Serious Great Article, says Gay Loong is lost diplomatically, and our neighbours hate us.

can suppork PNG or laos arnot?

You see Japan, China, Germany supporting Laos in their development of their financial sector, basic infrastructure, etc... Maybank already in Laos, where's OCBC/UOB?

Lots of PAP cronies made big money in those Chinese investments ...those were losing proposition, yet the PAP went all in.

Are you talking about cronies who are the real private business men type? They might be porlumpa here but they are still street smart business man.

John T was former President of the NUSSU and a vocal critic then. He forte is in IP and the last place you want to practice IP is in China, the counterfeit and fake good capital of the World. Japan as I understand has strong demand for it as the they have many innovative stuff rolling out.

the japs have better table manners and certainly the sashimi (raw) impressed him

China sees Singapore as a Chinese country. So do its neighbors in the populous Malay archipelago.

Indeed, everyone except the SG government sees Singapore as a Chinese country.

 

[Papsmearer]

Indeed, everyone except the SG government sees Singapore as a Chinese country.

The PAP know that if they declare Singapore a chinese country, there
will be racial riots by malays and indians tomorrow.

Singapore was already vulnerable. The city-state has been slow in adjusting its diplomatic strategy even as its Southeast Asian neighbors accommodate themselves to China's rising power.

This statement in the article made me realize one thing. How did singapore become so vulnerable? My firm believe is that that poor leadership of Gay Loong is to blame. If you look at Old fart's diplomatic style, u will see what I am talking about. Old Fart did not only attend state dinners and conduct state visits to all these countries, he actually seeked and forged a relationship with their leaders. For example, he considered deng Xiaopeng a personal friend. when he want to, he can be eloquent, charming, sincere, and your best friend. Look at some of his rally speeches in the early days. If deng and Old Fart were still alive today and lets say the Hong Kong custom mistakenly confiscated the terrex, a simple one on one personal call to Deng would have solved the problem. and Deng would have called the HKG governor on top of that to scold him too for taking the Terrex. But Gay Loong does not have this sort of relationship. Call it arrogance, call it hautiness, call it whatever you want, but this is missing from him. Its a character flaw.

When I look at many of Old Fart's friendships, I see that he does not tolerate fools gladly. but if you are an intellectual heavy weight and you impress him, he can be your best friend. He had so many close and personal relationships. Chiang Ching Kuo in ROC, Henry Kissinger (the old jew took the long flight out to attend his funeral), Margaret Thatcher, Suharto, Sultan of Brunei etc. Who is Gay Loong's close friend? Which leader is he on a first name basis? Which leader can he just pick the phone up and get things done one on one? The answer is non. Old fart was so close to the old sultan that he was made the current sultan's godfather. He was so close to Suharto that he was the only world leader that flew to Suharto's deathbed in Jakarta.

After over 20 years in Politics, who are Gay Loong's close political allies? No one. Its too late for him to make those relationships now. He is getting out at the next GE. he is a nerd, a book worm, and an introvert. Absolutely the wrong make to be a successful politician. because he never learned this art from his father, or rather, could not be bothered to change, he cannot pass his relationships on to the current leaders because there are non to pass along. This is why we are being increasingly marginalized and that is why we will get worse and worse.

But you know why he act like that? It is because of his parents. Especially the kind of no compromise type of parenting from his father.

The unwillingness to let them free, let them think for themselves, let them love. Let them understand that this society needs both the weak and the strong. Yin and Yang.

However his parents worshipped eugenics and social darwinism.

You see he and his siblings have dysfunctional families.

They were rumoured to disapprove his first medical doctor wife (after she gave birth to two children with genetic defects). Then she died in mysterious circumstances. LHL had to pick, meet and marry a woman with high qualifiications (like in the Chinese court dramas where the Dowager orders the emperor to pick a non-chiobu for empress due to her pedigree).

And his brother LSY again who married another woman with high pedigree (father is famous economist while she is a trained lawyer). But again dysfunctional, rumoured to be womanising. Both were ordered not to divorce by LKY and his wife.

And his sister LWL who in a way elope to UK with an Indian. Unapproved by LKY. They only made up in his later years. When she divorced the Indian and came back home.

LKY should loosen the reins on Singapore around mid 90s. However he is determined to build a dynasty. Continue to mind control, to use fear in banishing open discourse.

Unfortunately this is the legacy of LKY (no matter how smart how great he is as a political leader). Now leaving a country of morons (including LHL himself) who are under mind control, cannot think for themselves, brainwashed on the cuntry's achievements to the point of losing touch with reality (external disruptions from technology and politics), a SG50 cuntry where government has to mass import knowledge workers from entry roles to CEO level.

 

[Hans168]

to divert attention he now ask us to show appreciation to foreign workers.......... worked hard, left family, etc
fuck....... will they be here if pay no good? they shud be appreciative for being able to work here with free briyani and pinay pussies every weekends
Why dun LHL ask that appreciations be shown to those sgian who are made so disadvantaged by papigs????
Pay millions and get this type of leader always doing things against the wishes of sgian........ he thinks he is king until Eleven comes along and clipped his wings and stiched his mouth & arsehole

 

[Papsmearer]

It is difficult to see how Singapore can deepen its leadership of Southeast Asia without stepping back from its rather arrogant exceptionalism. It has spent decades leveraging the weaknesses of its neighbors rather than assisting in the buildup of their institutions.

This statement by Tremewan is 100% true. Its very sad to see an angmo with such insights into Zikapore. banging all those SPGs must have worked. Even Shit Times so call journalist will not dare to admit this in their most private moment, But I have seen evidence of this all the time. Zikaporeans like to look down on their neighbours all around them. Calling them lazy, stupid, dirty etc. They like to think they are such hot shit. Unfortunately, this kind of mentality was handed top down from Old Fart. Really, arrogant. When I was in the SAF, I encountered many officers, some my rank, and some higher. they were always laughing at the Malaysian army and their equipment. They thought the Scorpions the Malaysians had were useless and always throw track because that was what happened to the ones we trialed in Area D. yet they never considered the 90mm gun on that tank with a much better gunsight and ballistic computer would make mincemeat of our AMX-13. Nor did they consider that the Malaysian army actually deploys on UN missions overseas and actually has gotten into several firefights in Kosovo and Mogadishu among other places. They actually have combat experience and make their purchases based on their experiences. Our commanders only have NDP experience. In a real combat situation, which general will gabra first? The SInkie SAF scholar general or the combat experienced Malaysian one? This is a simple logical thinking, but it seems the sinkie mindset cannot wrap around it self that there is nothing special about them, and that they have only swallowed the PAP propaganda for so long that they actually believe it now.

Instead of spending $14 billion a year on weapons to scare and intimidate our neighbours, we could have build 5 of these.

Sail them all around SE Asia. Sail them to remoter parts of Indonesia, Phillipines, Vietnam, Laos, Borneo, India, etc. and offer free medical care for those in the mentioned countries that cannot afford them. hell, NS can be fulfilled by serving on those ships too. Imagine the good will among the people of these countries if we can go there and help them to see, and walk, and survive, all for free. How many friends will we have? How many countries will appreciate out generousity to help their people for free. How appreciative will they be if they suffered a Tsunami or some catastrophic event and a few days later 5 hospital ships from singapore arrive with supplies and medical attention and doctors. Will it not reinforce singapore as a medical hub? These ships could have been the best advertisement for medical tourism and medical education in singapore. Will it not show our neighbours that even though we might be a rich country, we will still help them without any agenda?

But oh now, we got to go with the weapons and we got to put the fear of violence into our neighbours. Now every one hates us and can't wait for their turn to fuck us. yes, hospital ships cost money to build and run, but so does a large military like we have. How fucking cheap was Old Fart? And how stupid.

A country can only progress if the best and the brightest are in charge with freedom of expression and exchange of ideas amongst the people .
Best and brightest does not refer to academic results but people who have proven themselves in their fields of endeavour eg Bill Gates, Henry Ford ect2 ,

This is missing in both China (communist country) and the red dot (one party authoritarianism ?) and both have "progressed" based on political stability (or suppression of individual freedom/workers rights ) and low wages (red dot via mass import of foreigners).China is flexing its muscles based on sheer numbers of its people/size of its country but is a technologically backward country-just as Indonesia used to do in the SEA region.
The per capita income in the US is around US$52,000; in Japan US$36,000; in the EU,US$34,500; and in China, less than US$9,900.-so Chinese living standards are 20 percent of those in the US and only 30 percent of those in Japan/EU.

China has a long way to increase its standard of living of its people before it can be a world power.

That's why we need bill clinton as our leader,all we need is a extremely charismatic,smooth talker to forge relationships with other countries that's all we need,even negotiate with the north koreans.but forget that for a sec,let's overlook arse loongs personal failures as a politician and a diplomat.what is the most important factor about a country is its economy. Singapore economy under goh keng Swee and Albert winsemius tutelage has thrived,they have managed to weaved together a economic vision that compliments and drew on Singapore's strengths and weaknesses,his foresight and vision was legendary as he correctly identified one area after another that could boost singapore's economic prosperity.however later on,under gct and Leehl,they begin to draft a different sort of economy,a dystopia of sort,one that drew on over reliance on foreign labour,thus negating the local workforce it sought to serve in the first place,it sought to promote Singapore as a tax shelter tax evasion hub of sorts,overdependance of construction sector to boost its GDP,mass immigration to drive up consumption,and focusing on rent seeking activities,it order words,lhl sought to maximise short term profits as much as possible rather than long term growth and development of Singapore's industries and sectors.even engaging in grey activities and sub ethical economic practises that enraged other countries like Australia and Indonesia and China.

Now if lky was the economic mastermind behind Singapore's economic success why did he not seek to warn gct and lhl? Winsemius died in 90s or 00s and goh keng Swee god knows when.surely u would consult the grandmaster of economics Greenspan I mean LKY if u needed help.assuming LKY was the true Oracle.One of LKY's biggest mistake was thinking a bunch of technocrats,academics,scholars and theoretical physicists could run the country,he was wrong.he may be the ultimate bullshitter but ultimately it was his team and albert winsemius that made singapore a success.what makes america so great was its entrepreneur drive,its business obssession,its insatiable greed for money and profits,its capitalistic instincts of the americans.......even one hundred and fifty years ago,the europeans commented on americans were far more capitalistic and entrepreneurial and profit driven than any culture they have encountered in europe.

china is technologically backwards?u clearly have no clue what u are talking about do u?i have never seen any country embrace technology and capitalism at a rate china does,look at the rate of their infrastructure growth,their internet growth,their technology adoption or stolen,high speed rails,longest highways and bridges,largest cranes in the world,largest ports,u think all these is achieved without technology?look at the amount of technological feats china has attempted in the past ten years,from super computers to satelittes to moonlanders to super weapons and super radars to best smartphone makers in the world,well china makes all smartphones anyway.which country in the world has done or attempted to do as much as china?

china gdp 7,800? do u know how had it is to lift 1.3 billion people out of poverty?we are talking about the combined population of the entire european continent.u expect it to happen overnight in 20 years,30 years?

do u know how many rich cities there are in china?theres probably 10 or 20 times Singapores in China,we are nothing but a tiny province that depends on bangla,prc and pinoy labour.

Since when is Singapore such a Samaritan country?Don't forget we donated 250k peanut to Japan and pinoyland tsunamis when Australia donated 10 million and all their ships.looks like Ang mohs have a better idea of compassion than chinks.on the other hand we have 2b to spare when Australia needs a new base or America needs their cock sucked.

You see he and his siblings have dysfunctional families.

.

U are right, But you think Old Fart does not know this? I think his wife forced him to put the son into politics and would have been happy if the younger son also went into it. He loves the wife and so he puts in the son to be groomed to be PeeM. That is why his training was so long, he just does not have the temperament to be a good politician. Old fart got off lucky, he did not live to see the day when zikapore will disintegrate.

That is exactly my whole point. But in the 60s, 70s and even 80s, I had so many relatives and friends that were genuinely nice people. These people are now in their 70s or older. They may not be super rich, but they do not have a mean bone in them. Singapore could have easily been much more focused (as this article says) on service to our neighbours. Not for money, not for goods, but just out of human goodwill. Does not mean that we let others take advantage of us. But some countries in the world have a good reputation for helping others. Canada comes to mind. But we went another way. We went the way of a hardnose money minded hardcore Hakka Jew. I mean this fucker was so hard up for money that he married into it. And then he had the temerity to brag about how he did black marketeering during the war years and made lots of money off people's misery. People who needed to sell their valuables were exploited by him. He offered them a low price then resold it on the black market. this asshole only knew dollar signs. And unfortunately, he formed singapore in his own image. Every stat board, GLC, Ministry, etc had to be money making making. New and ingenious ways were used to squeeze more and more money and then concentrate these monies in his own hands (as chairman of GIC) or in the hands of his daughter in law. (Temasek). It did not have to be this way. When singapore became rich, it could have extended some help to other countries too. U know they say a rising tide floats all boats. Mormons go all over the world to build churches, schools, be teachers, build homes, etc. for free. We could have done the same. because we are a small country, Our efforts may not amount to much but no country will be ungrateful to us. but instead, we went out of our way in some cases to screw other countries. Over money, no less. What a waste. For all her smarts, Gecko could'nt see this either.

Ask yourself this. Why are we still trying to compete with China and other countries in manufacturing? We will never be able to match them due to our lack of manpower and our high costs., and lack of land. Why are companies from Korea and Japan so prescient that they can locate their factories in Indonesia, and we are still trying to do manufacturing in singapore. For fuck's sake, we should have been opening factories in these countries way before the Koreas of the world discovered them. U cannot tell me that Indonesia will say no if we offered to build a school for them for free, and in this school we have a english and singapore style curriculum, while concurrently, we build a new factory near by. And then we assure the Indonesians we will hire graduates from this school to work in our factory. which govt will say no to a free school, a free singapore style education, and then on top of that, you spend money to build a factory and finally hire their own citizens? They will roll out the red carpet for you and kiss your ass. they will be our friend for life.

My god you are brlliant. I am not surprised PAP will steal your ideas. I might see them update facebook soon about such grand plans!

thank you, but you are exaggerating. LOL. And the PAP will never do it because there is no money to be made in that. But it would be a great training school for our country's doctors and nurses and other health care professionals. Instead of importing all these 3rd world so called medical professionals, we would have lots of then already trained this way on the ships.
