Animal Farm - The workers have had enough, their voices of despair are ignored

Below is another article screaming out from the lungs of angry Singaporeans, Singaporeans that refused to be pushed and dumped into the sea by the selfish ungratefuls that are paying themselves millions and telling the Singaporeans 4 legs are good, 2 legs are better. How many more times must this be repeated before the people chase the pigs out of the Animal Farm, from their luxurious lifestyle and humongous pay, feeding, cheating and exploiting the poor Singaporean workers? Be good, work hard, tighten your belts, be Grab drivers, be cleaners....times  are bad, we need foreign talents from shitty third world universities to help you upgrade. We also need to raise fares, raise taxes, increase fees... Be thankful, be grateful and know your place.

The below article was posted in the TRE by a Pat Low.  

The purpose of my narration is this. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THERE ARE LOTS OF JOBS THAT SINGAPOREANS CANNOT HANDLE, THEY ARE LYING.

Our CECA policy will hollow out the Singapore talent base. Today, a lot of the C-suites are gone. The CEO, COO, CFO, CIO etc. Without its lieutenants, captains, sargeant majors and regimental majors, etc, an army cannot function. We have actually gone down the rabbit hole. Supervisory and middle line managers are also getting displaced. If this situation is not reversed soon, irreparable damage will be done to the country.

WHEN THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THERE ARE LOTS OF JOBS THAT SINGAPOREANS CANNOT HANDLE, THEY ARE LYING. I can't stress this enough. When a small country has only a few universities and which are high in world rankings, and the government set policies that favour graduates from a country whose universities are hardly ranked, policy makers need to have their brains examined.

We should stop using the term FOREIGN TALENT. This is one of the government's methodology to normalise the policy. It drills into your brains. They are talents, you are idiots. Granted foreign companies that set up base here want to bring in a pool of their specialists. These are the expertise in their particular fields. And what we want to welcome are the deal makers, the visionaires, the risk takers, those with high networks in high places, the knowledge drivers in their field, such as those in the cutting edge technologies. We understand this, and support them as host country, we want them to succeed just as much.

Under CECA arrangement, we all know there has been an invasion of PMEs from India. The government's argument that these are FTs are blatant lies. A simple check at Linkedin is all it takes to call out the government. Why do we need foreign admin managers, facility managers, HR managers, etc. I won't be surprised that companies here will be advised to ban their foreign Indian employees from registering with Linkedin. Information suppression is a new old-fashioned government control protocol.

If hollowing out Singapore talent is a dangerous path, why are'nt Singaporean elites calling this out? Where is the NTUC chief? Where are our industry leaders? Where are the Kweks, the Ongs, the Jumaboys? The business class are sleeping with the governing elites to enrich at the expense of a depressed wage market forced by the huge supply of foreign Indian PMEs. Not a single soul has stood up to say "Singaporeans are suffering. Singaporeans helped us to make our billions. It's time we stand up with Singaporeans, never mind that higher wages mean we make a little less."

Listening to Minister Ong say in parliament recently, that Singapore's success created it's own problem, made me puke. In his scholastic view, many companies locate here, we have high employment, but there is not enough Singaporeans. CECA helped alleviate the problem. The reality is the government policy helped companies lower cost on the backs of cheaper South Asians and at the expense of Singaporeans. Their message to attract FDIs is come here, we have a cheap labour force. 15 long years of the easy way out of building GDP on depressed wages have made it impossible for policy makers to realise that companies chose to base in Singapore not for the low wage advantage. For if that were so, there are a hundred much cheaper other countries they can relocate to.

!st gen leadership told us we Singaporeans are valuable and trusted. Rolled up your sleeves, get educated, we can make it together. 3rd gen leaders are telling us we are idiots, be good and either work under 3rd world supervisors, or go and be a graduate Grab driver.

Why the West headed by the U.S. is picking on China and the Chinese people.

    It is naive for the West headed by the United States to think they can revisit the Opium War era 'Gun Boat on China again with impunity.

  In the last over ten years from about 2010, the West headed by US has been very hostile to China and the Chinese people. The US hostilities towards China accelerated in 2015 and picked up momentum during dotard Trump's presidency and continues now even more viciously into Joe Biden's administration.  They are behaving like savage wild dogs gnashing  their teeth at China, demonizing China endlessly with wild fabricated accusations and carrying out various extreme provocations from sanctions, trade tariffs, high tech blockades and conducting dangerous provocative naval and aerial surveillance very close to Chinese shores and islands. Do they stupidly think they can revisit the 'Gun Boat Policy" on China again with impunity. Have they become comatose and gone berserk with insanity.  They are trying to play fire with the Dragon not knowing this time round if they try to trivialise with China they will be badly burnt and destroyed.    

  From the 1830s to 1950s when China was weak and poor the West including the United States look down upon China and the Chinese people, describing the Chinese people in the most derogatory terms, associating Chinese with the dogs and claiming that the Chinese are subhuman incapable of any scientific and technological progress. That's an outright arrogant besmirching and demonizing of the Chinese people. Time will show they will have to swallow the insulting things they said about the Chinese people.

It is important to point out that before the 1830s and before the evil bellicose white people came to China, the Chinese people and and nation was a living example of richness and gloriousness with rich scientific background. For thousands of years China's civilization and scientific and technological prowess radiates throughout the world. ( NB: For details of the richness of Chinese ancient science and technology please read Professor Joseph Needham's work on the subject as he had written volumes of books on ancient Chinese science and technology; and had once said, "All modern science and technology has its basic foundation in China." In passing I would just like to mention the European Renaissance in the Middle Age was kindled or took place because the Europeans were stirred up and aroused by the descriptions of the wonders of China by Marco Polo as well as Chinese scientific works brought to Europe by the Mongols and the Arabs.  The Europeans were all fired up and started to  learn in earnest a lot of Chinese science and technology indirectly from the Mongols and the Arabs who once controlled the vast land mass from China to Europe. Before the Renaissance the European barbaric tribes were still living in the Dark Ages of ignorance when they were still wild and savage and warlike and where the many European tribes were always engaged in fighting for dominance.

China had always been attacked by the barbarian hordes, the nomadic Hsiung Nu, Mongol and Turkish tribes from the landmass in the north and west of China. But the new European barbarians came to attack China from the sea in which the Chinese had never expected. Moreover in the early 19th century when the British started a war on China to force China to open up for opium trade China lost the war and all subsequent wars imposed by the European countries. China lost all the wars because the Europeans had more powerful guns and cannons which outranged the Chinese ones. Basically the Chinese had always used their guns and cannons in religious ceremonies to frighten ghosts and spirits and not for killings in war. So the Chinese were too complacent and had never make any improvement to their guns and cannons. Thus the Europeans who learnt how to make guns and cannons from the Mongols were able to improve their power and range.

From the 1830s to 1940s whenever China lost the wars to the invading Europeans, China was forced to pay huge war indemnities of hundreds of millions of Chinese silver dollars to each and every of the invading European country which later were to include the U.S. and Japan. It was these huge war indemnities that impoverished China for over a hundred years. China was still paying the war indemnities until the establishment of the People's Republic of China on October 1st 1949, when Chairman Mao stopped the payment, considering it illegal and unwarranted.

China is now again at the cross roads of danger. With over hundred years of shame and humiliation suffering from Western and Japanese aggression still strongly embedded in Chinese minds, the West headed by the United States still think fit of trying to tear the Chinese down again. China and the Chinese people have yet to take revenge on the past atrocities, great destructions and lost of her lands that China sufferred at their hands and here they are again threatening China and the Chinese people with hostilities and endless hostile provocations. But surely they know they are facing a different China now. Today's China is like the mighty mythical Dragon spouting with intense fire ready to destroy all trouble makers and aggressors. But one thing is certain China and the Chinese people will never be bullied and trampled again. We Chinese are a peaceful people. We believe in helping all other poor countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America to achieve all round  success in a win win situation for our common economic prosperity.

Then what are the reasons for the West wanting at this juncture to pick a fight with the new indomitable Dragon. Below is an article forwarded to me via WhatsAPP, an article written by an American professor who shares with the world an inkling into the illogical insane minds of the West headed by the United States who are bent on warmongering to achieve their objective of world domination and hegemony. The United States is picking on China as an enemy because China is a stumbling block to its diabolical objective for world domination and hegemony.

Professor Dennis Etler : American political analyst who holds a doctorate in anthropology from the university of California, Berkeley. 

The article :        As I See It.                                                                                                                             ---------------------------------

     "Why is it the West is so preoccupied with China? The usual answer is that China's economic growth is challenging Western global hegemony which has held sway for at least 250 years. The Chinese military has also reached parity with that of the West, so it is no longer subject to Western intimidation and bullying. All that is true and reason for the West to want to savage China and portray it as the root of all evil.

But there is one other consideration that must be taken into account. It is not only China's economic prowess and military might that frightens the West, it is also China's success as a nation versus the West failure.

Moreover, China has forged a society in which there is harmony between its different ethnicities in contrast to the systemic racism that characterizes Western society.

Western ruling eliites and their media mouthpieces do not want to acknowledge the fact that China has eliminated extreme poverty while more and more of their own people descend into poverty. They do not want to admit that China has constructed a 21st century infrastructure while they lag far behind. They do not want to confront the fact that the Chinese people overwhelmingly support their government while people in the West have lost confidence in their own, they do not want to accept that China beat COVID-19 while they haven't, and finally they are loathe to accept the fact that a non-white nation has outperformed them and will continue to do so into the forseeable future.

In order to deflect attention away from these truths the West has concocted a series of lies and slanders that allow them to deny reality. Instead of poverty alleviation the West imagines "genocide." Instead of the advances in HSR, EVs, alt-energy and e-commerce they focus on "IP theft", instead of a socioeconomic system that serves the people, they accused China of forced labor and forced sterilizations. Instead of seeing China as defending its sovereignty in the South China Sea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, it's called an aggressor.

All the China-bashing serves multiple purposes but one of the main reasons is to make sure that people in the West do not get to hear nor see what the real China is all about because if they did they may get ideas that the Western elites don't want them to have, such as socialism works for the betterment of the 99% while capitalism works primarily to enrich the 1% elites."

End Of Article.

Professor Dennis Etler and many of his other American professors like Jeffrey Sachs, Richard Wolffe and Christopher Black are peace loving people who denounce wars and Western aggressions. They are realists and pragmatists who preach for world peace and harmony of all people on this earthly world. We all have a duty and responsibility to spread their goodwill around. For a start after reading Professor Dennis Etler's article please forward it to as many friends and relatives as possible wherever they may be since it is from the eyes of a prominent American professor.

Covid19 - Angry Singaporean standing up to discrimination on vaccination

 “Exceptionally desperate to boost inoculation rates so it could unabashedly pimp Singapore once more to all and sundry, this PAP government has resorted to an overtly underhanded strategy of discrimination based on vaccine status. Divide and conquer through engendering infighting amongst citizens, brilliant yet despicable. Well, I got news for you dear monkeys in white, your agenda shall fail miserably – because we have since realized you never cared whether we live or die; you would do whatever it takes just to flourish atop our bones.

When another of your inexplicably hurried, vacillating decisions to lift dining restrictions comes into effect next Tuesday, I shall take the first step of refusing to set foot inside restaurants. Rest assured I am not alone, for more than a dozen of my friends have pledged to do the same. And when word spreads, I have utmost faith many will follow suit to unequivocably demonstrate the fallibility of your judgement call.”
 

– Blue Blooded Specimen

This comment is copied from All Singaporean Stuff. The discrimination of the unvaccinated has reached a point of persecution when they are not allowed to return to work. This seems like a western discrimination policy on the use of vaccines, one for profit, more boosters when all the evidence is saying the western vaccines are not doing as they claimed, and the other not to use Chinese vaccines while they cornered the market.

If the policy of vaccination is fair and important, then all WHO vaccines must be treated equally. The West is trying to monopolise the vaccine market by muscling their allies and preventing them from using other vaccines that are just as effective if not more effective. It has been reported that the western vaccine manufacturers are making hundred of billions and would continue to make more by pushing their vaccines as boosters and even to the children.

This is another form of western colonisation and exploitation on the use of vaccines. 

Why is Singapore going head long with the western narrative and use of western vaccines and discriminating against the unvaccinated when the vaccinated are more dangerous as silent and super spreaders? The unvaccinated may protest, but this western scheme of compulsory vaccination would succeed when more are being forced by govt regulations to be vaccinated. The only time when this policy of bullying and discriminating against the unvaccinated would look silly would be when we reached near 100 per cent vaccinated and the infection and death rates soar and go out of control, confirming the uselessness of the vaccines. By then there would be no unvaxed left to be blamed for their compulsory stupidity and the fake vaccines.

Then the critics of this vaccination myth would have the last laugh at the morons and the imbeciles.

PS.

BUDAPEST: Coronavirus infections are hitting record levels in many countries across Europe as winter takes hold, prompting a call for action from the World Health Organization (WHO) which described the new wave as a "grave concern".

Soaring numbers of cases, especially in eastern Europe, have prompted debate on whether to reintroduce curbs on movement before the Christmas holiday season and on how to persuade more people to get vaccinated. CNA

Covid-19 is surging in Ireland where 99.7 percent are Fully Vaccinated…from an article in TRE

The Pathetic And Tragic State Of Singapore Voters

First they came for the Healthcare workers, but I was not a Healthcare worker, so I did not speak out.

Then they came for the Frontline and Essential workers, but I was neither, so I did not speak out.

Then they came for the Seniors and Oldies, but I was neither old nor a senior citizen, so I did not speak out.

And when they came for me, the Minority group of Unvaccinated, the Majority of the Vaccinated people refused to speak out for me.

Ask yourself, you belong to which group of "I" and who did you voted?

Singaporeans are basically kiasu and kiasi. Such a spineless people cannot stand when there is an invasion by another country. This has already been demonstrated by the CECA invasions over the last 15 years.

Even the Opposition, Workers' Party, is starting to tow the line conscientiously and religiously.

What hope is there, from here forward?

GST to pay for high medical cost

Gay: Sir, any chance that the GST increase be postponed since the people will be tightening their belt?

Heng, feeling indignant: The GST increase is to address rising health care cost due to an ageing population. We can spend, take on debt, and make our future generations pay for it. Is that fair?

Gay, stonewalled by such a high horsey response, tries another tack.

Gay: Sir, seems like the people will be paying to get us out of this hole. I understand we have a huge reserve, can’t we use that to tie us over?

Heng: I don’t foresee the need for an extra-ordinary budget.

So, there you have it. We are in safe hands.

Foong Swee Fong

 

Above is a quote from an article by Foong Swee Fong on why GST must be raised. Not sure if the question and answer narrative is real of just a satire. But it is not far from the truth as far as the govt's position on the need to raise GST to cover the rising cost of oldies needing more medical services and govt needing to pay or subsidise the rising medical cost.

Other than raising GST, it was suggested that the reserves be drawn down, of course not everything, but a limited sum that would not bankrupt the reserves. The answer is still no.

By the way, what is causing the medical cost to go up? Who is causing the medical cost to go up? If the rich want to have the best medical facilities and services, they can opt to go to private hospitals and pay for them.  For the general public, many cannot afford the luxury or want or need the luxury. They just need basic medical facilities and services, no need for 5 star hotel quality of care and services.

If only basic and necessary facilities and services are provided, why should medical cost be going up, up and up? And in terms of services, many of the medical stuff are from third world countries and their salaries are already a saving in cost. There is no need to pay for 5 star services to be served by third world staff.

Is the govt unable to control the rising cost in govt hospitals? Oh, oh, they are run like private hospitals, subject to supply and demand and commercial pricing....I see. The govt is hapless and cannot do anything, just like rising cost of living, rising prices of HDB, rising fees and charges.

 I rest my case. Cannot win an argument against the most talented millionaires aka the govt.

How much have been collected from the compulsory CPF Medical Insurance Schemes and how much have been paid out? Net loss or net gain? Or they are collecting now, from the people now, to pay for the future needs of the future generation?

Fuel prices are up, transport fares are up, what else is up in a crisis when many people are losing their jobs, businesses are closing downs, our nations of shopkeepers losing money everyday, our national treasure, the hawkers, not scientists or highly skilled professions, are also going broke. 

What does this tell of the financial health of the country, the national reserves? The billions they are paying the foreigners to manage our funds, what was the return, or what was the loss? Providing jobs to make foreigners millionaires using our reserves, how much did the millionaire foreigners bring in from their expertise, more or less than what we paid them?

If the return is so good, why the need to keep on raising fares and taxes in a time like this?
