Singaporeans surrendering to foreigners by default with more of such craps

 Workers used to strive for managerial titles, but millennials and Gen Zers are now going out of their way to avoid them. Ms Nicole Chan, a Gen Z manager, asks: Is it time for a new definition of success? CNA

A better question, is it time for Singapore to import more foreigners to be managers and CEOs when Singaporeans are opting out?

This is the kind of depressing remarks coming from Singaporeans. The same kind of remarks that said Singaporeans did not want to be CEOs of local banks, so hired more foreigners to be CEOs of Singaporean banks. Behind such remarks is a downward trend of defeatism, despair, resignation and haplessness among Singaporeans in the job market. Singaporeans have given up as more and more foreigners are brought in to replace them in top jobs. Wow, Singapore is ranking tops in hiring foreign talents. Should this be celebrated or should cry because of this? And comments like we need the foreigners, foreign talents, did not help but create more harm to the Singaporeans, that they are no good, not better than the foreigners, just accept the fate that foreigners will replace them eventually. Just be happy that there is a Singaporean core to talk about and be happy with your million dollar pigeonholes. Never mind that this core is shrinking and eroding. Just pretend that all is fine. Singaporeans can fall back as gig workers, very little stress.

As long as foreigners are not given citizenship, it is fine for statistical reasons. Can bring in millions of foreigners while keeping Singaporeans in a cage and be as happy as the Bhutanese, not allowed to know what is happening outside Bhutan, not allowed to have relations with other countries. The Indians are in charge of Bhutan's foreign affairs. Just make sure the canary is fed.

What happened to the days when hungry Singaporeans were all chasing their dreams of a better life, the 5 Cs? Where has the fighting spirit of the Singaporeans gone? Diluted by the foreigners and psychologically defeated, defeated by the prevailing narrative that foreigners are talented and needed for good and top jobs? It is quite distressing to work under foreigners in homeland Singapore when the foreigners came with unknown degrees and credentials, with many fakes and cheats to sit on top of Singaporeans and belittle over Singaporeans that have expensive world class degrees.

Not everything is bad. The parents are still fighting and striving for the best for their children, cheating to get them to the best schools risking being jailed, paying for everything to make sure that the young Singaporeans will be able to compete with the best in the real world. We have the best education system, the best universities, and the best results. But what happens? Why are young Singaporeans giving up?

Why is there this negative mindset, not wanting to be managers, not wanting to be CEOs? What are these telling us? If the defeatist attitude of Singaporean young continues to be the driving force, another form of lying flat without lying flat, Singapore will be handed to the foreigners on a silver platter by default.

Is this due to the erosion of the Singaporean core? Or the Singaporean core is too small, corroded, becoming irrelevant? Aren't the foreigners here to strengthen the Singaporean core, or would not affect the Singaporean core, or the Singaporean core is now a minority vis a vis the foreign core and would soon take on the characteristic of the foreign core? Or is it a case of Singaporeans giving up the fight, unable to fight because there are too many foreigners here and fighting is futile? Just throw them a few vouchers and all will be fine.

What are the real causes leading to this pathetic state of affair, no more drive be better, to want to be better? The media like to sneer at China for all their problems but forgot that we have more serious problems gnawing at our social fabric and a decaying national spirit to be the best we can. Let the foreigners in and be the best they can.

What do you think? This is the new normal? Nothing wrong with Singaporeans wanting to lie flat without lying flat when they are lying flat in their minds.

Japan is itching for war to conquer Asia again and this time with United States support.

 Japan with US secret collusion is having wild dreams of starting a war to conquer Asia again. Japan had previously observed how Western countries in the last few centuries from 1600s to 1940s had conquered and dominated countries and continents through brutal might of their armed forces. So after the Meiji restoration in the 1868 Japan industrialised in the Western model with strong weaponery of modern firearms and with a modern airforce, a mighty navy and well equipped armies. 

Following China's two defeats in the Opium Wars of 1839 - 1842 and 1856 - 1860 Japan took the cue that China was a lame duck waiting to be attacked and eaten by Japan.

In the mid 1890s Japan used Korea as a springboard to invade China. After invading Korea which was then a Chinese tributary state Japan went on to create trouble in North East China of Manchuria.

In 1879 Japan occupied and annexed Chinese Liu Chiu Dao and in 1895 Japan created incidents in the East China Sea to stage excuses for attacking Chinese naval ships. China lost the sea battle and was forced to surrender Taiwan to Japan as well as had to pay Japan war indemnities of millions of dollars .

In 1910 Japan joined Western powers to attack China and destroyed Beijing and the Summer Palace for the third time . Japan took part with the Western powers to tear China apart into separate extraterritorial  areas to be ruled by each of the separate invading countries. 

Soon Japanese thirst for conquering Asia resulted in Japan's instituting an Asian-Japan co-prosperity sphhere of influence to be ruled from Tokyo. Japan claimed that to rule Asia Japan must first conquer China and to conquer China, Japan claimed it must first strike at China's weak under belly spots in Manchuria, Mongolia and Xinjiang.

Thus in mid 1920s Japan already had detail plans for conquering China and Asia. From 1928 to 1931 it started to invade China's North East territory of Manchuria and Mongolia. Here it faced fierce Chinese resistant fighters mainly from the armies of the Chinese Communist Party led by Mao Tze Tung , Chu Ter, Peng De Huai and millions of other Chinese patriots.

Thus from 1931 to early 1945 Japan carried out full scale war on China. However as it faced strong and fierce resistance from the red army of Mao Tze Tung it could only hold the Chinese sea board provinces , towns and cities and left the inner provinces very much safely in Chinese hands. 

In the meantime the very much United States supported Kuomintang or Nationalist Party of Chiang Kai Shek refused to fight the Japanese but on the other hand kept on attacking and harassing the Chinese Communist Party armies from the frank. Under American instruction Chiang Kai Shdek claimed that the Japanese invaders is only the disease of the skin but the Chinese Communists is the disease of the heart.

During these fourteen years of violent and brutal Japanese invasion more than 35 million Chinese patriots died a gruesome death through Japanese atrocities in torturing, dismembering body parts from captured Chinese prisoners, hanging and torturing Chinese alive in public places, water boarding , burying millions of Chinese alive in dug out ponds and many other gruesome diabolical ways of torturing like using biological and chemical weapons of  its genocidal agency 731 on Chinese citizens. Many more tens of million of Chinese suffered terrible pain and agonies in these convulsions of Japanese invading armies.

Later in the early 1940s to 1945 the Japanese extended their invasion and conquests of South East Asia countries and continued their violent and wanton ways of atrocities and brutalities on the people mainly on the local Chinese citizens. Sad to say both my father and my mother suffered horrible torture from the Japanese on the flimsy accuse that they supported the Kuomintang in fighting the Japanese.

Now China and the Chinese people and all Asians have not forgotten the old grievances and grudges against the Japanese and yet these same Japanese monsters dare to raise their ugly heads to think of starting a war with China again via the excuse of the Chinese Taiwan problem which is entirely a Chinese internal affair. 

If Japan dares to start a war in Asia again it would be a good opportunity for China and the Chinese people and all South East Asians to settle once for all both the old grievances and grudges and the new grievances and grudges gainst Japan and ensure Japan this time will be permanently obliterated from the surface of the globe into oblivion. 

Should we forgive and forget the Japanese loathsome war crimes against Asians and humanity. No, we should not. Yet some stupid brain dead pseudo Chinese politicians in Singapore think otherwise. An imbecile senior Singapore politician uttered that in a survey its result showed that Japan is the most trusted country in Asia and he thinks Japan should provide security for the South East Asian region. With Japan boldly uttering that in a contingency Taiwan crisis Japan would intervene with it arm forces which is tantamount to interfering with China's internal affairs and yet this same politician claimed that Japan is overlooking present issues to live in peace with China and advised China to do likewise. He conveniently forgets that the present political issue  is started by the bitchy Japanese warhawk anti-Chinse prime minister. Maybe his family had never suffered from Japanese war crimes or has he got other agenda to groat about. His speech during an interview by a Western journalist seemed to praise Japan positively vis-a-vis China's position and thus putting China in a bad light. I wonder what toxic pipe is he smoking? His speech clearly showed his poor understanding of history and his very bad and wrong perspectives of the issues of Japanese aggressions, invasions and endless wanton brutalities of the Japanese against the Chinese people and other Asians. In short his speech implies an uncalled for insult on the self-respect, honour and dignity of the Chinese people and other Asians like the Koreans.

Even a seasoned British journalist said that Japanese war crimes against China and the Chinese people should never  be forgotten and forgiven. Below is the Youtube video podcast of this British journalist which is self explanatory. Hopefully those simple minded politicians who still think of being Japanese bedfellows will watch this podcast and awaken to their senses of the new dangers from Japan. Following this is another Youtube video podcast lambasting the wrong and dangerous view held by the Singapore PM.

Does Japan Really want War?

Japanese militarism - Talk to the master before whacking the dog 打狗看主人

 As tension rises in East Asia, Japan, after launching the first blow, continues to escalate with no signs of easing down. China keeps responding to the Japanese provocation by upping the ante. Japan, with the mighty American terrorists behind its back, thinks it is time to push for war between China and the USA. China, forever on the defensive, is now forced to stand up or look silly to its own people and to the whole world.

The phone call between Xi and Trump did not come at a more opportune time. If Trump did not call, Xi is likely to call. Xi has to act in the face of reckless provocation by the Japanese. He cannot look weak to the Chinese people. And the statement by the Japanese woman is as close to a declaration of war, and intent to go to war with China. No Chinese with a little pride and dignity can tolerate this aggression. Period.

There are many angles to look at the conversation between Xi and Trump on the Japanese provocation. There is this saying, before whacking the dog, look at who is the owner. China knows that Japan is just a doggie to the Americans. It is only polite to talk to the Americans before kicking the dog. The owner is no small man and can respond roughly when hurt. Xi is now giving notice to Trump, 'your dog is very aggressive, and I am going to give it a good beating'. 

This is also a way to test the owner's reaction. This is also a way to probe if the Americans are together with the Japanese in this provocation. Every word that Trump said would be analysed carefully to figure out what is the truth. China would then be in a better position to respond appropriately to the challenge. Trump cannot hide the truth behind this tension. If the Americans are in it, then China would have to prepare for an all out war with the Americans, and very likely ask for full backings of the Russians and the North Koreans. Taking on the Americans and the Japanese together is a major decision that could lead to a nuclear war. 

If the Americans are not in with the Japanese, the response by China would be more targeted. China could tell Trump, just stand aside and be a spectator, no American bases or facilities will be hit. China can then go all out to deal with the doggie without offending the master or dragging the master into the fight. The doggie may think it is capable of hitting Beijing or Shanghai. Then Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and all the big Japanese cities would not be left standing. China's response could be calibrated at every level to match the ferocity of the Japanese.

Whether the Americans are behind this or not, China's position has made known to the Americans to consider in advance what is best for the Americans. The Americans may be the provocateurs behind this crisis. Now they have been kept informed of how far China would go, and how far they would want to be part of this war. They are given a choice to back down, to deescalate. The ball is now in the hands of Trump. To fight or take flight. China has showed its hands. This is real. This is not a game of poker, calling one's bluff.

Whatever, Japan is due for a good whacking, unless it apologies and backs down.
