India stuck with most of the ills of a democratic system

 

 India is still stuck with most of the ills of a democratic system that is already failing in most Western countries. The Indian system is mired in excessive red tape when dealing with the Government, with corruption still rampant everywhere. Everything moves at a snail pace, while the Chinese high-speed train zoomed by. Both countries were at the same level in the seventies, but today China has a GDP about five times that of India. In the USA scheme of argument when they are losing, they always use the accusation that the Chinese must be on steroids or performance enhancing drugs with the Chinese being subjected to the most stringent testing at the Olympics, LOL.

But India, being the biggest democracy in the world cannot be seen to fail as a showpiece for democracy at work, and the West is egging India on by heaping praise on India and making the situation worse for India. India as the biggest democracy in the world cannot be allowed to fail, which will tarnish the ideals of democracy. The dying horse lying on the ground has to be flogged to rise and complete the race.

Not a few prominent Indian economist and industry leaders have seen the whole picture and commented on why India cannot rise to overtake China, the perennial Indian bogeyman, and they have been castigated for doing so. You see, Indians do not tolerate criticism. They only want to listen to the good stuff, which will make them happy and inflate their egos. While the Chinese work hard at their tasks instead of engaging in wasteful arguments all the time, the Indians like to spend more time arguing than working. I sometimes wonder whether Indians shaking their heads while talking is agreeing or disagreeing.

China never boasts about wanting to become the next superpower to overtake the USA. China just let the facts present themselves for the world to judge. But India likes to boast about wanting to become the next superpower, the next factory of the world, the next industrial power to overwhelm the Chinese. Talk is easy and that is why Indians love talking so much while achieving little.

Venezuela - US meddling and interference using democracy and human rights to instigate unrest

 Everything points to the oil reserves of Venezuela, despite all the denials. The USA does not care about the Venezuelan people. Nowadays they are using democracy and human rights to instigate unrest. Glad that the Africans are telling them off and not try to dictate to them how to run their country.

What has the election in Venezuela, or any other country got to do with the USA? It is interfering in the internal affairs of another sovereign country. Put it the other way round, the USA would not allow any other country to interfere with its election system but is telling the world that it is their right to interfere in others. There was a big storm regarding Russian interference in the 2020 election that still has not subsided. This is how hypocritical the USA is.

Communism is no longer the punching bag, China's progress put paid to the mantra that democracy will always be better than communism. The USA and the West are suffering pangs of humiliation.

How communism outperformed democracy has been proven by the Chinese people coming out to show that they are the happiest people in the world in a recent survey, until they deleted the reality of their findings, because the truth hurts and instead introduced fabrication to misinform.

Fortunately, many people knew about that sleight of hand and now takes the happiness index that they compiled as a sick joke cooked up by sick people.

DBS Bank - DBS in the safe hands of a Singaporean after 30 years! Colonial mentality?

 5 or 6 foreigners have taken over the helm of DBS in the last 30 years, meaning that they could not find a Singaporean worthy to be its CEO till now....but could easily find a foreigner for the job. Finally, a Singaporean is found to be good enough to be the CEO of Singapore's very own bank, a bank founded by Singaporean's money. Tan Su Shan is the CEO to be, come next March. For the moment she would be the deputy CEO until India born new citizen Piyush Gupta retires. Actually it is quite pathetic, a shame, for Singapore to take so long to find a Singapore to run its own bank, as if Singaporeans are dull and no talent. Who's fault is this?

It is more difficult to find a Singaporean to be DBS Bank's CEO than finding one to be Singapore's PM. This, in a way means that this job is more difficult than the PM of Singapore. Or, not important enough that any foreigner also can but not any no talent Singaporean? If the same thinking is applied to political leadership, practically none of the political leaders should be in their positions, as foreigners are deemed to be better than dull Singaporeans.

For once, Singapore's three local banks, founded and built by Singaporeans, would all be returned to the hands of Singaporeans, oops, got to wait until 29 March 2025. For a long while, many Singaporeans must be wondering why there is no Singaporean good enough to be the CEO of DBS. Actually any one of the ministers should be good enough as they are the best of the best Singaporean talents available. Unfortunately they have more important jobs to do as political leaders of Singapore, so cannot be spared for the bank.

Thank goodness, now, finally, they have found Tan Su Shan, and her suitability was even concurred by an independent committee set up specially to find such a candidate. Not sure who were in this independent committee that agreed with the DBS Board of Directors. If they disagreed, then the musical chair for foreigners would continue, and Singapore's top bank would likely to be run by foreigners for another 30 years. I got this notion that if the independent committee have more foreigners, they are likely to find no Singaporeans suitable for the job. Foreigners would always think foreigners good, Singaporeans no good. I think they will think the same about out political leadership too.

Peter Seah would have to be firm to ensure that Su Shan moves into her new role in March without any hitch. Though Su Shan is well respected, well proven as a top banker, the next few months would be critical for a smooth transition for a daughter of Singapore to become the CEO of DBS.

Singapore would be glad to see the bank to be in the safe hands of another Singaporean again. It sends a chill down my spine to think that our national bank is in the hands of foreigners. The Allianz Income saga speaks for this.

The evilest country in history, the Brits, committed the biggest genocide in history in North America

 You know who has been most vocal about banning the Chinese from the Olympics? The Brits. The evilest country in history, that committed the biggest genocide in history in North America and the country that gave birth to an equally evil offspring, the USA.

Today, we can still see the Germans, French and Italian having quite sensible relations with China, albeit strained at times. The Italian Prime Minister just visited China. Not the obnoxious, snobbish Brits who are still thinking that are they are a respected global power. They are outright barbaric to the core. This little pariah of an outcast should be removed from the face of the earth for all the trouble they created. The Russians could not tolerate them either and Putin threatened to nuke them into dust. Boris Johnson sabotaged the last peace deal in Ukraine in 2022. The Russian will never forget his evil deed.

Meanwhile, I am enjoying the protesting now in Little Britain and it is a wonderful sight to behold.

Paris Olympics - American athletes and swimmers are cheats, highly doped, but divert the blame to China

 Do watch this video by Fernando Munoz Bernal on Youtube titled 'Pan Zanle's 100mt World Record met with Racism'. You will, after watching it, probably can understand why the USA dominated the Olympics for decades. USA athletes were given extensive immunities compared to other countries by the World Anti-Doping Agency for their athletes that tested positive for dope, using the argument that there were compelling reasons to give them immunity for medical reasons. Most other countries were given scarce immunity. To be fair WADA should apply such immunity rules fairly for all countries, not just pandering to the interest of the USA alone.

In an expose by a Russian hacker inside the workings of WADA quoted by Fernando Munoz Bernal, it seems the doping charges levelled against others does not apply to the USA athletes, having most of the immunity given to them. Why? The answer is that this is also the corrupt system that works in other world bodies like the UN and WHO. Now even the Nobel Prize is under scrutiny. You see, the USA is the biggest contributor towards bodies like the WHO, UN, WADA and the like, and collectively calls all the shots as to how these bodies have to tailor their agenda to favor the USA. Short of that, these bodies are threatened with funds cut-off. That threat against the WHO over the COVID19 fiasco was a good example.

Does this ring a bell regarding campaign contributions by Big Oil, Big Pharma and Big Wall Street businesses towards Presidential candidates in the USA? Such campaign contributors also expect favorable treatment from those contributions, when their bet gets elected. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Thank about that as well!

Athletes like Simone Biles, who was tested positive just before RIO in 2016, was not suspended and went on the win four medals. Florence Joyner Griffith was on steroids but was never suspended and went on to set world records in 1988, that stood for more than 35 years and never to be broken. Did anyone, the MSM, coaches, athletes accused the USA of doping issues regarding their athlete's stellar performances?

The USA probably knows inside out what drugs are going to be tested and what drugs to avoid from inside knowledge, due to its predominant position inside the affairs of WADA. Gathering inside information in everything they have an interest in is the pre-occupation of the USA establishment. In economics or business terms we call it 'insider trading'. And that is one reason why Florence Joyner Griffith escaped detection over doping issues that were not in WADA's list of banned substances at that time. Conspiracy theory? What was the real reason why she died suddenly at age 38 in her sleep? They claimed it was due to a birth defect. We know better, looking at many World Westling Entertainment performers using steroids and passing away suddenly at a young age.

Now the USA is losing its dominance in swimming as well. And it is desperate to throw the blame on others using doping arguments, a performance enhancing measure that they excelled in for decades. And other White countries are jumping on the wagon and ganging up to demonize Chinese athletes, claiming their performances are impossible. Well, can they also argue that China's economy is impossible, China's HSR is impossible, China's EV production is impossible, China's shipbuilding is impossible and anything about China is impossible. They are all fakes!

Just a passing note, that former Australian swimmer, Brett Geoffrey Hawke is his name I think, raving like a raid dog and telling everybody that Pan Zanle's 46.40 seconds was impossible, when he was reported to be talking about the 'possibility' of even a 45 second 100-meter freestyle earlier. I leave that to your judgement of how twisted minds work.

PS. Without drugs, how could the Americans win so many golds in swimming?

PS. American swimmers' faces turned purple after every race. And this lasted for at least half an hour, indicating heavy doses of drugs that took time to disappear. This is how the Americans won so many medals but with little or no drug test.
