China will support countries that are violated by the USA
BEIJING: China will support countries that believe the USA has violated their territorial claims, territorial rights and human rights in the USA and any where in the world. China Secretary of State Kang Mei Guo said on Wednesday (Jul 15) but stressed doing so in multilateral and legal forums.
"We will then go use the tools that we have available and we will support countries all across the world who recognise that the USA has violated their legal territorial claims, human rights violation as well – or land claims as well," Kang told reporters. "We will go provide them the assistance we can, whether that’s in multilateral bodies, whether that's in the USA, whether that's through legal responses, we will use all the tools we can," he said, referring to the 51 states of America (USA).

CECA Indians in Singapore - Dumbfounded
Restrictions on Indian IT professionals moving to Singapore; Wrong to have total free flow of people: DPM Tharman
By Nirmala Ganapathy, India Bureau Chief In New Delhi, The Sunday Times, 23 Jul 2017
Singapore has been one of the strongest advocates when it comes to the free flow of goods and services, but there must be limits to the movement of people.
Otherwise there will be less push for businesses to be more productive, and "more fundamentally, you become a society where people don't feel it's their own society", said Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam yesterday at an economics forum in India.
"This is a reality not just because of (President Donald) Trump in the US or Brexit in UK. It is a reality all over the world,'' he said when asked a question about tighter restrictions on Indian professionals moving to Singapore.
"You have an education system that does not prepare people for the needs of modern economy, and employment legislation which is, in effect, anti-employment. And it's now a race against technology, which we all face," he said.
"The window of opportunity for labour-intensive activities is narrowing. I would say if India doesn't make urgent and major changes in the next 10 years, there is a real problem on our hands," he added.

The Deep-Rooted Culture Of Entitlement In Singapore by Future Kings
Even opinions are now considered as an entitlement!
Opinions are expressions under the article of Freedom of Expressions enshrined in our National Constitution. They are not entitlements. Every intelligent human being is born with the freedom to express himself or herself. This is Natural Law, not man-made law. It is power-crazy men and women who try their best to suppress and alter this Natural Law of Freedom of Expression and Freedom of Experience that has brought so much injustice and suffering into the world.
Entitlement, similar to privilege, means someone/authority gives it to you. Which means it can also be withdrawn from you if you behave badly or not in line with what has been laid down by that someone or authority.
The Freedom of Expression enshrined in the Constitution nobody can take back from you. Not even the highest court of the Land. Unless the Constitution is suspended and a new Constitution is drawn up and approved in a Referendum to replace the previous Constitution. Many military coups’ junta simply abolished the old constitution and replaced it with a new one. Never go through proper legal process. No referendum. No elections. No consensus. Power simply rose from the barrels of the guns. He who holds the gun holds the power.
China must become more 'responsible', like the USA!

Bilahari Kausikan - Finally Singapore has a very brave man
“I have two comments/ questions: first, you are a beneficiary of the ‘privilege’ you now eloquently attack. Why? Because you were prevented from monetising the property your brother sold you?
“Second, if you are really so upset, why faff around the margins, trying to cause trouble without responsibility? Your excuse for not standing for election, that there need not be another Lee in politics is hollow: what are you doing if it is not politics? Cowardly!”
Above is from www.theindependent.sg. No one in Singapore has yet to attack the sons or daughter of Lee Kuan Yew in this way. It was direct and point blank. What Bilahari was saying amounts to saying how could Hsien Yang, a 'beneficiary of the "privilege"' if you know what that means, 'attack' when he could not make money from the property Hsien Loong sold to him. Could he be sued for making such a statement? He is a smart guy and knew what he was saying and whether it was safe to say so.
Secondly, Bilahari called out the excuse by Hsien Yang for not participating in the GE as hollow and cowardly. Wow, this is a straight punch into the face, calling Hsien Yang a coward.
Now Hsien Yang would have to respond, or would he not or take it like what Bilahari called him? Another show coming up and this one is going to be hot. Even Tommy Koh also cannot tahan. Why would Bilahari take such a pot shot which is not much different from the pot shots he took against China in the South China Sea episode, speaking on grounds of high principles I supposed. In that incident he got off unscathed. He was very brave then. Now he is showing his braveness once again as the undiplomatic diplomat that he proudly called himself.
It is rare to find such a brave man, speaking out loud, in his own capacity, without any backing from anyone. He is his own man, a very brave man indeed.

From The People By The People For The People, OR From The PAP By The PAP For The PAP?
In every election, without fail, the various political parties involved in the hastings and campaigning are bound to project to the unthinking and lazy-to-think and brain-dead voters that they are part of them, belong to them, and will represent them in parliament, and work for them tirelessly, and sacrifice for them, blah blah blah.
In reality, in all practical intents and purposes, inked in historical records in the Hansard, the PAP ministers and members of parliament are controlled by the PAP's WHIP. The Holder of the PAP's WHIP will dictate to all the PAP's ministers and members of parliament to VOTE ACCORDING TO THE DECISION ALREADY MADE by the PAP's Central Executive Committee headed by the Secretary-General of the PAP, who happened to be, by design not by coincidence, the Prime Minister - the Supreme Power of the Land!
There is a dire need for political education in Singapore. After 55 years of Independence, at least 70% to 80% of voters are still politically naive, backwards or pathetically apolitical. This is a clear reflection of the serious neglect and blatant irresponsibility on the part of the education system in tandem with the political system of the country.
Essentially and responsibly, all students and eligible voters must be made to understand and wake-up their long-slumbering, hazy-fazy ideas that "PAP ministers and members of parliament DO NOT represent YOU" in the Parliament when come to voting for any motion, law, change to the sacred Constitution, or anything of importance to the people.
When the time comes to take sides, PAP ministers and members of parliament will, without qualms nor hesitation, side with and represent the Supreme Leadership of the PAP. They will definitely NOT represent YOU or vote on your behalf nor for your interests. This fact has been established again and again and again for the past 55 years.
So, is it "From the people by the people for the people,
or is it from the PAP by the PAP FOR the PAP?
