“Facebook user Chandni Doulatramani shared the video on social media
yesterday and shared the frustrations of the passengers on board the SIA
plane. Apparently, the flight could not depart due to an issue with the
air-conditioner and an SIA air stewardess allegedly admitted that “the
aircraft hasn’t been in use for a long time and so the airconditioning
was not working.”…
Chandni says that when passengers, who were in the dark about what was
going on, tried to seek answers they were rudely shut down: “When we
confronted the cabin crew, they had no answers, rudely shut us up,
threatened to call the cops to arrest us, and said “we are in the same
situation as you are, don’t ask us, we don’t know anything”.”…
Chandni – who strongly believes that the airline was racist against
Indians and that this would not have happened if the flight was not
headed to India – has indicated that she may be planning to sue SIA if
they do not compensate the passengers for such an experience.
In the comments section of the post, she added that she hopes the staff lose their jobs:”
The above are extracts posted in theindependent site. SIA must be very
careful of its image particularly when it is being accused of being a
racist airline by the Indians. If they are not careful, all the Indian
passengers would not take SIA and the CECA that favours Singapore
companies to do business in India would be a wasted agreement. And SIA
would not only have to close down but also be sued for racism.
Singapore as a country also has to tread this line very carefully. With a
few hundred thousand Indians being invited to work in Singapore under
the CECA, it would be very serious if the Indians turn around to accuse
Singapore and Singaporeans of being racist. Singapore has a lot to learn
from India on how not to be racist to Indians.
Singapore and Singaporeans may not think this is so because their tiada
apa attitude towards race, young Singaporeans are coloured blind, would
and could be perceived as racist by Indians who have not been subject to
racism as racist. Young Singaporeans are quite casual and callous in
their conversation and remarks and these may be seen as racism, just
like the UOB D&D when some young Singaporeans painted their faces
black for the party.
Maybe the govt should start a campaign by making all Singaporeans wear a
T shirt with the words, ‘Singaporeans are not racist”. Of course the T
shirt would come with a price tag, nothing is free is Singapore. It is
better to be tolerant to the foreigners and not to be accused of as a
racist people. And they are here to create jobs for Singaporeans.
Without them Singaporeans, especially the PMETs would be jobless. These
foreigners gave up their good jobs at home to come to help Singaporeans.
They could stay in their home countries where jobs are aplenty and life
was good. In a way they are making huge sacrifices like our politicians
to earn millions here.
Looks like SIA has a lot of damage control to do with the above comments by this Chandni circulating in the social media.
This racist label is a tough one especially when the accusers are
Indians. They would soon be a majority in Singapore. Be very careful not
to be caught to be making racist remarks or acts by the Indians.
PS. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all our Malay and Muslim brothers and sisters.

Trump-Kim summit: 3 things that weren’t right
Now that the dust has settled, allow me to share 3 things related to the Trump-Kim summit that weren’t quite right. No, they had nothing to do with the organisation of the summit which went swimmingly well - thanks to the wonderful efforts of our overworked, hard-pressed officials. They relate instead to the actions of certain parties on the periphery.
The first was MediaCorp’s inclusion of the views of so-called body language experts in their news bulletins. Their surgical dissections of every muscular tics of the two leaders as indicative of who was more superior, confident or simply at ease was nauseating to say the least. I can understand if the panel covering the summit ‘live’ did that because these poor souls had to fill the y-a-w-n-i-n-g gaps between the unfolding events. But surely not airtime-precious MediaCorp bulletins!
The second was the (early) unsolicited celebration of President Trump’s birthday by our leaders just when they were Trump-eting Singapore’s neutrality to the world. Whoever proposed the idea of a birthday cake for Trump wasn’t being very savvy or sensitive. What would the Chinese think? Probably this: “If it was President Xi Jinping's birthday, would he have gotten a cake?” The gesture was both unnecessary and inappropriate.
Finally, a certain opposition politician took time out to make a video to excoriate foreign minister Vivian Balakrishnan for saying that Singapore was there to “serve tea and coffee”. That wasn’t just a waste of the politician’s time, it was also unfair. The minister was using those words to indicate the trust that we enjoy as honest and neutral host in the eyes of the world. For the record, this was what he said in The Straits Times: “I am confident we will do our best as hosts. I tell both North Koreans and Americans that we are there to serve tea and coffee”. No right-minded person would take his words literally to mean that he wants Singapore to be the tea lady of international diplomacy. Bottomline: We can be critical but we should also be fair.
John Bolton & the Hawks May Yet Scuttle The Hope for Peace In Korea And East Asia
The senior staffs of the American and DPRK administrations will soon meet to talk and negotiate details such as terms and conditions for the denuclearisation of Korea. However, with the inclusion of John Bolton a well known rogue and warmonger in Trump's team of negotiators it doesn't look promising .
John Bolton is a staunch member of the extremely hawkish Jewish American Neo-Conservatives. He is also a member of the powerful and militant Jewish Anglo-Saxon Zionist Rothchilds Illuminati Organization which since its foundation over a hundred years ago has consistently adopted the doctrine of creating and conducting permanent wars throughout the world as a means to acquire wealth, riches, power and hegemony over everybody and every country on earth.
John Bolton has a horrible revolting ugly insidious satanic animistic facial look which lends credence to our suspicion and insight into his innermost evil mind and thought that he will surely work his way to sabotage and scuttle the success of the negotiations. Thus the prospect for peace and harmony in Korea and the Far East inclusive of East China Sea and South China Sea regions looks bleak if not impossible with the inclusion of John Bolton and a few of his similar hawkish warlike American negotiators.
Hopefully Trump is not part of the act and it is difficult to conclude as he is a sort of an enigma wrapped in a puzzle.

Malaysian work ethics to be like Japan
The statestimesreview posted this:
Speaking at the media conference in Tokyo on Sunday (Jun 10), Malaysia Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said that he will lead Malaysia’s transformation to be like Japan. Calling for Malaysians to adopt Japanese working ethics, the newly-elected Prime Minister said Malaysia need to adopt a similar value system to produce quality work:
“It’s about acquiring also the Japanese work ethics, the Japanese sense of shame whenever they fail to deliver what they have promised to deliver… When I first came to Japan in 1961 – a country destroyed by war – I watched the Japanese people work and work very hard to rebuild their country, and sure enough the result was that Japan very quickly became one of the biggest economies in the world. From a defeated country, a destroyed country, Japan was able to rebuild itself at a fast rate and effectively. I found that why the Japanese succeeded in rebuilding their country was due to their work ethics, their value system. If you have the wrong way of working, if you are not hardworking and you don’t take pride in your work, you will fail. Japanese took pride in making high quality products that were able to compete successfully with those produced by other countries. But in Malaysia we don’t have this value system, we don’t feel ashamed if we come up with sloppy products which are of poor quality … whether what you do is good or not does not seem to matter.”
Mahathir should ask himself, how could Malaysia be like Japan, how could the work ethics be changed when success comes so easy. Just demand for a 30% share of anything, from ownership to profits without having to work or to contribute anything of value? Where is the motivation to work when all it needs to do is ask, demand and will be given?
The Malaysians that have work ethics similar to the Japanese have left or are in Singapore. A whole new generation of bumiputra Malaysians has been brought up with an entitlement mentality started by Mahathir himself. How is Mahathir going to remove this and make Malaysia a competitive society based on merit, hard work and contribution, not based on race? To do so he would need to go back to year zero, the year he became PM of Malaysia. Mahathir needs to erase everything from his old drawing board and start anew.
Would those who have had it so good, without having to work, allow this to happen? Where is the incentive to work when there is no need to work to become millionaires and billionaires?

Trump Kim Summit - The day after
Trump-Kim summit sets new 'error' in Singapore's history
This headline appeared in an article in Yahoo News by Nicholas Yong. Both pictures are from Yahoo News. Hopefully after spending $20m on this Summit, the Americans would now know that Singapore is not a part of Malaysia. Vivian needs to explain this to the State Dept officers in his next trip to the US. Obviously he did not tell them that Singapore is an independent city state during his trip to the US last week in preparation for the Summit.
Thankfully they did not write Singapore, China.
And hopefully the Brits, our ex colonial masters, would now know that Sentosa is a smaller island south of Singapore main island and not another name for Singapore. And they should not gasak buta in pasting the names of Shangri La Hotel and St Regis Hotel in Sentosa Island without bothering to check their accuracy. The work ethics of the Brits have degenerated so badly that no one would believe they once owned an empire.
What is happening now is that the armchair critics are out in full force trying to rubbish the meeting and the agreement signed, that there is a lack of details. In a Summit like this when so many things are involved, when nuclear weapons and facilities are involved, they expect all these to be in the document signed. Do they know how complex are the issues and processes of denuclearisation? Is it a one way denuclearisation or the Americans also have to remove all their nuclear weapons from the Korean Peninsula?
Another silly comment from the critics is that they don't trust the North Koreans, claiming that they have torn away agreements before. Do they know the reasons why the North Koreans were so frustrated that they had to do so? Did they hear what Iran's advice to the North Koreans, 'Do not trust the Americans'?
The silly critics are taking a position that only the North Koreans walked away from agreements and the Americans are honourable and always honoured their agreements. Where did they come from, Mars? Did they read the papers and know that the Americans have been doing exactly what they are accusing the North Koreans of? Paris Climate Change Agreement rings a bell? TPP rings a bell? Nafta and G7 agreements or disagreements ring a bell?
Have they watched any of the Hollywood production of cowboys killing Red Indians and Red Indians saying white men spoke with fork tongues? And many of these silly critics are Asians who speak and think as if they are white men. I can expect the white men to be wearing coloured lenses and not wanting to see their own faults and flaws and not wanting to admit them, but silly Asians, bananas are doing the same thing.
No wonder Asians would always be ruled by the white men. It is in their blood that white men are superior, like white gods. Ang moh tua kee.
