An afterthought on NDR 2025

 The National Day Rally 2025 was a unique opportunity for the swaggering PM Lawrence Wong to eternalise his political acumen par excellence locally and abroad. As expected the majestic venue was full to capacity including ministers and prominent public and the whole assembly was what you would call a caotive audience. So you can expect a submissive response from the audience who would merrily show their adulation by thunderous applause whenever PM Lawrence Wong tickled them with his witty remaks.in his speech. That he is a consummate orator there is not the slightest doubt so he was able to mesmerise his audience with his oratorical dexterity  He appeared to have covered every aspect of his humanitarian mission to provide succour to the deprived people, but whether in deliberation, he omitted to address topics like high cost of living, affordable HDB housing, lack of political space and the astronomical obscene ministerial salaries which may attract unfavourable reaction from ...

The National Day Rally 2025

 The Narional Day Rally 2025 was PM Lawrence Wong's cynosure of flexing his muscle  locally and worldwide to demonstrate his political omnipotence in governing Singapore to bring it to world pinnacle and the people to a utopian state. He is so obsessed with his ingenuity that he does not believe that this is beyond him.There  were cosiderable hypes to draw public attenton to the event.  As expected the venue was full to capacity with an expectant audience including ministers and  prominent public to listen to the demi-god mesmerise them with his oratorical histrionic. He showed himself as quite a linguist and  the audience was dazzled by his witty oration. Anyway the audience was a captive audience and expected to show adulation by their applause where he said something that tickled them. I had said previously that Lawrence Wong is an immaculate story-teller like our Crazy Lee (李大傻) of the old days. He covered almost every topic in his momentous address and...

The intricacies of A Timelesss Friendship

 Jess Chua was a vivacious Singapore damsel who studied at the Temasek Polithecnic but dis not have a tertiary education. She was imbued with a patriotism that abhors injustice. So she set up a website titled Singapore Politics where she she merrily posted jocular caricatures of the iniquities of  Lee Kuan Yew and the PAP. Lee was initially amused but over time he became disconcerted and showed his fangs. It became imminent that he was toying with inviting Jess  Chua as his guest in his holiday bungalows in Onreat Road. Jess had a premonition  and promptly decded to hightail to American as a safe haven. Thus Singapore sadly lost a picturersque political narrator who had enlivened the mind of the Singapore public.. Jess Chua was undeniably highly intellectual and her writing had paled some of the more established  writers. I did not know her but she watched my blog Singapore Recalcitrant and was fascinated by my postings. She contacted me and we became friends. S...

The world the romantic playground of the rich and mighty

 Love is a many-splendoured thing is the most touching love story of the time. It was made into a movie with hugh box office success. The world the romantic playground of the rich and mighty and maybe some enterprising homo sapiens with some ending in tragedies. Let's come back to Singapore politics. We have a bunch of demi-gods siting on PAP political pantheon dispensing so-called golden service to the gullible public. They do this while pockeing millions of people's money.Why do they need so much money to provide service. Lawrence Wong pockets more than four times the salary of the American President .Do you think this is sane? What do they want to do with so much money if they cannot take it with them to their graves? Are they really thinkinf of bequeathiig the money to their desesdants? Lawrence Wong as Prrme Minister overshadows Lee Hsien Loong in performance. He has the gift of the gap which he blithely portrayed locally and abroad. He flabbergasted local gullible listene...

Pritam Singh a National Hero

 Pritam Singh is indeed a national hero by all  accounts. The PAP Petir critical criticisms to rought such an avalanchhis unsolicited interview with the prominent Malaysia podcast "Keluar Sekecap" have brought such an avalanche of iniminical brickbats from discerning Singaporeans that they will have to lick their wounds for a long time. Why is the facetious wag Lawrence Wong keeping reticent. It will be interesting to hear what fib will come out of his big mouth. Never have Singaporeans shown such unity in casticating the character-assination of the political opposition leader by the PAP wallahs. I think overnight Pritam Singh's political standing has risen to such a dizzying height that Lawrence Wong will be morified in any future attempt to spar with him especially to get pass him with his sleight-of- hand. This is not the first time nor will it  be the last the abject arrogance of the PAP wallahs has dented quite deleteriously its local and international persona which ...

新加坡是否财阀统治?

 你们認为新加坡是民主统治?可能有一点谜惑。 现在统治新加坡是一群行动党财阀。他们不只是百万富翁 而 是千万富豪。他们的钱是从人民的血汗钱。本来政治家是大公无私的为人民服务。但这群行动党政客可以说是为人民服务或是假冒为人民服务而把人民的血汗钱饱入私囊。试问黄循财总理解释这个令人废解的谜。新加坡是个小国 而你拿的薪金是四次高于美国总统的薪金。是给人民甚么黄金服务 这群行动党财阀所拿的是人民的血汗钱。黄循财是那一种总理连一个基本的原则都不理会。如狼吞虎咽的把人民的血汗钱饱入私囊。假冒为給人民黄金服务。天下还有没有这样抹杀良心的人民代表? 请问黄循财总理你们拿这么多人民的钱不能带去坟墓要作何用途?难道用在人民福利?如果将人民的血汗钱当遗产留给后代是天不可恕的罪行。 我们邻居崇高的马来西亚首相案华能无薪为人民服务。难道薪加坡总理黄循财不能看齐?薪加坡更富有而无薪服务不是一个问题。 主要是黄循财的人格比得上案华的人格。 最低限度黄循财的首要任务是把极高昂的总理和部长薪金减到国外领袖的薪金。 犹其是美国总统的薪金。我们拭目以待。
