Grumbling of a senior Singaporean

 

 Let me also relate how the LTA and the ex Minister now still fighting his innocence claiming ignorant that these gifts are nothing but friendships goodwills just to show that they are sebok working hard and innovative squandered millions on a useless project of the construction of the Circle Line right in front of out estate on the old KTM Railway Station.

That junk rundown station long platform for the passengers waiting area had ordinary pillars of just ordinary cement with no even a design of intrinsic value and they purposely cut them up stored in load Loders and parked on cemented floors next to the Kampong Bahru Empty Bus Terminal.

I knew that these pillars are just straight block of slabs as been playing there as a child and also been travelling a lot to Matland on their trains for work and also pleasure.

They cleaned and reinforced them behind our estate nearly two to two and a half year grooming these junks pillars.

They can simply demolished them and have better new ones which no one is any wiser that these are the old KTM old railway platform pillars.

Saved few millions for doing that.

Don't know lah maybe have also to support Papies kakis and give them.this project.

Now come to the actual headache.

They had moved back the damn useless pillars.back to refitted to the built up new platform and now they have to demolish the cement floorings.

What's a waste of monies!

Anyway don't give a damn lah!

The main problem now is the demolition which the past month or so they drilled part by part yo break the cement.

The noise is so terrible for nearly eight hours a day and any sane people can go mad.

They should have use those big excavators and break them into small pieces and lorry away for breaking into small pieces elsewhere.

Opposite are the Community and other hospitals.

The sick and elderly in our estates had.to suffer these nonsense.

One neighbour called the NEA and they said the noise is permissible under their readings with their meters at the roof tops of our 25th storey point block.

Hello the meters must be installed at ground level to monitor the noise what's for at the top of the roof of the block.

Real block heads.

They preferred to spend a fee millions just to tell the peoples when the project is finished that everything is original as in the old junk railway useless no.value pillars platform.

Wow, now next project the Turf City with preserving many of the old artifacts and buildings.

So now they shall likewise the horse stables and others on load loaders and refurbish them again spending a few millions and reinstall back.

Also cemented floor near the Elites bungalows next to the Turf City and later then demolitions the same style by drilling part by part again and the noise level is permissible as according to out readings.

Who are you to dispute?

Anyway left to be seen equal miseries for all heartlands and Elites of Bukit Timah.

Good Luck.

President Raisi's helicopter crash...good news that is was an assassination

 More evidence are surfacing that the helicopter crash was no accident and pointing to the direction of an assassination. The weather map of the area during the crash had been totally deleted to prevent investigation into the weather condition then when all the reports said the helicopter flew into thick fog. An American C17 happened to be in the same region.

Remember, the pilots flying the chopper must be carefully selected as the best and most experienced. They were flying the President of Iran. Why would the pilot flew the chopper into thick fog when he could detour or delay the flight? Thick fog in a mountainous region is perfect menu for an air crash. Or there were no fog at all? How did the other two choppers survived. Their statements on what actually happened could shed light on the weather condition quite easily.

If it was an assassination, this is good news for the world. Israel and the Americans would have their hands full as Iran would now have all the reasons and no excuse not to strike back real hard. The rest of the world would be spared from the evil plans of the Americans and Israelis as they would be stuck in the quagmire of the Middle East War. The silence is frightening. The Iranians are working very hard to filter out the truth and would act when they are ready. Unfortunately, the people in the Middle East would be the victims of this vicious crime against the Iranians and their President and Foreign Minister and other senior staff.

Today, with so many sources of information and technology, satellite pictures etc etc even eye witnesses, the truth will be out very soon.

CIA is the assassination arm of the USA Government

 The world knows, like an open book, that the CIA is the assassination arm of the USA Government.

In the past, the CIA's nefarious activities were supposed to keep the name of the USA Government officially and directly out of involvement in sabotage, subterfuge, assassinations, terrorist activities and funding regime changing groundwork. That was the original objective of forming the CIA. That it had a hand in the assassination of John F. Kennedy is a clear indication of how evil it has become.

The CIA does not investigate criminal activities as the name suggests. It is a misnomer. Rather CIA stands more appropriately for 'Criminal Instigation Agency'. It promotes criminal activities loud and clear. Ever wonder why some people are advising others not to take what the USA promotes at face value, but to take it in the opposite direction?

Mike Pompeo, who served as the Director of the CIA during Trump's Presidency, tells us what the CIA really is, straight from the horse's mouth - We lie, we cheat, and we steal. Need to say more?

When evil rules the world

 The message that the USA is sending to the rest of the world is tantamount to just allowing the rest of the world to move along obediently and must not compete too well with or overtake the USA. As long as the status quo remains, the USA is content to allow countries to keep churning out cheap goods for the USA to freeload and enjoy and for countries to earn toilet papers to buy the USA debts.

Once a country rises above that threshold, competing too well with the USA and threatening to overtake it, that is not tolerated. The USA will start inventing narratives to demonize that country, utilizing its vast propaganda machine and coercing beholden doggies to do its dirty work. China fits perfectly into that image. Japan and Germany were China's predecessors of USA oppression.

It may be a good thing for major investment funds from the USA to flow into a country to boost the recipient country's economy, and to cut cost for such USA companies, but there are pitfalls that are proving to be a double-edged sword. Those investments by the USA could be used to bring down that country's economy when such companies are forced to pull out their investments when relations sour, resulting in economic hardships, beckoning the IMF and World Bank to go in like vultures, picking the bones of a carcass on the pretext of offering help, with long strings attached. Debt trap? We know what the consequences are befalling that country.

We have seen that in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh and including Vietnam as well. Fortunately, the major portion of investment funds into Vietnam came from Asian countries like Singapore, South Korea, China and Japan. They do not have any hidden political motives nor the intention to sabotage good business opportunities, except to make money. Vietnam was therefore able to avert falling into the same dilemma as the others despite the attempts by the USA to do it in not long ago. All because of Chinese investments in Vietnam having access to the USA market to avoid the tariffs.

Argentina is still mired in a massive debt to the IMF, that is being restructured to add more misery. The Argentina Peso had been devalued time and again, which makes it impossible to clear its US$ debt to the IMF. Dollarization by Javir Milei, another joker, is thought to be able to solve Argentina's IMF debt problem. It is crushing Argentina instead, despite praises from the USA and the West. Clowns praising clowns is not uncommon.

The Americans killing free trade

 China can retaliate by raising tariffs on more products from USA, EU and Japan. Plastic materials, chemicals and machine tools are examples. And it honestly will retaliate. The game is just starting to get interesting. The Chinese market is large and important for most large companies in countries in the West. Tariffs will render their products too expensive in China. And what does that mean?

To continue to be able to sell competitively and do business in the Chinese market, those companies producing for the Chinese market will probably have to invest their manufacturing in China itself, to escape the tariffs. Good for China, but bad for USA and EU. This will be counter to what the USA and EU are trying to do to support their manufacturing base by raising those tariffs against Chinese imports and forcing China to hit back.

China is waiting for the USA and EU to come up with more measures to elicit a response. There are a couple of items in the USA list where tariffs are being increased substantially. China will be looking into them and calibrating its response in days to come.
