Glimpses Of The Systemic Political Dislocation Of Singapore

1. It is now quite clear that the main agenda of our formidable Mastermind is to attack the Chinese Majority as racist in order to weaken and disunite the Chinese Singaporeans. At least one or two imbeciles have already fell into the trap. Such imbeciles are making themselves looking like fools. Such fools cannot and must not be the next PM of Singapore.

2. The attack on the Chinese Majority is also to make the Chinese voters go against the PAP and vote against the PAP, so as to prepare the ground for another party to replace the PAP in time to come - 2 GEs from now.

3. Over the next five years the Chinese votes for the PAP will still form a significant and critical part of the total votes. The Mastermind knows that PAP will still be elected. This is the time for the Mastermind to install the Puppet PM and then allow him to be toppled in the next GE by the selected Opposition Party. After that, all the blames will be poured upon him and his family.

4. During this period, we have to be aware that whoever stands out to speak against the Chinese Majority, is a stooge and a traitor. He must not be trusted at all.

5. The mastermind may not want to be the next PM. He will hide and remain in the background or backseat. It is not yet time for him to expose himself.

6. The Mastermind is a very skillful the king-maker. The next king and queen will be his puppets or stooges.

7. It looks like the present Queen has been bought or compromised but the next Queen and King will be worst.

8. If my assessment is correct, the next King and Queen are likely to be young, inexperienced, unsteady, lack of self-confidence and easily manipulated. They will deliver the seat of power to the Opposition.

9. The Opposition Party that will replace the PAP will be getting stronger and stronger in the next five years, getting ready to take over the total control of Singapore in ten years time.

10. The new ruling party will be have foreign supporters financially, politically and militarily.

How dangerous is electronic banking? Who shall be liable for fraud?

Facebook user Danica Alena Choo put up a post on June 16 that detailed how seven transactions totalling S$10,150 were made on her supplementary credit card without her knowledge.

In January this year, Choo tried to make an online purchase with her supplementary card, but it was declined.

When she called DBS to find out why, she was told that she had exceeded the credit limit.

"To my horror, I learnt that a total of SEVEN consecutive transactions were charged to my card, each amounting to approximately S$1,400. The total damage was S$10,150."

According to the bank, these transactions were made with a OTP (one-time password), meaning that they were secure. Because of this, the bank said that it was unable to refund the money.

"But guess what? I did NOT receive any OTP for these seven transactions at all.

The bank claimed I could have keyed in the OTP by mistake. But seven times?! Did the bank seriously think I would be tricked into giving the OTP to a stranger seven times?

Long story short, we are liable for the charges."

 

The above is reported in mothership.sg. In this case it was obvious that a fraud was committed 7 to 10 times. The card owner claimed innocence.  DBS also claimed innocence. Card owner has to pay.

Who shall be liable? How dangerous can electronic banking and credit card transactions be?

It is so scary.  

What kind of safeguards must be put in place to protect customers? $10,000 is nothing to a bank but could be all that a customer has. 

Who should be investigating the fraud? Would the bank be investigating after denying responsibility and liability?

PS.  I have cut down all my credit cards limit. Even ATM card limit also slashed for security reasons.

Tens Of Thousands Flee Dhaka Before Bangladesh COVID Lockdown

A sudden rise in the number of infections in the month of June forces the Bangladesh government to impose a strict lockdown, from Monday 28 June, to contain the spread of the Type D coronavirus. This has caused an exodus from the capital city Dhaka.

Tens of thousands of migrant workers started to flee Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka on Sunday, before the impending lockdown that will curtail most economic activities and confine people to their homes as coronavirus infections soar unpredictably.

Restrictions on activities and movement have been in place since mid-April as cases and deaths jumped. However, as they have not been enforced, people did adhere to the restrictions.

The infections decreased in May but started to rise again this month, with over 6,000 cases and more than 100 deaths daily.

The resurgence has prompted the government to toughen restrictions in stages from Monday, with economic activities to shut down by Thursday.

People will be ordered to stay at home and only emergency services and export-oriented factories can continue to operate.

The lockdown that is to start from July 1 will be strict, bringing a complete shutdown of the city, and it will be enforced by the military.

With public inter-city transportation already suspended since June 22, people have squeezed into rickshaws, hopped on to motorbikes and even hired ambulances to make their way to their villages.

Ferries have been operating on overdrive, with some running services 24 hours a day and cramming more than 1,000 passengers on each trip.

“We don’t want them to overcrowd the ferry. But they don’t listen. There is a mad rush of people everywhere," said an overwhelmed police officer.

A senior official at the state-run Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation said that at least 50,000 people had crossed the river by ferries on Sunday alone.

“We did not have any choice but to leave the city. During the lockdown, there is no work. And if we don’t work, how do we pay rent? So we packed up everything and are going back to our village,” said a 60 year old man who was waiting for the ferry.

Mohammad Masum, 30, a street vendor in Dhaka, said it was better to return home and “spend the time with family” than be confined in the capital.

Bangladesh has reported more than 880,000 infections and at least 14,000 deaths due to the coronavirus, but experts say the actual toll could be much higher due to rampant under-reporting, like in the neighbouring countries.

Can China breaks out of the first island chain?

Anyone asking this question today got to have his head check. I just read it somewhere that one pseudo western scholar did asked this question. My simple answer, the person asking this question is basically a D grade student or D grade scholar and did not know what he is thinking, or still living in his own world of make beliefs. A hillbilly of sort.

The American strategy at one time was to contain China within the first island chain, stretching from Japan down to Taiwan and the Philippines. The Americans then were the most powerful sea and air power to be able to do that. And China was still militarily very weak vis a vis the Americans, particularly in air and sea power. No Chinese ship can ever think of sailing further than the first island chain if the Americans did not want it to do so.

The whole western Pacific, all the seas surrounding China, were as good as an American lake. The American navy and air force were the undisputed and unchallenged masters of this lake. Chinese ships would be contained within the first island chain, China would be contained within the first island chain in the event of war or hostility. And the Americans could sail their aircraft carriers to the door of China any time they wished in a show of force, through the Taiwan Straits, and China could do nothing about it.

That was 20 years ago.  China took the humiliation in the show of force but did not sit idle.  They went on to develop a new military strategy called Anti Access, Area Denial Strategy,  to deny and stop the American warships from entering the area bounded by the first island chain and also the second island chain that extended further to Guam in the Pacific Ocean. For this strategy to be effective, China must develop weapons to threaten American warships in the area. China came out with DF21 and DF26 anti ship and anti aircraft carrier missiles with range of 2,000 km to 4,000 km from its shores. 

With these missiles and other complements of war, submarines, bombers, drones, warships etc etc, China today is in control of all the seas around its coast lines, extending 4,000 km outwards. Any warship within this range is a sitting duck and would be killed when war breaks out. China has turned its coastal seas, the Yellow Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea into a China lake.

The question of, can China breaks out of the first island chain, is moronic, obsolete today. A better question, would American ships be able to enter the China lake, ie the seas within the second island chain without being sunk by China. The so called American fantasy of freedom of navigation trips around the South China Sea is only possible in peace time, when China does not press the buttons. No thinking American commanders would dare to risk an aircraft carrier with 7,000 men and 100 aircraft or American warship in the China lake in times of war. They would stay far far away from the striking range of Chinese missiles for safety. The China lake would be for Chinese ships to patrol and guard against enemy ships.

Now, who's that asking if China can break out of the first island chain? Need to see a shrink and has his head checked. The military might of the Americans is still as before. But the military clout of China has grown beyond recognition and could keep the American ships out of the western Pacific Ocean, out of the China lake, no longer able to cause mischief in China's court yard, in China's lake.

Actually the range of Chinese missiles now encompass the Indian Ocean as well. Don't fool around with the Chinese missile and air defence system.

My Random Thoughts And Concerns For Singapore

The Indian minority, with a hidden majority as a reserve pool under the CECA weapon of mass invasion, is getting bolder and bolder by the days, until it has begun to exert pressure and create troubles for the leaders and other races in Singapore.

What makes the Indian minority become bolder and bolder? Probably because of the following:

1. The lop-sidered number of key and top posts being held by them. This is very unfair and unjustifiable.

2. The Law Ministry and Home Affairs Ministry being held by the same person makes him more powerful the the Prime Minister and the Judiciary. He can easily put the Prime Minister and his family under house arrest if he wish to. This is very worrisome.

3. The CECA Trojan Horse has entered Singapore 15 years ago. By now the hidden invaders have already reached the critical mass required to overcome, overwhelm and overthrow the existing balance of power because they control most of the key sectors of the economy, banking, finance, logistics, security and technology. This is very threatening.

4. By October this year, less than four months from now, Temasek Holdings will hand over command and control to another Indian figure. This move is very suspicious and worrisome, and therefore very unwise.

5. May be the GIC will be handed over to another Indian very soon? If so, this will be the ultimate blow to all our Reserves and our country.

6. It is very strange that the moment Workers' Party secretary-general had been taken over by an Indian, he has been given the title Leader of the Opposition with allowances raised, and given many other perks too. I wonder who was the one behind the scene to have advised the PM in this issue?

7. Why is our PM remaining strangely quiet nowadays and allowing a few other ministers to take the lead in certain important issues and so they have the opportunity to overshadow him or undermine his authority? This is very suspicious.

8. Things at the top are happening very strangely nowadays. Therefore, my very inquisitive mind can't help but has to ask the following questions:

1) Is our PM under any threat or blackmail?

2) Has our PM been compromised in anyway whatsoever? Or,

3. Was he advised by someone to wind down and take it easy, and let some others take the lead?

I hope everything is okay with our PM.

I also hope that Singapore leaders are wise enough to see through the veils and deceptions being put up by certain quarters in our society.

Keeping my fingers crossed that things will be fine after all.
