The Truth About Meritocracy

 The Truth About Meritocracy

Meritocracy, like democracy, has become a dirty word in the world today.

It does not bring about equality but creates inequality.

It does not bring about freedom but creates restrictions and limitations.

It does not bring out the beauty of those who have talents but their ugliness and their iniquities.

It does not help the majority nor the society but only serves the few who set out to grab the best of everything for themselves.

Most importantly, it does not bring happiness to the country and its people but only questionable happiness to a few.

Finally, it leads to a elitist society controlled and manipulated at the very pinnacle of power by a tiny group of self-serving, self-enriching and self-praising elitists, always hungry and greedy for more and more.....

Evil Americans still thinking that war is good business

 Just a few years back, war was still a very lucrative and 'safe' business for the evil Americans. The whole of the American economy is built on wars and the sale of weapons. Selling weapons costing hundreds of millions per piece or billions per system is good business, definitely better than selling mobile phones or soya beans. The whole American economy now depends on the military war complex to generate the revenue and provide jobs for the American middle class. Without wars, the American economy would become irrelevant.  Without wars, there would be no meaning to a 1 trillion dollar military budget, to maintain 1,000 military bases all over the world and 11 nuclear aircraft carriers and hundreds of thousands of highly paid killers in uniform, killing innocent people in the name of democracy, human rights and protecting them.

Today, the business is still very profitable but 'safe' is no longer relevant. The Americans then was able to start wars, control the theatres of wars, limit the size of wars, as it was a one sided affair.  The Americans carrying the stick to knock at everyone with no one able to hit back. Today, the other side, the victims of American wars, can hit back equally hard, equally destructive. The Americans have lost the initiative and edge to manage and control a war. Can anyone imagine what a war would be like between the Americans and the Russians, the Chinese or even with the Iranians? The damage on both sides would be unimaginable.  The destruction is unacceptable on both sides.

But still the American gangsters are stoking for wars. The latest, the so called QUAD alliance of the USA, Japan, India and Australia, is about war against China. Its mission is to contain China, to block China by military means when all China did was to become a rich and successful nation in science and technology, in trade and economic development, in helping and sharing with the lesser developed countries to rebuild their countries. These are unacceptable to the evil warmongering countries now called the QUAD. 

Economic development and trade to prosper, to live a better life, maybe better, but to the QUAD members are acts of wars! China for the moment, the primary target, labelled as the enemy, must not be allowed to prosper and be richer than the Americans or the QUAD members. To do that, to achieve such a dream to better the lives of its people is equivalent to aggression. China must be kept down, be a poor nation of people, to be pushed around, to be dependent on western charity and kindness and generosity. For China and the Chinese people to want to live a better life is unacceptable, forbidden by the Americans, is hostility and must be attacked, even by means of wars.

This is how evil and belligerent the evil Americans and the members of the QUAD are. They want to go to war with China for the mere fact that China is getting richer and more prosperous.  And they want the rest of Asia to come to be part of the gang to go to war with China when the only crime of China is trade and economic development, BRI, scientific development etc etc. And they labelled China as assertive, aggressive, while they sent their warships into China's front yard to threaten China with wars. 

And as expected, many silly and unthinking leaders would take sides with the evil Americans, blaming China for the tension in the region, telling China not to hit back, to turn the other cheek when slapped by the evil Americans. It is the fault of China for becoming rich and prosperous and working very hard to make its people richer and living a life better than the Americans. This is a crime and cannot be allowed, so said the evil Americans.  And silly unthinking leaders would echo, aye aye sir. When the Chinese people become rich they become a threat as they would consume more resources. This is the silliness in this kind of thinking.

China today is in a position to sink every warship in the South China Sea or Yellow Sea when war starts. China is no longer a hapless nation to sit there and get bombed by its enemies, unable to hit back. It would hit back with equal or greater force than the enemies could deliver. Silly little countries like Britain, Australia, France, India and even Japan still think this is the 19th Century era. Then 8 countries could invade China and got away with it.  Today China could turn the table against 8 countries led by the number one terrorist country, the USA.

China must sink the British aircraft carrier in the South China Sea when provoked. The British would not be able to do anything about it. The USA would not dare to start a war with China because of this. Forget about the antique Indian aircraft carrier. It would sink by itself if it did not limp back to India in time.

War is no longer a safe business for the evil Americans. Try it on Iran or Myanmar and see what would happen. The sinking of an American aircraft carrier would be a remarkable spectacle to watch.

Important Facts of History In Brief

1.     Chinese silk, tea and porcelain help to civilize the western world.

More than 2,000 years ago the elite ruling class of the Roman Empire lived in splendour with Chinese silk, sipped Chinese tea and served their drinks and food in fine Chinese porcelain wares. 

2.     These luxurious Chinese products were brought by Chinese and central Asian traders who traversed the vast deserts of Central Asia before reaching Rome. These traders also brought spices from India and South East Asia to Rome and Europe.

3.     The Romans and  the Europeans could not access these goods directly from China and the East because all the trading routes for silk and spices were controlled by the Mongols and later by the Muslim Arabs.

4. In the 13th Century Marco Polo brought back stories of the fabulous wealth of China and its great civilization of pomp and luxurious living. These stories aroused the European interests in China and eventually stirred up the catalyst for the renaissance of Europe which was then living in a state  of semi-civilize backward society.

5.     Admiral Zheng He of China made many voyages to Africa and Arab Middle East. An Italian  who was working for Admiral Zheng He stole some of Zheng He's maps of his voyages around the world especially maps of America.

6.     A genoa sailor Christopher Columbus got the map from the Italian after going through some sort of agreement. 

7.    Failing to get support from the Italian government for his voyages to China, Christopher Columbus approached the Spanish Crown which sponsored his voyages in a mutual beneficial agreement.

8.     Columbus landed in Hispaniola in America which he thought was China or South East Asia spice islands.

9.     The aftermath of Columbus saw the whole of Europe especially Spain, Portugal, England, France and Holland  fired with great eagerness to sail to China and South East Asia for the rich trade in silk, tea, porcelain and spices. And the rest is history.. 

10.   In short that leads to how the Americas were attacked and invaded with horrible brutalities and atrocities by the Europeans and how the United States came about in a rebellion against England.

11.    It can be said that without China there can be no United States. The extreme craziness to look for an alternative sea route to China led to the incidental discovery of the Americas. But the barbaric West especially the United States instead of showing gratitude to China has always been hating China and wanting to destroy China. This is how the Evil White Race ( EWR) of the United States and the Europeans repay the  goodness of China with their deep hatred and evil intent to destroy China and the Chinese people.

12     But the saddest and most unfortunate gruesome  historical event to happen was the genocide of over one hundred million or  almost all the  north American natives by the Anglo-Saxon British Christians and the over two or three hundred million natives of Central and South America by the Catholic Christians of Spain and Portugal over a period of about 500 years from the Year 1492 to the present. It is known as the 500 years curse of the natives of the 4As meaning Asia, Africa, the two Americas ( North America and South America inclusive of Central America.)

13. Nevertheless  God will make the Evil White Race (EWR) the white people pay for their sins of genocide and crime against humanity at any time God Chooses. It looks like the Coronavirus or Covid - 19 is God's send messenger to punish more exclusively the EWR or Evil White Race now.

China US high level meeting in Anchorage

 Is this a meeting of equals to discuss how to normalise relations? Or is this a order taking audience with the Emperor?

The Americans are already setting conditions and terms for China to comply or else no improvement in relations. China must behave, China must normalise relations with anti China prick Australia, China must do this and do that, especially in Xinjiang, in Taiwan, in Diaoyu Island.

What would the Chinese leaders bring to the table? Are they going there in fear, trembling in front of the Emperor, to be lectured on how to behave, and to take orders?

China would be silly to go to a meeting of equals but to be treated like a bad boy waiting to be caned.

It is time China stand up to the world's number one terrorist, to tell the terror that its time is up, that it cannot go on bullying China and the rest of the world. China must tell the terror to stop meddling in China's domestic affairs and fuck off to the eastern Pacific. The world is not the colony of the evil Empire and it should stop all wars of aggression, bullying countries with economic sanctions, that it should withdrew all its soldiers and military bases from the world, go back to Europe, not America, the stolen land.

China must tell the evil Americans in no uncertain terms that good relations can only be had on equal terms and can only proceed with mutual respect. The evil Empire is not an Empire and is not in a position to order China around, to dictate terms to China. If China continues to adopt a non confrontational diplomacy in dealing with this international terrorist, China would lose all respect in the eyes of the people of the world. China's politeness is seen by this bully as signs of weakness and to be bullied.

This agenda for this Anchorage meeting must be set by both parties, consented by both parties, not set by the evil Empire. China does not need to talk to the evil Empire on its domestic affairs.  There is no need to entertain the evil Empire on its terms. The meeting should discuss about how to move forward, not for the evil Empire to dress down on China.

China's diplomacy of turning the other cheek is over. China must stand up to this evil, murderous, warmongering, bullying American Empire. China must be prepared to walk out of the talk if the evil Americans insist on talking about China's domestic affairs. Period.

China's wolf warrior diplomacy must continue into this meeting of equals, to take the devil by its horns.  Toughness must be met with toughness, not with meekness. Only then would China gain the respect of the world and the evil Empire.

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.
