COVID-19 Singapore: Are The Generals Of Any Help To Our Fight Against The Coronavirus?

 
To me, the generals are practically useless. These are my reasons why I said so:

1. They don't even realise that the Covid-19 Pandemic is a Virus War against Humanity, until more than one and a half years later, it took a non-military geberal Ong Ye Kung, to realise and said so - that the Pandemic "is like a war".

2. They didn't even have any tactical plan to start with. So, don't have to talk about stratrgic plans.

3. They didn't even organise the country for war. They just resorted to "monitoring closely" and than reacted, and most of the times, reacted too little too late.

4. Always waiting for hindsight. Leaders plan ahead, using their vision and wisdom, which they have none. Followers wait for hindsight and orders. Without hindsight and orders, they are lost; they simply do not know which direction to go. They simply cannot work.

5. They didn't lead the charge against the enemy (coronavirus) by example. They hid inside their ivory towers and pretended that they were all there for you, uttering: "No one will be left behind". But in reality, on the ground, many have been left in the wayside, hospitals and homes to suffer and to die.

6. They didn't have the will power, the spirit, the courage, the patience and the resolve to fight on until victory is achieved. Halfway on the march towards the foothills of the counterattack, they put up the white flag and simply surrendered to the Enemy's Special Forces, the Covid-19 Delta Variants.

7. They are only good in taking umbrage and giving orders, pushing their subordinates down the gutters, while they themselves grab the honor, prestige and rewards.

Such are the fast-tracked, incubated, inexperienced generals of papers, not of deeds, that we are having?

I hope I am absolutely wrong.

COVID-19 Singapore: Prolonged Entrenched Political Power Breeds Ills To Party And Society

 

A regime that has held power for far too long (more than 5 decades) is bound to become arrogant, cocky, over-confident and self-assured. Never made mistakes?

Over the past 20 months or so, we can clearly see that the Millionaires' Multi-Ministry Elephant Task Forced (Into Our Throats) is devoid of common sense and proper forward planning. Every policy, protocol and measure is reactionary, after-thoughts, based on hindsight instead of foresight.

When a group of highly educated and intelligent persons refused to use common sense, they resort to conjectures, theories, double-edged fork-tongue advice from non-experts masquerading as experts, fancy dreams and fantasies.

Outsiders can see through their blunders and mistakes but they themselves couldn't. This is the present state of deep shit affairs.

Moreover, with a ruling party filled with people who have always excelled in their academic results, and acquired top scholarships, never tasted failures nor downfalls, and never admit mistakes (one cannot learn and make corrections if one does not identify and admit mistakes first), how can they see or realise their own blunders and mistakes?

Furthermore, with the habitual and strong desire to hear only sweet music to their ears, and the frequent and incorrigible urge towards self-praise, there is very little hope that they will be able to hear or discern the repeated suggestions, recommendations and warnings given by the public in the various social media platforms.

However, that doesn't mean that we should give up and stop our unpaid, free, efforts to continue to alert them and warn them. This is our country and we are part of whether that happens to our country.

We are the affected party on the ground, at ground zero. They are at cloud 9, high above in their comfortable and grand six-stars ivory towers. Usually, the communications wave get lost in the wavelengths that travel from the bottom to the top because there exists too many layers of filters, and safety and security protections surrounding them.

Millionaires are afraid to die.

Millionaires with unfettered powers are only afraid of ghosts - the three ghosts of The Christmas Carol - of past, present and future, and nothing else.

Hope the three ghosts will visit them soon, to kick them in the ass and wake them up to carry out the long delayed necessary changes to themselves and to their relationship with society.


Early Merry Christmas!

Covid19 - Would Singapore become a mini India, a basket case?

 5 days in a row with more than 3,000 infected cases. Sat was the highest with 3,703 cases and 11 deaths in a day! Looking at this number it seems small compares to neighbouring countries with 8,000 to 10,000 cases. Having 3,000 cases daily are now normal. Without proper and systematic testing, with so many people just stay at home or in the dormitories, how many cases are there really?

India now has about 20,000 daily cases and soon would have no cases in a matter of days. But India has a population of 1.3b.

If we extrapolate this, how many cases would Singapore have if its population is 1.3b? India's worse case was 400,000 daily. At 3,500 daily cases, Singapore would have an equivalent of 800,000 daily cases!

The big question is when would Singapore become a basket case like India, when hospitals are fully filled and patients are all over the place? When that happens, given this trajectory, the whole world would shun Singapore.

At one time Singapore proudly went around selectively to open special travel corridors with countries with small numbers of infection. Now this is not going to happen. Though many are deceived by the nominal 3,500 daily cases, and still some are talking about vaccinated travel lanes with Singapore, the counterparts are likely from countries that have lost control of the virus.

Do not be surprised that this could be only temporary as the cases could explode and all countries would be issuing travel warnings to avoid Singapore.

Let's pray that the millionaire magicians are right or Singapore would be a mini India with more cases per million, could be the highest in the world.

Would this become a norm, that Singaporeans are not welcome?

 

This news could be a rude warning of more to come if the infection rate in Singapore continues to grow. The MTF is planning and thinking that the virus infection would be within their expectation and manageable and would not run wild, reach a reasonable and acceptable level to other countries. If this is not the case, Singapore would be in for deep trouble. Instead of opening up the economy and receiving more visitors, no one would come except for the lepers and desperadoes.Now it is up to the virus and the unseen hands.

Trump - In praise of China, and telling the Americans how shitty America is today

 Trump gave a mid-term campaign speech for the next presidential election yesterday, which is worth watching by every Chinese!

[Google translation; reporter’s text in Chinese below] (words in inverted commas and bold are mine).

Trump's presidential campaign speech yesterday was as follows:
The United States has promoted democracy(dictatorship and regime change) around the world for two decades. What have we gained? In the past two decades, we have regarded ourselves as international police and democracy fighters and have vigorously promoted democracy. (or a rogue nation inciting wars and instability?)

With guns and US dollars, we Americans have successively defeated(murdered) Saddam in Iraq, Gaddafi in Libya, Syria, Egypt, Ukraine, Turkey, and Greece within two decades. 

May I ask what we Americans got.(hate) Our businessmen dare not go to the Middle East and Africa to do business, dare not play the national flag in the Brazil Olympics, and in the oil producing areas of the Middle East, as long as they admit that they are Americans, it is a direct act of death. (murderers of innocent women and children would be killed for sure) Offended Putin, offended the European Union, offended China. (white savage cannot change their offensive behaviour) 

We, the United States, which controls high technology, can't do anything with China in international trade, so we have to abandon the WTO and engage in TPP. Please see what China has gained in the past two decades. Not only did they take away our first place in the WTO, they also bought 80% of the world’s steel, 40% of oil and gas, 70% of soybeans, and 80% of copper. And gold, bought Ukrainian aircraft carriers, Israeli missiles, German machine tools and French wine. He bought it all in U.S. dollars. (because Americans printed them freely) 

They bought our food, sold us spicy noodles and instant noodles, bought our steel, and sold us bikini underwear. Bought our oil and sold us toys. This is not the main thing. China’s internationalization of the renminbi directly uses US dollars as a guarantee. Even if the renminbi is worthless, it can be exchanged for US dollars immediately. 

Everyone knows that they have a lot of US dollars, more than us. Damn, Africa was taken away by them, this is our end. 

I absolutely do not support Obama's TPP. I want to make the Democratic Party's Obama and Hillary the biggest fools in American history. I will be your next president. Please support me. We want to be glorious and independent. We want to live a good life with whomever has the money to do business. 

In the past two decades, the suicide rate in rural China has dropped by 90%, the illiteracy rate has dropped to less than 10%, and life expectancy has increased by more than 10 years. Private cars have gone from zero to national traffic jams. High-speed rail has accounted for 70% of the world and soon 500,000 people cities would have high speed rail links. Every city has high-speed rail links, highways from nothing to more than two thousand counties, the world’s longest bridge, the tallest bridge, and the most difficult bridge. 

 New York, which is about to catch up with us, will have to be divorced and snatched. The Chinese are anxious if they don’t travel to any country. If the Chinese don’t buy, the world’s iron ore and oil will plummet. What’s more annoying is that there are basically no terrorist activities that dare to carry out in China.(not even American terrorists) ...

The United States has become a hopeless country living on a huge dollar bubble... Vote for me, only I can save this terrible United States!

������
Even the President of the United States treats China this way. Why do we not love our motherland? Chinese people, unite, fight for the rejuvenation of China, and build the steel great wall of the motherland together. ////Repost it to your friends - Chinese people must repost it! Thank you Trump for advertising us in the world for free.

Above was posted by Virgo as a comment. This is the most honest speech from this mafia boss of the USA, an admission that America has gone down the gutters and surpassed by China. 

Trump promised if he is reelected, he would make America worst, and become the laughing stock of the world, and add the title of the world's number one gangster to being the world's number one terrorist country.

CPF is my money, we need good jobs - Angry Ah Lian let it all out

 

Angry Ah Lian blasting the govt for not returning the people's saving in the CPF and bringing in foreigners to replace PMETs, causing many Singaporeans to lose their jobs to foreigners.

How many angry Ah Lians and Ah Bengs, Alis and Muthus are out there feeling the pain of being unemployed or underemployed?

How many uncles and aunties are there crying for their CPF money?

Singapore really so rich, so much reserves but have to hold on to the people's life savings and creating all kinds of schemes to suck away this money?

Any moral issues on keeping the people's life savings from them? Think sure no legal or human rights issues as the law fraternity did not say anything.

What do you think?
