A self destructive conglomerate aka government

  This present Singapore government is a self-destructive conglomerate (like a business organisation) run by academics who have no clues on how to make a successful business deal.

As each year advances, you can see more and more flaws, mishaps and blunders appearing. When those became a trend, you know that the conglomerate is running on autopilot mode by remote controls. Why?

Because in the past, the old guards were holding their hands and walking them around, like going for a stroll in the botanic gardens. Things were so easy and rosy to them. Things worked like clockwork. All they had to do was press a button here and make a phone call there and all the running dogs and work horses would obey and ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After the old guards were gone, they
had already acquired the habit of autopilot modus operandi and continued to operate on autopilot, assuming things would be as easy and rosy. They forgot something very important.

They forgot that things and people worked like clockwork because the old guards had fought against all odds and worked very hard for the people, and earned the respect of the people. That's why people obeyed and trusted the old guards' instructions and directions. These young birdies, coming out with silver spoons in their mouths and golden plates served on their tables, without having to fight for their lives, think they can earn the respect of the people simply because they are from the privileged class, the elites, the natural aristocrats?

So, as time goes on, things started to look bad - mistakes, errors, blunders started to surface, bigger and bigger, serious and more serious....

Just look at the recent policies, starting from the birth of the highly controversial and stupid CECA agreement with India, all of them have not be thoroughly thought out and tested first before implementation. All of them have flaws that would cause long-term negative consequences affecting the people seriously. Why?

Answer: Because there are no good thinkers like Dr Goh Keng Swee who could think deeply, widely and far ahead of time. There are no good motivators like Lee Kuan Yew who could mobilize the whole country into a united front to tackle any critical life and death survival threat. None. Zilch. Why?

Answer: Because money cannot buy real talents. Money can attract many loyalists who are willing to go all out to please the Paymaster so that they can keep their jobs. That's all. That's what obscene monetary rewards have bought. Loyalists, not nationalists.

Nationalists rise out of the ashes like a Phoenix due to their passion, courage and beauty of heart and brain. They don't work for money. They work for the people, not themselves. They don't derive from spoilt brats with silver spoons and golden plates, nor with those who can be bought by money.

The Murderous Australian Military

 This also comes as international forces prepare to withdraw after two decades in Afghanistan.

"Warrior culture"

The investigations follow the release in November of a military inquiry report, which found "credible information" of potential "war crimes" committed by Australian troops, alleging they unlawfully killed 39 Afghan prisoners and civilians between 2005 and 2016.

Prepared by Australian Defence Force Inspector-General Paul Brereton after a four-year inquiry, the report describes a "warrior culture" embraced by some of the force. It alleges patrol commanders required junior soldiers to shoot a prisoner to achieve a first kill, and that troops planted weapons on slain Afghan civilians. It recommends criminal investigations into 23 incidents involving 19 individuals.

After the Australian Report, more and more Calls Grow For More Investigations Of Abuses In Afghanistan by all invading forces led by the US Aggressor.


"These findings allege the most serious breaches of military conduct and professional values," Australian Defence Force Chief Gen. Angus Campbell said in a public apology while presenting the report.

This has proved beyond any reasonable doubt that the Australian military is made up of people who do not respect any international law or even their own military law.

High concentration of same nationality in financial and professional institutions in Singapore

Ministry of Manpower announced last year that 47 companies with suspected discriminatory hiring practices have been placed on its Fair Consideration Framework (FCF) watchlist.

Of the 47 companies, 30 (64 per cent) are in the financial and professional services sectors. They include banks, fund management firms, management consulting companies, as well as firms that provide project management and engineering services.

MOM said that all 30 of the financial and professional services employers have a “high concentration of PMETs from single nationalities”.

In one financial institution in the fund management industry, almost three-quarters of their PMETs are of the same nationality and in another bank, almost two-thirds of the PMETs are also of the same nationality, MOM revealed. The Ministry, however, did not name the nationality in this financial institution. Correspondent.

MOM Minister talked about this like a matter of fact, as if it has nothing to do with the MOM. Who allowed these shitty things to happen? Did the MOM know about this before it happened? Could the MOM prevented these nasty things to happen? Who should take the blame and be kicked in the ass?

These things did not happen overnight. It built up over the years and no one knows what was happening or knew but let it happened, or did not care, non issue, or something that they have planned and allowed to happen? It happened naturally, could not be helped. Let's move on.

This is like letting a fire burns and then tell everyone the fire is burning as a matter of fact.

Telling bedtime stories to little children with no concern, no consequences, just a story?

Really beh ta han reading what had happened and nothing done about it and nothing going to be done about it. It is like... this the case, so what? What do you expect us to do or want us to do? This is it and Singaporeans just have to accept it. It is not MOM's fault at all, nobody's fault. Next please.

KNN. What do you think?

Truth of Kabul Airport Bombing That killed 13 US soldiers, 90 Afghans Revealed - Nearly 170 Afghans were killed, many were shot dead by US soldiers !

 The stunning truth behind Thursday's suicide bombings at Kabul airport that killed 13 US soldiers was revealed: around 170 Afghans died, many of those Afghans were shot dead by US soldiers.

More and more deaths were confirmed by local reports, but the number doesn't match the possible death toll that a suicide bombing could have caused. Moreover, many witnesses and families of the victims came forward to accuse the US military of shooting civilians that led to a large number of casualties. At last, the truth was gradually disclosed.

US troops at Kabul airport were in a panic after the sudden terrorist attacks. At that moment, everyone looked like a terrorist to them. This might be a reason they had indiscriminately pulled the trigger to kill. Yet the US military should at least tell the truth and should have made best efforts to prevent the indiscriminate killing of innocents due to personnel's psychological vulnerability in such a chaotic scenario. Apparently, such an attitude and efforts were missing. The US troops only care about their own safety regardless of the serious risks the locals might have to face. And the US military's orders show a tendency that they would rather get 1,000 innocent people killed than get one terrorist attacker missed.

This "accidental killings" of civilians can be argued as the epitome of most US military operations in Afghanistan and even in the Greater Middle East. No wonder former US president Donald Trump arbitrarily opposed the International Criminal Court in The Hague to try the case of possible war crimes by the US forces. He even sanctioned relevant personnel from the court. This is because Washington elites are more aware than anyone else how much blood of civilians from war-torn countries is on the hands of US troops they command.

Afghanistan - Good riddance to the evil warmongers and murderers of innocent women and children

(CNN)The last US military planes have left Afghanistan, Gen. Frank McKenzie, the commander of US Central Command, announced Monday at the Pentagon. The US departure marks the end of a fraught, chaotic and bloody exit from the United States' longest war.

"I'm here to announce the completion of our withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the end of the military mission to evacuate American citizens, third country nationals, and vulnerable Afghans," McKenzie told reporters. "The last C-17 lifted off from Hamid Karzai International Airport on August 30th, this afternoon, at 3:29 p.m. East Coast time, and the last manned aircraft is now clearing the airspace above Afghanistan."

"There's a lot of heartbreak associated with this departure," McKenzie said. "We did not get everybody out that we wanted to get out."...


Even in defeat the Americans still want to claim glory. The gangster Americans called it war like they were going to play football, for fun. It was not a war. It was murder, massacres of poor tribesmen that were hardly able to fight back against the most powerful military force in the world, equipped with the most sophisticated weaponry. It was invasion of a country by military force, forced occupation of a country to kill its people and destroy its land and everything on a fabricated lie of killing terrorists. You don't need 20 years and 200,000 soldiers to track and kill a few terrorist groups.

What is so heartbreaking about stopping the massacre of poor tribesmen with very little means to defend themselves and getting out, ending 20 years of war crimes, mindless killings and destroying their lives, their children and their homes?

Did the Americans feel any sense of guilt, feel sorry for the hundreds of thousands of Afghans they have killed or maimed for life, the children that lost their parents, the parents that lost their children, the millions of Afghans that did not have peace, not able to live a normal life, the children that have no childhood to think of, no play, no schools?

Get out of there and get out of every other country that you still have soldiers fighting wars of oppression and killing people and destroying homes. And stop gloating about how clever and professional you were in evacuating from Afghanistan, and starting more wars, you evil warmongers, you murderers of innocent women and children.

The lives of every human bean is important, not just Americans. If you love wars, just fight and kill among yourself within the homeland of USA. Let the rest of the world live in peace. God damn you, murderers!

To all Americans, if you do not want your sons and daughters to come back in a box or black plastic bag, if you do not want to flee in defeat, in shame, stop wars, stop inciting and starting wars, stop invading other countries, stop killing other people, stop destroying countries and the lives of their people.

It is so simple if you want to avoid all the tragedies that have befallen the families of Americans. No more unnecessary deaths of young American boys and girls. If you think you have the most powerful armed forces and weapons and can go around killing other people, be warned, some of you Americans would also be killed in the process. This is not like the days of killing Red Indians. Is this what Americans want?

Stop repeating these tragedies and making more tragedies for other people. Be a peaceful people, not terrorists and murderers. No country or terrorist group has killed a tiny fraction of people that the Americans, the world's number one terrorist nation, have killed. Do not called others as terrorists. Look into the mirror and you will see the world's number one terrorist in yourself. Your self delusion that you are a peaceful people and others are terrorists is disgusting and unbelieveable.
