No American military bases are allowed in any of the ASEAN countries. ASEAN must be firm on this.
Covid-19 Triple Mutation - The Super Infectious Indian-UK Variant
Vietnam has imposed a ban on all international flights to Hanoi and other areas.
China has stopped international flights to Guangzhou Province and other cities.
Malaysia has locked down for two weeks.
Elsewhere, the super-spreader of the B1617 variant from India is spreading fast and furious in many countries.
India,
the super-spreader country for the B1617 variants in the world for the
last three months has still refused to lock down and close its borders
or ban flights, thereby allowing the B1617 variants to spread to other
countries intentionally.
Singapore is going to follow India by
keeping its borders open in order to import more B1617 into the tiny
congested island so that its residents can get infected more easily and
die faster. Why so stupid?
Desperate for business and money? The National Reserves run dry already? Cannot hack already? Pathetic and tragic!
What will happen to us?

Covid19 - Danger of more big waves
Fully vaccinated people infected with Covid variants may be likely to pass the virus on, researchers have said....
Researchers at the University of Washington in the United States sequenced samples from 20 health workers who went on to contract Covid after receiving both doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
The study showed that all 20 were infected with variants of concern that have been driving second waves of Covid in many parts of the world – eight had the UK variant, one the South African variant, 10 had one of the two California variants and one had the Brazilian variant.
The researchers then compared the samples collected from this group with samples collected from 5,174 non-vaccinated individuals who had Covid.
While everyone in the vaccinated group had a variant of concern, only 67 per cent of non-vaccinated individuals did. The study also showed that the vaccinated individuals infected with Covid had high viral loads....
Dr Pavitra Roychoudhury, the lead author of the study, said the "prevailing understanding" was that while vaccine breakthrough cases would occur, they would be mild.
"But in contrast to that, what we saw among our 20 samples was that a number of them actually had quite robust viral loads. That was concerning in the sense that there was definitely enough virus to sequence, and potentially there might be enough virus to transmit," she said.
Report by Anne Gulland from the Telegraph, 'Fully vaccinated people who catch Covid variants may pass virus on, study finds'
The above report says that the potential risk of spreading more deadly variants would come from people that have been vaccinated. These people would have mild symptoms of infection or even asymptomatic. Some would carry unusually higher load of virus in them but appearing to be healthy and normal.
And with many irresponsible govts and even scientists encouraging those that have been vaccinated to go around living as normal, no need to wear masks, go socialising, make close contacts, promiscuity etc etc, you can bet this group of people would be happily passing their viral loads to their contacts and causing more waves of infection, and may even spread more new variants that could prove even more deadly, having survived the vaccination regimes. Those who have been vaccinated think they are safe. This may be the case, they are safe themselves, but unsafe and a danger to others if they are carriers of heavy loads of virus in them. They could become the big spreaders.
The pandemic is not going away and could carry on for a long while to come, and with more adverse consequences. It just goes on to the next level of lethality.
In Hsien Loong's address, Singapore is trying to go for herd immunity quickly by vaccination. It is good to reach heard immunity, but the danger of reaching herd immunity is that we are safe to open the island and allow more travellers to come in, loosening up of control measures so that life can be as normal as before.
Why is this dangerous? How can we be safe and open up when some countries are losing control with the virus, in many dangerous variants in their people, and let these people easier access to our country because we think we are safe, because we have achieved herd immunity? The eagerness to open up too early means risking more deadly variants hitting our shores from high risk and unsafe countries.
The mutation of the virus is very dynamic and unpredictable. It is not going to stop at B117 or B1617.2. The only thing predictable is that many new variants would crop up, and can be more deadly and can still infect people that have been vaccinated. The vaccinated may not be protected from the new variants. Until the rest of the world is safe, we cannot be safe even if we have herd immunity. Don't end up like Taiwan or India. Don't be reckless.
280,000 seniors are still not vaccinated. I am one of them. I am still waiting for the Chinese vaccines that somehow are yet to be approved after such a long time. OK, mRNAs are safe. But I prefer traditional vaccines that are safer. Please approve the Chinese vaccines in warp speed, better if the one shot vaccine is made available. The people must be given a choice to choose what vaccine they are comfortable with. It is their lives being affected. Let the people decide.
PS. It is reported today that Sinopharm vaccines could be used on conditions that it would only be available in the private sector. The govt would not use it nor would the govt subsidise it. Why, why, why? Sinopharm is definitely cheaper and easier to administer. Why is the govt distancing itself from this Chinese vaccine?
New Singapore Citizens Becoming The Majority Is Very Real, Not Hypothetical!
Singapore's population was 4.028 million in 2000, with Original Singapore Citizens (OSCs) estimated at 3 million.
Singapore's population in 2020 (Feb) was 5.69 million, with OSCs estimated at 3.1 million.
That means, over the 20 years period, the number of New Singapore Citizens (NSCs) was 2.59 million.
That also means an increase of about 1.295 million in 10 years.
Therefore, in another 10 years, NSCs would be 2.59 + 1.295 = 3.885 million people.
(Note:
Those Singapore Citizens' children born abroad are mainly NSCs'
children from India, born in India. They are curiously not included in
the conversion of Indian citizens to NSCs.)
In 10 years, while
OSC population remains stagnant at 3.1 million or dwindles because of
the natural birthrate of 1.1, the imported NSCs will be increased to
3.885 million, thereby becoming the Majority.
As can be seen over
the past 30 years, the government has no serious intention of
increasing the natural birthrate. Though it has put up some incentives
for women to have more children, such measures have been proven
inadequate and insufficient to increase the national birthrate
significantly.
Everyone knows it. The government also knows it.
Yet the efforts to increase the natural birthrate remain significantly
appalling.
On the other hand, one can see very clearly that there is a plan to convert more foreigners to NSCs.
Therefore,
in 10 years time, Foreigners (NSCs) will definitely be more than Locals
(OSCs). That means the chance of a non-Chinese Prime Minister is almost
certain.
Lesson Learnt
Academic excellence is just
that, academic. It cannot be equated to a smart street fighter, who is
quick to seize an opportunity, quick to size up any situation, and is
always proactive, instead of being slow, indecisive and reactive.
The
recent Covid-19 Pandemic exposes the true quality of the book-smart
academic-excellent scholarship-grabbing leaders of Singapore - slow to
act, indecisive and reactive.
Conclusion
The biggest
mistake in Singapore is to have book-smart people to rule the country
while importing street-smart people to become new citizens!

Covid19 - You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!
The silly and evil Americans are braying for the truth in the origin of the Covid19 pandemic. And they stupidly think, so convenient, that the virus came from a leak in Wuhan Lab.
They have several facts that they knew, even before the outbreak in Wuhan. They knew it was coming when Trump said he was going to send a present for China. Fauci also hinted about it. Bill Gates and the American intelligence and military were preparing for exactly such a pandemic, starting from a wet market in Wuhan, months before it started. And the military games when American soldiers were in Wuhan a month just before the outbreak, with several of them found sick and quickly bungled home.
Yes, the Americans knew about the origin of this pandemic in Wuhan long before it started and by all means would want to make it as if it was a leak from Wuhan Lab, which was given the Covid19 virus by Fauci, with funding to conduct gain of function research in the Wuhan Lab.
These are factual and the Americans are relying on them to want to fix China and put the blame on China.
There are several facts that the Americans knew but did not want to acknowledge, did not want to talk about, of the origin of this pandemic. Several prominent Americans, including governors had came out in the open to say that they had been infected by Covid19 months before Wuhan, in America homeland.
The numerous deaths in a village around Fort Detrick months before Wuhan, were wrongly classified as common flu or deaths caused by vaping. The head of CDC had admitted that those deads could be caused by covid19, but wrongly diagnosed as something else.
The closing down of Fort Detrick for cleansing then, because of a leak that the Americans did not want to talk about was becoming more suspicious. Why so afraid of letting WHO to investigate the facility like they are demanding to investigate Wuhan Lab?
Why not investigate the soldiers that went to Wuhan, their sickness etc? How could Covid19 infect American soldiers in their warships in the Pacific Ocean, with no contact with Wuhan, far far away from Wuhan, before the virus was detected in Wuhan?
And many European countries have come up with evidence that Covid19 were already spreading in their countries long before Wuhan.
All these damning evidence and facts could point to one source, the origin of the pandemic, Fort Detrick, USA. Why not conduct the investigation to prove to the world that there is nothing to hide, be transparent and come clean? By ignoring the evidence of the source of Covid19 coming from the USA and selectively choosing facts that came much later, after happening in Wuhan, to prove the origin of the virus from Wuhan, is pure mischief.
The truth is obvious. When finally confirmed and exposed, the evil scheming Americans would have no where to hide. But hiding is the last thing on their mind. They are exceptional, American Exceptionalism means they could tell lies, invade countries, conduct massacres and genocides and look straight into the eyes of the world as if nothing has happened.
These lies about leak from Wuhan Lab, when it was most likely planted by the Americans, a very vicious and evil act, would likely to end up like the WMD lies in Iraq. No consequences. The liars would get away with murders and destruction of Iraq and many other countries, and the death of millions of people worldwide because of this intentional leak of Covid19 bioweapon in Wuhan, in the wet market, and wanting to pin the blame on Wuhan Lab as the source of the leak.
Fauci is now the devil exposed and would be buried alive. Before that happened, Fauci should just spill the beans and tell the truth, tell the world that it all started in Fort Detrick. It was all planned to decimate the Chinese people but the plan failed and everything got out of control. The finger pointing at China was just a diversion to deflect the attention from coming back to the true origin of the virus, ie Fort Detrick, USA.
What are you waiting for, Fauci? There is nothing to hide anymore. Keep lying you would still be killed as the villain. Why not expose all the evil men and women and drag them along and not be crucified alone?
Evil Americans would be severely punished by heaven for this crime against humanity. This is the bridge too far and all hell will break loose to destroy this evil Empire.
