Newater promotion during National Day

 

This photo of the audience taking a swig from their bottles of NEWater at Singapore's National Day Parade on Aug 9, 2002 is on display at the NEWater Visitor Centre.

 

Cheering to Singapore's success and its future, more than 60,000 people raised their bottles before taking a swig of the water, which is recycled from used supplies after going through a comprehensive cleaning process.

At home, thousands of viewers took in the scenes as they watched the parade on their television sets.

It was a powerful image and one that would be forever etched in the minds of those who worked tirelessly for years to realise Singapore's ambition of having a sustainable source of water.

But despite the inspiring scenes, the only thing Mr Harry Seah could think about at that moment was how terribly wrong things could go.

"We could not even afford a single mistake because it was all about perception and it was on the national stage," said Mr Seah, who led the NEWater project. CNA

The above is reported in CNA. The team of engineers worked very hard and tirelessly to come out with this Newater to protect Singapore from water shortages and threats of our water being shut off. Thanks to their good work, we have now a National Water in the Newater. They might as well promote this as the National Water to make it more powerful. Be patriotic, drink Newater, drink National Water.

I dunno, but if there are other brands of natural water available on the shelf, I would not buy or drink Newater. Unless there is no option available, unless it is mandated by law. Don't get me wrong, this is a very good thing. My point is, if there is natural water, it becomes a matter of choice.

Why would Singapore need to drink Newater when natural water is available? If we do not have the wild ambition of increasing our population for the sake of growth and GDP, would Singapore be so desperate to go the Newater way, to produce expensive water and promoting drinking Newater as a way of life? Having a swig is fine. Having the Newater as a staple drink for life, well, I dunno. Mentally, psychologically not very comfortable a thought.There are other ways to promote growth, not by reckless increases in population which would cause more harm than good in the long run. 10m is good, acceptable, unavoidable? You believe in that?

Would anyone go to buy Newater for daily consumption when more natural water is available?

If the population is curbed and maintained at this level, would Singaporeans still need to drink Newater? At the way things are going, the population growth is going to go up and up, without limit, just like putting money into your CPF, with no limit to your age, until you die, if you are having an income.

There are many useful ways for Newater in the industries other than drinking. Why the need to promote drinking Newater when it is not necessary, when other forms of natural water are available?

What do you think? Can anyone honestly say, drinking Newater is shiok?

PS. Europe is short of drinking water. Some are contemplating processing shit water as well. This would be a good market for our Newater.

Beware: Rise Of Japanese Militarism Again

A total of 2,100 personnel from Japan's Ground Self-Defence Force and the US Army have been taking part in military drills across the Kyushu region since mid-August this year. Though they are simulating the Defence of remote islands but in actuality, they are aiming at China and its maritime ambitions.

Japan is very sensitive to any neighboring countries' movements. It always harbours the delusion of being persecuted. It sees itself as a victim instead of the aggressor. It forgets that it is the provocateur of world peace not too long ago.

This time around, what Japan is doing is totally different from the past. Not only is it walking on a dangerous militaristic path, it also brings non-regional countries into regional affairs, which is a dangerous trend, as the arrival of extra-territorial forces will easily tear apart the cooperation mechanism of regional countries, thus creating antagonism among one another. This spells troubles for everyone.

Japan has been repeatedly urged to seriously reflect upon its wrongdoings, especially when the anniversary of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) will be on this Saturday, 3 September 2022.

Japan wouldn't have become what it is today if not for the atrocities it committed in many Asian countries, but instead of reflecting on its troubled history, it has chosen to expand its military, with the view of having the capability of carrying out offensive missions again. Such an ambition can only bring more dangers to Japan and the rest of the World.

Any hidden agendas of the Japanese political expediency and military operations must be exposed for the World to see, clearly in their own mind.

Think again.

Americans, the evil doers and warmongers

 

Everyday they are manufacturing lies to attack one country after another, and with the help of UN and other American controlled organisations, and the media, they acted as if their fabricated lies were real. But after having been at it for so long, no one is believing in them anymore. 

While the Americans are spending millions and billions manufacturing nothing but lies and weapons of mass destruction, China is spending billions and trillions on manufacturing goods and services to improve the economies and lives of the people all over the world. 

The evil Americans are wasting so much resources, money and manpower on wasteful, unproductive and destructive behaviour and hoping to win the hearts and minds of the world. Killing. deceit, inciting wars, causing troubles, fabricating lies are no longer useful but only to let the rest of the world to see how evil and treacherous they are, and more to hate the Americans and distrust the Americans. They have only themselves to blame for being seen as the devils and murderers and the number one terrorist of the world.

American police brutality. The pride of America!

 

These white American officers are so brave and courageous. Three burly officers attacking a young man on the ground and let the victim had it all, punches, kicks, knocks, strangulation etc etc. They kept hitting the hapless victims mercilessly, to show their manhood and how brave they were. 

They deserved to be commended for bravery and deserved a medal each as fine examples of police behaviour.

They are the pride of American police. Very well trained to tackle weaponless civilians. The police of the free world must learn from the Americans on how to tackle and beat up civilians. 

What a beautiful sight! Only 34 secs. Wish it was longer, but the police officers realised they were being caught on camera and too shy to continue with their brutality.

The American police is the best in the world, just like the American soldiers, in brutality and war crimes.
