Opportunities in low skilled industries for Singaporeans

Peh mentioned that this was, in fact, his first job out of university – he had graduated from the Singapore Institute of Management – Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (SIM-RMIT) with a degree in business management.

So, what got a millennial into the recycling industry, which is typically dominated by older folks?

“I couldn’t get employed for a year, so my dad was like, 'You know what? You should help out at the store', and that’s how I got started.”

He eventually learned that the skills and know-how he obtained at university were also helpful in the recycling industry.

That’s why he left his father’s company Ace Recycle Trading to set up his own, Earth Recycling Services, in January of this year. ...

“There was a lot of denial before I reached the stage of acceptance because I had big dreams, like how everyone talked about working in an office and climbing the corporate ladder.

“After a while, I eased into the lifestyle, and I do like the freedom of working around the family business. It also makes it easier to get days off!” CNA

The above is a success story of a Singaporean that refused to give up after finding out that his SIM-RMIT could not land him a job in Singapore. He is lucky that his father is in the garang guni trade and could give him a leg up to start his own business in recycling.

Singaporeans, especially PMETs that are unemployed, underemployed or unemployable, must find their own niche in the market filled with highly skilled foreigners to the tune of at least 2m of them here. Singaporeans that found their degrees or skills or experience unable to match the highly skilled third world talents from third world class universities can always find work in less competitive and lower skilled industries like garang guni aka recycling industries or in many other local industries like hawking, driving cabs and food delivery or even dish washing and table cleaning. They can become entrepreneurs in these industries by starting their own business and being their own bosses, owning dishwashing companies, car renting companies, home cooking companies etc etc.

There is a saying, be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. Your degrees would make you stand up in the garang guni recycling industry, in the food delivery industry, in car renting industry, in hawking industry, or as a cab driver. Print a card and stick to the back seat of your car saying I am a graduate driver, with pride. Be your own boss.

Do not lose your confidence. The competition is very fierce with more and more top talents being allowed in to compete with the citizens. I don't like the word locals or residents as they diminished the importance of citizenship and the sacrifices our men and families contributed to NS and still have to compete with foreigners not having to do NS and can join politics and become national leaders.

What do you think? The future of Singaporeans is very bright. I will suggest they give up their studies and don't waste money and time getting degrees as they would not be able to compete with the best in the world, all 7b of them, plus the fakes.  Can start doing business in the teens, set up small companies and be your own boss. Can start by going door to door selling 'kalipok' or nasi lemak. No need to send application letters and be interviewed and abused by foreigners in the job interviews and be told they are not good enough compare to the third world degree holders and the fake degree holders.

The key to success for Singaporeans in Singapore is the word 'acceptance'. No need to get angry and unhappy with what is happening. Be happy, .... relac, relac.

PS. Hope these low skilled industries are protected and foreigners, residents/locals that are not citizens are banned from joining these industries. Make these industries a privilege for Singaporeans that have done NS. Citizenship has privileges. Doing NS has privileges.

What it means to be friends of China or USA

China is directly appealing to the interests of Pacific Island countries with a view to advancing their economic status, providing infrastructure and export markets. The US, Australia, and co. are not. In fact, their only purpose in seeking to re-engage these countries is solely to counter China and advance their ideological goals, as illustrated by VP Harris brandishing the words ‘bad actors’ – but there is little evidence that the Pacific Island countries see China as one. Beijing pledges to respect their national sovereignty, which is why the security deal with the Solomon Islands was, much to the chagrin of Washington and Canberra, a popular arrangement which the Solomons see as an opportunity to wean themselves off their own longstanding dependency on Australia and the Commonwealth. China is not, contrary to how the media portrays it, ‘forcing itself’ on the Pacific, but is being welcomed, yet quite clearly the other side is attempting to force the island nations to choose, and then wondering why their diplomatic overtures are being ignored.  RT

The above is from an article in RT titled 'The US wants to use China's neighbors against it – will the plan succeed?' By now every country in the world would have no illusion about what relations with China or the US mean. The above statement explains it simply about the intent and purpose of China and the US.

Relations with China is all about economic development, about infrastructure building for the good of the respective countries and their people. When China comes knocking at the door, it is like a salesman offering his goods and services to the consumers and the consumers could freely decide what they want and what is best for them. There is no political or military pressure to be friends or enemies of anyone. It is a simple cordial relationship for the benefits of both China and the respective countries. 

On the other hand, when the Americans come a calling, it is about taking sides, to be enemies of China or Russia. It is about political and military coercion, be with us or against us. Join our gangs of international mafia to isolate and confront China, be enemies of China. Countries would be forced to make a choice to take sides or be sanctioned and treated as enemies. And after taking sides, they would be offered military weapons in the name of their defence against China, now called their enemy and a threat to them if they blindly believe the American hostile narrative.

The Americans are only interested in confrontation, military, economic and political confrontation, and in selling arms and weapons, not about trade, not about economic development, not about building infrastructures for the countries.

The choice is clear to every country. What do they want? War, confrontation and wasting money quarrelling and living under threats, imaginary threats from China and real threat from the Americans, or seeking to cooperate with China in trade, in economic development, in the rebuilding of their countries for the benefits of their people? No need to buy arms against any imaginary or fabricated threats. No need to take sides, can be free to be friends with every country in the world.

Which is evil, which is the trouble maker, the warmonger, are all out there for the world to see. All the fabricated threats, propaganda, lies are so wild, callous and unimaginative that no one can be deceived or conned to believe in them. This is the 21st Century and the rest of the world is enlightened and well informed. They know what is going on and what is real or fake, what is good for them and what is bad for them.

The rest of the world have been forced to take sides by the Americans and the West, and many have chosen for the good of their countries and people, to live freely, to develop and live better in peace, not in wars and constant fear of threats and instability.

PS. Mr Widodo or Jokowi, as the president is popularly known, has expressed the hope that the visit would strengthen the bilateral ties and cooperation between the two countries.

“China is Indonesia's comprehensive strategic partner. We must fill this partnership with cooperation that is beneficial for our country, and at the same time for the region and the world," said Jokowi.

Japanese Pride Of Pearl Harbour Attack

"Even today, the attack on Pearl Harbor is still regarded as a "national humiliation" by many Americans. On December 7 last year, the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, nearly 100 Japanese right-wing lawmakers visited Yasukuni Shrine, which enshrines some of Japan's infamous Class-A war criminals of World War II. The signal sent is almost self-evident. But Washington, which is extremely sensitive and narrow-minded towards China, has shown connivance for Japan's provocative behavior. The impulse of the Japanese right-wing forces to break through the post-WWII system has been unstoppable, and this is one of the biggest risks facing the Asia-Pacific. How serious are the consequences of finding the wrong enemy? History has given us inspirations and lessons too many times."

The above passage was taken from the Global Times.

On the 80th Anniversary of the Attack On Pearl Harbour, nearly 100 right-wing Japanese Lawmakers visited the Yasukuni Shrine in direct defiance to the Americans sentiment, if any. In fact, this has been going on for the last 8 decades.

And what did the Americans do? Sweet nothing. They condoned the act! There was no protests from the Americans. Everything seemed Okay!

The message that the Japanese have sent to the Americans is very clear. This particular Pearl Harbour attack was an overwhelming success of the Japanese. A successful sneak attack that even today the Americans still feel humiliated. There is no place to hide their faces. How can a super power like the Evil USA be weakened to such an extent? How can the the Evil USA be humiliated so completely and totally?

And to the Japanese, this is their showcase, their pride!

Would they, the Japanese, do it again? Another Pearl Harbour sneak attack? Perhaps another harbour? Your guess is as good as mine.

Why the pyramids were still in Egypt?

 

Africans sue UK over colonial-era abuses
Kenyans forced off their lands under British colonial rule have lodged a case with a top European court.

The British Museum is a testament of stolen artefacts and loots from the colonised countries. They would have put the pyramids in the museum if they could move it to London.  Stealing all the treasures from the colonies is just their normal.  Oops, cannot say stealing. Colonial masters never steal. They just took.  Everything belonged to them.

The Brits are so shameless to exhibit the stolen items as theirs. Oops. oops, not stolen items. Their colonial rules of law said when the invaded and take control of your land, everything belonged to them. Colonialism is not a crime. The white men said so.

In the context of today, no one is going to give respect to the thieves of colonised nations.  They called themselves Empires, colonial masters but basically gangsters, raiders, thieves and murderers.
