Virgo's Morning Bread - Good times and bad times Singaporeans

 Singapore or SinkiesLAND or Sinking Land is Doomed!

For 60 decades no new innovations and industries

Auto Pilot thought that the same old economy is enough.

Service and commissions agents and middle men trading businesses.

Now panic stations trying to have what's new economy and believed pains must follow before Sinkies rise again with realities and pramaticism like the first few generations.

Supposedly the new generation leaders should be smarter than the old but turned out Duds!

Actually frankly, like LKY used to say "When you are hungry you strived to be the best and survive"

When the present lots are been fed fat with plenty and lived comfortably lives, the downfall is near.

Already no instincts and ambitions to strive anymore.

I had seen real life realities of some of my early days 60s rich families children as neighbours and friends which are now mostly lost in their wildness which they're been pampered their whole childhood and adult lives by their rich grandparents and later wealth passed down to their parents and later all vanquished.

They cannot even held a job throughout their lives and now living like the Americunts paupers.

Last few days no choice had to visit a relative in intensive care in Koo Tupat oops apology Khoo Teck Puat hospital and seen in buses and trains and passed thru some malls of at least half the population of Singapore I told my spouse are not working at all.

I'm usually at home no need to be out with the maddening crowds as most Seniors must.

It's seemed like they are on holidays with every corners full of them causally.

Is it now they are RTS aka Roam The Streets that they are been retrenched or now they are all so well to do no need to work?

Or alternatively been well fed and supported by their still rich parents who made it thru their ingenuity of hard works or cunning schemes of making their wealth by hook or crooks?

Our time all running up and down like mad dogs making a living.

So not to be long winded, my take at this rate SinkiesLAND is DOOMED.

Anyway no eyes see had seen enough

Prabowo defied the Americans and attended the Victory Parade. Now back home, he is going to do the necessary

 The housing allowance for Members of Parliament in Indonesia was introduced last year but the protest just erupted violently when Prabowo was about to attend the Chinese Victory Day Parade in Beijing. The coincidence could not be timelier in organization. Who is making hay while the sun shines with Prabowo out of the country and establishing closer ties with Beijing?

The USA propaganda machine and its social media beneficiary were also having a song and dance frenzy when Xi was attending the Russian Victory Day parade in Moscow three months ago, claiming that someone or some military leaders revolted and Xi has lost power, was not seen in public and was under house arrest. Does the Victory Day Parade in Beijing days ago indicate Xi losing power or under house arrest?

Hear the stout greeting delivered to the soldiers from Xi while inspecting the parade (I may not have translated well) - 'How are you comrades' from Xi and the powerful reply by the military participants - 'How are you Chaiman' and you can really feel the patriotic response in just a few words. The next message from Xi to the soldiers - 'Comrades, it must be hard on you all' and the equally vociferous reply of that it was their duty in protecting the people and country.

I have watched parades elsewhere, but nothing of the vigor and patriotism coming across like this. Watching Trump's military parade was really a sick joke put up by the USA military, honestly to disgrace Trump earlier. And was there a bullet shield protecting Trump as some claimed?

Gaza Genocide - Helping the Palestinians will bring more harm to them?

JERUSALEM: Israel's foreign minister branded a recent international push to recognise Palestinian statehood a "mistake" on Sunday (Sep 7) and warned it could trigger an unspecified unilateral response, after reports that Israel plans to annex parts of the occupied West Bank.

Several countries, including France and Britain, have pledged to recognise a Palestinian state during the UN General Assembly later this month. CNA

This is the message the Israeli savages are selling to the world. The more you help the Palestinians, the harder the Israelis will come after them. Do not recognise the state of Palestinians. Think carefully what the Israelis are going to do when you recognise Palestinians. You are not helping them!

So, the best thing, do nothing. This will bring less harm to the Palestinians. They will die faster and less painful than continue to be starved and diseased and die a slower and more painful death. Let the Israelis and the Americans annihilate them with their final solution.  Quick and fast, like how they did it to the animals in the abattoirs, merciful killings. This is the only way to help the Palestinians. See, I am a thinker, and I think deeply on the consequences of helping the Palestinians when the end result is to harm them more. Am I clever? Listen to the good advice of the Israelis. It cannot be wrong. Not helping the Palestinians is the wisest think to do. Insanity?

The final solution is on the way. And the world is still hapless, talking cock, unable to do anything. Only the Houthis are really acting, to hit harder at the Israelis. The Israelis hit back hard, killing all the Yemenis govt ministers with their drone strikes. But the Houthis dare not hit Tel Aviv, dare not hit the Israeli govt and ministries. The Houthis alone is not enough. They need the backing and full support of the Arab and Muslim world, and the whole world, to act together to do the final solution on the Israelis instead. And the Arab and Muslim world, together with the world, can do that. Only 8 million Jews in a little piece of land with nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Even the American umbrella cannot be of help. Just do it, and stop talking nonsense. Time is running out on the Palestinians. The more the Arab and Muslim world and the rest of the world keep talking, crying, the more stupid they look.

An immediate stop must be put on the American and Israeli murderers to save the Palestinians. Act now or there will be no Palestinians left to save. Not acting is as good as agreeing with the Israelis, do nothing, and let the Americans and Israelis finish off the last of the remaining Palestinians in Gaza and then the rest in the West Bank.

Do nothing to save the Palestinians, or act now to save them?

What do you think?

PS. Houthis and Yemen just flattened the Israeli airports, and Netanyahu is fleeing for his life.

The China India Story. Same beginning, different ending

 India became an independent country in 1947. China became PRC in 1949 after a long war with Japan and a continuous civil war with the KMT. Both India and China started at about the same time, both poor agrarian countries with no modern industries to talk about. Both were equally poor, the people were mostly uneducated, illiterate farmers or artisans. Their GDP were about the same, nothing to talk about.

Till the 1970s, China went through tumultuous periods of experimentation to catch up with the world but failed miserably. The weather, droughts and famine added to cripple the effort of the Chinese people to rebuild themselves and their economies. The Cultural Revolution dealt another severe blow to the Chinese people, destroying many things of value, the leftovers from the Japanese Invasion and lootings by both the Japanese and the KMT.

In the same period, India chuckled along in its own pace with not many upheavals but with nothing to crow about. 1978 was the turning point of the Chinese economy, opening up to the West and the 4 Modernizations as a start. The following 30 years of rapid industrialisation, selling cheap labour to the West just to get by were accompanied by parallel state policies to educate its population, to learn as much from the West and reconstruction of the country and infrastructure, transformed China into a modern industrial nation state, with its GDP ballooned to more than US$15 trillion. Now China's GDP is creeping towards US$20 trillion.

India continued to chuck along at its own pace with a GDP of nearly US$4 trillion today. In the early 1970s, India had an edge over China in computerisation when everything was in English. While the Indians were excelling in programming and making a name for itself, with a few Indian software companies emerging into international prominence, the Chinese were still learning English.

Today, the Indian software companies are still there as before but becoming just another company. Chinese companies are big names in technology and engineering. Chinese companies are in the forefront of the IT/AI and chips race for world dominance. India is still stuck with the same software companies with a struggling industrial base that is no better than Hong Kong in the 1970s. On the other hand, China is the factory of the world, with complete supply chains for every necessity in modern living and also in high tech, AI, 6G and competing to be the leading powerhouse in top end chips.

There is no comparison between where India is now and where China is. China is neck to neck with the best in America and has surpassed many American industries and not looking back. Anyone believing that India is the next China and the future got to get their heads check. It is meaningless to compare a US$4 trillion GDP with a US$20 trillion GDP. If India is even a fraction better than what it is gloating about, its GDP would be nearer to US$10 trillion at worse. It's GDP is not even a quarter of China's GDP. But comparing GDP can be misleading. What is important today is high tech and leading edge science and AI. Where is India? Only the gullible would think India is in the race or a factor to be reckoned with.

China is now almost self sufficient in many fields. India is almost totally dependent on imports of everything. India's industrial giant, Tata, is making mini EVs with motorcycle engine. In China, many little factories are making many mini EVs with motor cycle engines, and making them better than Tata, and selling them world wide. India is the future? Not in the next 50 years. They could not even have enough urea ie fertiliser, when it is abundantly found in the Ganges River. No technology to harvest them. No technology to turn the Ganges water into Newater for semicon industry.

Looking to India as the future of growth and high tech is like the hillbillies looking to D grader Trump to make America great again.

Trump giving up on his wet dream, the Nobel Peace Prize

 Hear, hear, Trump is not vying for the Nobel Peace Prize now but is just trying to save 'lies' oops 'lives'. Sound much like the USA dropping two nukes on Japan and claiming it was to save lives.

How does that fit into reality when the USA is giving Israel more weapons to kill innocent Palestinian women and children, almost 67,000 right now, not to mention aid workers and journalists as well. That is more than the USA's 59,000 military casualties during the Vietnam War. Whether that is the real figure or watered down version, is unknown. When Trump tries telling the truth, something is not right about the truth.

Trump can really be saving lives by denying more weapons for Israel and Ukraine. That is the truth and nothing but the truth. For that, he may have a sliver of a chance to smell the Nobel Peace Prize. Now, Trump knows his chances of snatching the Nobel Peace Prize has evaporated with his failure in Ukraine and the Indians exposing his lie about being involved in the peace deal between India and Pakistan and India refusing to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Having said that, I think Trump deserves some credit for pushing Putin and Kim even closer towards China. He also deserves credit for pushing India to come to terms with China, but whether that will last is uncertain. There are a lot of unanswered doubts that needs thrashing out.
