Is honesty a good thing? Not in Singapore any more

Survey: Singaporean students more honest than those from US, UK, Australia

Above survey is posted in theindependent.sg. Is this supposed to be a praise or a dig against Singaporeans? Though I agree with the finding, I shiver at the thought of it, at the silliness of Singaporeans for trying to be honest, for being brought up to be honest and throw into the deep blue sea to compete against the dishonest sharks and hyenas. 

Honesty was a good thing in the past. The govt under the first generation of leaders made it a point that all civil servants and politicians must be honest. This is the first judge of a person to be enlisted in the premier service and to become politicians, to become super talented politicians. If one is dishonest, out you go.

And it was easy then to find out if a Singaporean is honest or dishonest. Check with the teachers and the schools. Check with the people he mixed around, his neighbours and the neighbourhood. Singapore is such a small place and everyone knows everyone. There is no where to hide, not even your grandfather's past. all can be dug out when needed.

And the system worked then. Honesty is a must and nearly all Singaporeans are honest. And after many years of living inside a tiny bubble of honesty, the daft, oops, honest Singaporeans also think everyone in the whole world is like them, all honest Abel. They can never imagine that other people can be so dishonest. They cannot believe that foreigners coming to Singapore looking for jobs can present fake academic records, claiming certificates and degrees from fake universities. 

And because Singaporeans are so honest, all the fakes with their fake certificates and fake universities are happily hired, as their fake certificates and degrees are printed in genuine high quality paper, like gold, and all of these fake foreigners are hired to be the bosses of Singaporeans.

And the rest is history. Singaporeans are now mostly unemployed or underemployed, sacked by the fakes to protect themselves, so that no one is around to question them or to check on their fake certificates and degrees.  Today, many qualified Singaporeans with their real degrees from world best Singapore universities are jobless and have to drive taxis or deliver food to be gainfully employed.  Some of them now have to learn to fake, to be dishonest, to tell their employers that they did not have degrees or diplomas or they would be over qualified and would not get the jobs as drivers or security guards.

Honesty, honest people, competing with the fakes, the cheats, stand no chance. They would be outsmarted by the cheats. And the saddest part of it, when the cheats are caught, they simply got a smack on the wrist. Some could still be employed by the imbeciles even after being caught for cheating.

Maybe honesty is no longer value in Singapore. Only the daft Singaporeans continue to be honest and stupidly believing in honesty. Come on, go ahead and cheat in your exams and change the grades to all As. Or simply buy from degree mills printed in good quality paper. The employers love it. The employers would say this is smart, not dumb. If you can't cheat and ended up unemployed, blame yourself. The foreigners are so talented. Everyone armed with the best degrees from the best universities and with excellent grades and experience, from little villages from God knows where.

Honest Singaporeans would not stand a chance with their degrees that cannot be eaten.  Serve them right. Being honest is equal to being daft and being unemployed or becoming drivers and delivering food or checking people at entrance of buildings, food centres or shopping malls. If there is no Covid19, dunno what these daft Singaporeans would be doing.

Covid19 measures - Is Singapore becoming a police state?

 

SINGAPORE: Food and beverage establishments should conduct checks for proof of residence when groups larger than two people dine in, with such checks done through the patrons' NRIC or the Singpass app, said the authorities.

Children who do not have these forms of identification can be allowed entry based on a "declaration" of their place of residence.

The advisory was issued on Wednesday (Nov 10), the first day that fully vaccinated people from the same household can dine out together in groups of up to five.

Implementation of the rule was detailed in a joint advisory issued by Enterprise Singapore, the Housing and Development Board, the Singapore Food Agency, the Singapore Tourism Board and the Urban Redevelopment Authority....

"Strict enforcement actions will be taken against anyone who pretends to be from the same household as well as F&B establishments that do not implement the necessary checks," said the authorities.

Individuals will be fined while F&B establishments will be subject to immediate closures. The penalties will apply even for first-time offenders, they added....

"Emphatic toasting with food or drinks by workers and customers is also disallowed," said the authorities.   CNA

With these kinds of stupidity, how far is Singapore from becoming a police state? No they cannot tell the difference. They keep tightening the noose and never think that it can kill, like boiling the frog. Every little increment is nothing, like transport fares, only a few cents increase, no pain or not painful.

With the imbeciles in charge, anything goes.

Why Must This Be Happening To Singapore Prison Inmates? Who Is Responsible?

 

The Singapore Prison Service (SPS) proudly announced on Thursday (Nov 11) that more than 200 people in the prisons were infected with Covid-19.

It is very happy to add that the number included people across all prison facilities, including death row inmates and staff members, and that those infected were in different stages of recovery, with three being hospitalised.

SPS boasted that, as of Wednesday, the count comprised 169 inmates, 54 supervisees and nine staff members. Supervisees are inmates who are at the tail-end of their sentences working in the community in jobs such as those in the logistics, cleaning, and food and beverage sectors.

Boeing 737 Max Renamed 737-8 To Hookwink Customers/Passengers?

 


"In September this year, the CAAS said it had lifted the suspension on the 737 Max flying in and out of Singapore after evaluating design changes to the aircraft as well as its safety record over the past nine months and finding "no notable safety issues".


"On Tuesday, the airline said it had invested about S$230 million on the development, design and installation of "new industry-leading cabin products" for the 737-8."


SIA has only spent money (S$230 million) on the aircraft's cabin, not the aircraft's safety issues.

Neither does changing to name 737-Max to 737-8 enhance the safety of the aircraft. Such a move may confuse and mislead the customers into thinking and believing that its a new model of the 737 Series.

The main issue is that the overall design of the entire aircraft is faulty. Therefore, no matter what one does with the design of the interior of the aircraft, and how much time, money and efforts one has spent on the now proven-unsafe 737 Max, it does not remedy the main faulty features (manufacturer's faults) that have affected it's safety tremendously.

The CAAS has taken a great risk to announce that it has found "no notable safety issues". It would be prudent to make sure that the manufacturer (Boeing) declare that all the safety issues of the 737 Max have been solved and that the aircraft is safe to fly again.

Obviously, there are still safely issues regarding the design of the engines and fuel tanks, the design of the wings and the design of the aircraft's body. All these three safety issues have not been solved. All these three combined together makes the aircraft dangerously unsafe.

The talks about software problems are all red herrings, and seeing the trees but missed the wood.

The fact remains that the same safety issues that have caused the two crashes that killed all their passengers and crews on board, have not been solved yet. Why?

Simply because they cannot be solved!

As such, the 737 Max aircraft must be put out of operation/service and sent to the junk yard.

Please don't play with other people's lives.

As it is, Covid-19 has already claimed nearly a million lives. The least the world wants is to add more preventable deaths to the list of unnecessary casualties.

Covid-19 Singapore: Poor Performance Should Not Be Entitled To Any Annual Bonus

Japan, with a population of 125 million people, without counting the foreigners in the country, has been reporting average of less than 50 Covid-19 infections per day for the last 30 days.

On the other hand, Singapore, with a population of only 5.6 million, including foreigners, has been reporting an average of 3,000 Covid-19 infections per day for the last 30 days.

While Japan is a big country, Singapore is only a small city.

While Japan is run by leaders paid less than the mediocre SG$500,000 annually, Singapore is run by leaders who shamelessly and very loudly claimed themselves to be outstanding and demanding to be paid the world's highest and most obscene salaries of multiple $millions annually, plus bonuses sometimes many times more than their annual salaries.

From these facts, Singaporeans should have realised that they have been taken for a ride for a very long journey, for a very long time.

Singaporeans should now realise that they have duds, masquerading as outstanding talents, running their city state. Those duds don't even deserve 10% of their present exorbitantly obscene salaries.

On top of that, their poor performances should not entitle them any annual bonus at all.

May justice and fairness reign!
