POFMA, who is spreading fake news

'In the media statement, the SDP is being accused of using the false and misleading statements to “stoke fear and anxiety among local PMETs”.

“Given the current uncertain economic climate, it is understandable that some Singaporeans feel anxious about employment prospects and retrenchments,” the statement said.

“This makes it all the more critical that public debate on the important issue of jobs is based on accurate facts, and not distortions or falsehoods.

“These false and misleading statements by the SDP have a singular objective – to stoke fear and anxiety among local PMETs. It is important to set the facts straight so that Singaporeans are not misled.”...

One of the Facebook posts includes a graphical illustration depicting plunging local PMET (professionals, managers, executives and technicians) employment.

MOM said the illustration is false. According to its Comprehensive Labour Force Survey, local PMETs employment has risen steadily, from 1.17 million in 2015 to 1.30 million in 2019.

As a proportion of the total local workforce, the local PMET share has also increased from 54 per cent in 2015 to 58 per cent in 2019....

Another falsehood that MOM took issue with concerns a statement in the online article which said, “The SDP’s proposal comes amidst a rising proportion of Singaporean PMETs getting retrenched.”

MOM said that there is no rising trend of local PMET retrenchments. The number of local PMETs retrenched in 2018 was, in fact, the lowest since 2014. Local PMETs retrenched, as a proportion of all local PMET employees, has also declined since 2015.'

The above is quoted from YahooNews. The first paragraph is the govt statement accusing SDP of spreading fake news about local PMETS employment falling and unemployment increasing.

The next two paragraphs show the two points the govt is offended. One, local PMET share of employment has increased. Two Local PMET retrenchment or unemployment is falling.

So who is telling the truth, who is spreading fake news? The devil is in the details. Notice that the above arguments referred to 'locals' not Singaporeans. Was SDP referring to Singaporean PMETs or local PMETs? With the influx of foreigners, with many becoming PRs and classified as locals, ie as good as Singaporeans, a few hundred thousands of PRs are here fully employed to justify the statistics that local PMETs are fully employed. The next devil is the new citizens. How many are new citizens or have become new citizens in the last 10 or 20 years? True blue Singaporeans do not regard them as truly Singaporeans as many of them did not serve NS and are fair weather economic migrants. Period. They are here because the weather is fine and would scoot when things turn bad. They are here because of good jobs that pay well, good currency exchange rates, and easy to get by with fake and funny degrees and resumes.

SDP and Singaporeans should be discussing about the fate of Singaporeans, not new citizens and PRs under this big and blur and ambiguous thing called locals. The statistics should be about Singaporeans, the people that called this island our country, our home, the guys sacrificed their lives and precious years to perform NS and Reservist duties to safeguard this country. The PRs and new citizens, did they. Shit, why am I even talking about PRs that are not even citizens? 

Lets redefine the statistics, talked about true blue Singaporeans, not ambiguous term like 

'locals', then we would get a better feel of the pain and suffering of Singaporeans. The govt is voted into power by Singaporeans to serve the interest of Singaporeans, not 'locals' that are not Singaporeans.

Below is a comment in TRE on the seriousness of so many migrants coming to take over the country.

The liberal immigration policy of the PAP, which includes the large influx of foreign talents through various schemes like the CECA, can be likened to a non violent process of ethnic cleansing. Singaporeans you’re being overrun and your PAP leaders are happily playing the fiddle like Emperor Nero did while Rome was being burnt down.
Are you woke yet?

You cannot prove the GDP: If ground is very sour as we always perceived since last 3 GE,
HOW DID THE 70% COME ABOUT?
KEEP WATCH ON THE BALLOT

There is this high possibility.
So was said about the Cheng San election. No one knows.
A distinctive trait of any dictatorship is to cheat, lie and terrorize.

The above is a comment in the TRE about this unexplained or difficult to explain popularity of the PAP at the ballot box. 70% is quite assured for more than 4 decades.Going under 70% is seen as a loss to the PAP. But many on the grounds perceived that the ground is so sour, so many unhappiness. Then when election comes, 70% or more would vote for the PAP, the party that they saw as being inept, inefficient, overpaid and doing all the wrong things and harm to the country and people.

Why is this so? You have no choice but to believe the ballot papers. You have no choice but to believe that the election system is fair and transparent. You cannot claim otherwise. You cannot claim or insinuate that there is cheating, lying or terrorising as mentioned in the above comment unless you can prove it. Of course no one can prove these.

So the truth remains the truth. The facts must be real. 70% or more Singaporeans would like the PAP to rule over them forever come what may. Do not question facts and truths unless you can prove it. Being suspicious, when things just don't seem right is just an opinion, a feeling, cannot be truth till proven otherwise.

Beautiful Sarawak natives

These are some of the cultural dancers at the Sarawak Cultural Village that I took during my recent trips. Will post more over the next few Sundays for your viewing pleasure. It would be a pity if such beautiful and rich cultural heritage and legacies would to be replaced and covered up by black cloths from the Middle East.

Nuclear option - Desperation or suicidal tendency?

So much efforts and resources are required to put out one single fire in one single building! How much more efforts and resources will be required in a war where Singapore is bombarded with all sorts of bombs from the air and from long-range ground artillery weapons and missiles?

What about the idea floating around, as test balloons, to build a NUCLEAR Power plant in Singapore? (An indication of the suicidal tendency of some cancerous cells working very hard in someone's brain?)
December 11, 2019 7:02 pm

The above is posted by Frog Outside Glass in his comments on the fire in Tuas yesterday. He said '
It took about 130 Fire-fighters and 34 Emergency Vehicles to put out the fire after 6 hours.' This is how big the effort was to bring down a fire of a factory. If it were a fire in a nuclear station, what would happen? There have been a few nuclear accidents that resulted in the closing down of the area around the nuclear station that were many times bigger than this island, ie, when there is a nuclear disaster in Singapore, if we are brave or foolish enough to play with it, there is no where to run.

Singapore has a lot of very brave men and women that are still toying with the idea that we should and could have a nuclear station in the future. Maybe too much money have been spent in this project and disbanding the organisation and staff is too costly and very wasteful and maybe a lost of pride for making such a failed decision. Maybe it is desperation for want of a better reason that die die must have a nuclear station. Or maybe as suggested by Frog Outside Glass, these people have a suicidal tendency, not the people in the island. Or maybe they think they could scoot off first before the disaster and feel very safe to risk the life of all the people in the island.

Whatever, human problem cannot be avoided. Whatever can go wrong would go wrong. But when people are too clever, think they are too clever, they will throw caution to the wind.  When successful in their life time, no accident, they will claim glory for themselves. When disaster happens, they would not be around to answer them.

What do you think? A good and clever idea to have a nuclear station in this piece of rock? Why would we need such a power source? Why are we so desperate for it? Why? Because some idiots wanted to squeeze 10m, 20m people on this island? Is this necessary?

USA, A Rogue State & CIA A Terrorist Organisation: PART ONE

     USA is a rogue terrorist state and CIA a terrorist organisation, and they should be labelled as such by the United Nations and the world.

In the past White European invaders justified their conquest of foreign lands and killings and massacres of the natives all over the world with its militant religious doctrine, "The Doctrine of Christian Discovery " which claimed that their Christian god gave them the divine right to acquire non-Christian lands and to kill heathens or non-believers of their faith. The United States now claim the right to world domination as god ordained for white Americans world hegemony under their several new doctrines viz, "America's Manifest Destiny". American Exceptionalism, American Essentialism and American long arm jurisdiction of extraterritoriality which arrogantly claims that American laws supercede or over ride all international laws or foreign domestic laws.

Since the end of the Second World War US browbeat much of the world with fear of communist and psychoed them to believe that they need the US to protect them from the Russian communist. They cajoled countries to buy US weapons and allow US military and business corporations to operate freely in their countries and allow US government veto power over the choice of their leaders so that the US will be able to protect them.

That was a brazen 'protection racket'. The obvious truth is that US wants to interfere in other countries affair not so much as to help them but to use them as a  Cold War tactic to challenge Russia and China.

US national policy and psyche emphasize the picking of US leaders both politicians and military personnels base on the criterion that they must have the trait and willingness to be inordinately cruel and remorseless otherwise they cannot hold positions of leadership in the foreign policy establishment. This criterion will also be used in the in the picking and selection of US military leaders, CIA officers, president or vice president of US, the secretary of state or defense, national security advisor, attorney general or secretary of the treasury.

Further the Americans are educated to believe that there is nothing wrong in toppling foreign governments which do not obey US dictates, quashing anti-US revolutions or mass bombing of foreign people so long as it serves US interests and "national security". In short all Americans including journalists and mass media are expected to give unqualified support to all US military adventures overseas no matter what without having to ponder over the legal or moral justifications, the effect on democracy, freedom or self-determination or the high degree of terror, pain and  suffering and wanton destructions resulting from such US violent aggressive wars.

The US government then use the mass media both in US and worldwide as all media in US or worldwide are controlled by US vested interests, the corporations to propagandize the rationalisation of their irrational wars of aggression and terrorism on other countries.

Just as Spain, Portugal, England, France and the Dutch of Holland, 500 years ago in the 16th Century based on their 'Doctrine of Christian Discovery' to rationalize the extreme cruelty of their conquistadors in inflicting on the indigenous natives of the New World America , the people were psychoed to accept that the Native American Indians were natural slaves created by their Christian God to serve the white invaders, now the US government is telling the white American people and the world that interventions all over the world is not only in the natural order of things as designed by their God but are actually good for their world of undevelop countries. This is twisted profundity with utmost arrogance and contempt of other people and in gross defiance of 'human rights' and moral decency. The United States obviously does not care a whit about human life, human rights and humanity.

According to William Blum, the author of the book 'Rogue State', refering to US, said, "US  foreign interventions show clearly that the engine of American foreign policy has typically been fueled not by a devotion to any kind of morality or decency but rather by the necessity to serve the imperatives of other masters which he quoted three categories.

(1)  " To serve the care and feeding of American corporations and the Deep State, making the world open and hospitable for neo-liberal globalization; enhancing the financial statements of defense contractors who have contributed generously to members of Congress and residents of the White House."

(2)  "To prevent the rise of any society that might serve as a successful example of an alternative to the capitalist model of US and the West."

(3)  "To expand the empire: Establishing political, economic and military hegemony over as much of the globe as possible to facilitate the first two imperatives and to prevent the ascendancy of any regional power that might challenge American supremacy."

America has adopted a policy of the ends justify the means. They will create falsehood propaganda to demonize other countries to justify their aggressions. During the Cold War they waved the banner of fighting a moral crusade and conned the people at home and throughout the world of the existence of the international communist conspiracy. It was a fraud for there was no such conspiracy except for the conspiracy of the US to deceive its citizens and the world for the sole objective to advance US hegemony over the whole wide world.Any problem, protest, opposition and demonstrations in US  was conveniently blamed on outside agitators.

Soviet Russia's military and economic strength was intentionally highly magnified by the CIA, the Defensive Department, the White House, Congress and the Pentagon to exaggerate the Russian communist threat. In reality Russia was unable and had no intention to confront the overpowering might of US. This was a fraud to justify the formation of NATO to bring the whole of western Europe under US full control and SEATO or CENTO to bring Middle East, Central Asia and South East Asia under US hegemony.

Also US has to regularly identify new enemies to serve its insidious purpose and direction. At the end of the day it is a fraud to benefit the managers or  powers in the National Security state to protect their jobs, to justify their swollen budgets, to aggrandize their work, to give themselves a mission in the aftermath of the demise of Soviet Russia, to send endless billions of taxpayers' money to the corporations and Pentagon Industrial Military Complex, for whom the managers or military generals will go to work after retiring or leaving government service. And for this they understand too well that they need to constantly fabricate new enemies.

No wonder the US always ignore and spurn Russia's approach for peace talks with a view to wind both the Warsaw Pact and NATO as that will take away US bogey to create an enemy to justify its aggression. In truth US never wants peace but intends on a path of permanent warfare to ware the enemies down with a view to eventually achieving US world domination and hegemony.

US propaganda department churns out perpetual state of fear of the enemy next door and arouse the people's patriotic fervour by fabricating grave national emergencies at home and abroad in order to solicit exorbitant funds of billions of dollars demanded for the Defense Department and the Pentagon.

In the corridors of the Pentagon Industrial Military Complex can be seen hang up slogans with bellicose inscriptions like, " Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival......... We must maintain the mechanisms for detering potential competitors from even aspiring to a large regional or global role."

Thus US has created for the enemies an essential sense of fear as the working force of deterrence and its foreign policy in essence clinically mad and dangerous.

As US is a rogue state and CIA a terrorist organisation posting great danger to humanity and the survival of this earthly world, they should be denounced and utterly condemned by the whole world via the United Nations.

SEA Games - Only 3 bronze medals. Asia Masters 16 golds, 12 silvers and 14 bronzes

'NEW CLARK CITY, Philippines: The lack of "stable governance" within the athletics fraternity has cost its athletes, said Singapore Sports Institute’s (SSI) head of high performance and athlete life Richard Gordon, following the sport’s poor outing at the 30th SEA Games.
“We’ve seen a decline in results over the past three SEA Games. We’ve done a lot of work behind the scenes in terms of trying to help (them) to stabilise,” said Mr Gordon at a wrap-up press conference on Wednesday (Dec 11)....

Singapore’s athletics contingent did not win a gold or silver at this year's Games. It bagged three bronze - two courtesy of Shanti Pereira in the 100m and 200m finals and one from Nur Izlyn Zaini in the 100m hurdles.'

The above is quoted in CNA. Singapore's athletes performed miserably in the recent SEA Games held in Manila, without a gold or silver medal. In another report by CNA, 'Team Singapore will send its biggest away contingent to the SEA Games this year, with 647 athletes from 48 sports, the Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) announced Thursday (Aug 1).'

I am not sure how many of the 647 athletes are in track and field events but the number must be quite substantial and the amount spent as well. In contrast, Singapore masters athletes competed in the 21st Asia Masters Athletics Championship in Kuching, Sarawak, about the same time and came back with 16 golds, 12 silvers and 14 bronze medals from a contingent of slightly more than 100 athletes.

And mind you, the masters athletes went there to compete, to represent Singapore, to fly the Singapore flag, without getting a single cent from the govt in subsidies. They paid for their own training, with coaches providing free services and advises, and they paid for their registration fees, hotels and air tickets and all expenses. The masters athletes self financed their participation in an international event, to represent their country and flying the Singapore flag in glory, from their very own pockets.

No one can claim this as money well spent but the masters athletes. When would the govt show its appreciation and support for the masters athletes for bringing fame and recognition to Singapore? In this particular event, the masters athletes did not even have track suits or running apparels issued by the state. They have to used old track suits and running apparels. Some have to borrow old track suits from other athletes just to take part in the march past during the opening and closing ceremonies to show that they are from Singapore.

Would the govt think it is better to divert some funds to support the masters athletes for their effort and the golds, silvers and bronzes they brought home in the name of Singapore than to spend millions on the athletes that could not even bring in a single gold or silver medal from the SEA Games after spending millions on them?

The next big masters event is in July 2020 in Toronto, Canada, the World Masters Athletics Championship. Would there be any funds from the govt to support this event and the masters athletes participating? Or would the masters athletes still be footing their own bills and paying for their own track suits with the word Singapore proudly embolden on them? Would the govt think it is more rewarding and better returns for the money spent, to support the masters athletes?

Supporting the masters athletes is value for money. Also to make good all the talks about appreciating the senior citizens, to stay healthy and active in the golden age. The least that the govt could do is to support the masters athletes at the same level as para athletes. Is this too much to ask?

CECA punishment for daft Singaporeans

'Josephine Teo tries to play down the job loss to Singaporean PMETs by saying it is causing anxiety, rather than admitting hardship facing us Singaporeans, who are now becoming Grab drivers to support their families.

After nearly 14 years into CECA, it is an undisputed fact that many Singaporean PMETs have lost their jobs to Foreign Talents. Under the CECA, visa regulations for Indian professionals in medicine, engineering, finance and information technology were relaxed, making it easier for them to work and migrate to Singapore. CECA also enable movement of persons between both countries, in particular, professionals employed in 127 specific occupations. Many Indian IT companies set-up in Singapore and exploited the “intra-corporate transferee” loophole so as to get more Indian IT workers to work here. They would hire them in India and then “transfer” them to their Singapore subsidiaries to work, without the need to hire any Singaporeans.

Singaporeans have just started to wake up, as their lunches are being taken away. Thousands of Civil Servants, who have supported PAP all these years, are watching their children and grandchildren struggling to secure a decent paying job or are reporting to Managers who are all Foreigners; a grim reminder of how our forefathers were working under their colonial masters to bring food to the table.
In the pretext to win votes in the coming election, as more native Singaporeans are now openly seen supporting Opposition parties....

In the upcoming GE, Singaporeans will be now looking up to Dr Chee, Dr Tan Cheng Bok, Pritam Singh and other Singapore sons to save our children from the damage caused by CECA and PAP’s liberal FT policy.

The views expressed in this letter do not represent the views of the editorial. Please send in your views to news@theindependent.sg

The above is part of an article posted in theindependent.sg. Singaporeans and their children are harshly and cruelly punished by this vicious one side trade agreement called CECA. Any MP that did not speak up against it does not deserve the support of the electorate and should be voted out for not looking after the interest of Singaporeans. They have been sleeping for 14 years. No, they have ignored the interest and well being of the Singaporeans for 14 years.

Some idiots claimed that this is not true, no Singaporeans have lost their jobs because of CECA and demand proof for saying this. When one is in power one can say anything, black is white and no one can say otherwise. How to prove this?

The damage is not simply the loss of jobs and income. The adverse effects are more than meet the eyes. Many Singaporeans have lost confidence in themselves, emotional and psychological distress and seeing themselves as failures, unable to support their parents for bringing them up, unable to support their families and children, unable to get a job is so intimidating and humiliating to the person as an individual. And to see the foreign thrashes coming in in plane loads and getting jobs so easily can be very sickening and hurting.

Many are suffering from psychological problems, the loss of self worth, hiding themselves at home, ashamed of themselves, no longer believing in themselves. The negative impact on these Singaporeans is unacceptable and unpardonable on those twits that signed this silly agreement against the interest of Singaporeans. This CECA agreement is as good as selling Singapore and the interest of Singaporeans for money. Singapore can be sold if the price is right. Singaporeans can go to hell, make way for foreigners in the name of money and economic growth. Some in this blog are also expounding the view that Singapore is more important than Singaporeans. Singaporeans do not matter, only the existence of Singapore matters.

Singapore, one of the four tigers of Asian economy built by Singaporeans, the best workforce in the world, now is facing a demoralised Singaporean workforce, being pushed around by third world pariah workers called talents by their own kind that brought them in. Can you believe this, Singaporeans being bullied and seen as useless and unemployable by the fucking foreigners that were brought into their own country by CECA?

How sad and pathetic when politicians could not see further than their nose except for the million dollar pay they are getting. As long as they can be paid their millions, who cares what would happen to Singapore and the Singaporeans.

Singaporeans must seriously think about replacing those people that want to replace them with foreigners. It is your future and well being that are at stake. Think carefully.
