[COVID-19 Virus] The Sinkies are fucked Thread.

[glockman]

No change in my tone whatsoever. I said the same thing here. https://www.sammyboy.com/threads/lo...-island-what-say-u.281838/page-2#post-3070435

How each person wants to react will be dictated by how they perceive the situation. I would go about my life normally as I know there are other things far more likely to kill me so why sweat over a virus that is relatively harmless. I go cycling on the streets for goodness sake. Here's a list of the ones that have not been as lucky as I have:

https://can.org.nz/article/new-zealand-cycling-deaths

I cycle because I enjoy it and I accept the risks. The last thing I would want is for the government to ban cycling because of the dangers.

Over the past few years there's been an average of 9 deaths per year - down from 30 in the 1970s. The list includes deaths involving a cyclist only (e.g. lost control, hit object).

When we ride our bicycles, we accept the risks. To minimise our risk, we wear our helmet, try to avoid busy roads, being near vehicles especially larger ones, observe our speed, and be extra vigilant at intersections.

With this virus, no one signed up for the risks. Because nearly everything that one does in a normal day is risky now. Shaking hands, touching a surface (door handle, lift button, etc), eating with hawker supplied utensils at the coffeeshop, being downwind or next to another person when he coughs.

Hence, it's different.

Anyway, it's only after this pandemic will we know the final tally. But right now, Covid-19 is public enemy No 1. And with good reason.

I do find Singaporeans quite arrogant right now. They are saying things like come back to Singapore. Singapore is good not like Europe.

So I would like to see Singapore fail just like they failed us at SGH in 2003.

Most of the upper middle-class and above can be arrogant, especially when they deal with people they deem to be of a lower class. And I would say the average sinkie is materialistic, competitive, stingy and easily green-eyed. This is why I only have a few good friends. Others I have told to fuck off from my life. Some wives and gfs included.

"Don't come back to sinkieland if you have a choice", this is what I tell the people who have emigrated or are studying in an overseas uni. "There is nothing here for you".

Don't be like that lah. They failed you, so you left and now you have flourished in Canada. I am happy for you and your family, I truly am. I wish I were in your shoes. But there's still some of us good guys left here, with our families. Stuck here for long haul.

I am sorry @glockman I hope you and the good bros here at SBF get through this crisis well.

But as you can see I am not wrong in my observation about majority of sinkies. It is hubris.

Thanks, got to get through it no choice. Hope you and your family stay safe too.

The sad thing is these lousy sinkies make lousy parents. Because their kids see and hear what they do, how they behave, how they treat people ...... and the next generation is fucked too.

It is the sinkie way of life.

There is some hope. If Singapore can have a big big wake up call an event horizon so to speak.

Lessons can be learned.

SARS did not affect most people to the extent it did some healthcare workers. This Covid19 might.

So let's see.

Logic still tells me Singapore's measures will fail.

Yes, SARS wasn't given the same exposure then. No social media and whatsapp. Most of us went about our daily lives unaware of the dangers. Or the hardship endured by frontline medical people.

I am concerned that they opted for herd immunity. I just hope we don't pay too high a price for it. AFAIK, the UK and Israel have mentioned they are using this method.

 

[ginfreely]

yah, they accepted the risks when they voted pap. I didn't, so I don't accept the risks!

You didn’t vote because you are a filthy Malaysian son of whore pretending to be sinkie. Right after GE2015 you are caught telling lie not knowing the color of the voting slip.

Nothing surprising. There are many Malaysians here that want to leech hdb jobs schools without conversion. It’s even in the news not that long ago that Malaysians self admitted to love to pretend to be sinkies after they do bad things.

But lately in the last one year there are more interest from Malaysians to convert to citizens after pap increased the school fees for PRs. Should have done that long time ago to stop leeches like @glockman.

Xia suay malaysian son of whore tell that to yourself ok. Someone that called insulting me slut whore mistress as his entertainment is surely a hypocrite criminal bully unfit to criticize sinkies on how they treat people.

 

[eatshitndie]

The average man on the street has no clue how healthcare system works.

This is why when they go to hospital they bang table want to be seen now operated on now.

Anyway good luck to Singapore.

in sg, healthcare means hellcare which translates to “hell can freeze over but i need my mc and medicine (plus cure) now!”

It's exactly the same with the Coronavirus if we venture out we accept the risks and we take steps to mitigate them by hand sanitising, avoiding crowds etc.

Those that don't accept the risks can stay home and the government can help them through.

I see no difference in the two scenarios.

The difference is now given the choice most people in Canada want to stay at home and ask the government to help them through.

Whereas in sinkieland people rather take the risks and ask government not to help them.

Lol!

If there's a lockdown, the RC's neighbourhood crime prevention teams would be on patrol to help the local police enforce the lockdown. I hope we'll be armed with truncheons and tasers.

 

[cheeyen]

When the triple digit spikes arrive in Singapore with more deaths, Singapore will be lockdown. It's a matter of time. PAP wants to take advantage of Covid crisis for a quick general election victory now. If the country is lockdown, how to have elections? Maybe they will lock it down after elections? Perhaps.
