ethiopia. What about Americans in Iraq after being proven that they lied about WMD and murdered its President, Saddam Hussein, and continue to stay there killing more Iraqis and destroying the country.  Why didn't the UN tell the Americans to leave Iraq?

Why didn't the UN tell the Americans to leave Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and the surrounding African and Middle eastern states?

Why, why, why? 

The more the UN tries to admonish and tell the smaller countries of violations and infringements of human rights and cross border wars, the more ridiculous it looks when the elephant is still in the room. The American soldiers are all over the place conducting illegal wars of invasion under fabricated lies and false flag incidents, committing atrocities, war crimes and crimes against humanity.  And the UN kept mum, looked the other way, could not see anything and would not say anything.

This is how ridiculous and farcical the UN has become. The UN has become another big bully like the evil Americans, often as accomplices to the Americans especially in all the horrendous sanctions against nation states and impoverish their people to decades of hunger, deprivation and starvation.

Another ridiculous thing is to allow the world's number terrorist nation to build up a nuclear arsenal of 7000 nuclear warheads and still developing more deadly ones and supporting this evil Empire to attack North Korea and Iran for wanting to have a few pieces of nuclear weapons as a deterrent against the evil Empire.  What the hell is the UN thinking, that it is alright for the most belligerent and warmongering country, regularly threatening to nuke other countries to dictate who can have nuclear weapons and who cannot while it hoards thousands of them and ready to use against other countries?

The UN must pass a resolution to demand the evil Americans to destroy their nuclear arsenal, and all the nuclear powers as well. This world cannot afford to have nuclear weapons. Defintely not to let the evil American Empire have a monopoly of nuclear weapons to threaten other nations.

Wake up and do the right thing UN! Make it a mission to destroy all nuclear weapons, starting with the disarming of the evil American Empire.

Britain's new gunboat adventurism in South China Sea presents a great opportunity for China to sink them

 The Brits are sending their aircraft carrier and a few warships to the South China Sea as a show of force, also in response to a British MP's call to attack China like in 1840s. This is a rude reminder of the shame and humiliation of China and it is timely that China must seize this golden opportunity to teach the evil Brits a lesson they would not forget. In their dying days as a maritime power, and with the ascendance of China as the new super power, any attempts to humiliate China in China's courtyard would bring disaster to the British fools who refused to understand the new balance of power.

China must sink these warships, gives the British rogues an excuse to attack Chinese ships and then blow them up to pieces. Though this would not be enough to avenge the invasion of China, the burning of the Summer Palace, the seizure of Hong Kong and many unequal treaties, it is still good enough to give the Brits a kick in the ass. And what can the Brits do about it? Absolutely nothing even if it declares war on China. It would not have any more ship to sail to China any more. Whatever is left would be turned into mince meat in the South China Sea if they dare to come.

The sinking of the Queen Elizabeth II would have greater impact and meaning to the Americans and the rest of the world. It would be a great opportunity for China to demonstrate to the Americans what China's anti aircraft carrier missiles are capable of doing and would do the same to American aircraft carriers in the area and all American bases in South Korea, Japan, Guam and the surrounding land. It would be a good exercise to test the effectiveness of DF 21 and DF 26 missiles to frighten the shit out of American murderers in their aircraft carriers.

It would also be a lesson to silly little countries like Japan and Australia to know what China is today and they would face the same fate if they dare to repeat the same stupidity of the British. 

Taiwan would then voluntarily reunite with China without the use of force.

Would the Americans dare to start a war with China should China sink the British warships? China is not Iraq, not Iran, not even Russia, but bigger, very much bigger and could deal the Americans an equally severe blow to end the American Empire, and also the end of civilisation.

China must do it. This is a golden opportunity presented by the silly Brits, to taunt China with aggression and warships in Chinese territory and enough justification to sink them. The British warships in Chinese territory, like the American and other warships in Chinese territory, is an act of war. China must return the favour or it would only invite more such dangerous adventure to taunt and humiliate China.

China's time has come and the British is doing China a favour. The Brits are sending China a present, to be kicked in the ass, in China's courtyard. No one is allowed to send warships into a China store and walk our alive. There is no option for China except to destroy these warships. It would be like the Japanese sinking the Prince of Wales and the Repulse in WW2. This could be WW3 in the making. What choice has China? When trouble comes knocking, China cannot afford to walk away with its head bent. It would be the end of China and another humiliation that no Chinese would accept today. 

This is it. This is the moment for China to stamp its authority and arrival as the next super power, or it would be dismissed by all the countries watching its humiliation by the Brits a second time. China would have to hide its face for good, and never to open its mouth to tell the world that it is a super power when it could not even deal with a little aggressor, a has been power like Britain.

The stage is set for a showdown.
