Chitchat Aunty Ho's Gulfstream 550

[Papsmearer]

This blind, total, unquestioning faith in the PAP by the 70% has gone beyond religion; it is the highest form of state superstition.

At the least PRC got two things right: get religion out of the political equation, and remove the familial dynastic politics of China's feudalistic past. You don't see Mao or Xi struggling to pass on power to their kids.

We're still stuck in the feudalistic mode: a ruling family with the mandate of heaven governing the superstitious masses with a bunch of emasculated imperial scholars and appropriating the entire nation's resources.

We're royally screwed.

Don't forget the eunuchs in the civil service and Parliament.

In this life, they will probably enjoy all of the privileges of great wealth and power. Their judgement will come after their death when Singapore slowly becomes like Liverpool. The once proud Singapore people will have to leave Singapore to find work in other countries. They will learn what it is to be looked down upon much like in the way they look down on the ah nehs, ah tiongs and pinoys who come to Singapore to work.

.

its already happening. Refugees in their home country.

young graduates, pmets, poly grads, ites grads declaring them selves as freelancers,

working fulltime as uber / grab drivers for their FTs imports. sad. :(

I don't think those who went thru the early 80s ever envisioned Singapore sliding like this.

We laughed how TT Durai fooled the masses into donating tens and twenties on a monthly basis so that he and his Board of Directors flew first class around the World including Vegas, giving away contracts to his buddy in India that went into millions. He was shielded by the establishment.

Now we have same thing and now one has a clue.

I have had comments about this Gulfstream since Ken Jeyaretnam wrote in his blog being a fake story as ST Engineering Annual Report does not mention it. It buried so deep that there is no accountability.

It is not fair to say that it is because Singaporeans are daft or stupid.

The PAP achieved the 70% popular vote largely through the FT policy. There are currently 500,000 to 800,000 new citizen voters in Singapore. This is a solid vote bank that the PAP can count on no matter what happens. Through the HDB integration program, the PAP controls which GRC these new citizen voters belong to.If there is a weakening of popular support, the PAP has the power to increase this vote bank as desired so as to shore up support and ensure victory.

As unhappy as many Singaporeans are, their voice at the ballot box has long been taken away. For the next 15 to 20 years, the PAP will continue to win handsome election victories even as the economy continues its steady decline.

This of course cannot last forever. Eventually, the economy will decline to such a state where it is no longer economically attractive for foreigners to migrate to Singapore. At the same time, there will be concurrent emigration out of Singapore. This will be led by parents, anxious for the future of their children. The collision of these two demographic forces will result in a Singapore which looks very much like Liverpool with its large number of abandoned old buildings.

that is why singapore is doomed. Because the False God of Zikapore Lee Kuan Yew, and his family are still worshiped by 70% in the Church of the PAP and clearly not separated from State

Sinkies are neither daft or stupid. they are just cowards. The majority of sinkies are beholden to the PAP for jobs. a prudent govt. would have trimmed 20% of staff of the civil service ranks right off the bat. The uneccessarily large military and police also makes those employed by them beholden to the PAP. Not to mention all those employed in GLCs, etc. The sale of NOL was a warning shot to any sinkies dependent on the govt for their livelihood. Namely, a french company can come in, take NOL over, cut jobs, and return it to profitability. So, they better keep voting PAP or face an uncertain future. The govt apparatus is bloated. look at how many ministers there are in the PMO. They know that any attempt to rock the boat, vote in another party, etc might jeopardize their pay.

I don' think Singaporeans are daft or stupid. Old Man was certainly intelligent and very shrewd in the way he himself said that he knew the tipping point of Singaporeans and worked from there. He also knew that if they are owned homes albeit HDB, it means they are would not be in position to welcome uncertainty. We are one of the largest home owning countries ever.

It was case of tolerance and thus quid pro quo in the main. We accepted his detention of political rivals and the placing of very high insurmountable barriers to political participation by those genuine in the need to help Singapore. He also coopted anyone who was intelligent into the Civil Service and the PAP at an early age. Our Civil servants are the best paid.

And when we compare ourselves with any other 3rd world or even some of 1st World such as Portugal etc, we are streets ahead.

Singaporeans in a sense have been outmanoeuvred by a very smart and ruthless man. He made sure we had the best food money could buy, we can travel to any country for a holiday on any means of transport, we also can freely leave this country and by these measures, there was no need to fight the system. So instead of outright corruption in places like India, China, Malaysia etc, we have small group or minders and cronies to feed and captive press to keep quiet.

The smart ones who have the means will migrate and raise the kids in a much more fair and justice society.

With the son in place, the ball game has changed. The guy is not smart enough to control his wife and is not his father. He cut even convict his siblings. Things are falling apart as Chinua Achebe wrote in his book.
