About Us

The Chinese Revolutionary Alliance Affair Department (Tong Meng) was found to assist the Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC), Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) and Singapore Federation of Chinese Clans Association (SFCCA) in Singapore Chinese Community Development.

In October 1908, Dr Sun Yat Sen went to Singapore from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) to expand the revolution's reach. Wang Zhaoming, Hu Hanmin and others arrived to aid him. They went to various parts of Southeast Asia such as Malaya and Indonesia to publicize the cause. At this point, the Revolutionary Alliance had more than 20 branches with a total membership of more than 3000 people. Southeast Asia had the most number of branches and Nan yang was closest to its Tokyo headquarters. Hence, Dr Sun decided to make Singapore the nerve centre of his Southeast Asian revolutionary activities. Dr Sun wrote to Deng Zeru of Malaya, informing him of the news that Singapore was now the regional headquarters.

During the Second Sino-Japanese war, Lim Bo Seng participated actively in activities organized by the Nan yang Federation to boycott Japanese goods and raise funds for the Chinese army. On 01 February, Lim left Singapore and travelled to Sumatra with other Chinese community leaders and made his way to India later. He recruited and trained hundreds of secret agents through intensive military intelligence missions from China and India. He set up the Sino-British guerrilla task force Force 136 in mid-1942 together with Captain John Davis.

On the 27 February 1949, Tun Dato Sir Tan Cheng Lock had struggled of the Chinese community in Malaya, especially in the fields of politics, education and social welfare. Strongly anti-communist, he was also trusted by the British colonial officials. The goal for the foundation of the Malayan Chinese Association was to unite the Chinese population in Malaya.

Lee Kuan Yew signed a separation agreement on 7 August 1965, which discussed Singapore's post-separation relations with Malaysia in order to continue co-operation in areas such as trade and mutual defense.

Nationalism
Nationalism involves a strong identification of a group of individuals with a political entity defined in national terms. Often, it is the belief that an ethnic group has a right to statehood or that citizenship in a state should be limited to one ethnic group, or that multinationality in a single state should necessarily comprise the right to express and exercise national identity even by minorities.

It is also used to describe a movement to establish or protect a homeland for an ethnic group. In some cases the identification of a national culture is combined with a negative view of other races or cultures. Conversely, nationalism might also be portrayed as collective identities towards imagined communities which are not naturally expressed in language, race or religion but rather socially constructed by the very individuals that belong to a given nation.

National flags, national anthems, and other symbols of national identity are often considered sacred, as if they were religious rather than political symbols.

The Principle of Nationalism, literally "the People's relation" or "government of the People." By this, Sun meant freedom from imperialist domination. To achieve this he believed that China must develop a "civic-nationalism," Zhonghua Minzu, as opposed to an "ethnic-nationalism," so as to unite all of the different ethnicities of China, mainly composed by the five major groups of Han, Mongols, Tibetans, Manchus, and the Muslims, which together are symbolized by the Five Color Flag of the First Republic (1911–1928). This sense of nationalism is different from the idea of "ethnocentrism," which equates to the same meaning of nationalism in Chinese language.

Today, our Singapore National Anthems is in Malay Language. Our post independent National Language is Johor Sultan Malay Language. Our National Flag is a crescent moon with five stars represent a Muslim Country. Our post independent National Religion is Johor Sultan Sunni Muslim. Our Chinese Singaporean exit in Singapore was due to we were British Malacca Strait Citizen. Our pre-independent National Language was English and pre-independent National Religion was Christian.

As a Chinese Singaporean shall remain our mother tongue base on China common language and our personal faith is Chinese Mahayana Buddhist (Mahayana Buddhist and Chinese Taoism). According our Chinese Culture, we must learn and master Malay Language, Malay Culture, English, Sunni Muslim and Anglican Christian as well we will promote our Chinese Language and Chinese Mahayana Buddhism.

We wish we can create a new national identity. We can speak English, Johor Malay and Mandarin. We can understand Sunni Muslim, Anglican Christian and Chinese Mahayana Buddhism. We can master Johor Malay Culture, British Culture and Chinese Culture. We also can master Modern China History, Modern Johor History and Modern United Kingdom History

Democracy is a political form of government where governing power is derived from the people, either by direct referendum (direct democracy) or by means of elected representatives of the people (representative democracy). The term comes from the Greek is "rule of the people", which was coined from "people" and "power", to denote the political systems. These principles are reflected in all citizens being equal before the law and having equal access to power. For example, in a representative democracy, every vote has equal weight, no restrictions can apply to anyone wanting to become a representative, and the freedom of its citizens is secured by legitimized rights and liberties which are generally protected by a constitution.

There are several varieties of democracy, some of which provide better representation and more freedoms for their citizens than others. However, if any democracy is not carefully legislated – through the use of balances – to avoid an uneven distribution of political power, such as the separation of powers, then a branch of the system of rule could accumulate power and become undemocratic.

The "majority rule" is often described as a characteristic feature of democracy, but without governmental or constitutional protections of individual liberties, it is possible for a minority of individuals to be oppressed by the "tyranny of the majority". An essential process in representative democracies is competitive elections that are fair both substantively and procedurally. Furthermore, freedom of political expression, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press are essential so that citizens are informed and able to vote in their personal interests.

Popular sovereignty is common but not a universal motivating subject for establishing a democracy. In some countries, democracy is based on the philosophical principle of equal rights. Many people use the term "democracy" as shorthand for liberal democracy, which may include additional elements such as political pluralism; equality before the law; the right to petition elected officials for redress of grievances;due process; civil liberties; human rights; and elements of civil society outside the government.

The Principle of democracy; literally "the People's power" or "government by the People." To Sun, it represented a Western constitutional government. First, he divided political life of his ideal for China into two sets of 'powers':

Dr Sun Powers:
The power of politics (政權, zhèngquán) are the powers of the people to express their political wishes, similar to those vested in the citizen or the parliaments in other countries, and is represented by the National Assembly. There are four of these powers: election (選舉), recall (罷免), initiative (創製), and referendum (複決). These may be equated to "civil rights".

The power of governance (治權, zhìquán) are the powers of administration. Here he expanded the European-American constitutional theory of a three-branch government and a system of checks and balances by incorporating traditional Chinese administrative tradition to create a government of five branches (each of which is called a Yuan (院, yuàn) or 'court'). The Legislative Yuan, the Executive Yuan, and the Judicial Yuan came from Montesquieuan thought; the Control Yuan and the Examination Yuan came from Chinese tradition. (Note that the Legislative Yuan was first intended as a branch of governance, not strictly equivalent to a national parliament.)

Singapore was base on United Kingdom Democracy:

The politics of the United Kingdom has taken place in the framework of a constitutional monarchy, in which the Monarch is head of state and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the head of government. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature, the highest national court being the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom is the supreme court in all matters. It is the court of last resort and highest appellate court in the United Kingdom. The Supreme Court has jurisdiction to resolve disputes relating to devolution — cases in which the legal powers of the three devolved governments or laws made by the devolved legislatures are questioned. It shares the Middlesex Guildhall in the City of Westminster, with the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.

The Supreme Court was established by Part 3 of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and started work on 1 October 2009. It assumed the judicial functions of the House of Lords, which were exercised by the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary (commonly called "Law Lords"), the 12 professional judges appointed as members of the House of Lords to carry out its judicial business. Its jurisdiction over devolution matters had previously been held by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.


The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) is one of the highest courts in the United Kingdom, established by the Judicial Committee Act 1833. It is also the highest court of appeal (or court of last resort) for several independent Commonwealth countries, the UK overseas territories, and the British Crown Dependencies. It is simply referred to as the Privy Council, as appeals are in fact made to the Queen as Her Majesty in Council, who then refers the case to the Judicial Committee for "advice". The panel of judges hearing a particular case (typically five members) is known as "the Board".

In Commonwealth republics, appeals are made directly to the Judicial Committee instead.





Our Singaporean Democracy Principle shall:-

1) The President is the Head of State
2) The Prime Minister is the Head of Government
3) The Supreme Court of Singapore is independent of the executive and the legislature (UK Model)

The Principle of the People's Welfare and Livelihood. Through this, Sun meant socialism (democratic socialism) and communism, though the government of Chiang Kai-shek and onward shied away from translating it as such. He defined this principle of saying in his last days "it's socialism and it's communism.". The concept may be understood as social welfare as well. Sun understood it as an industrial economy and equality of land holdings for the Chinese peasant farmers. Here he was influenced by the American thinker Henry George (see Georgism) and German thinker Karl Marx; the land value tax in Taiwan is a legacy thereof. He divided livelihood into four areas: food, clothing, housing, and transportation; and planned out how an ideal (Chinese) government can take care of these for its people.

Welfare or welfare work consists of actions or procedures — especially on the part of governments and institutions — striving to promote the basic well-being of individuals in need. These efforts usually strive to improve the financial situation of people in need but may also strive to improve their employment chances and many other aspects of their lives including sometimes their mental health. In many countries, most such aid is provided by family members, relatives, and the local community and is only theoretically available from government sources.
Social Fund
A Social Fund (sometimes also called Social Investment Fund, Social Fund for Development, Social Action Fund, National Solidarity Fundor Social Development Agency) is an institution. Social Funds also aim at contributing to social capital and development at the local level. In many cases they serve as innovators and demonstrators of new methods of decentralized participatory decision-making, management, and accountability that may be adopted for broader application by public sector organizations.
Social Funds spread quickly with the intellectual and financial backing of the GIC's, GLC's, Listed Organisation and other donors.
The social funds were created to serve as short-term safety nets to soften the impact of structural adjustment policies on the poor, which was mainly achieved by providing temporary employment. The social funds also have adopted more explicit institutional strategies aimed at empowerment and capacity building of communities as well as local governments in the context of decentralization.

Funding Livelihood
Employee financial and vocational support for living. Skill training, Leadership training, On Job Training, Quality Training, Safety Training and Financial Control Skill. Reasonable Salary, Foods, Drink, Electricity, Fuel, Transport, Phone, Hand-Phone, Internet Service, Education, Medical fee, Home and other necessities that Singaporean needs time to time.
Funding Self-employment Hardship
Self-employment is working for one's self rather than for another person or company. In other sense, it is, earning one's livelihood directly from one's own trade or business rather than as an employee of another. To be self-employed, an individual is normally highly skilled in a trade or has a niche product or service for his or her local community. With the creation of the Internet, the ability for an individual to become self-employed has increased dramatically.
Fund Needy Hardship
Poor is an adjective related to a state of poverty, low quality, low income or pity.


In Singapore, we shall review the needy, low income, middle class and self-employ personnel need, time to time with new policy to assist them

In Singapore, we shall review the needy, low income, middle class and self-employ personnel need, time to time with new policy to assist them. Nations would be prosperous. People would abide by morality and accord with laws. They would be courteous and humble and everyone would be content without injustices. There would be no violence. The strong would not dominate the weak and everyone would get their fair share. The Big Organization will help the needy, low income, middle class and self-employ personnel to share nation prosperous fairly.
