The demands on our children are so out of this world. No children in the
world are subject to what our children are exposed to, expected to, in
our education system and social norms. They are not only expected to
score straight As in schools, but to excel in sports, in ECAs, even in
trying to make money, to think like business people and entrepreneurs,
to be able to dance, to sing and to appreciate the arts, in sports. What
else do we need our children to do to be a better person and to compete
against the world?
And the poor parents are not spared either. They need not only to spend
the time and money, yes, some are really poor to pay for all the extra
costs needed to bring up our children as the most well educated people
on earth. They need to spend time to monitor the progress of their
children personally. Leaving them to third world maids would not do
unless they want all their effort and sacrifices go the third world
ways.
But these are not all that our children are faced with. After coming out
from the ‘best’ education system with a string of ECAs, they would need
to compete with children that do not need to know or appreciate arts,
no need to be an all round super kid, just passed their village
examinations, real or by cheating, in order to be hired by the
foreigners now in our local companies doing the recruitment with unfair
biases for their own kinds, or be assisted by foreign recruitment agents
and placed for jobs in our local companies, including ministries and
GLCs, neglecting our super kids from our very expensive education
system. Some even have to spend money going overseas to experience what
is being overseas thinking that it would be an advantage.
The foreign kids need not be super kids, need not be worldly wise, just
street wise, to beat our expensively schooled kids and get the jobs,
stole the jobs from our kids, deprived our kids from the good jobs that
they paid a small fortune in our education system and hoping to land in
one.
Why are we so unfair to our kids? Oh, wait a minute, our poor kids still
need to ‘waste’ one and a half to two years running up hills and
bashing through jungle terrain before they can start to look for a job
that the foreign kids need not have to. Why are we doing this to our
poor children, and smugly telling them that they have to compete with
the rest of the fucking world?
You do not need the devils if you have such wicked morons ruling and
ruining our lives and the lives and future of our children. Maybe some
of these morons are thinking that our children should not be working as
their parents are all millionaires, and their lives are meant to live
and play, education is just for fun, to be a well rounded person, not to
look for job

American fake news – Trump flattering himself that he would win the trade war
Trump can do no wrong. In his trade negotiations with China, Trump has
all the winning cards and he carries a big stick. China is sure to lose.
So he thought. The Americans must be tough on China, so said all the
American politicians. America must negotiate from a position of
strength. China is suffering, the American economy is flourishing. China
needs a deal, the Americans do not. China is paying for the additional
tariffs and Trump is collecting billions from China so that he can spend
it on his farmers and help other poor countries by selling them more
arms.
These are the fake news the Americans want China, the rest of the world and the American people to believe. The Americans are winning in this trade war, China is losing, soon China will be begging on its knees, the Chinese economy will collapse. The Chinese have no cards to play, they cannot win. They are stupid, the Americans are so smart. The Americans are in control of everything and calling the shots.
The American economists are telling a different story. The Americans consumers are paying for all the hikes in tariffs. The importers are paying for the tariffs, not the Chinese sellers. And the cost of tariffs would be passed down to the ordinary American consumers. The Chinese could lower their price a little and even devalue the Yuan to counter the tariff hike. So who is the winner eventually?
Trump does not need a trade deal? What has Trump achieved so far? His Great Wall of America is failing, no trade deal with China, no denuclearization deal with North Korea, Europe is furious and turning towards China and Russia. Canada, after being made use of in the Huawei affair is angry with the Americans, the Arabs are angry with the American support for Israel and the seizure of Jerusalem. The 5 eyes partners and Europe are not listening and not following the American edict not to use Huawei. UK has just announced cooperation with Huawei in 5G technology. Americans would have to live with 4G or fake 5G technologies.
So, where is the achievement of Trump except fake rhetoric that he is winning and the whole world has to accept his bullying? What would happen to Trump’s presidential campaign if China and North Korea pull the rug beneath Trump’s feet and walk away from the negotiations? No deal! Trump won?
Chinese goods can be sold in all corners of the world. American goods can only be sold in richer countries that could afford to pay or be forced to pay for high priced American goods. Without the 1.4b Chinese buying American products, who is going to buy except being arm twisted by the Americans. The rest of the world cannot afford American goods. The Americans can only sell to themselves.
Trump is so clever, everything he is doing is right and the best, that he is winning in all fronts…except maybe impeachment. China just retaliated by raising tariffs on US$60b American goods. Let’s see how long can the Americans last paying more for everything they need without Chinese goods. The bully must be dealt with in the same way it tries to bully others and put in his rightful and proper place, to be ignored and forgotten.
The days when the Americans can go around bullying other countries are over!

Fake news law will help and promote innovation
Concerns raised – Today online
Google says Singapore's fake news laws may hurt innovation
"We remain concerned that this law will hurt innovation and the growth of the digital information ecosystem," said Google.
Google said fake news law may hurt innovation. I say rubbish. Google does not understand Singapore and how clever is our govt. They did not know how many manhours of great men and women were put into making this fake laws to make sure it does not hurt anything, especially innovation.
I think this fake law would be good, in fact very good for innovation. No fake innovations by fake innovators. Maybe this fake law would also target fake degrees and qualifications to keep the fakes out of Singapore. Now that would be great.
Come to think of it, which is more dangerous, fake news or fake degrees? Why no new laws to curb fake degrees and make it a serious crimes when there are so many fake degrees here and depriving Singaporeans from getting decent jobs?
Personally I think fake degrees are a clear and present danger, already hurting many Singaporean PMETs and now new young graduates.
Back to this innovation and digital information ecosystem thing. This fake laws come very handy and timely. The digital information ecosystem will also be protected from fake news and probably also fake degrees. So how can this fake laws be bad and against innovation?
Singapore will definitely be the place for digital information when all the fakes are kept outside of this island. Everything is genuine, no fake news, no fake talents, no fake degrees.
Now you understand how good this fake law is. Every law is carefully considered and crafted by the best talent money can buy. Fake news law is a blessing for innovation in this island. All innovations will be real innovations, not fake innovations. All innovators are real innovators and not fake innovators.
This fake news law is the best thing that can happen to Singapore.

Would you die for Singapore?
https://youtu.be/zot6r2SuksU
Above is a 8 minute clip posted by Matilah Singapura about Majulah Singapura, spoken by a young Singaporean. Frankly I do not understand what was the reason why he could not die for Singapore but willing to die for Singapore because of the word Majulah.
I do not know about how you people feel about dying for Singapore, about being a Singaporean, about Singapore as your country. My greatest misgiving is that this is no longer our country, when Singaporeans are treated as dispensable digits and should be replaced by foreigners with no qualms. For every two persons I met, one is a foreigner. In the train, I feel like I am a minority as practically everyone is a foreigner.
Do I want to die for a Singapore that I no longer think belong to Singaporeans? How many Singaporeans still feel passionately for this island and think this island belongs to Singaporeans?
Why is it like that? Have some asses diluted the glue, remove the glue that once held all Singaporeans together, and proud to be Singaporeans, to the present day when one no longer feels that this is our country, this is our home? When the politicians do not feel any sense of shame or guilt to tell you to fight for your lunch with foreigners they brought in to steal your lunch, where are the obligation and compulsion to want to die for this country any more? Foreigners that have no stake here except to make a living and whose loyalties are in their homeland, treated better than Singaporeans and with the audacity to demand equal treatment and rights of citizens which the govt thought are normal and acceptable? And the employment market are controlled and manipulated by foreigners at the detriment of Singaporeans! This is the new normal, a very sad state of affair. Sadder still, no asshole thinks he/she can do something about it for Singaporeans.
Majulah, going forward together or going forward with foreigners but Singaporeans are left behind? How many of you can feel connected with this guy? I can't.

Fake news - ’Glaring omission’
WP slams exemption of Govt from being sued for falsehoods under enhanced anti-harassment laws
Senior Minister of State for Law Edwin Tong argues that government officers can be held accountable in the usual forums, such as Parliament. He was responding to criticism that the Government is exempt from harassment protection laws.
Today online
It was reported that the Workers Party slammed the govt for exempting itself from the protection of fake news law. Is this normal, reasonable and the right thing to do? The govt is giving itself almost absolute power to sue and prosecute the people for making fake news and falsehood but exempting itself from being sued by the people. Where is the equity and fairness of this law?
In principle the law must cut both ways. Why give the govt the power to persecute but not to be persecuted, does this mean that the govt can make fake news and falsehood with immunity? Obviously not, and obviously no one would expect the govt to be spreading fake news and falsehood. So why the need to protect itself from being sued by the people with this exemption? The people in the govt are also human beans, not gods, and would commit the same carnal sins like every human beans, intentionally or otherwise.
Come on, the govt would not and cannot be expected to go so low to be spreading fake news and falsehood right? So, why not put itself on the chopping as well should it be found guilty of the same crime? Civil servants cannot be above the law and if they committed crimes by making fake news and falsehood they must also be sued or charged. No one is above the law.
The WP has a point in slamming the govt on this. The law is for everyone, people, civil servant or the govt. A crime is a crime.
HDB prices can only go up. True or fake news or manipulation?
CPF is not your money. True or fake news or manipulation? This remark was uttered in Parliament and greeted with approval by the applause and cheers from the MPs and ministers.

Official fake news - American myths and white lies they concocted and believed in
WASHINGTON—Current and former leading
lawmakers joined national security experts and freedom fighters on the
afternoon of April 9 for the first of a series of roundtable discussions
aimed at raising awareness about the magnitude of the Chinese Communist
Party’s multifaceted and intensifying effort to supplant the United States as the world’s dominant power and to discuss steps for countering it. This newly launched
“Committee on the Present Danger: China” (CPDC) met against the
backdrop of ongoing bilateral trade negotiations and rising concern—both
in this country and the Western Pacific more generally—about Communist
China’s economic warfare, military build-up and ever-more-aggressive
behavior....
U.S. Air Force veteran and Utah Congressman Chris Stewart, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, stated that China’s “intention is to dominate the United States and every other Western democracy,” that “they are moving methodically towards that goal,” and that “from the intelligence perspective there is nothing that I worry about more.”
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich described three ominous strategic victories Communist China has already secured: Its seizure of and effective control over the South China Sea; its empire-building inroads in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe; and its possibly irreversible ascendancy in the global 5G wireless market. He warned that we are “watching a revolution in strategic economic capabilities and a revolution in geographic location of power and all of it is being done while we sleepwalk.” He said, “This is going to be a long-term struggle between a civilization that believes in liberty and a civilization that believes in authoritarianism with Chinese characteristics.”....
Above is quoted from https://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2019/04/10/committee-on-the-present-danger-china-hosts-capitol-hill-roundtable-discussion-of-threat-posed-by-communist-china/
The above are the myths and lies that the Americans constructed themselves and madly believing in them and living in fear of them, real or imaginary. They see China like their own shadow, the shadow of the American Empire, dominating and controlling the rest of the world by their military presence in military bases all over the world, their mighty 11 aircraft carriers and huge nuclear arsenals used to threaten the rest of the world into obeyance. They have been doing this for the last few decades and can only see China as their mirror image, to be just like them when in reality China is far from it as a military power and bully with military bases all over the world to threaten and bully other states.
And they also used these myths and white lies to frighten the rest of the world of a China they fabricated and wanted the rest of the world to fear.
If only China is a little more like the Americans, would those silly little countries in Asia and the European powers dare to openly oppose and challenge China, even grabbing Chinese lands and islands as their own? If China is a shadow of the Evil American Empire, would the little European powers like England, France or even stupid little countries like Canada and Australia, or India, dare to sail their obsolete warships into the South China Sea in a comical show of force? China would simply sink them or drag them to Hainan or Shanghai and demand a ransom for their release like the Philippines used to do, or blow them up like the Indonesians did.
The truth, China's reclaiming and rebuilding of South China Sea islands were just doing the right thing as the islands were Chinese territories recognised by the US and UK and returned to China after the defeat of the Japanese Invasion. The sneaky Americans and the UK just simply pretended not to know about the agreements in Potsdam and Cairo.
The building of roads and railways to Africa and Europe is about building empire? Are these military bases, are these owned by China or the respective nations and used for trade?
And China's superior 5G technology is about dominance and control and empire building, but Google, facebook, twitter, GPS etc etc are not? China or any other country is not allowed to have advanced and superior technology than the Americans?
The Americans are very good at erecting their own strawmen and to fear the same strawmen they built and called them threats to their national security and their dominance as the unchallenged and only super power. The truth is that they would not want any country to challenge their undisputed world hegemony and Evil Empire, when they can call the shot and bully any country as they pleased. They see the Chinese threat because China is not going to let them bully for a day longer and would protect smaller countries from American bullying. That is what they really fear, no longer calling the shot, no longer able to bully other countries.
Who is going to call the fake news generated by the American govt as fake news, manipulation of people's thought as falsehood?
