When the Philippines and other parts of the world are falling victims to swine fever, the Americans proudly announced that they have perfected the vaccine for it. What a coincidence, what perfect timing.
There is a saying that all the computer viruses were developed and inserted into the computer systems by developers of anti virus softwares. Any truth in this? Who are the biggest beneficiaries to a world full of computer viruses with new ones being created daily in a never ending race of new viruses and new anti viruses. And who is benefitting from it and who is paying for it?
Why would people work full time to develop computer viruses? Are they being paid and who is paying them for their hard work? And why are govts and international bodies and organisations seemed to be hapless against this bunch of mischief makers, apparently unable to deal with them and allowing them to continue with their game of destruction and reconstruction and the poor innocent victims, the computer users, paying for their mischief forever?
The swine fever, bird flu, now the coronavirus, Sars etc etc, some people and countries are suffering and paying for them. But some countries are profiting from them and who knows who is behind these mischievous diseases and benefitting from them like the creator of computer viruses and computer anti virus systems.
There is no proof to support any of these suspicions, so to some, these are wild allegations, fake news, rumour mongerings and should be punished. Who should be punished while the devils are laughing to the banks? And the victims would have to seek help from the devils, pay for it and be very grateful for it.

Wuhan virus - Can China avoid this 21st Century Genocide?
As the Wuhan coronavirus story unfolds, the earlier innocent suggestions that the virus came from a wildlife market in Wuhan, a natural accident that could happen anywhere becomes more doubtful. While the politically correct and conservative thinking would like to suggest, believe and try to find the cause of this very serious spread of a very infectious virus to mother nature, it is not unfounded to suspect that this virus is man made to inflict very severe damage on human lives to the point of a genocide at a scale never seen in human history. Yes, it is extremely difficult to put a link to an evil source, that this is a result of an evil and wicked intent. Nevertheless, the suspicion that this is something very sinister and not the act of mother nature cannot be ruled out. It is also very difficult to prove scientifically that this comes from the wild, from animals and birds. So far every suggestion and guess is pure speculation.
Imagine the consequences if China mismanaged this epidemic, slow in reacting to the virus and did not lock down Wuhan and Hubei, now knowing how fast the virus can spread, and how deadly it is, today we would not be seeing 10,000 infected cases and a few hundred death. Today we could be seeing millions infected and hundreds of thousands dying, people falling in the streets of China, in every city and villages in China. This is how deadly and fearful this epidemic could have become. The entire Chinese Civilisation in China could be gone in a matter of months, and bringing along the entire human civilisation around the world.
If not properly and effective managed quickly, the death toll could be in the hundreds of millions or billions. This is not rumour mongering but a stark reality that could happen. Fortunately China took very tough preventive measures to control the rapid spread of this virus. The question is whether this is enough, fast enough to prevent an explosion of the disease. The world is still holding its breath as to how widespread has the virus gone and how best to cope with it to contain it.
When I mentioned some of the numbers I quoted from American reports about more than 100m native American Indians being wiped up by diseases planted into their villages, no one could believe the figures. How could so many American natives be wiped out from the north American continent? We are now witnessing the beginning to a possible genocide greater in severity, greater in the number of death than the biggest genocide in human history in north America, the wiping out to near extinction of the native American Indians. It is not impossible to wipe out the Chinese Civilisation in China by diseases. It has been done in north America, to the native American Indians.
How close are we to another genocide of a proportion that is unimaginable in human history? Is this genocide containable, preventable with the efforts of the Chinese govt and the govt of the world? Are we going to see an end soon or is this just the beginning of a nightmare for human civilisation?
Be frighten, be very frighten. This is a very serious threat to human civilisation that can go very wrong. For the moment things are looking well under control as the spread outside Hubei, outside China is not running wild. Many specialists inside and outside China are frantically testing out vaccines to counter this virus. Today's medical science are more advanced than the days when native Americans were terminated. Today there would be national and international efforts to fight this virus unlike the hapless native American days when help was non existence and not available and they were left alone, defenceless, to die from European diseases they had no natural immunity.
Pray that this demonic curse will be contained and put to an end and be a reminder to anyone playing with fire (chemical and biological weapons) that once started, and if mismanaged, the world human civilisation could go with it just like the wild fire in Australia, but very much worse.
May the worse be over.

The future for Singaporeans is downgrading
And I must not just talking about downgrading from private homes to HDB, from bigger HDB flats to smaller HDB flats. There was a recent report in thenewpaper praising and glorifying university and polytechnic lecturers being inspired to take lower paying jobs in nursing. And we have courses to teach our graduates how to become hawkers. Soon there will be courses to teach our graduates how to become taxi drivers and security guards.
In contrast, every third world wildlife coming here is upgrading, from joblessness in their home countries to high paying full time employment in Singapore, from low paying jobs to higher paying jobs, from homelessness to homeowners. Singaporeans on the other hand are directed to take on low skill jobs, low technical jobs, while foreigners, many poorly educated, with fake papers, are taking up high tech and computer related jobs. Funny isn't it?
No, this is not funny at all. This is a very serious problem affecting many Singaporeans today and tomorrow. The Singaporeans are turning into dodo birds, obsolete, unskilled and unemployable in their own country and wildlife of dubious backgrounds and often half educated or with poor or fake education papers are taking over their lives and their country.
This is a very serious problem that cannot be ignored. It is systemic and existential. Does anyone know this? I think not, I think everyone, I mean Singaporeans, is taking this as a natural state of affair, that this is the fate of Singaporeans, despite their very expensive education and supposedly people from a first world country, losing out to third world wildlife and cannot do anything about it, and in the process would eventually lose their country as well.

Hsien Loong - "We are open, but this is our home."
"We have to bring this down in terms which individual Singaporeans
can relate to, in terms of their lived experience – at work, in the
community spaces, in the crowd which they meet, in that they feel that
they are taken care of and in Singapore, this is a Singapore for
Singaporeans," said Mr Lee.
"We are open, but this is our home."....
"Many companies which are breaking new ground, which are at the leading edge, are like that, and we want them," said Mr Lee.
"But when they come to Singapore, and they employ 40 per cent of Singaporeans, or even 60 per cent of Singaporeans, and you will see that many of your colleagues are not Singaporean. Your boss may not be Singaporean, certainly, your owner may have been a Chinese or Vietnamese or Thai or Indonesian start-up, then you will say, 'why is it here?'," said the prime minister. CNA
After so many years of silence and taking the Singaporeans for granted by flooding the island with foreigners and allowing foreigners to determine the fate of Singaporeans in employment with many now jobless or under employed, and with the opposition parties bringing this up as a major source of unhappiness, the govt is now trying to control the damage. Question is whether the damage has gone too far and too widespread that it is too late to do anything meaningful.
Based on the above comments that foreign companies are employing 40% or 60% foreigners and the rest Singaporeans, I think Singaporeans could accept this. The truth is that many foreign and local companies are filled with foreigners, some more than 80% and nothing is done about it.
The govt must act and not just use words to appease the badly affected Singaporeans. This is our home, our only home, and we must not lose it to foreigners under stupid schemes and excuses. Most Singaporeans would have no where to run, cannot afford to work overseas to earn cheap pay and cheap currencies.
So, is the stupid 6.9 million and more population policy still business as usual? Is Singapore going to be the home of foreigners called new citizens or new Singaporeans?

Another fake news opportunity for the Americans
A
US military jet crashed in mountainous territory in eastern
Afghanistan, where there is a heavy Taliban presence, the Pentagon
confirmed Monday, rejecting the insurgents' suggestions that it was shot
down.
Afghanistan
US Forces spokesman Colonel Sonny Leggett confirmed in a statement that
the aircraft was a US Bombardier E-11A, a type of jet used as a
military airborne communications node in the region.
"While the cause of crash is under investigation, there are no indications the crash was caused by enemy fire," Leggett said.
Leggett gave no information on casualties in the crash.
Earlier,
a Taliban spokesman said the plane had crashed and there were no
survivors, but another version of the statement from the insurgents said
they had brought the plane down. Yahoo News
Which part of the above is true and which part is fake?
Was the plane shot down by the Taliban? The Americans said no, probably fell off the sky by itself. The Taliban said they shot it down.
Were there any Americans killed? American version likely no casualties. The plane is a drone, no pilots, no aircrew and no passengers.
The Taliban said no survivors, all on board killed.
So, who is lying and who is telling the truth? Can Pofma be issued?
PS. Latest, two bodies were found on the wreckage.The Americans killed in the Middle East and West Asia deserved to be killed. They could have a good life in their homeland but chose to go to war to kill the poor people in these regions. The more Americans got killed the better, to teach them that there is a price for waging wars and killing other innocent people.

Wuhan Virus - Singapore's vulnerability
SINGAPORE
— Singapore’s economy will definitely be impacted by the Wuhan
coronavirus outbreak, with the tourism-related sectors being of
immediate concern.
In
a multi-ministry press conference on Monday (27 January), Minister for
Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing said that this includes travel agents,
as well as the food and beverage, retail and hospitality sectors. Yahoo News
The Wuhan virus must have rung a bell in many people's head. Obviously it didn't. Singapore is still thinking it is a small matter. Well, our tourist industry will be hit and some people's jobs and business may be impacted. This kind of thinking is similar to the desire for nuclear energy, nuclear power station. It is small problem and should be ok. The Fukushima disaster, not fully disclosed and many serious consequences covered up, also did not ring a bell. If Fukushima meltdown would be to happen in Singapore, where would Singapore and Singaporeans be?
The closing down of Wuhan and several major cities in China, including Shanghai and maybe Beijing is small matter. What would happen if Singapore has to close down? Small matter, only the tourist industry be affected?
What lessons can Singapore learn from this Wuhan virus incident? Would Singapore still be happily opening up its legs wide wide and inviting everyone from all the dirty corners of the world to come here and reside and sleep and play and work with fellow Singaporeans? Not to worry, nothing bad will happen to Singapore. All the bad things can only happen in other countries, especially in China, never in Singapore. All the viruses would die after their carriers drink our shit water, oops, Newater, our cure all for everything. See, the facts have proven that Singapore is safe and clean after so many millions of potential deadly disease carriers have come and gone. No contagious disease or virus dare to attack Singapore and Singaporeans.
Can Singapore afford a slip, an unfortunate incident like the Wuhan virus or some slum virus from remote villages in some third world countries and think life will go on as usual? Anyone ever ponder what would happen if another virus or disease that spreads as easily and quickly as the Wuhan virus find its way here and Singapore has to close down?
Our health checks at our entry points have been so casual and relax, so easy to move in and out to the credit of our open leg policy. Just keep the fingers crossed and all will be well. There is nothing to worry about. It will not happen to Singapore.
What would it be like if someone with a very infectious disease travels in our very crowded trains?

Silent Cultural Revolution in Singapore
What was the Cultural Revolution in China in the 1966?
In 1966, China was engulfed with the fire of revolution with young Red Guards running wild all over the country attacking and arresting people, humiliating and punishing people branded as revisionists. The crime of the victims was mainly due to their intellect, the educated and worse foreign educated elites, the professors, engineers, academics, administrators, scientists, anyone with higher education was a target. It was destruction of everything related to knowledge, science and technology. It was the Road to Mediocrity when farmers and peasants were glorified. It was good to be poor. And China went back to Year Zero by the time the Cultural Revolution ended in 1976 with the death of Mao and the arrest of the Gang of Four.
Is Singapore also on the Road to Mediocrity? Is there a silent Cultural Revolution to frown upon excellence, to promote mediocrity, to encourage every student to be mediocre, be average is glory, top schools and top students should become unknown and unheard off? Do not mention about top schools and top students getting straight As. Popularise and glorify the average students as the good stuff, the way to be, be proud to be average and be ashamed if one is top of the class!
How long have the name Raffles Institution, Hwa Chong Institution been blanco from the media like it is a crime to mention them? When O level and A level results were released, not a whisper of the top students from the top schools? Why? Should these top talents be arrested, humiliated and send to work in the farms? Oops we don't have enough farm land to house them, maybe send them to neighbour countries? Send them for reeducation camps to tell them that to be good in their studies, to be top students, to be highly qualified graduates from the best schools and universities are bad, not to be seen, not to be heard. Oh, we can send all our top graduates to become cab drivers and security guards as part of their reeducation stint like the intelligentsia of China during the Cultural Revolution. Can also become hawkers to learn what it is like to do manual work and to be poor.
Singapore does not need Singaporeans as top talents. We cannot offend the parents of the average students and the pride of the average students. We must make the average students happy, their parents happy by glorifying them and shun the top students. We can import all the top talents from third world countries to fill the top positions in the industries and govt ministries. Like that all the average Singaporeans would be very happy. See, no arrogant top students and their happy parents on the main media to make the average students and their parents unhappy.
Now when did I get this idea? I came across this article in thenewpaper on 22 Jan titled, 'MOE launches pilot study to drop selection trials for CCAs'. In the article there were a couple of phrases that prompted me to think again. The first paragraph of the article reads, 'In its latest push to encourage children to pursue their interests and focus less on performance, the Ministry of Education(MOE) will look at dropping selection trials for co-curricular activities(CCAs). Another comment about the National School Games for young children, 'Last year, it tweaked the National School Games(NSG) junior division (for pupils aged nine to 11) to give children, even the less skilled, a chance to compete. Among the changes were removing individual events in some sports and rewarding participation instead of finishing first. The bold emphasis were mine.
To reward mediocrity, reward communal activities, punish individual excellence are exactly what the Cultural Revolution of China was all about. Instead of in search of excellence, this is promoting mediocrity, levelling down to please the mediocres. Is this the road forward for Singapore? Why is the MOE peddling to the cries of the parents of the average and in a way sidelining the talented and individual pursuits for excellence? Is this what we get from the millionaires, brilliant ideas that millionaires could come up with?
What is wrong with excellence? What is wrong with wanting to be the best? Is it shameful to be top students, top talents? Should not then that the media stop glorifying our universities as world top universities, stop crowing how good we are and hide under the cloaks of mediocrity?
