If
Singapore had truly wanted to be neutral, not choosing any side between
China and USA, as repeatedly spoken by many Singapore diplomats, past
and present foreign ministers and the three prime ministers, then
Singapore leaders shouldn't have journeyed all the way to the USA and
Japan to publicly and purposely thrash China and the Chinese People in
front of the leaders of USA and the leaders of Japan, in order to carry
favour and score points. Unfortunately such events did take place, not
once but a few times.
Such behaviour was totally uncalled for,
unnecessarily antagonistic, lack of statesmanship, diplomatically
unacceptable and plain stupid,
Singapore leaders would do well
to remember that 75% of Singapore citizens are of Chinese origin. Most
of them take their Chinese heritage with pride and dignity. Most of them
still have ties and relatives in China. Most of them are doing business
in and with China and the Chinese People. Almost all of them, except
the few Bananas, still respect China as their fathers' and/or mothers'
original Homeland.
Singapore leaders should always be grateful
to the Chinese Majority who have voted them into power to enjoy the
status, wealth, position and prestige they now have. Without the Chinese
votes, Singapore leaders past and present would not be where they are
today.
Singapore leaders shouldn't take for granted that the
Chinese voters will always continue to support and vote for the present
ruling political party to enable them to continue to do what they are
doing and enjoying. The wind of change is blowing very strongly. If they
were to continue with their Anti-China and Anti-Chinese stance, they
may be in for a rude shock in time to come, both internally and
externally.
The neutrality of Singapore is vital for Singapore's
long-term survival. There is no two ways about it. Siding with the USA
on the one hand, while belittling, condemning, demonizing or thrashing
China on the other, is not neutrality. It is obviously outright taking
sides. Vice versa is also outright taking sides. Even primary school
pupils know this.
Therefore, if Singapore leaders have already
taken side with Western Powers, especially USA, and especially also with
Japan (the perennial Arch-enemy of China), then it is time to mend
their ways - attitude, behaviour and actions. This can take a very long
time but it has to start now.
Remember, the long-term survival of Singapore depends on her ability to maintain her neutrality.
ASEAN
was formed on the basis of Neutrality. As an active member of ASEAN,
Singapore must remember and actively uphold the principle of neutrality
at all times. Just paying lip service is hypocritical and deceptive, to
say the least.

The Neutrality Of Singapore Is Vital For Her Long-term Survival

Fashion houses profited from forced labour?
French magistrates have opened an inquiry into allegations that four fashion groups including Uniqlo and the owner of Zara profited from forced labour of the Uyghur minority in China, a judicial source said Thursday. AFP
What a joke. The French court inquiry about a few fashion houses profiting from alleged forced labour. How hypocritical can these evil white men be? France profited not only from forced labour but from massacring the natives of Africa when it invaded the continent. France was also involved in the slave trades. Who else were involved in the slave trades, many times more evil and cruel than forced labour? Heard of slavery, hunting and capturing African slaves in Africa? Britain was the biggest slave traders, and America the biggest beneficiary and the worst exploiters of African slaves. France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Holland, Belgium,etc etc, practically all the European powers were engaged in the slave trades.
Oh, my apologies. Slave trading and using slaves to work in the farms and factories and what else were not profiting from forced labours. It was profiting from slave labour. My humble apologies for not being able to tell the difference. USA, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Holland, Portugal, Belgium etc etc did not profit from forced labour. But they got free labour, and became very rich and powerful, free labour from the slaves.
Yes, yes, such nice and friendly and kind and compassionate and generous countries and people. Ok, go and investigate these companies on the alleged and fabricated charges of profiting from forced labour. There is no need to investigate countries profiting from slavery.
Ya?
There is another justification why slave labour should not be a crime. The slaves were subhumans and did not have any rights like human beans unlike the forced labour. Since the slaves were subhuman beans, so no need to bother, no need to investigate. Right?
COVID-19 Vaccines: "Benefits Outweigh The Known Risks" Sounds Like A Magical Concoction Of A Snake Oil Seller?
"The authority’s assessment is that the benefits of the vaccines continue to outweigh the known risks in a pandemic."
1.
Assessment is not conviction and belief. Assessment is just an analysis
based on available information and it is purely a mathematical
calculation. Nothing else. It is not based on considerations of human
sufferings, damages to human health and potential deaths, irrespective
of statistical percentage of damages occurred in a given population.
2.
To the vaccines producers, of course, it goes without saying, the
benefits outweigh the risks. The benefits to the vaccines producers are
huge monetary gains on a regular basis, without any risk.
3. The
risks are borne by the victims of the effects from the vaccines. The
vaccines producers do not and will not suffer any risk because they have
protected themselves against any liability and claims for compensation
by inclusion of a clause to absolve themselves of any responsibility and
liability for mishaps caused by the vaccines that they have produced
and sold.
4. To the government, of course, the benefits outweigh
the risks because the government does not suffer the risks. Anyone
taking the vaccination is made to sign a no-claims indemnity form to
absolve the government of any responsibility and liability from any
mishap, neglect or mistake.
5. The assessment is that the
"benefits outweigh the known risks". Pay special attention to the word
"KNOWN". It means the assessment has not considered the UNKNOWN but
potential, probable and possible risks. Therefore, the benefits may not
outweigh the potential, probable and possible risks. These are
long-term risks that only time will tell. At present, nobody is the
wiser. Not even the scientists who invented or created those vaccines,
because they have not tested the vaccines for long-term effects yet. So,
basically, the assessment by the government is an ostrich mentality
assessment of convenience, at best.
6. So, basically the phrase
"benefits outweigh the known risks in a pandemic" sounds more like a
magical concoction of a snake oil seller.
Think again.

PS. I am putting this up first as this is a current hot topic. Still have several pieces in the queue.

China has assume the role to defend the victims of white oppression and bullying
A BBC reporter asked China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi why China is supporting Argentina in claiming the return of the Falklands Islands. He said China is so far away and Falklands have nothing to do with China. China should mind its own business.
Wang Yi told him Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan are so far away from England and the US and have nothing to do with them. They should also mind their own business.
China has not only stood up but has declared that it would support the causes of oppressed and victimised countries and people against white supremacy and hegemony, bullying and oppression. China has identified 17 islands still under the control of the white colonialist and would support the cause for their return to the original natives of the islands. And this includes the return of the Ryukyu Islands.
In his speech on the centenary of the CCP, Xi Jinping said China would not be bullied by any country. Anyone trying to do so would be bashed. This is a warning to all the little dogs and cats, the cronies and lackeys of the evil American Empire, especially those in Asean, that they would be caned very harshly if they try.
China is now taking its rightful place as a super power and also the defender of the weak nations against white supremacists and hegemony. China would not only speak up, but would support and act on this commitment as the leader of the developing nations. China is willing and ready to commit military forces to the defend the oppressed countries of the world.
China's wolf warrior diplomacy is now not only defending China against the attacks by the West but also defending the rest of the world by the West. The West have been accusing China of aggressiveness when they were whacking China daily with all kinds of wild allegations and fake news. They did not know what is an aggressive China yet. Now they are going to see China standing up into their faces and poking into their eyes to protect the victims of the West.
The West think it is their right to oppress and suppress and bully the rest to the world. This is the past, no more. China, as a responsible leader of the world, would stand up for what is right and would defend the weak against the bulllies and gangsters. Now the West would know what is an aggressive and responsible China. They want China to play a bigger and more responsible role in world affairs. China is stepping into the plate.
From now on, China would not be the defensive party, taking the blows. China would be the initiator and would redress the injustice committed by the West against the countries and people of the world.
Welcome to a New World Order that not only the West can do the shouting and bullying, China would not allow that and would also be shouting back. There is now a level playing field and injustice and inequality of the past would have to cease. There would be a rule of law for all countries. No more lawlessness of the American and western hegemony.
COVID-19 Vaccination: The Experts Committee Gives Advise Only, YOU Are The Ones Who Make The Critical Decision And Shoulder The Ultimate Responsibility!
Why is the Singapore Experts Committee On
Vaccines recommending the still-doubtful experimental mRNA vaccines to
be injected to our young children, with only data given to them by the
vaccines producers and salespeople, without own research and analytical
data presented to the public in detail? Because the Experts Committee
gives advice only. And advice can be given by anyone, irrespective of
his background and real qualifications, irrespective of his wisdom and
sincerity, and irrespective of his political inclination and
self-interests.
The Experts Committee expects us to believe in
whatever it says just by repeating the words of the vaccines producers
or using the US CDC's words to substantiate its own points of view. This
looks like a joke, if anything.
The Experts Committee's
behaviour of late, using character assassination and ad hominem attacks
upon doctors who voiced their opinions and recommended prudence and
caution, not only tarnished its own image but also eroded our confidence
in its ability to provide proper scientific advice regarding
life-and-death matters, with regard to the new experimental mRNA
Vaccines.
In the final analysis, the Public must always bear in
mind that "Advice is still ADVICE ONLY", no matter who provides it,
whether it's from a real expert or from a charlatan. The final decision
and ultimate responsibility remain in the hands of the decision-maker/s,
that is YOU! If anything goes wrong, the advice-provider can quickly
turn around and rebut that he did not make the decision; YOU are the one
who made that decision.
Head they win, tail they also win! You get the drift?
