PAP, the unspoken miracle of Singapore

 Almost 60 years of PAP rule in prosperous Singapore, the people did not seem to be tired of the PAP. PAP is still the unchallenged ruling political party in Singapore. No political party could come near to PAP in terms of political votes. Parliament is still overwhelmingly filled with PAP MPs, more than two thirds majority. And this is not going to change.

Here are the reasons why. 

The PAP has the monopoly of talents in Singapore. Look at the PAP MPs and ministers and you cannot miss that everyone is a super talent, deserving to be paid in the millions or several hundred thousands. Practically everyone is paid more than the President of the USA, more or less there. The talents of PAP MPs and ministers are unquestionable, all proven by their very clever answers in Parliament when questioned by the opposition. They are always right and always put the opposition MPs looking like losers. Hard to find in any other Parliament.

The PAP is unchallenged and incomparable to any political parties in the world in their ability to make tough decisions in good or bad times, and always accepted by the people without any protest or objection. Look at the slate of increases in taxes and fees recently, in a time when practically every country is having trouble with inflation and stagnation or facing recession. The Singapore govt could still happily raise taxes and fees like business as usual. Many govts would have been brought down by mass protests like in Europe now, but not the PAP. They understand that the people are fully behind the PAP in whatever the PAP does. They believe that the people understand that everything the PAP did must be for the good of the people.  This kind of blind loyalty and trust by the people for a political party is unheard of in any country. Even China cannot match this.

And the PAP can fill the island with nearly 3m foreigners, practically one in every two person in the island is a foreigner. It could be even more if new citizens are included. And the people are not objecting. The people love it. The little ranting by the unemployed or underemployed are mere noises thrown up in the social media, nothing serious that would undermine the support for the PAP. The facts on the ground is that Singaporeans are awfully rich. Just look at the money they are willing to pay for public housing and for private car ownership. Public housing is now costing several hundred thousands for a 99 year leasehold, that would become 0 value when the lease expired. But the Singaporeans are so rich and so happy to buy them.

And the cars. A cheapo Korean or Japanese car is costing more than $100k when the cost of the car is likely to be about $15k. Just a certificate to have the right to buy a car, excluding the price of the car, is between $80k to $110K.  And still the Singaporeans are rushing to buy and own cars, as if this is normal. This means the Singaporeans are rich, cash rich. The saying that Singaporeans are asset rich and cash poor is just a myth. And quietly the Singaporeans must be very grateful to the PAP for making them so rich to be able to pay for public and private housing in the millions and cars at prices you can't find in any part of the world.

No where in the world can you find such a concentration of super talents in a single political party, all millionaires, a cabinet of millionaires, and the best talents in the island. If their salary is a measure of their talents, practically everyone of them is more talented than all the heads of states in the whole world.  They are paid according to their market worth. They can all command the same equivalent salary in the job market if they were to leave their political offices.

This is the unspoken miracle of Singapore. So many talents in the political leadership, but no talents left in the private sector that millions of foreign talents have to be imported to fill the vaccuum in the population. A no talent nation state led by a few super talents and still can be the richest state in Asia. come to think of it, this second part is also a miracle.

European Enlightenment was all a lie. It was European savagery written from their perspective!

Below is a long comment by a writer in RT exposing the European lie of their Age of Enlightenment, a self deceptive piece of narrative glorifying their wickedness at the expense of the coloured people of the world. It was like the Jews glorifying themselves in the Bible as the chosen people of God, the good guys, but anyone reading the Bible would know how evil the Jews were in their deceitful, selfish, racist and savage ways against the people in the region. Please read and get wiser by the truths that were distorted by the Europeans to praise themselves while killing and robbing the rest of the world.

There was not a European Enlightenment. It was a clever academic hoax. There were over 35 wars in the 17th century alone, started by Europeans. That's a lot of death and despair, which is contrary to any enlightenment at all. The 'so-called' "evidence of the senses, and ideals such as natural law, liberty, progress, toleration, fraternity, constitutional government, and separation of church and state," is all non-sense. Their was no 'liberty and toleration' for the numerous genocides of many a nation at the hands of 'European Enlightenment.' 

The European Enlightenment couldn't have existed, unless you want to include chopping off the limbs of the peoples of those 'undeveloped' nations who didn't have modern weapons; their limbs chopped of by European exploiters b/c they didn't work hard enough to collect rubber for their brutal masters. Slavery, resource theft, land theft, shall we include that in the principles of Enlightenment!? See? All an elaborate hoax using fancy language, obfuscation, semantics and brutal lack of self-awareness and the hiding of their crimes. 

This is what Europeans do; steal resources, invade, enslave. Its their 'second nature' and many a millions of Africans lay at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean, their skeletons still in chains from the so-called European Enlightenment ideology that prove that claim. 

They are yet again attempting this 'Enlightenment behaviour' against Russian Federation. In fact ALL of their arguments are couched in 'Enlightenment' propaganda. But they meet up with Realism; the Realism of the Russian people's deep spiritual convictions, and their massively powerful unbeatable character. Not to mention the massive material substrate which they alone control - that material substrate, that is the very reason for the New US-LED NATO terror Neo Colonialism against Russian Federation. 

But one fly in the ointment this time. The Enlightenment Europeans are not the only one's with guns, and this time they are not fighting brown skinned 'tribal peoples' the ones who didn't meet their 'Enlightenment criteria,' and who are only armed with spears, bow and arrow' against Gattling gun and canon. That is the 'Realism' part ... these Europeans with their criminal psychopathic US partners won't be able to run roughshod over RF and genocide them like the terrible fate of so many 'kind nations' who simply did not have the technology to defend themselves from European and American aggression. 

Yet another reason why their was NO enlightenment age - no Enlightened people would simply 'enter another 'nation's home,' rape their wives, enslave their children and kill off or enslave the men.' And that my friends is the sine qua non of the European behaviour in the Enlightenment era, and in today's era too. No 'tolerance, and liberty' there folks, none at all. Its a new day now, and the RF are defending themselves as they should, with the equal and even better defences than Europeansand their 'slave masters' the US have at their disposal. 

The Europeans, the 'main ones,' like the UK, France especially, will not be able to behave as they did in the 18th century, wantonly killing and stealing resources from others, although they deeply attempt to do so. This 'realism' of Russian Federation total integrity, strength of conviction, spiritual power, and dogged determination, is now hitting like a ton-of-bricks from upon high the European and US-led NATO terror states. Yet they do not adhere to it...yet. 

As it is the Ukrainians who foolishly put themselves upon the burning pyre of sacrifice for the European Enlightenment so-called 'ideals.' Isn't it strange indeed? But once Europeans enter their 'burning pyre' moment themselves, against the Russian Federation and her allies, finally, the 500 years of terror they perpetrated upon so many around the world will come to its final end.

Singapore is not a British colony. Only English speakers welcome?

SINGAPORE: Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh said in Parliament on Monday (Feb 27) that he would advocate for an English test when assessing a person's application for citizenship or permanent residency in Singapore.

This led Second Minister for Home Affairs Josephine Teo to express her misgivings on how much such a test could help, given that those inept in English are likely to be foreign spouses....

“We want those who truly know Singapore and want to embrace the Singapore way of life. We want those who really want to live here and be there,” he said.

“Singaporeans do not want new citizens who don’t want to live here but only want the power of the Singapore passport for their convenience, and a safe and secure environment for their assets and wealth.”...We do not want new citizens who are reluctant for their sons to do National Service, and certainly none of us want people only want Singapore citizenship as a stepping stone to another country, but instead, seek those who have a long-term commitment to Singapore. "CNA

Has Pritam Singh lost it? English is an accidental language imposed on Singapore by the colonial power Britain. Like India, English becomes useful as the multi racial citizenship needs a common lingua franca to communicate. English is not our natural lingua franca. Using the English Language is like joining the British Commonwealth, a stigma of our colonisation. Accepted that English is useful as an international language and it is unlikely that this would change for the forseable future.  But to glorify this as a must for a non English country speaks a lot about our education system and the mentality of the English educated Singaporeans.

Let us not forget that Singapore has 4 official languages and we must not dismiss this part of our history and heritage or to undermine their importance. By demanding that new citizens or PRs must pass an English test is not a very wise proposal. It kind of telling the world that we are still a British colony or only English men or English speakers are welcome. Then what are we? Many of our seniors could not even speak English and are still with us. Tell them to go away? Would they be calling for the abolition of the other 3 languages as official languages? Official languages are enshrined in the Constitution and to be accepted as our forms of communication. Stop belittling our official languages.

Are we going to be a monolingual island where everyone must speak English? Speaking Malay, Tamil or Chinese are not welcome? For some bananas that could speak Chinese but arrogantly and rudely refused to speak to visitors from China in Chinese and insisted to speak to them in English can be unstandable as they are low thinking and foolish bananas.  These louts did not know who they are, did not know where they came from. Politicians are expected to think more comprehensibly and looking at the country as a whole.

Language is a communication tool, for convenience. But it is also an identity of who we really are, a multi racial and cultural society, not an English colony, not angmoh country.  If the British did not conquer the island, the majority of the people here would not be speaking English.

As for Pritam's second point about foreigners wanting our passports for their convenience, many English speakers are as guilty in this, using our passport as an easy way to migrate to western countries. So English or no English is immaterial.

Singapore is a multi racial and multi cultural country, not an English speaking country.  Speaking English is nothing to be proud of.  England would soon be just England, and may even be booted out from the UN Security Council when it joins the Third World of pariah state.  We must be proud of our own heritage, our origins and what we are.  There is nothing to be ashamed of if a person cannot speak English in Singapore. An enlighten and courteous Singaporean would switch his language facility to engage another person to communicate with that person. Only the low thinking louts would do otherwise, refuse to communicate, thinking that he is sikit atas because he could speak English. How silly can it be?

The other points that Pritam made are fair, like new citizens did not want to do NS or having their children doing NS. But he also said this, “the latest Singapore Census revealed that 48.3 per cent of the resident population in Singapore spoke English most frequently at home compared to 32.3 per cent a mere 10 years ago."

What about the 51.7 per cent? Is 48.3 per cent going to dictate to the majority 51.7 per cent that they are obsolete if they don't speak English? What kind of logical thinking is this?

What do you think? Would they be sneering at anyone without an English name and insisting that everyone must have an English name to stay here?  Would they be insisting that their Ah Kong and Ah Mah, or their Ah Pa and Mama must speak English to them?

Biden is a danger to himself and to the world

 Biden would end up a very bitter old fool without knowing why. His tragedy would not be felt by himself due to his dementia. But his family would be dragged through the mud for starting WW3, a war of annihilation of the Americas and civilisation.  The sad thing is that he did not authorise it or has anything to do with it. All the decisions for a vicious and deadly world war would be conceived and initiated by the neocons around him. They would issue war orders in the name of Biden without any approval from Biden, without telling Biden. And Biden has no means of defending himself and his name as the excuse would be Biden ordered and signed the Executive Order, and he forgot that he did so. And Biden would not be able to use this excuse to get himself out of responsibility. Everyone knows that he would forget everything he said and done.

Biden is at best a walking corpse in the White House, acting important, enjoying the position of the President but is basically inconsequential. The neocons are taking full advantage of this to conduct acts of war everywhere with immunity and waving Biden's placard around. They can do as they like without having to be responsible for it. Biden would be the scapegoat, the sacrifice when things fall apart. All the fingers would be pointing at Biden.

How could this happen to the most powerful country in the world, when the head of state is a rubber dummy, without a thinking head in it? Biden is not only a danger to himself but to the rest of the world, without the presence of mind to know what is going on around him, what the neocons are doing behind his back to destroy the world while believing they were resurrecting a dying Empire. The neocons have not qualms about starting WW3. What is happening in Ukraine is dangerously losing control and the world is at the brink of a nuclear fall out.

Everyday Biden is in office is a danger to the world. He must be removed immediately or the neocons would be in control of the American Empire, likely led by Soros, the de facto President of the USA, and his Deep State. America is now a fake democracy with only an election to show, but an Empire running loose and out of control. Everyday the neocons are pushing a step closer to WW3 and the annihilation of human kind, and in full control of a happy and clueless Biden, and a comedian enjoying all the limelight in Ukraine. 

The nightmare is starting, but the world is in a state of denial and ignorant bliss.

PS. 
Former White House physician and Republican Representative Ronny Jackson has hit out against US President Joe Biden, arguing that his declining mental state poses a danger to the entire country.

“It’s TERRIFYING for our country that Biden is our commander-in-chief,” Jackson wrote on Twitter on Saturday. “He doesn’t know where he’s at half the time and every day he brings us closer to an all-out war with Russia and China. His cognitive decline is going to get people KILLED!!” ... 

Replying to the president’s health report, Jackson stated that the medical exam was a “joke” and a “cover up.” He also pointed out that Biden, unlike his predecessor, Donald Trump, had not taken a cognitive test and argued that the sitting president’s “ability to think and reason is gone” and that he should not be in office.

American politicians are so childish and silly

 Every USA election has to have a bogeyman to blame for all the ills of the USA itself. Russia and China, because of their rising clout and influence, have been the perennial bogeymen for both parties in the USA, as their favourite punching bag. By capitalising on and hyping up the threat of these two countries, the USA voters ultimately will choose the one party proclaiming itself as the most anti Russia/China in its stance. That is how the system works in the USA-styled democracy and it did work for decades, from the era of the former Soviet Union, when it was a competitor against the USA.

Today, this tactic is used to divert all the USA domestic problems, including personnal problems of the White House occupant himself, resulting in a show of brinkmanship as to who can demonise Russia and China better. That same modus operandi had also been displayed in Little Britain, between Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss, when both were trying to capitalise on who is more hardcore anti-China in their recent election stunt. This is how most other Western system also works.

There is now hysteria, or rabid dog syndrome, after China stated its stand in a position paper and indicated its plan to broker a peace deal in Ukraine. Look at how agitated the USA and the West have reacted, fearing that China could realistically come up with a peace deal, which they are trying very hard to sabotage even before it began.

When China refused to get involved in the Ukraine War, they tried to forced China to take a stand against Russia, which China refused. They even tried to put pressure on China, trying to play the psychological card, by saying that Xi is capable of inflencing Putin to stop his liberation move in Ukraine and must do something. Why must China condemn Russia according to the dictates of the USA? Russia is an important ally, an important and evolving trade partner. Like India, China has its own security and domestic interest to take care of first, and no country can change that.

Now that China is trying to step in to foster a peace deal, they straight away raised ridiculous claims that China is not sincere, raised conjectures and throwing spanners against China's effort, as a peace deal is not in their interest.

So, as in all things, whichever way China deals with problems, it is always wrong and not to the liking of the USA and the West. Take COVID19 as an example. China's lockdown had been continually demonised to no end. China's re-opening had been hyped up as a doomsday event.

Ostensibly the only agenda of the USA and the West is to split the alliance between Russia and China, so that the USA can continue with its divide and rule agenda, and sustain its hegemonic intention. I believe Russia and China are perfectly aware of the intention, so does countries of BRICS, Africa, Latin America, Middle East and Central Asia. East Asia and ASEAN countries do not appear that clear in their awareness.
