The Milestone: Relevance.

There are plenty of typos to do in the previous posting, but I’d go on chatting. Interestingly, I was reading Geminii, Happy and TheGreatKnowledge’s talking cock behind my back at YNTUC forum. Geminii called me a bully when she is the bully in her conduct, and anyway, what can those ‘non-irridating’ people do for Singapore? Other than criticising YPAP’s inability to even handle a forum and condemning PAP from NTUC’s platform and calling Elfred irridating, I managed to persist through the thread of these three chaps who labelled themselves as Forum Masters.

Then, when I was away from Singapore, this ugly but adorable Panter92 left me a laughable message… which we’d go through here later. And of course, that TOC for all the talks about freedom of speech, censorship and what democracy persistently keeps my comments in permanent ‘awaiting for moderation’… This is similar to what happened in commenting at SDP’s site before. Critters… Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

It’s obvious that TOC and Wayangparty.com practise censorship despite all their war-cries. And all the while, they attacked Mainstream Media and PAP for censorship, for being against the freedom of speech, and what fuck… It’s up to them, including FireIce or even Geminii to call me bully or ban whatever they want, or SDP or TOC or Wayangparty to moderate and champion against censorship…

Yeah… …

And hilariously, that Woman Rights’ AWARE indian president actually went on video interview hosted by the big well-known motherfucker, Chia Ti Lik. I am not saying those ‘Shut Up and Sit Down’ people are right, but it’s obvious these are the ‘influencial’ people interested in publicity hoping to be the choices of Singaporeans… Hahahahahahahahaha…

Fine.

I have updated what needs to be updated to the MM. Attention-seeker or not, I have to leave out a huge chunk of things since I have no wish to disrupt anything. And China has recently hurrily started examining its economic mess… I mean, isn’t that too late…? Hahahahahahahhaha… The problem with China is it really thinks it has all the talents and resources at its disposal, and it is really beginning to feel that it is powerful enough to handle anything on its own. Well… I fully respect China’s choice of thinking.

Obama has just left Singapore after APEC. Doesn’t matter, leaders can chat over phone and such. I have been observing PM Lee’s ideas during APEC… No matter who is advising him on economic matters, I do express concerns. Whatever, not really my problem. Remember, I am here to clean up the mess, be my New Father of Singapore, and irridating may I be, someone else must mess up so that I’d have my job.

Never mind that I am no longer a PAP member.

There are many PAP members, anyway.

But I am now pretty agitated by those bunch of craps at YNTUC… Yet, while they are talking nosense, there are many more important things this ‘irridating’ and ‘bullying’ attention-seeker called Elfred has for the attention than those irridating online ‘adversaries’. I suppose copying this label from ex-comrade Lui would be convenient enough… Hahahahahahaha… As the script goes, this world is changing… on course. MM definitely is not able to do anything… in my personal view, after assessing for a good while. He simply is shorthanded… Bluntly put, he has no one whom he can place in his son’s team to change anything. Economic remake is impossible, and overdue.

And China is starting to behave erratically.

The new migrants… This issue is critical, but not in the light as how ‘Future Father’ has put it via comment in this blog. I actually wondered how can he be a ‘Future’ Father when he may not understand what the future is about? There is no need to talk about this issue because that has to wait till when I become a minister in this ‘future’. Population policy is not that simple as people have really love it to be as in Education and Housing… If it has been so simple and direct, MM won’t have his headache and heart attacks. Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

Everything must wait.

Something significant happened recently but very few noticed. MM has, for all his pride about the breed who has a base on facts and figures for whatever they claimed, told the breed in tertiary education he has most respect for to ignore the Gini Coefficent. I am not surprised… as any political minds are. Facts and figures have always been, as religion, a tool in politics and not the end. So whenever I had tried to meaningfully discuss matters in YP Forum and faced with idiots trying to fool around with ‘what facts what figures’… as in the Casino thingy, yeah yeah…

This is one of the most important milestones for Singapore in this long wait… MM himself kicked the base of facts and figures, so historical and people are talking about other things. It’s a political significance… and those political wannabes don’t seem to understand. Hahahahahahahahahaha…

Of course, this PM probably realises now why I have been most against building the casinos with him staking his own credility on this insistence… He’s staking himself upon a foundation of global economic disaster… and Sands’ withdrawal has made Singapore pumped in hard-earned money instead. Well… I told that Chinese chief designer pretty boss on this project simply, let them do whatever they want, you make whatever money from this, I’d step in later to clean up the mess…

So what has really changed after people banned me from forums, called me this and that, keep my comments in permanent moderation, and so on? Nothing really does change. It’s a mess, and it’s a mess Elfred would have to clean up later. You see, what’s the point? The Old Father probably realises that even if he were to live till 110 years old, he won’t be able to do anything, the next PM is seriously stuck, and this attention seeker is the only one God has sent to clean up the mess…

Like it or not, I have no intention to fight for a position destined. If anyone thinks he or she can do the job, go ahead.

The Contest For Power.

One fine day, Panter92 showed up and bla bla bla about me not to dabble in politics, and mentioned about what physical reputation. See? Silly little boy who is still trying to be smart.

This old gust of irridating fart is sitting happily on the fence, and he’s not really trying to change anything. PM Lee wants the Casinos, I raised my views and he can continue to have 100 of them; he could even have MOE terminated my service, sent ISD, appointed anyone he likes… And those fuckers at the oppositions can fuck any wives they want and interview AWARE, and AWARE president can accept interviews from anyone they want… Panter92 can talk nosense as before…

Am I really stopping anyone?

Have I dabbled in politics? As compared to very serious sites as TOC and Temesek Review, plus the whole slew of wannabes such as Goh Meng Seng and many other crazy bloggers, Elfred has been just an old gust of fart farting in this blog, and maybe talking cock via comments elsewhere. I don’t attack the MM because I hate him or I don’t hug the MM because I love him, I am a neutral. If you talk rubbish, I’d laugh. I’d not only laugh at SDP’s nosensical labor policies, I’d also laugh at any nosense coming my way.

Those useless idiots are ‘dabbling’ in politics, and they want the only savior not to dabble in politics… Hahahahahahahahaha… I am not dabbling in politics, I am just a fence-sitter, watching sunrises and sunsets.

MM is going to laugh if he reads this… …

It has come to this, just look at ex-comrade Mah… he’s struggling to make sense with housing where on his other hand are the rugged Singaporeans who are stepping up their forcefulness; look at ex-comrade Lui, he’s facing a whole bunch of ‘adversaries’; look at ex-comrade Khaw… he’s still working on the old people’s fortune, stuck in rising medical cost management, and he has been receiving attention from all those charity scandals; look at ex-comrade Yaccob… another flood has come for him… Of course, almost every ministry is now under fire to make sense. See?

Why would Elfred even want to step in now? Do you think element as Elfred is so crazy…

Doesn’t make cow sense…

If he doesn’t advocate Casinos or anything, that’s always because of something…

If he doesn’t move, it’s always because of something…

He doesn’t retire from PAP because someone else is the chairman and not him or because he’s not likely to be selected as an obedient MP.

The Speakers’ Corner is right there… Why is Elfred prefering to watch Tan Kin Lian giving speeches than to move out himself?

The contest of power is not as simple as one would like to think. For a learned angel-like element, physical reputation is not as important. Put it simply, it’s as what MM mentioned before: Core competency.

The next PM’s regime is not based on jokers, no PM wants to relinguish powers, or face a LDP-style overnight defeat. And no right-minded PM would expect to run a regime without good hands, and expect support in rising scandals, compounding problems, multiple deaths and to the point of giving up. Precisely, I am not about to interfere politics meaningfully… not before I get to be a minister. Hahahahahahahahaha…

Come on…

Given the current Singapore’s status, even if I were to suggest go right, there’d be no short of fools stubbornly going left. Without power, nothing can be done. And another thing, almost anyone, even mother-fuckers, want powers… Even those who are going to send Singapore into hell want powers… Am I really so naive and to step into election anyohow like that joker, Goh Meng Seng?

These people… they are crazy, and they think I am crazy as well.

From day one, I have talked about the need of relevance… What is relevant to this MM, has anyone really thought before while busily attacking him? What is relevant to this PM, has anyone who said this PM is the most incompetent leader thought as well? What’d relevant to the real general public who will have to one day make a hard decision? They will all base on their own interests.

Just like those White-Knights-Pretenders, everyday yelling against censorship, everyday attacking MM Lee and his daughter plus his wife… just as all those assholes out there everyday thinking of hitting Elfred, everyday think they hide in a big fat group… The point is, all of them have their own agenda, have their own interests.  MM fails, not because he’s no good… He’s facing a huge problem only because he made one big mistake… which I cannot say here. And now, he’s stuck. So is his son. He knows it himself very well. Very soon, election will come, and come again and again. As long as the rate of unhappiness and scandals maintain, it’d be a very very interesting fight.

All these people are not going to do anything in real for Singapore. They can’t. The only thing they know is their own wealth and their own whinings… What else other than their fantasies? They have no idea of managing a state. The PM can hug onto power… but how? Because other people are also doing anything they can to grab those powers.

This contest is going to get pretty ugly.

Panter92… Politics is not whether Elfred would dabble in it or not. For one, I have been staying out, away from the real thing for decades. I am not bothered by all those silly perceptions or reputations on myself since I am not those scoundrels. Don’t make me laugh… People will not choose me because of my class or my reputation… but because they need me. You can say, Singapore doesn’t me. But you are not Singapore, got it?

All these pests…

I have never bothered about election. The point is, getting elected is one thing… how to proceed on would be the real issue. I don’t mind being candid here… I am waiting for the mother-fucker to be elected, so that I can unseat him. In the event that even such grade F can make it into parliament… PAP is really finished.

Alot of things must wait.

If I don’t get to step in as an Education Minister, who do you think will clean up the mess, Mr Panter92?

I hate this mess… but without this mess, I won’t have the job. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

Dabble in politics…

For what I dabble???

I have been watching all those petty politicking and rubbish policy debates for decades… This long wait for injection point just for dabbling…? Frankly, I have little interest in such silly politics than the sake of being the New Father of Singapore. Eventually, Singaporeans must make a choice for themselves, who shall wield the powers, and hence what will be their future. Even the ISDs, they will need a future, they will also have children, they will be a tiny island in a global storm needing leadership.

Panter92 wants to rule… Many people also eye the current weaknesses… including those folks at SDP. They have been fighting recklessly for years on the democratic front. Go ahead, and try. I am not going to stop anyone.

Frankly, if anyone can clean up the mess, I won’t have been a jobless for so long.

The oppositions… reckless ambitious bunch of wannabes with no substance… pretenders who hope everyone is more inferior than their puny brains can handle and stretch across for powers with their filthy hands… and a bunch of wannabes, everyday hoping to get selected to be MPs, everyday fighting to go up the ladders and thinking how to get selected. I have seen enough of these…

So?

Still the mess must go on growing, and I must remain on the fence, farting.

Elfredian Rationale: To Be Or Not To Be.

Before historians start making wild guess about Elfred’s retirement from the party as a member, we’d discuss this now. The party has acknowledged my resignation recently, an amicable retirement for an inactive member from a party branch is actually a good thing. But just as being inactive doesn’t mean my eyes are closed, just because of retirement doesn’t mean anything either. Before I was an official member I was already serving at MPS, I still attended grassroots’ activities, and unlike Mahathir’s retirement to UMNO, my retirement from PAP is not a hostile move. A retirement of a nobody will seemingly be no loss to the party that in the future, I’d be just back into the grassroots.

Of course, when I shall resume grassroots activities is another issue altogether.

During the early days when parties were struggling to gain controls, the leaders were inclined to a political sphere limited to membership. Which is, if you were to be active or become an activist, you will probably be safest being an incumbent party member because of obvious reasons. If you became too successful as an activist, with a membership your path into the politics would still be under PAP’s discreet management; that if you become an MP, the party whip applied. In the peaceful years after the party has consolidated itself, the grassroots’ parties become more attractive than the old political concerns. In fact MPs or NMPs-to-be could come directly from grassroots or other friendly organisations. The machinery is deemed to have become strong enough for such role in place of political whips and limitations to exert controls. In a way, political entities such as NTUC and the PA were all tightly held to the party that while they are declared non-political in peaceful times, people should accept this notion without forgetting their prominent political roles in the modern history of Singapore.

During modern days recruitment of YP members, and as I have mentioned in the forum, being a party member helps in your interest in politics. The old rules clearly suggests safety zone in political dealings with a membership. What is not clearly mentioned is that in reality, since the establishment of PAP in the local political sphere, friends of PAP exist in a class and they can attend the annual party celebration alongside with all the other branches. In place of political organisations, grassroots bodies are promoted over the decades. One significant entity is the Town Council. Town council deals with ‘domestic affairs’ alongside with CDCs, and you don’t need another PKMS or Union.

Many people, especially the lawyers, suggested the constitution’s allowance for people to speak up. In political reality, the allowance comes from the philosophy of a strong party’s dominance in such peaceful times that people may voice out various issues. The infamous rules that ‘Singaporeans can voice out about Singaporean issues‘ stems from MM”s warcry of ‘Why should Singapore be decided by the colonial masters’ and the marketing of a Singaporean Singapore. Well… so many decades later, there is no longer colonial masters in Singapore and Singapore is now Singaporean. Whereby in this light, younger political leaders may understand why socio-politico blogs are tolerated, but the exact reality is that this old rule is nothing highfalutin but are orignated at a time of need. Which is also, in my humblest opinion, till the magnitude of disturbances from those bloggings can match that of the chaos in the past, there will still be toleration but such will become thinner and thinner as time flows by. Actually, the political core of PAP-management would adjust subconciously to the players as the older players are fully replaced and the new ones  facing a new political landscape from their post-colonial life experience. So in real, liberalism may seem to be the reason behind all the tolerance, part of the core values of PAP remains in the way to suppress ‘Singapore voices on Singaporean issues’ in an era of Singaporean Singapore.

But chaos everywhere is the same… ever so unpleasant, ever so the urge to draw on the hatchet.

In modern days Singapore, for an inactive Elfred a PAP membership is not really a necessity in associating himself with the party for the long run; in reality, most people outside the party will still associate me with PAP as people have done so with Calvin, Tan Kin Lian and many others. The only difference between Elfred and them is his time tested sitting on the fence… Hahahahahahaha… A reputation in such a way that commands respect since no one in the right mind can defame me a PAP lapdog. Well… how many dogs can be so vocal and analytical and sit on the fence for so long?

Well…

For the last few years, I have been watching LDP’s political direction to the point of the entire Japan has discarded it in overwhelming fashion. Among other things of being a qualified political element than studying the MM, a Singaporean political mind must focus on relevant global understanding. I see this as no choice during my elementary education days in Singapore that in history, almost all tiny states or kingdoms which had some brains had to open up and be exposed to foreign threats and foreign situational changes and in order to survive, tiny states must remain absolutely neutral… a position such kingdoms’ leaders must acquire with wisdom. The correct way to put it is to ’play Tai Ji with the flows’ among the big players.

Singapore in the 1980s was considered a very new shoot in terms of political age. Many leaders across histories won powers but very few could govern properly; in the beginning of times, control management in China’s political history evolved with the existence of thinkers over time. This allowed China to at times be able to handle such a huge entity with many many racial issues or factional interests from the very top to the very bottom. Thinkers are very pragmatic lots whose approach to political handlings exist not because of idealogies but in response to the issues plaguing regimes. Though few in numbers, thinkers’ existence is a class to their own. Coming to 2010, Singapore is still a pretty young state but politically speaking, we already are in the third PAP premier-ship.

There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all governing method or tradition or system. And of course, there is no such thing as short cuts in governing. Even thinkers evolved over time in China, with both great envy and respect that I have taken to their path. States such as tiny Singapore as every vulnerable states in the history of China needs thinkers, but all across history… thinkers were often being confused as scholars. Put it this way, Confucian scholars are not thinkers, Confucius was. It is obvious that Singapore started with more thinking than currently is, because in most cases… once a state was won, leaders would try to bag their prize for as long as forever, and the simplest and most humanly inclined way would be what used to be called tradition or what is currently called the system.

Of course, as many times discussed… if it is so simple, wise emperors would have no need for thinkers.

And many who did rely on systems or traditions (In Chinese: 祖训) they didn’t realise that the regimes they took over from also had traditions of which the earlier successful batches had established in the hope that such toppled regimes can last forever (In Chinese saying: 千秋万代). This is one of the examples of chain effects in practical politics. Once you spot that characteristic, you spot a hole… and you can investigate.

MM is right that it’s not easy to change governments but… he never said it cannot be done. In fact, PAP took over rein from the powerful colonial master and the interim minions. Youngsters must understand the reality of this joke “失民心则失天下”(Unhappy people make you lose your regime). I have refuted this kind of nosense in YP forum before because the reality is unhappy people can commit suicides as in Singapore and Japan, can die in hunger or poverty as in Singapore and Japan, can make a lot of noises as in everywhere, but so what if you were to stage a junta to physically revolt?

Many revolutions were registered in Shang against the idiotic and downright incompetent despot, to the farmers’ massive revolution in late Qing dynasty. I was in Primary school when already I know that only motivation of the people can change governments… mostly by the governments surrendering powers, since who in the fuck mind want to choose bloody revolution over a peaceful life? (In Chinese: 官逼民反) The people must be motivated by the governments, and not some ambitious sperm-dripping jokers’ fight for power. Which also means, the only way to consolidate a regime is simply to govern properly.

Sadly, once a regime looked established, complacency often set in. Court fights among comrades reached new heights, and talents were wasted and suffering on the grounds… Powerful clans assumed the air of invinsibility and with so many talents laying around while the rich-poor gap widened, all it needed was a situation where those talents emerged. By that sort of condition, the decay of a regime had already gone irreversible, (武丁中兴 was an exception only because of the king’s miraculous stress on talents.) the reality was always that regimes surrendered power or surrendering political talents so much that they tipped their own balance, and rot into history.

So… I was watching at LDP in its final years when scandals blew up regularly… many Japanese girls prostituted themselves for branded lifestyle with little shame at all, and many talents have no jobs and no political paths to power, and people were dying due to poverty… as LDP leaders’ bank accounts got fatter, as their incompetencies climbed to new heights, as their scandals reached for the skies, and as the yakuzas made bigger news… Their internal fight resulted in several leadership changes, and this means huge imbalance to the expert eyes. Of course, foreign intervention was working from behind the veil as well.

I welcomed this change as it allows Japan more possible changes to come. If the new incumbent doesn’t go the Thaksin’s way or can miraculously resist the temptation of being corrupted like that sicko Chen Shui Bian, Japan can see major changes in its system of politics. Sadly, Badawi never got the chance to make critical changes within UMNO in his time as Premier; I was so hoping that Malaysians can give Badawi more time to prove himself.

The reason why we have to touch on the above is to have a brief understanding of the need to withdraw from official membership while remaining within the system.

Interestingly speaking, I was wondering if I could be of help to fend off the current crisis… because if events did turn out correctly, this is not just the opportunity for the current PM to gain his legacy, but a convenient path for me to become The New Father of Singapore. But obviously, things went very wrong, the PM got very stucked right from the beginning and I have to distance myself, not to mention termination from MOE teaching has practically forced me to review the need to assist this PM.

Strategically speaking, if this PM cannot gain the legacy in this go, the oppositions will be very happy, but Singapore risks political instability, and it’s not just about the puny reserves but… many casualties may result over a fight in such chain event that may be too destructive for a tiny state as Singapore to bear. Panter92 and those jokers don’t understand that if intervention must be, the last moment that I can step in was during the previous election– PM’s virgin election as PM, whereby he’d need to prove himself viable and establish himself to the people as well… as mentioned in the forum.

But a leader has his or her own… fate.

Every leader has to make his or her choice of events to be, and every thinker has to hence make the choice in response to the leadership. If the PM could travel back in time and could have known all those scandals, historical losses and global fiascos, my life would probably be a lot smoother. Some idiot suggested the PM has what marvelous advisor… I laughed openly in the forum… From what I can see, this PM is a dragon without wings. In the event that there was really such marvelous political advisor around him, I’d be already a minister, Singapore would already embarked on a major economic remake, the tier 3 investments and such will be scaled down at my insistence, and a tighter controls on the finance and education sectors would have fended off plenty of national-scale fiascos… plus I would have started remaking the army and to regulate MOM… And all those jokes about SDP policies on labor would be no issue.

So many things to do, and I was wondering why SM Goh said he didn’t know what more to do after MM stepped back.

All these jobs would have to done… hopefully in the next PM’s time. The current PM would have to proceed on after this coming election on the path he has chosen with the current marvelous advisor… Hahahahahaha…

In real, the chance for me to step in as a… well, unproven entity is super tiny in a world where snobbery scales new heights, never mind that I don’t take chances on chances. Which is actually why since secondary school days, the calculation of the injection point into politics to savage Singapore from such ridiculous decline is actually more years from now. When… say, all the God’s men have worked so hard so that the car has crushed beyond recognition… what does it then matter whether I am proven or not? Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

Of course, that will be the extremely desperate a time for Singaporeans… and the extremely favorable time to become The New Father of Singapore. Frankly speaking, if no one messes up the place… how can I get the job to clean up the mess? Both MM and I are speculating on the same thing: core competency, though from a varied angle. In the same light as the MM, I don’t care who the fuck were to take over power… if I am out, they are out.

Simple understanding…

It’s more likely that my speculation on core competency is much more viable than MM’s because the longer I wait the more valuable I’d become, but the longer the oppositions were to seek to hang out, the more dangerous would those walking reserves become… Because in an environment of chaos, anything can happen. For a state as Singapore, without a thinker proper you can only count on luck before things start to crush. Money and power, ever so juicy… ever so decaying.

In the madness that shall result in a freak election, the frenzy state is the ultimate motivation to do alot of crazy things. And people can be doing very unusual things. Which was why I mentioned this: You can only control the sanes…

Once things go out of control, it’d be just out of control.

While I don’t see why the MM will give in or give up, I also see no reason to fight as the horde of others do. While Singapore is engaging phase 3, the population remains status quo; while seemingly ridiculous to head into a battlefield so unprepared, it has not really been unexpected. A few years prior to LDP’s fall, my remark on Japan was the political situation in Japan ‘has’ come to a critical point… it ‘is’ not going to hang on for too long; Watching Japan was part of the concern over watching over China’s Asian moves. I recalled the ‘resentment’ by some Japanese over such doomsday foul mouth… Hahahahahahahahaha… A few years ago, nobody really expected LDP can fall. Look at the seat LDP controlled and you can understand why I did make such an irridating remark. But to be honest, making such irridating remarks seem to be the job for Elfred. And I have more such remarks over USA’s condition left with the PMO. If I were a Japanese, this is the precise point in time to enter politics… to walk into power. But I am no Japanese; I can’t just form a party and negotiate with Hayatoma’s faction in spite of my perception of the political environment there.

In way, the significance of LDP’s fall is more about the people’s awareness that yes… they can change government, that it is so simple to topple a majority seats government overnight; and that they can do it again and again in the future. Other than that, the current political sphere of Japan indicates that the usual power-mongers are just under rearrangement. And what will happen to the toppled is anybody’s guess. If Chen Shui Bian ever knew he’d be so stucked in Taiwan after he was toppled, I suppose he’d really catch a flight and have fled.

I am not saying PAP will definitely follow LDP’s footstep, I am just pointing out a simple fact I have always sung in the forum: Anything can be possible in politics. That is true especially to the laymen who don’t understand. In Singapore, the MM is aging, the PM has so much to deal with and they are trying to wait out the crisis, it’s impossible to remake economy with me idling on the fence, nobody wants to surrender offices, and our Dr Fatimah and MP Lam were reportedly not dare to ask Minister Khaw questions, the cries for change are getting disturbing louder, and everyone is looking at the NMPs newly selected to assess the government’s human resource management, minister Khaw himself has started a blog as BG Yeo has. Why do incumbent politicians need to blog when even minister Lui is talking about the powerful Mainstream Media vs the… nosensical blogs? I find those curses and nosense disturbing. This is what 100% educated population… and my bloody foot. I am more inclined that the senior stateman to last for more years, to see what phase 3 is like, to see the noises go beyond control, and hopefully he can keep critters at bay. The juicy premier-ship would be exposed to an open fight once the greatest elder of PAP is gone.

So I have chosen to mark his 86th birthday tendering my request for a break from partying with PAP to the minister; this will be my birthday gift to MM Lee to celebrate his 86th birthday. Politically speaking, it’s a gesture of my great respect to him that there were indeed more honorable people within the party and to remind him of the heavy burden of governing Singapore. It’s something more higher class, and deeper, than the small blue crudely made book to understand. Hopefully in good time, he’d get to understand the point of this ‘gift’. There are things he’d have to understand decades ago but he obviously did not get to pick up. This is the most difficult to understand gift than the one at Sgforum. The simple puzzle of the Sgforum is to point out the type of people the MM is likely to be angry with… of minister Lui would be finding adversaries of… Most of them are simpletons. You go and sue them, you only got more simpletons’ petty retailiation. Just a simple thread reflects a lot of things; why dirty any hands to bother with simpletons who will never stop, who will just simple-mindedly be agitated? And they are the population, the society, the madness created after so many years of wonderful governance! I don’t want the respected MM to resort to anything to end up with dirt down in history just because of petty simpletons who are crawling around this cultural desert like useless ants. This is no what great leaders should be doing.

As it was, I am still not in favor of exploiting legal threats over Sgforum while the Queen of simpletons Fireice has banned me for eternally of a forum with little value to me. Gifts from thinkers are very interesting. I have no money for lavish token of appreciation. At this point, something happens to the editing here… An entire update was ‘updated into no update’… A whole bunch of chatting was gone with the title ‘corrupted’.

Anyway, while Japan’s LDP has indeed fallen, if indeed MM does have backers from LDP, it’d be very interesting to see how DPJ would be controlled, and how DPJ would be able to clean up the bloody mess left by LDP. All the best to new party in power. Other than that, my current attention is now on Latin America… let it be a secret of why the focus is swifting there. Hahahahahaha… Frankly put, when Elfred’s eyes move, something will always happen, and it is usually significant eventually. Welcome to the age of politics…

Anyway, if anyone were to assume I’d do anything to jeapordise my future political prospects… you’d have to wash your brains. I am no Ti Lik, I don’t pretend to go traveling or fuck around anyohow without my wife’s consent. Hahahahahahaha… In order to understand what I am doing, you’d have to be at least thinking on the right path as I am.  Basically, to put it this way… For any thinker like myself, our role is to shine by supporting a worthy leader; which is also the reason we are very particular in whom we serve because that determines whether we’d shine or not. Which also means, we are not particularly marketing ourselves to any leaders in the marketplace and peddling our services. Heard of this: 姜太公钓鱼，愿者上钩. Top class thinkers must find the most compatible leaders as they would need the best thinkers to shine in their leadership industry down history. It’s a mutual thing.

There is one puzzle… why explain now.

As time flows by, it becomes clearer of what thinkers like myself are thinking, which is why I can even blog a memoir before many things happen. If I were to step in any earlier, it’d be definitely by God’s will that he wants none of these mess happen… but that’d mean Singapore would have a 20yo minister… Hahahahahahahahaha… Unlikely an event. The current PM will likely hang on for a few term in spite of the… challenges he is getting. Calculating the situation, since the real need to ultimately clean up the mess comes rather later, any governmental prospects will depend on what type of administration is in the market, and most important what type of leaders because this will be the option of possible platforms to make the jump. In my case, if God were to inject me into such million-bucks position, I’d be very inclined to retire rich asap… Hahahahahahaha… Damn, I hate politics, and frankly put, in my own assessment, even if I were to be a minister… can I really change anything? Indeed, many many things to do… from education to the manpower, to the defence ministry and down to national development, but let me be pragmatic here… If I were going to argue that ‘Hey, MM… we’d need to clamp down on those nosense in the finance industry…’ a few years back in the golden era, you’d definitely provoke those banking influence, citing how much they are contributing to the economy and how wonderful they have helped to create jobs… and do you think MM or SM will listen to me? Hahahahahahahaha…

Impossible.

Which is actually very simply this… history has always reasons for its course. It would be deemed useless to explain that much, to even fight for a chance to be in the government. I mean for what?  If they do listen  for once or twice, even if they realise how wonderful it would be to avoid such problems and risks, many people would be after the credits. The white population is a problem, in such instance, they must be taken care of eventually. But not now. How to walk into power for me is actually pretty obvious. But Singapore’s not likely to go the exact path as what has happened in Japan. Assuming LDP does still control (say) the police and the courts, but now they are in chinese ‘大势已去’, Hayatoma’s task would be to tell them: Will you be with me, or to be with the disposed? With the majority, you can change anything, including the consitution, you can place anyone in election and pull him or her into politics. Given the kind of scandalous governance the Japanese have enjoyed all this far, it’d be as if asking Malaysians to accept Mahathir back as Premier…

Placed before MM is a very simple future that Elfred can generously present to him… After he is gone from politics, plenty of ambitious sharks will be coming for the top positions, since nobody will be as influencial enough to hold them back. Powerful business leaders, powerful NGO leaders, powerful foreign powers backed individuals or organisations, and powerful civil lords… a portion or all will asking such question: I’m a better leadership material, why should I let others make me their subordinates… Why should I be threatened to be disposed off by another’s aides? And oppositions including Dr Chee and those sperms-dripping critters will also be asking themselves: Now with MM out of the way, we have suffered so much, why won’t push even harder…? With the public assessment of the PM and without obtaining the legacy needed, MM must confront with this reality. Although everyone is saying yes to him now, very soon… the sweet juice will draw even more maggots.

Does he not want the New Father of Singapore to emerge?

Or does he really think that when some dishonorable critters with totally substandard of political thinking were to enter politics and gain control, the PAP can last till to be elected again as in the condition the people were to have it disposed?

Does he really want any rich Tom or egoistic Dick and clueless Hairy to be in power?

Though the future won’t be much of his preference since he won’t be around anymore, I really suggest the MM to think hard for the sake of Singapore and all the stakes placed on the table. It’s only natural that leaders want to remain solidly strong in power but… what if? And what sort of Singapore would that be? Or is he really counting on the oranges to just fall from the skies into the PM’s hand when he needs good people for future elections?

During the final years of LDP, amazingly… those people are still fighting over scraps of power left on a rocking boat. Commoners should realise what politics is. This is politics. So really very ugly… most of the time. The Men In White tells of how Mdm Lee had hoped that Mr Lee would be unseated… Well, you unseated him, the next guy to run your neighborhood could be most disgusting than you want it to be, and MM might not even get to be what successful lawyer… and could end up worse than an unemployed Elfredinario. Hahahahahahahaha…

So to be or not to be?

Not the issue now. From China comes news that there is an opportunity for me to stay permenantly… Well… Good, but taken with a pinch of salt. In such time, to be able to migrate and let Singapore’s situation runs its full course is more desireable than to be too involved. Rather than to lead a 100,000 men in demonstration against the government for nothing, I have a more important job as the New Father of Singapore: My Baby Boy. LDP may fall, Obama may be struggling, but I suppose only my baby deserves the care of the New Father of Singapore. My birthday gift to the MM is probably the biggest contribution to Singapore he’d get for recent years from anyone. Sometimes I looked at his adorable innocent eyes… He has chosen to come to this world as a Singaporean… to be the boy of The New Father of Singapore, we have thought of sending him to China and become a China citizen as his mother but…

It’s a big risk we have taken to make him a Singaporean, because what sort of future he’d have in Singapore…? I really don’t know. Would he be entering politics? Would he have to struggle like his father to clean up a big mess?  Would he love to replace me and take over my burden? Would he be better off a China citizen in a huge market, and enjoys real fresh air, friendship and the marvelous cultural caches that he can pass down to my grandsons, his children?

Baby… will he be able to inherit?

Anyway, the grassroots have many parties and events, in the event that I have to wait for the eventual migration, being a grassroot is thousand more times better than to be a YP for a bochap New Father of Singapore during the lull years. Currently, people are expressing themselves with regards to the high cost of HDB flats, but minister Mah has recently done something right with property curbs. It’d avoid further embarassment for the PM and the MM. After all, if everyone is to get rich by speculating on people’s roofs, who will work on realistic things and how can people afford homes when homes become fragile investments… ever so subjected to instabilities. You can manage finance in the stock market, but people’s homes… home sweet home mah~

Taiwan is reporting a surge in unemployment rate… Hmm… Would Mark Ma really need no Elfredian offer? Obviously, as expected, China’s not going to make Mark Ma any stronger since who wants the next president to lead a strong Taiwan in the fight for independence? Beats me if China ever does it. Makes political cow sense… Hahahahahahahaha… If Mark really needs help, this state doctor here doesn’t mind make an offer. But given the current condition… this deal will cost Taiwan about S$15m and I’d need about three bloody years. Interesting case…

In real, back over in Singapore, if I were to enter politics, it’d be likely to be contesting for a GRC. The rationale is very simple. Remember MM’s suggestion that people should take a SMC to ‘test’ their grounds then advance further? Hahahahaha… If somebody really wins an SMC, how do you manage the town council, the CC and those maintenance alone with all those machinery around? You’d be a sitting duck waiting to be condemned for incompetency. Hahahahahahahahaha… Actually, unless you belong to SPP or WP where there are existing experienced mentor to guide you along, it only makes sense to take GRCs in order to share resources. Which was also why I expressed surprise that some people are trying to push WP’s Low out of the over-stayed SMC since he is unlikely to exit politics and he will be likely to return for a GRC. And the probability of getting a GRC is close to 100% in the election after this coming one.

If MM were to be absent from now… probably all 14 GRCs would be under siege from the oppositions and people under the neutral banners such as Tan Kin Lian or those forming new parties. Among the 14, such an attack could see about 3~4 GRCs lost in one go… assuming the PM’s unchallenged. With the MM gone, anything can happen. And I always wonder… why so many activists want him gone…? You’d probably need only 2 smooth elections to get a freak election in such a scenario. GRC system hence works both ways, the key is still on the leadership. With a strong leadership, any system may work; otherwise, any system can be at risk. Once the sharks smell blood, the show begins. And sharks are sharks not without their calibre.

Arguing with my wife, my insistence has helped cool down my baby boy’s fever… I must tend to my baby now. Global issues or domestic issues… what can be more important than my baby? Hahahahahahaha…

A Better Singapore: Post-PAP-Member Era.

Talking about a better Singapore is pretty useless when Singapore can’t even survive. As I have mentioned long before this crisis, we must remake the economy among other things. Alright, that was meant to be a part of defence against the coming crisis; Singapore recently is also having a committee in an attempt to remake the economy, however I doubt seriously they would succeed. This is because the economy… as I have mentioned in this idea that the more you focus on making money the more you’d likely to bang into trouble. Which was why I was arguing with a few jokers in the forum about this concept: Economic well-being stablises the nation.

I didn’t disagree on this in real, and as stated back then… the point is what’s the point when you don’t even know how to handle the economy? See? What’s the point of Economic Review Committee when you don’t realise the need to fend for an economic crisis you don’t understand? Of course… as jokers would, they persisted in arguing like some hollow vessels.

In my circular to interested parties especially who have made noise on me being… taking a break, waiting for my baby is important, but just look at how those governments recklessly raised debts to sustain the beautiful pictures. In Obama’s case, he’d have to raise close to USD30trillions to sustain all his dreams after he managed to raise USD4trillions and end up a deficit of USD9trillions. If we have gone ahead, USA would still have USD4~10trillions… the effect won’t be as marvelous.

But as most wealthy punters, what they want is quick and big money. God is not about money, however. Since this gust of fart is placed in command, you’d have to realise God doesn’t anyohow choose.

There are too ways to crush USA, one obviously is to move China to force-sell all those treasuries… which I doubt China would because they are holding USA as dog to a chain; a convenient move in place after years of planning. Frankly speaking, who in the right mind will buy in those treasuries backed up by mountains of deficits and incompetencies in such ridiculous amount? Since Wu Yi had given the game away, so we can talk about it in brief.

The other way is of course, to wait. Obama has no choice in my opinion but to raise the enormous national debts, and he’s going to increase taxations… Hahahahahahahaha… An Obama with powerful support is one thing, an Obama with huge national debts and decreasing support is another. Nobody would want the banks to fail… but at a point of time when Obama must reach out for this historical new heights in debts– USD30trillions, how many banks can he really save in phase 3? Hahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahaha…

Of course, of where he can raise the money of where the network would stretch. In fact, most smart states have raised debts, pumped in reserves and mortgage their future away, and I suppose even Soros would have seen this golden opportunities in this future. Those states who still have reserves sleeping in various vaults elsewhere or are financing USA… that means their currencies would be left less defended, and you don’t need the entire Euro5500b warchest to launch a significant project on those currencies.

So… what’s the fucking hurry? I really don’t understand.

True as I have said after phase 1 and 2, the US Dollar won’t be a trash paper and won’t depreciates the way Japan or Indonesia would due to strategic reasons. However, I never promised there won’t be nothing for the Dollar after that… As I have mentioned, this world is gonna celebrate disaster. Hahahahahahahahahaha…

The new stake holders who ain’t familiar with GOD must try to familiarise with our style. Antonio has already snapped up enough gold to make a killing as dividend. What’s the bloody worry? So far the story goes like this.

Back to Singapore, we can’t talk about stability when we don’t understand what is economy. In a way, I scorned at all those talking about building an economy whereby build build build build build, you see Tang Dynasty? The Tang’s Gold Era was built into disaster and… poof, gone.

So what is exactly the bloody concept of economy? Before anybody knows exactly what, you can forget about moving towards stability. From what I am seeing, during Mahathir’s time Malaysia’s economic figures did fly, but that was and is not the reason why people want him out forever. So was Soharto, Indonesia’s economic figures flew with World Bank’s praises, but in the end… somebody engineered a chaos and poof… a funny BJ Habibie took over. The biggest political joke comes from Thaksin who somewhat made the figure fly better than Abhisit at least for the moment, but he got smoothly removed… Yeah, without a fight he was bloodlessly removed.

Reality of politics… People in this well can’t be blamed for making nosensical nosenses; they don’t realise that trillions size economy can plunge into nothing overnight… alongside with the fate of many arrogant millionaires or billionaires.

Obama’s wish is not hard to understand, he’s gonna make the poor Americans struggling to keep their roofs or on social welfare to face a future of squeezing more monies on useless insurance premiums which will probably increase over time; that is when he is desperately trying to raise government revenues to cover his ass which the oppositions are expectedly poking at non-stop. So why do you think I ever even offered to assist Obama to cut his bloody deficit down by half? This guy is going to introduce something similar to Singapore’s medisave insurance scheme without understanding the political and financial impact hidden behind. Of course his support would drop and protests will whine and whine and whine. Americans are not as silly as Singaporeans, not to say that’s not the Elfredian way to deal with a rising cost of health care.

It doesn’t matter if it is naive or pure well-meant, he is threatening his political career as the first black in the White House. Pains my bloody heart… because he could have become historically a celebrated variety president. Actually from the very start, this black dragon was jumping erratically… Now he’s being stucked in such a political crisis with plunged public support and mounting global pressures, even if he offers USD100trillions… what can anything be done? He can flow along with the path he has chosen for himself. Whether he’d last another term is now an obvious question mark.

Of course, I have hoped that USA could hold up well, it’s a condition for God to enjoy watching, since otherwise divine intervention would be as bees attracted to honey. USA’s economic bubble… once burst will have enormous impact even on the proud oriental dragon, nevertheless the dragon will still stand pretty proudly because God has basically no intention to press down too hard, thanks to the rising India economy. In economic term, this is balance of power. In the event that USA’s bubble was pricked burst, God will organise an increase in capital inflow via increasing export volumes for China… which is the real need for those impatient newbies.

Because after phase 3, what we want is a relatively healthy China and India economy so that when USA is trying to stand up again, we can be lizard and snake hunters. Interesting fairy tale, isn’t it…? Hehehehehehe… By then, we can finance struggling USA via snapping up lands and such placed on cheap auctions.

The reason why you are reading such fairy tale is of course… you are again welcomed to see a marvelous show. Do you really think Obama can raise another USD30~35trillions in a short time as God hits at the joints of the network…? Well, it’s about the same as God has done on the Asian Financial Crisis.

Keynesian salvation… yeah yeah~ I have no time for textbook economy. I am not a scholar, see?

It’s a highly profitable and legitimate piracy with a much much lesser risk just to wait for a while. With so gold in hand, we’d just make sure gold got stucked as everyone runs for cover…

God hasn’t even really started, and the world is celebrating that they have avoided what Depression II… Strange.

If you like more stories, be sure to tune in. Hahahahahahahahahaha…

A better Singapore can’t come with puny concerns. People always forget that this is really a tiny boat, whether it is wooden or it becomes golden, it’d be capsized once the tidal waves come without good hands. Many irresponsible noises suggested Singapore can this can that but… frankly put, just noises… You see apple has a hole, you apply super glue type of thinking.

It’s actually more easy for such a boat to capsize than people would want to imagine. If large submarines as debt ridden USA could be struggling, nothing can happen. Qing dynasty was one obvious example.

How many people had tried to stop a crisis in futile, wasting precious lives and happiness… Wars after wars internally, fixings after fixings, China finally reached a communist state from Qing to Yuan Shi Kai to KMT, and still… the fight never really ended, casualties continued to climb.

I am really tired… tired of all those pretenders and fucking silly noises which just don’t care… We have only one boat, and this is the way we deal with it. How can people not wanting to migrate? Does Singapore have any future? What is the use of fighting and fighting and fighting over milk to be spilled…

Tell me.

All across histories, men on one side wanted power and fought over it, men on another side wanted a better home and migrated everywhere for it. In theory, before the interests come to a balance, there will be no better home. Competition is about deprivation, a home is for every citizen… Confucius himself was attacked by the rotting critters, was slighted by the ignorant farmers, and the era continued into chaos. Sigh…

You can never make any difference with one thousand years of membership. A better home would only come probably when a tidal wave hits the boat hard enough without sinking it completely.

But with a cultural desert… do fat critters even care if a boat does sink  or be in pieces? After all, the boat is the meal itself.

Man… ever so disgusting, ever praying for a better world.

I am feeling it so pointless to clean up the mess… It’s the feeling of to be cleaning up a pigsty knowing that the next day, pigs will mess up again. So what if the world has its very own darling third world war? So what if White House is vaporized? So why must Elfredinario be involved…?

The world is full of bloody sickos… they probably don’t deserve a better world. Even with the third world war… after 1 decade, people will forget and God will see them all struggling to go to hell again.

Pigs will never learn, men will never change. Historically speaking, one dynasty fell after another; tomorrow, another LDP will be toppled, another man could be jumping into MRT tracks, another uncle could rot in HDB, another fight in court, another day means another not so unusual history made. What’s really that new?

By the time I finished the last moment of education, I have lost much interest in histories. Everywhere, to the funniest American Civil War… it’s all about lingering power and the struggle for a better home… till now.

The new prospect in China… It’s a bigger pinch of salt due to the previous Beijing settlement plan. Not because it’s not done on goodwill, but something usually goes very wrong. The prospect of a winter coupled with unbearable pollution was pretty hard to swallow. But in terms of a quiet life, one puny home in a humongous China would do fine. Even if it’s just teaching in a town as my wife’s, it’s a good life to me already. The situation in Singapore will take time to evolve, to reach maturity. But seeing so many talented people out in the cold in China, this state doctor sees little prospects.

But experience in China is now a springboard to Europe. Pretty hilarious…

Well… I am not so keen in making a better Singapore out of a tiny China island nowadays. It was possible in the past, but even China is entering a varied phase of its own. Indeed, as China continues down this path, it will need governing talents to the extreme but… need is need, I mean, who in this world doesn’t want to fend against crisis but to wait it out? Percival also didn’t want to be a prisoner of war. But reality is, this was the type of commander the Queen prefered. See?

Even Samak rather got ousted than to give some business to Elfred. Hahahahahahahahahaha… So… …

So let’s check out prospect. Who knows, maybe things would turn out real fine.

Nobody respects talents nowadays. I remember in YP Forum that went like this: Elfred is wise, so what (happens to him)…

Hahahahahahahahaha… What so what? I just sit on the fence.

A thinker’s fortune always lie with an appropriate leader happening in the horizon. It’s not as if indulgence in job market for a part time… And a thinker’s goal are both the gold and the history he or she would be part of.

How can I be compared with some sperms-dripping leaders-wannabes or what self-shiok hollow brains who can’t even tell policies the way you tell the right side of a gun?

Singapore… a state now flooded with celebrating simpletons… Sometimes, I feel sorry for Mdm Lee. Such a fine wife called vegetable and names and cursed by a rugged population of bloody simpletons. Behind a successful man usually is a great woman.

Behind oddities usually is a population of simpletons.

The Online Citizen And A Wayang Party.

Here come two articles tossed at comrade Lui: http://temasekreview.com/?p=13437 and http://theonlinecitizen.com/2009/09/not-mainstream-media-not-new-media-then-who/ My retirement from the party comes after the current term, so it’s still comrade Lui. It’s mere political formalities since before Elfred were to lead a 100,000 strong demonstration or a 300,000 strong match to parliament against the party, I am still ‘a friend of PAP’. Hahahahahahahaha…

It’s about the same that before I got to migrate, I am still very much a Singapore citizen.

The missing pieces of comrade Lui’s talk seem to be located littering around cyberspace now. I’d definitely be one of those who’d find it strange if Lui doesn’t express certain things such as adversaries and controls. In real, it’s about time the water begins to boil…

I remember many years back when the ministers were singing to the beauty of nation-wide cyberspace liberalisation and promoting the excitment of blogging, I saw the need to express that I was and am not in favor of opening the floodgate that early. I was also the one who first suggested the danger of ‘百花齐放’ in YP forum，a shocking publicity move with adverse political effects during Mao’s time. I deemed it a duty, and most importantly a politically needed move, to send that possibly irridating email.

Of course, it was not because Elfred has no tolerance on the nosense ever hence released in such scale. In fact, unless they bother with my beloved wife, I don’t care how I got the ‘PAP-styled bombardment’. Hahahahahahahahahahaha… Embarassing but true, this is the type of things you can expect from those smarties online. In my understanding of things, I very much doubted from the beginning that the leaders can subdue those craps, and in chain effect, we can see for ourselves the mockeries and snowflakes fired at PM Lee especially after every honorable National Day Rally, and that kind of rally on the netizens’ part can only have what effect on the MM… as his sons were cursed, his daughter being mocked for her single status and his wife being laughed upon for still resting peacefully…

The particular need to tender up that kind of irridating email was precisely based on my own thinking that eventually MM will want to start governing, or controlling or whatever term you want to coin it. After a happy policy cheering, now then you want to have a policy reverse and apply the brakes… the friction incurred for such going against such high speed development would not be pleasant and would definitely be noted unfavorably down in the modern history of Singapore… very much as Cold Storage had.

This actually comes at a time when a huge and growing portion of electorate to be are youngsters… …

…

…

Now people know what is ministerial calibre… sometimes you need to do things that will definitely irridate. Hahahahahahahahaha…

In my view, however, neither do I really want the new media to be controlled, nor do I expect the cabinet to take my view into consideration, which is actually why I had emailed. The grassroot situation had become an issue during that time. Alot of strange strange things are happening, and I expect that the new media will catch the political fire and evolve into another Malaysiakini or something. As the MM mentioned about the role of the media, the use of it to ‘expose’ and keep things in touch, if I am not recalling wrongly. And as some people have mentioned, too many people have disappointed MM and betrayed him as power is ever so corrosive.

One can say that I stand proudly during my time as an active YP because how can there be no one after so many years of PAP development who would voice out on the media and on the Golden Era celebrations? While the MM may be irridated, but at least someone did make the noises. And it seems to be always this gust of fart…

Those people who are after freedom and liberalism have no self-restrain themselves. The way they freely attack and take things in their own hands, the way those businesses with money try to have a bigger online voices and are supporting behind the scene… They are not for freedom nor for liberty. They just want to be more influential, more powerful and they want the government out of the way…

Nay~ Nobody would thank me, it’s a part of politics and it’d be hilarious to expect anything nice for doing the right things. Which was why I exited MOE teaching simply without even wanting a fight. For what? We have to observe what sort of political environment that we are in. In a true Golden Era, elements as myself would already be ministers.

As I have mentioned, the pets can become the pests… once the sun rises again. I’d be myself and stay on the path heading towards the sun…

Lui’s talk yielded the sentiment over such social-politico blogging as Viswa’s reply has obviously hinted the leading sentiments on the adversaries. Hahahahahahaha… Now the point is, MOE would terminate Elfredinario, what would the government be able to do to a massive thousands of real havoc? Hilariously, you take out the nice guy in the same camp and you can’t do anything to the devils. Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

Pardon my bluntness, I can only have one word for this: Pathetic.

But which also means Lui has placed himself in a very… catchy situation. Even if he doesn’t like my watching of porns online as any adult in Taiwan would do, I hold no grudge against him. Does he understand who started this push of blogging to such new heights? How many ministers were in this? And you cannot call your people adversaries… especially when many are not old people who’d readily vote the party in. Doing so, in political term, may make Lui a liability. I doubt MM will go on stage and call Singaporeans ‘nothing-better-to-do adversaries who just can’t enjoy enough defaming his children and attacking his innocent wife’. What MM wants is a subtle approach, not one roaring at the crowd and expect them to listen.

It’d also place the PM in a very embarassing political situation. Well, you tried to establish a liberal image, you have gone through so much as being condemned by the folks and now you wanna reverse policy and the control of something that may not be even meaningfully controlled… This will not only place the PM at risk, but risking him to be an international joke as well.

This floodgate… you either keep it close and regulate the flow right from the start, or you already have a good idea to deal with the massive addiction after you yourself open it up. I call it an addiction because… look at those peple… do they sound normal to you?

And it is apparent that comrade Lui doesn’t seem to understand that while many media people seem to be ‘obedient’, many of them are in fact part of this mud-slinging game… Cold Storage, if I am not wrong, also involved people from the entertainment side. The adversaries… may not be merely those you can see… Which is why one can’t afford to be lax and careless in the capacity of a minister.

It is most importantly so because the MM is already up in his age, and many ministers may have their individual stances and public records on the new media; BG Yeo (eg) has been very active in his exposure to those online, that while he may support controls, who knows what controls and conditions any minister would be holding onto.

But actually, even if Lui won’t offend anyone, as long as you are a PAP member, you’d have to be prepared for the arrows. Read this: http://www.mrbiao.com/blog/lui-tuck-yews-one-sided-argument.html

See?

This is not the military, in fact… the military is under the political sphere as a component just that very few Singaporeans would acknowledge that. They are no supremacy position to command. As one is from the military and with so much things happening in the military for NSFs, it might be good that Lui be aware of the public’s perception of a commander in politics.

Political sphere is a very… exceptional place. A minister is supposedly there to support the Prime Minister in his governing and influence over the state.

New media is a very sensitive issue, hence, in and outside the cabinet. It also is one linked to influences and would increasingly affect the outcomes of elections. In real, you don’t have to be popular to the havoc online. However, if you intent to contain it you have to have that preparations to contain already before you even talk about it.

Fireice and those jokers simply detested Elfred. If Elfred ever posted something hinting a support for MM in Theonlinecitizen, you can get the maximum thumbs down… But I’d never suggest a control, to sue or to make anyone disappear. You wanna control, do you have the controls? If you sue, would that sound right to the havoc and stop them? If you wanna make anyone disappears, you must be prepared to make all of them disappear. But do you know where ‘all of them’ may lead to… …

Just as I have mentioned, in the case of WP’s Low Thia Khiang were to come to power, he himself may not tolerate the very tools which have pushed PAP out and WP in… as he would probably discourage Goh Meng Seng from online involvement.

Just as the online havoc has no respect for the MM, they cannot be reasoned with… Why do you need to stir the havoc and be bothered about those devils without first knowing what to do? Credibility is not important to those free online tabloids. What they want is readership, sensation, fuel for flammings, and apparent target for hollow bravery… they dare not stand against MM in elections, they dare to hence snipe behind puny anonmities and proxies…

I myself have been encountering all those nosense, mud-slings and character assassinations in forums, and undergone what PAP-styled bombardment and being called a gigolo… Hahahahahahahaha…

Look, these people don’t really give a damn to the Father of Singapore, they won’t give a damn to any others in Singapore. After Cold Storage, this is what you got. After Dr Chee had been brought to courts so many times, what difference does it really make? During the boom years since the 70s to the 80s… the one thing that made people to support the party and the leaders were not really controls. Social justice was prevailing, and under PM Lee Kuan Yew nosense were not allowed, craps never stood a chance, great leaders were there… comment boxes were there, MPSs were there too, but words of mouths were good for the PAP in general.

Why?

Those are the very same people who had praised the PAP with great deeds bestowed and cited, of whom are also criticising the PAP now as retirees, CEOs and residents for high costs of living, for alot of things happening. PAP was God’s gift to a people stucked on a barren rock. They praised God… wasn’t it so? Now many jumped to hell or have embraced the devils…

Along the way, comrade Toh Chin Chye left… comrade Goh Keng Swee left… comrade Danabalan and Hu Chi Dao left… now Elfred also is leaving.

I sometimes think of the good old days… I really miss the good old days.

Which is probably why God has sent the New Father of Singapore. This game may not be ending after all.

Forget about the noises… what exactly is the most important thing at hand… …

The Wayang Touch On Spice.

I will touch on two topics in this section, 1. Lee’s comment about political leaders are not trained and need to be found, and 2. China’s rise as global leader.

Well… political human resource management again.

He’s quite right, in a way.

In assessment of people’s thinking modes so far, there are usually two types… those who should make political decisions and those who can’t. Accordingly put, here’s a simple scenario:

What’s your take on Bush’s war against Afganistan in his first term and second term?

Write down your take and read on.

For the above, there is no right or wrong answer; it all depends on how you define right at times. Before the war, Iraq had ‘Weapons Of Massive Destruction’, we are a small state within a UN setup, so what is your stance? After the Weapons Of Massive Destruction had become an international joke, depending on situation, you can choose to keep quiet or denounce Bush… bearing in mind that still Singapore is a mini-state within a UN setup without even Veto powers. The reason why most netizens can’t handle politics nor governance can hence be shown from the way they took their stances. Some had their positions in what they think is right, some had their positions by intuition or what I consider mere ‘feeling’. So let me illustrate with the following:

Likely scenario in the post-LKY era

Some political analysts have predicted that without the elder Lee to hold the fort, factions will eventually emerge in the PAP leading to a repeat of 1962 when 13 PAP MPs broke away to form Barisan Sosialist.

(1)This scenario is unlikely to happen because unlike the PAP old guards who are politically charged and motivated, the current batch of leaders in the PAP are mostly technocrats who have to be persuaded to join the PAP in the first place. They have little political ambitions or experience.

As I have explained in the previous series, the PAP is a largely monolithic party with (2) power heavily centralized in the hands of a few elders who make sure that only those who are unlikely to challenge them are appointed to positions of power.

Though some have suggested that there is a faction in support of Senior Minister Goh in the cabinet, (3) its influence had decreased after he handed over his position to the younger Lee in 2003 and replacement of his supporters like Yeo Ning Hong with a fresh slate of leaders who owe their allegiance to the Prime Minister.

Given his advanced age and the senior position he held in the cabinet now,(4) it is almost impossible that Goh will leave the party or launch a coup from within. He is a 100% establishment figure aligned to the Lees.

(5) The present cabinet ministers have little ambition to challenge or replace Lee and are likely to toe the line. When Health Minister Khaw Boon Wah was asked by a resident during a dialogue session at Kovan Community Center whether he had any ambitions to become the Prime Minister, he blurted out immediately: “What? You want me to get into trouble?”

The PAP is not a political party. (6) The ministers do not have a power base of their own. They are simply “mandarins” appointed by the “Emperor” to take charge of certain departments in his “empire”. The media, police, treasury, grassroots organizations and whatever else is left are all firmly controlled by the “Emperor”. No matter how talented a “mandarin” is, he has to kowtow to the “Emperor” whenever he is in his presence.

Now that we have dismissed the probability of an internal split with the PAP, it leaves us with only one likely scenario: continuation of the status quo.

In a post-LKY era, Singapore will still be closed politically under the conservative PM Lee. With the population thoroughly depoliticized, the opposition weak and divided, and the electoral system being manipulated to guarantee a PAP victory, the PAP can be expected to breeze through the next 2 elections. The opposition will not make any headway other than perhaps winning a few token more seats which is already “reserved” for them anyway by the “reforms” initiated by Lee which guarantees 18 non-PAP voices in Parliament.

This is taken from http://temasekreview.com/?p=13598 done by a Eugene Yeo. I am not trying to offend Eugene but… this is a piece basically done based on intuition. The first part is right and wrong. There are factions within PAP already, but there are not likely to just split in the way Barisan Socialis did. Why he got the right part is not because Eugene understands but he obviously feels that is the way. I have already touched on this before albeit briefly, but I’d explain all those points up there and let people get a picture of how dangerous such thinking would be as political concerns and to derive a future.

First of all, many PAP old guards were a result of friendly invitations into the party, and if I am not wrong the infamous elder Goh Keng Swee was one of them, the others included Lim Chin Siong and even Tony Tan was a well-known example. Dhanabalan simply left when he got a high chance of fighting for PM-ship with MM’s recognition. You see, just because people are invited into the party doesn’t mean anything. They can still conspire and fight for premiership or they can just left. If Lim Chin Siong and gang were invited into PAP, they could go the Dhanabalan’s way… or they could stage a split. But in the current days, it would be a split that immediately kicks all those defectors from parliament and the party. This is the point I have made before. In terms of technocrats… one of the biggest technocrats would be Goh Keng Swee himself, and the other… Lee Kuan Yew, and in fact many of the first batch stood out because they were ‘technocrats’ in a turbulent time. Goh Keng Swee was a professional in government sector, Lee Kuan Yew himself was a professional court fighter, Tony Tan has his background in the banking sector… Can technocrats not fight?

MM always say this: I can still fight…

To me this point is a big nosense because even in China as more technocrats are introduced into the government to replace ‘inherited aristorcracy’, political fights are though unseen but real. I have seen many unnamed casualties over there which I have no intention to remember. When MM and his gang started the fight, how much experience do you think they have as compared to the elite class colonial masters? If in the most unlikely event that MM were to knock at my doors, this Elfred may be invited as well but frankly speaking, while I have no beaming resume to back up this invitation… can anyone suggest that I am not politically charged and motivated?

Hence to the next point, that yes… there will be people who can still challenge the PM, just as MM was expectedly ready to remove PM Goh Chok Tong and another can fight for the position. This is now apparent in ‘Men In White’. The correct description is that powers have been almost always being concentrated only in MM’s hand. And PM is not an elder to SM Goh so we cannot includ the PM as elder since this is not politically correct and set the PM in the same league as Toh Chin Chye, Goh Keng Swee and even his father. In sharp contrast to this point, assuming MM has just made comrade Goh Chok Tong as PM and suddenly MM got an heart attack… can Eugene explains to me would not Ong Teng Cheong, Dhanabalan, Tony Tan and many others able to challenge comrade Goh? Fact is, the ‘wooden’ comrade in MM’s description was not his first choice. Even comrade Lee Hsien Loong could challenge Goh. I am not saying they will challenge, but to say that PAP only brings in people who are deemed weak and are sotongs is not exactly correct, though I never say wrong either. If we extend the house to includ higher management, people may have forgotten the dispute of the two Yeos. And the first elected President has yet a national funeral yet… You dare to tell me PAP invites idiots who are soft and weak… The late Ong Teng Cheong was among the younger batch when he took workers to the streets and marched for their rights when he was in the government.

Most importantly, comarade Tharman and comrade Vivian are both known as rebels… they challenged the government in one way or the other before. See?

Then we come to SM Goh’s influence… SM Goh’s influence actually lies in his commercial reach. That while he is indeed basically an administrator, his real power base (if you wanna call it) comes from an entire network of commercial interests which I am not in a position to further explain. And commercial interests influence the government directly, and that influence is gradually increasing. I cannot agree with Eugene on this point because this shows a simple intuition that to me is pretty baseless. Assuming MM is gone and PM Lee really becomes too sick and if… and only if SM Goh desires to control the situation in his own hands, he still can… in my humble opinion. If you can affect the economy, you can have a chance to oust alot of people. But given my understanding of SM Goh so far, he won’t directly want to be a PM in such an unlikely case. Who is Yeo Ning Hong? In this party, one comrade Jayakumar has the influence to overcome a lot of juniors not to say there is an entire house of many seniors… Which is actually the same issue I have raised on who will stand in as interim PM… You cannot be too light, you can’t be too heavy.

There are and will be always factions in any organisations. Some people love MM Lee, there are many more who will want him dead, curse his family, curse his underwear and so on. I have never seen a dynasty without factions. Even NTUC is one whole bloody faction. So this point is pretty strange… Even within Obama’s administration there are tons of factions. SM Goh’s influence is not really the issue in the challenge to the PM, it’s the PM’s very ability to govern and garner public support that really matters. It’s the same with Elfred’s eventual ministerial role in Singapore. Elfred has no influence, for now. He doesn’t bother about internet popularity. But when everyone is sinking and drowning, here he comes… The thing about influence is like this, internet has been celebrated for Obama’s rise to power, and now… it has been blamed for his rise. His support is now dropping and dropping and dropping… as expected. Would he still have another term is an issue already.

Hahahahahahahahahah~

So about point (4), I can only say that given my understanding of politics, of Man… of history. There is no such things that who cannot do what. In Qing Dynasty during Kang Xi’s early years, this Ao Bai had already become pretty powerful… he was the pillars of three bosses, he was relied upon to assist Kang Xi. He was most trusted by Kang Xi’s dad… Why Ao Bai eventually challenged Kang Xi may not even be due to his personal ambition. See? There are many many unforeseenable reasons as to how relatives or blood brothers go for the others’ necks. Which is why Elfredian saying is, you never trust people unless you can, and you always focus on what makes sense. Trust… is a ‘feeling’; there is no such thing as reliable feeling as compared to the ability to focus on what you want and to understand. Which is also why Elfred is looking out for a leader who is wise… he doesn’t have to trust me, because I don’t have to trust him as well. In politics, it is really about how to make a regime possible, and not how to make a pet out of everybody or to find that perfect angel…

In this point, here comes the old Elfredian thinking: What leader will have what kinda of leaders. Whether SM Goh will defect or revolt… whether Singaporeans will migrate or rebel, it will all depends on the leadership from time to time. So this point is pretty meaningless. After MM met the Plen, I supposed that made him pretty paranoid about who were beside him in the party. In ‘Men In White’, some people dismissed MM’s paranoidal view of some he labeled communists, but how many of those people have met the Plen? And if MM Lee never even mentioned of this meeting, we’d have a historical gap in understanding why a struggle took place to such an extent.

So…

Interestingly speaking… MM was reportedly shocked that two heavy-weight ministers wanted out ‘when they themselves supported the choice of SM Goh as PM‘. It would likely to be so if comrade Jayakumar were to want out now in such a sensitive time. In real, within the cabinet, ministers have their own thinking… since they are all different. Minister Khaw’s response is his own thinking, how he’d view Elfredian Enclave and how MM would may not be what Siamese Twin do. That’s especially when PM Lee took over from SM Goh that many policies… in my opinion deviate from what if MM were to be deciding. MM holds considerable influence, but in real many decisions must be made among the ministers themselves. And ministers themselves, alongside with their personal secretaries, have to prove their worth… so how can they be the same and trying to toe party lines like some bloody lambs do? You can expect heated arguments on issues, and as the previous transport minister said directly in my face, it’s something like it’s very hot to be in PAP… In such a mega-organisation which is the prime of Singapore, how cold or hot it is all really depends on how the PM handles the party. But to say that everyone is a lapdog… it would be pretty far-fetched. And to say minsters don’t have ambitions… this is an insult to intelligence because if this is the case, then the MM won’t make a case out of the need to spend so much to hire political leaders… If this is the case, MM won’t even need the system to ensure defected MPs to be bounced out of parliament via the constitution.

Many things are happening… just that commoners won’t even get to hear about them.

In a way, don’t forget about the YP exco’s remarks on Calvin, the NMP chosen by the government… It is apparent why some veterans are pretty disturbed by the Women’s Wing on this issue. May I hence ask, what party line are people talking about? The problem is not challenging the PM or the Lees, but… on what basis would such a challenge be made? Catherin Lim has also made such an… intuition. But what doesn’t make sense will never make sense. But comrade Khaw’s remark is sensible. He was imported from Malaysia and if he were to harbor any ambition of taking over the controls… he’d have to be very careful when the old folks are around. Basically, the myth about PAP’s shunning ambitious people is not real. The fact is, MM himself recognises the need for political ambition to be committed to push Singapore into survival. The problem comes when such ambition is backed by hollow baptism of fire or whatever… Just as our infamous sperm-dripping mother-fucker, Ti Lik. He was and probably is very ambitious… just as SDP’s weird understanding of foreign talent human resource management.

Ambitious, but hollow.

In a way, many of those that PAP has gone after in so many decades are really people with much ambition in various fields. If anyone tells me comrade Josephine is not ambitious, I’d laugh at you in the face… Of course, whether such political human resource management has prevented MM’s heart attack is another issue. It’d be up to him to think about, not me problem.

SDP’s Dr Chee and gang has ambition to challenge and replace Mr Chiam… So what point does Eugene really make? I don’t really get it.

The last point here is… the jist of the issue. I only have one question: Why does anyone think that nomination for NMP by NTUC enjoys such high chance of approval?

It’s very strange that people are talking about (eg) SM Goh’s faction and other factions then we have such a point that ministers do not have a power base of their own…(?!?) Put it this way, whether a minister would have any power base or not is all individuals’ issues. But why do we, including Elfredinario, need power bases? The basic question is, utimately speaking, that if a minister is able to support the PM in his governing and place him in a favorable historical position, why would a wise PM want to kick him?  And why would a minister who can work wonders partnering a supportive PM would want a power base to challenge the PM? And in such a small state, how big is a big power base? The races? The Unions? Or the internet?

Actually, ministers may have their own people in their own circles of trusts. Even nobodies in the party can have their own ‘networks’. If such power bases do exist, they will also be hidden very carefully in the dark until the need for them to shine. This assumption is probably done because Eugene may not really know the party so well. Say, a grassroot organisation does exist, but everyone in the grassroot organisation is rich and influencial and they want to support minister Z. These people are officially under one organisation but totally independent. Why not? Where was Tan Kin Lian before he took to the Corner? He can exercise his own choice. The reality is shown by certain events with regards to this ‘kowtow’ issue: Many decisions were made mostly without PM’s prior knowledge. The most infamous case was after the big promotion of blogging, a high level guy wanna sue a blogger… most embarassing, but this is not the only case. Then people was promised a law whereby the state shall exercise a soft approach towards when the police subsequently prosecuted some ass-fucking folks… if I not recall wrongly. Nobody probably informed Minister Wong when the police went after some small girls with White Elephants printed on their t-shirts or a grassroot guy who placed those silly cardboards all along the road. All these politically embarassing moments show one simple thing: Many things are not within the radar screen of the PM, and many civil lords simply move in without bothering about the PM’s embarassment.

And recently, comrade Lui became the minister for information and arts.

If comrade Ong SH were to be a minister and Ming Yi was never sent to court, nobody would have realised that we have so much charity funds which could be used for loans on private renovations.

So this piece of article easily illustrated MM’s sentiment about political leaders must be found, after so many were indeed found over the batches… gosh~ We have indeed plenty of trained lawyers, and now… even trained social workers with their PHDs and so on, and many people served MPSs and are all over the socio-politico blogs… But do you expect MM to perceive all these people deem appropriate for politics? Eugene got the conclusion right, but the way he got this conclusion… may not be that right.

The one thing that post-LKY era would promise, in Elfredian view… is a pretty ‘open game’ for everyone. People must understand one thing, that even when MM is still around, the PM is already flushed with louder and louder calls for change, and the people are pushing the limits, and Lui is showing frustrations with what socio-politico blogs,  and… … … does this look like we’d have a closed political environment with only PM Lee around? Things can get very ugly, but I suggest an ‘open game’ to be likely for post-LKY era. Whenever someone with such legacy would disappear from the stage, a huge vacuum must be filled by either chaos or another man of greatness. Since nobody wanna be the subordinate of another subordinate, things can become very messy. Between a difference among Mr Philip and Dr Lee, who actually wanna be the loser? Tell me.

So again, this gust of fart cannot agree with Eugene.

Which also explains why MM will not likely to get very high calibre political elements especially if he himself prefers to stay within the safe-house. Such people are suffering too long on the grounds and they prefer to wait, and hide in the shadows. By what leader shall have what leaders, what political environment would come in post-LKY era would all depend on what leaders God has blessed Singapore with, and by the deeds the leaders would choose will draw them what sort of leaders. Of course, PAP is out to stay in power, to win elections… but so was LDP. The noises on MM’s expression should understand that unless they choose to volunteerily upgrade themselves, they will remain as noises in time to come… that is impossible to reverse when they make noises at what can be very educational, or simply to resist upgrades.

The reason why we have to cover the MM’s thought on talent-search before we cover The Rise of China as Global Leader is because they are basically related. Why not?

What is the first requirement for a political fight according to Elfredian thinking?

Talents. The availability of talents is one thing, the use of talents is another. In Romance of Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao invaded Wu at Chi Bi. What happened was that Cao Cao had a friend of Zhuge in his camp, Xu Shu. But the way Cao Cao recruited Xu Shu or ‘led’ Xu Shu was all wrong. He kidnapped Xu Shu’s mother and forced him to defect Liu Bei, a typical control management example. Xu Shu kept quiet and found an excuse to evacuate himself and his men from Chi Bi before Zhuge set the entire Wei invasion force on fire.

After defeating the mightiest Yuan Shao who used to control the largest land and reserves of both men and revenues, Cao Cao lost heavily to a smaller force at Chi Bi that cost him so dearly he couldn’t afford another war for many years to come. What did Cao Cao lose in?

Talents. Because Xu Shu saw through the ruse, but he kept quiet. Actually, if Cao Cao were to be abit smarter, he’d have noticed something amiss when Xu Shu tried to run away. But after defeating Yuan Shao, Cao Cao became a proud all-know leader. He forgotten that during the campaign to fend against Yuan Shao, it was also a defected officer from Yuan’s camp that made the decisive victory for himself.

Westerners will never understand China’s deep political capability, and one which race is out to avenge for blood lost over historical shame and bullyings and merciless destructions brought to them by foreigners. In fact, Singapore being a Chinese-majority state also doesn’t comprehend China. But China has all sorts of critical weaknesses while appearing to be leading and increasingly forceful. The fact that Elfred could have moved to Beijing and returned to Singapore shows something. China could have kept Elfred in Beijing easily by offering a nice job which means the visa to migrate to China, and I’d be evacuated from Singapore happily. And Singapore’s mess will be left untouched, and no one can offer any help to Obama assuming if he would part with $1b in the first place.

Hehehehe~

China has not only the numbers to overrun Taiwan effectively in a short span of time, but China has plenty of high calibre thinkers probably no lesser than that of Elfred, though the ratio of such people is very very tiny as compared to China’s population. However, increasingly all these people are more and more left in the cold, and in place… many others are rising and rising to the top of their society. Which means, currently China is still very very deep… very very capable, but in the long run, they’d run into the same risk as Singapore with so many useless people in management in many sectors, and many taking high pays for being useless as those CEOs in USA and Europe. China’s cushion is its large presence and plentiful natural resources and a super huge market alongside with very low cost of labor. Singapore has none of those cushions which is why Singapore is already struggling with the PM stucked in more and more scandals and waiting desperately for global recovery.

I have been to China a couple of times, what drew me to China initially were the high calibre people… but China has become more and more unattractive precisely because I am seeing more and more high calibre people left in the cold, and I always worry about the future with such a concern on human resource management. Singapore’s problems are due precisely to plenty of high calibre people being slighted and plenty of papers-talents are replacing the management over the decades. The shocking development lasts till now, and we can see for ourselves the struggle of the PM, that in such a critical time… even Obama is killing his own political career by introducing what Singapore has introduced in health care. All these are the workings of scholars without a doubt.

China, given all the blessings it got, can’t be a prolonged global leader. During the 18th century, China ventured from a hugh surplus economy into a deficit fiasco and subsequently got invaded by the greedy coalition from all directions (towards the late 19th century). Opium, and most importantly corruption, forced China to its knees then to its near-demise… In international relations, when a country has everything, when no other states have much bargaining powers, this country will become the focus of annhilation because no governments want themselves to be annihilated by their interests at home being threatened.

China’s rise is the hope of Mao, actually Mao’s ambition was to show those Western powers of which he very much envied of that China could surpass them in everything. He wanted China’s industrial capabilities to be a direct challenge to Britain’s, and his many many political aides or people out to please him will go to any extent to bring him what he wanted even when it was beyond their capabilities to do so. So many commoners were killed by hunger and plenty of iron were lost as a result. Mao subtly regretted, but all the more felt the need for China to rise. Which was why he agreed to the tennis diplomacy and suggested that the USA to pretend to be still fighting with them while he secretly shall engineer a political link to them. To archieve this, Mao even passed his leadership to Deng Xiao Peng… a comrade he had plotted for many years to remove. The USA being eager to seize the moment and the enormous economical interests discarded Taiwan while maintaining security over Taiwan’s independence. Taiwan lost his place in UN to represent China, and China never attacked Taiwan.

From then on, China opened up with USA’s assistance in the shadow with Deng improving ties with USA and the west over the years making USSR pretty nervous as well over the years. USSR was in fact the only major concern to USA after Mao’s final years, not China. This part of history is concealed to many simplistic smart-alec Singaporeans who didn’t understand why Singaporean military presence was tolerated in Taiwan till recent years when China’s growth is obviously becoming too big for the World Police to shallow. With super cheap and competitive production capabilities… transfered to China from the west, USA’s deficits steadily climbed that Clinton had no choice but to resort to finance manipulation to return the economy to health. But credit expansion was still just a bubble. After Clinton left… the inexperienced Bush who didn’t even understand global politics made things worse by incurring huge military expenses that finally pushed thousands of families to resort to tier 3 financing for their homes. And the rest is what people are seeing now. Many companies happily shared a pie from the invasion of Iraq, those included Singapore companies. Elfred was watching quietly as well.

Weapons of Massive Destruction… Hahahahahahahahahaha… In the YP forum, I had already mentioned that Bush’s rise will be the demise of Iraq by hook or crook. Many years later, USA officials revealed one by one Bush’s insistence to invade Iraq from day one with whatever excuses he could obtain. There is no need to know how Elfred knew, or how Elfred knew about the Sino-Russian military alliance either. The point is, President Bush has his own personal agenda, and from that day on… China has become very agitated. Iraq (plus ironically Iran) has actually been a quietly friendly partner to China. In fact, the entire middle east had been a focus of Chinese political reach. The move by Bush showed the ‘instability’ of USA that to trust USA’s trigger’d be most ridiculous. When China was first beginning to embrace USA as a friend, USSR decided to follow suit, but USSR was ‘betrayed’ by USA… Gorbachev eventually stepped down in gross displeasure. China had been agreeable to military cut-down, but Bush’s moves had made the need for a stronger balance of powers. In order to counter the threat, Sino-Russia’s military tied-up was subsequently made known to the world. And Taiwan became, once again, a sensitive hot cake that Singapore’s involvement was for a moment intolerated… Our PM Lee was taken aback over the sudden outburst of China, understandably. And Singapore was no longer ‘needed’ for China-Taiwan talks.

I had… already hinted at the YPforum what this PM should expect… He didn’t really understand the situation. His administration even kicked Elfred out of MOE teaching… Hahahahahahahahahaha…

Well… …

LKYSPP recently have a talk about this… by a westerner. I decided to excuse myself because… it’s gonna be a total waste of time attending, and listening to fanciful theories and big ideas. Those people are paid huge monies precisely to talk about such things.  The current situation is that China itself is in a very undecisive future of gross uncertainties. They have to decide what to do with USA, not really Taiwan. War could be on the card. And who knows what Putin might incline to do… whether Russian military would provoke a war and nuke Washington that such a war could drag China in is anybody’s guess. The western hawks wanted China to be suppressed, China also knows Japan can’t be trusted. But there is no reason to place itself back into the 18th century situation, to make an enemy out of every state. Neither… well… does China trust Singapore. How can you trust a state with such close affiliations to the western powers and one which stance swings back and fro with economic interests…? And Singapore has become also a state that increasingly is becoming unacceptable to elements within China.

In the beginning, Singapore was hailed as a state very well-run, honorable, and people are treated fairly. But over the decades this image was blown off by despicable businesses operating in China and Hong Kong, and many immigration bashings done on China students didn’t help when those children returned to China and became rising officers or mistresses of influencial people. Not to say, many of those China kids faced with bombastic Singaporeans who cheated them while mentioning to them of their ‘close associations’ with people of importance in Singapore. Many China workers were also facing crook employers in Singapore, students were being cheated for their rental deposits, and many are driven into the sex trades. One Rebecca even made huge news in China because of a disgusting Singaporean CEO. And Singaporean tycoons were crushing with locals or local authorities… Suzhou was among the earliest casualties. Singapore being a state very much the size smaller than China was flooding China with such issues for years. Then a finance insititution sacked a China management leader over his criticism on Singapore, a rumor not really well-received by certain Chinese quarters.

China’s influence is particularly considerable in a neighbor of Singapore, Indonesia. Indonesia is not merely a sandy-supplier to Singapore but a historically huge trouble maker as well. Ever since Suharto’s fall, BJ Habibie’s bo-chap talks almost risked a return of Indonesian nightmare. Many of the most influencial Chinese were operating in Indonesia big times, and many influential Indonesians have ties to China as well. And that doesn’t help with many problematic Indonesians fleeing to Singapore with their gold mines. So it’s not very hard to understand why Singapore is getting hotter with the rise of China, especially when a tiny state is probably ready to sack another China leader who would criticise Singapore.

China has indeed risen from shambles to become very powerful, but to say that it is a global leader now is pretty far-fetched. If a tiny state as Singapore can be rumored to sack a China managerment as and when it pleases, to a face-loving culture, the tolerance apparently shows China’s underlying attitude towards this title of ‘Global Leader’. China clearly understands that being a unique civilization with such a historical burden, to rise to become a Global Leader would attract the most unexpected of animosity. Its people’s hatred towards the Japanese is as natural as people’s greed towards wealth, its people’s deeply embedded hatred towards those invasive civilizations is now a catchy problem as a timebomb hidden in the severe rich-poor gap. Xinjiang’s problem is driving up distrust and tensions with regards to the possible origins of the disturbances and the weapons. China’s rise also sees the rise of people returning to Marxism. The latter has been a confusion within the party’s youths and the authorities of which many cited communistic approaches in views being banged by authorities in various destricts seeking high growths and governing credits as a result from such growths. This is a particularly odd situation when people tried to figure out a diverse communist party now embracing capitalism in a socialist front.

Mao’s ambition of a rising dragon did not really address the possibilities of so many complicated outcomes in a blur of having a communist banner planted into the heart of capitalism. This is not made easier by the enormous energy to safeguard stability among the rivaling factions. Huge corruptions and abuses are not made better and various destricts are left to rise and fend for themselves while the more successful ones try to establish their superiority and expand their influence. This is compounded by problems of the rising clans of huge powerful multi-billionaires who have various agendas underground. As a single party dominant entity, China’s rise is feared not only by foreigners but probably by local leaders as well. If corruption could kill the almighty Qing Dynasty, corruption can still kill modern China with plenty of loopholes for foreign interventions.

But the biggest problem of China is not really corruption… The state has huge reserves and a controlled economy whereby capital flow is seemingly controlled. Is that really the case?

Then how could so many USA properties be bought by China residents? Where do their fundings come from, and how could they be leaked out of China? Fact is, huge amount of liquidity is channelled one way or another out of China, some to Hong Kong, Indonesia and even Singapore. Many Chinese established global businesses just for the simple purpose of transferring funds. The fact that DBS can lose so much money for China investors in Hong Kong shows China’s capital controls are full of holes. Recently, China released a mega amount of reserves to be pumped into the economy and… what we can see is huge dilution and inflation in property prices in only a few provinces… nothing else much.

Apparently, China’s top leaders understand the huge challenges behind this rise. But the suay thing is, China is as wasteful on talents as Singapore.

What China probably wants is to embrace the world and become one of the super powers, and not the only power. However, after joining the WTO and painstakingly opening up its market to political risks, USA is moving from opening up to protectionist measures. This is a highly expected development because… Obama would need to raise more and more debts for his political ventures, and he doesn’t really understand how to handle the economy and the governance, and he doesn’t exactly understand how finance really works. Interestingly, Obama dreams of a brake on consumption-driven growth without even understanding how to finance such a dream. And even Singapore’s SM Goh finally talked about the woes of inflation from consumption driven economics after he made calls for people who can spend to spend… How can Obama calls for a direction that will push for an increase of interest rate to deny another direction that will also push for an increase in interest rate? Hahahahahahaha…

See? That’s how global leaders kill global economy…

So before anyone in Singapore starts laughing at Obama, please… Singapore is not doing really better.

In such a situation, China’s rise would be of a dangerously forced position due to the weakness of all others. Such a rise would necessarily mean China’s need to beef up on military eventually, and it to have a much stronger Yuan. But would China’s internal demand be able to stomach the growth whinings of the world? Would the new Global Leader sacrifice itself to become a consumption driven economy and take over the deficits from USA and the rest of the world? Hardly possible. Given historical references, once China weakens it would only become a piece of meat to hungry eyes.

However, many hearts in China desire China’s eventual rise to be the one and only, to be honored as the state that supercedes the arrogant Yankies.

I am wondering… If Mao were to be still around, seeing such a situation, would Mao really want that hollow title  of a ‘Global Leader’? Hahahahahahahahaha…

Apparently, Singapore the tiny boat is moving into a very huge tidal waves with ridiculously large storms to come. The balance of power is becoming unstable and given the current calibre of the government, the chance of this boat staying afloat in such status is close to 0%. MM’s concern about getting talents for the future is right, but it’s definitely not just to win elections… Singapore relies on the world for almost everything. But the world will become something Singapore will not recognise in its current’s wildest imagination.

All the more amidst these silly meaningless fights in Singapore, Elfred must stir clear and enjoy the fresh air on the fence. No matter what, the safe-house MM built is upon a tiny boat, eventually I would be the only one who can float this bloody boat. So let those worms on the boat scream and shout and war against one and another. What do they know? What’d they care?

I’d be the New Father of Singapore, because I can because of the need. See?

The China’s rise to Japan is not really important. Nothing can be changed, see? What in real can Japan offer? What in real can Japan do to redeem itself and gain the forgiveness from China’s people? With what can Japan withstand that USA can’t? If China were to dump the entire bunch of treasury bills, China can still stand tall… Can Japan say of the same? In my view, China’s sort of Global Leader is better to be that as a board director whereby China is the most influencial among the allies, and not itself becoming the next World Police. My worry is hence, what sort of allies will China be blessed with…

Kim Jong II? Saddame Hussein II?

Don’t waste my time with nosense… please.

2010 Political Movement.

Apparently, the old father and new father of Singapore are both counting on this: Core Competency. I have no personal grudge against SDP, but bluntly put… I laugh at SDP’s core competency as illustrated in the previous chat here. With this they wanna rule Singapore… Hahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

I must laugh lah, they telling joke so you laugh. What MM thinks is very right as the smaller the boat the bigger the storm and the more the need for core competency… except that he probably forgets that the many rich party seniors are walking reserves themselves. And once the people were to remove PAP, it’d be already somehow a judgement made on the party’s core competency. In Elfredian political understanding, party names are just… names. By that time the oppositions got kicked out by the people, probably a new group of PAP people will be behind PAP banner, and alot of ‘grassroots’ of opposition incumbent will switch sides again if PAP were to be indeed returned to power. But what would have happened to Lee’s family would be hardly a guess.

What? You really expect Dr Chee and such will be very nice the moment they are in power or are part of what joint government? So I don’t suggest and will never suggest MM to think that way. Too dangerous.

However, it is precisely so that even if MM doesn’t wanna see the fall of the party, by tomorrow he might have received emails with people honestly telling him two are voting for PAP and three for oppositions… Core competency surfaces in this argument, and it belongs to Elfredinario’s argument, and the precise reason why he prefers to currently stay out. The PM has tried to address the people’s desire for change by stating that ‘if change must be, change must be made within PAP’. Nonetheless, this option is only available if a change within PAP can answer to the need of the people, which is back to square one: Unless you can change core competency, you can change whatever but nothing in real does change. I know that all too well… you’d need to get political human resource proper. With years of fat pay and best of the best selection efforts, to further best such pay and selection efforts already in place with influx of powerless NMPs won’t likely to change core competency with highfalutin ideas by NMPs. And smartly, the rest shut their mouths…

But Elfred is watching expectantly for the NMPs to open their mouths… Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

While there is no apparent need to, I have chosen the time after NMP selection to take a break from party membership and become a retired PAP member, and for the current situation, I’d nose around and see if there is a need to be involved in grassroot activities. I am way too righteous, way too vocal and way too intolerant to nosense to be a member. Actually, the official reason quoted is pretty solid, and I doubt PMO will blame me or what. Of course, it is not really inspired by Mr Danabalan’s quitting of government, but his move out was deemed respectable but unnecessary. Though, this points out the reality of PAP politics, that people do hold different views and there is no need to fight or slap over such differences. Becoming a PAP retiree since 2010 is actually quite behind schedule, though it apparently doesn’t make a difference. Unlike Tan Kin Lian, Gomez or Ti Lik, I have no intention to protest at Hong Lim or join opposition parties or what… unless necessary. If a leader is already found, I would have advised him/her to drink copi and relax on the fence for the precious moment. I have neither the intention to be perceived as desperately wanting to enter parliament by becoming an NMP.

The only thing I won’t say to future historians now is what solid reason I have offered to be a retiree. And to layman, political retiree from parties are pretty common; still, as and when necessary, we’d still be raising issues to the party as grassroot concerns in retiree stance. The good thing about being a party retiree is that you won’t be involved direct in politics so there is no concern of being a lapdog whatever, but you are not exactly outside the system and you can still raised issues deemed of interests to the state. As the MM had mentioned: Singaporeans should voice out about Singapore matters. This stems from a MM statement that: Singaporeans should be making decisions for themselves (and not the colonial masters). Actually… if you don’t talk rubbish and you hold no evil intention, your voice will be well received… I suppose.

This is in line with my current personal policy to fade away… perhaps to take care of my baby boy, to evacuate and for some personal travelling.

In real, this current period of time is a marvelous time to take a break after the record of being a YP. Historians might have been puzzled why the New Father of Singapore has no wish to meddle things in parliament either via NMP route or PAP or oppositions, or even to start his own party.

Despite MM’s praise towards Low Thia Khiang against Dr Chee for leading WP into a de facto leading opposition, Low Thia Khiang’s pressence in parliament will never make him a Father of Singapore nor will he be able to break out of the deadlock alone. His party is seriously lacking in people of such calibre; as I have mentioned, my old classmate may be a leader-type, but he won’t be able to handle a ministry by himself. Sylvia may be a lawyer, but so is Low; even with both of them in parliament, it’d be useless. Not to mention… with no intention to offend, I have been watching WP’s policy inclinations and… pretty laughable. It probably explains why over a few decades Singaporeans are jumping to their deaths even if they were to have approached their MPs. Nothing can be changed for the moment, and even as I forwarded issues to the leaders I have never really expected much to be changed. MM spoke his mind, that youngsters should have realised that it is not easy to change governments… but it doesn’t mean youngsters won’t stop whining for a change. But real change requires action, if you count on others to change and you whine, you can whine forever. But action requires the basic understanding of change and the time necessary for it. And for Singaporeans… Elfred has this remark for you: You may not really like what you are whining for…

The current fight is focusing on taking out any of the 14 GRCs. The fight after the coming one, if the party doesn’t show much surprises, has a near 100% chance that GRC/s would be lost. I can’t teach you people how to calculate vote counts… Hahahahahahahaha… I haven’t met one worthwhile for the lecture. The oppositions must be very excited with this long awaited chance. Me too, because I am hoping to watch a more exciting show. Not to mention that the next PM will be introduced in the coming fight. Some people thought SM Goh is being arrogant for talking about succession… Nosense. In reality, before MM has departed for some years, an influx of elements into oppositions cannot be expected; the current political elements on table is not even half of what we potentially could harbor. In this, SM Goh is not arrogant. In Singapore’s political situation, an all out tide against the party will most likely happen with pre-requisite that the party have lost about 4 GRCs. People don’t understand, PAP is not just powerful in Singapore for nothing, it is well-connected and MM is sure of his system, and the party is confident in face of the rotting state of the oppositions, plus those irrational mobsters who just condemn anyohow.

I am well aware of the people’s looking down on the government’s governance, but what is the fuck use of scribbling Pay And Pay and Bloodsuckers and scold Ministers on toilet doors, including those of hotels? What is the use of cursing Mdm Lee and laughing at PM Lee’s cancer? Funny people… Congratulations, you have become ignorant maggots. Compare this to a shopkeeper I came across before. He is unhappy, he is quietly working honestly without cheating and he wanted to save up money to enter politics, to have his own party. I laughed at him, but not the same type of laugh as on SDP’s policies… Who says youngsters are politically apathetic? This is the type of guys or gals who would eventually make it, who would eventually realise that a change is not one starting a havoc like an invincible rich cock in theonlinecitizen or Sgforums. They are saving money for deposits, quietly observing the mess and to encounter one and another and pool their talents together for election after MM has departed. Among these youngsters could be my future employer. Hahahahahahahaha…

Put it this way, I know only too well to table anything in parliament.  Take the very obvious issues that if I were to even mention about the need to be concerned about those happenings at the banks, in the private education sector and the charity sector… Look, it was raining gold! The moment I were to open my mouth in parliament, somebody would start laughing and mocking like that Panter92 telling me all those big feel-good stories and MM would likely say I ‘Highfalutin’. Hahahahahahaha… This is the essence that if I were to argue with Josephine about her labor thoughts before the Golden Era, I’d be shut down almost too soon… What is the point? MM probably realised by now that I was and always have been the one holding the legacy and waiting for the right person to hand over. I have hinted before that that Golden Era was the perfect chance to gain a legacy… hadn’t I? What is the point of inviting Elfred out of MOE?

People have to understand one thing in politics… saying this is because I have known too many Ti Liks in and outside the party… ambitious, smartalec, and out to win and win and win but… Sometimes the ladders are all there, we all can see, but there are not yours to take. Some ladders lead directly to hell, and some lead to shit, and just because the ladders are there doesn’t mean anything. Elfred has the political capability many would be jealous of, but the reason why he doesn’t move out already explains why oppositions should just hang on tight. I can be a minister, because just by dealing with the loss-making crisis would already justify my million-dollars salary. But why have I been lackluster? Let’s just say that God has a divine and natural matching mechanism. Dr Chee was presented a ladder before, the ladder to the helm of SDP… the then de facto leading opposition party. Together with that clown Ling How Doong, Dr Chee ousted Chiam See Tong making Chiam to subsequently becoming irrationally paranoid of people, and after Dr Chee climbed the ladder he saw SDP crushed, and gone his dream to enter parliament as the helm of a leading opposition party… Ling was also voted out, Dr Chee never moved into parliament proper with his doctorate but once, and his leadership saw direct confrontation with the PAP in PAP’s most powerful era. Pardon my frankness, Dr Chee is an idiot… and to me, he is just an opportunist, or a super idealistic opportunist. And by now, he must be trying to wiggle very hard at this chance Elfred has mentioned to grab a GRC.

The quality of political elements cannot escape Elfred’s eyes. Chiam is picky, but not well-trained in political human resource management. And I can’t help him. I am watching Kenneth of Reform Party. Basically, a top class political element will always read the other elements like a book so that in real, very few top elements wanna join force with rotten eggs. You can present one or one thousand ladders in front of Elfred that he might just sit there unmoved while the whole bunch of opportunists charge at them. Put it this way, if I were to be Dr Chee, I honestly won’t fight with Chiam for the leadership of the party. The reason is very simple, SDP was only beginning to emerge, taking over would only mean a break up of the party unity and undermining the influence. Chiam was obviously the deciding card. There makes little sense to destroy a rising platform. But people are classified into layman and great element. Most laymen are victims of their own greed, of their own immorality, of their own selfishness… once they see the sweets in the jar, they will try to grab as many as possible, and got trapped.  But if I were to be there, Chiam’s own ignorance will make him favor a doctorate holder from NUS teaching than a nobody like myself.

Which explains why I’d never join Chiam’s party, and why Chiam will never go anywhere.

Chiam never really learns his lesson on the importance of political human resource thereafter… a big regret. SPP has been pretty small,  not hard to understand. And SDP is becoming numerous but are mostly useless. The pressence of maggots has the same effect of a useless leader, they won’t draw element of great calibre such as Zhuge, Han Xin and so on and they serve to keep them out. Across histories, oppositions are aplenty. I have never come across a dynasty or empire without any oppositions or court fightings. Before a great leader is born into history, there usually will be such oppositions I conveniently label as yellow turbans. These are the opportunists who have no idea on how to govern, who can’t even tell what’s wrong with policies and are laughing at their great policies like retards… they fought by enticing the equally ignorant crowd by marketing their funny policies so as to gather steam. If you ever read the Romance of Three Kingdoms properly, those Yellow Leaders were literally selling policies which were ridiculous… because they were based on magic or just… religion. And the desperate people bought into those stories. Which is, at the same time I am laughing at SDP’s policies, I have never ruled out SDP’s rise. In fact, they are still eligible to be among the first party to score a GRC from PAP.

Numbers is what SDP currently has over SPP. However, Chiam’s personal reputation together with Kenneth would be something interesting as well.

The basic point here before we drag too far is that from decades back, during my time as a kid, I know very well that all those ladders were not for me. Ong Teng Cheong provided a hopeful ladder… but God claimed him, denying me an earlier acess into politics. God obviously doesn’t want me to stop anything, to change history, to catch any knife… I was there, staring at Durai as he happily made plenty of monies, as he happily sued people sued friends, as my relative rotted into the newspaper because of his kidney failure… and as he happily been kicked to India with a $20,000 a month job ever after… … I was there, staring at Ming Yi… and many many many others. I knew about Ming Yi before the case even started. I was one of those who raised my concerns to MM of Ming Yi’s car and such luxuries which a monk is craving. Just the mere thought about those sickos makes me feel so sick. Of course, I left out Mr Ong Seh Hong’s involvement because… who do you think I am? Besides, I have seen Ming Yi before… naive and apparently more idiotic than Durai. This is the type of people who after got associated with big names would suppose they can do whatever they want in a small small pond, if the trial goes on… I wonder how many more people this silly monk will start pulling out.

Actually, Durai is much better in this area than that hollow botak head… Am I suppose to reveal anything? No no no… I am only certain that MM is still in the blind of many things. In consideration of his age, it is better for him to live happily without too much worrying. Without the legacy, the current PM will be placed in very risky position to do anything. So we wait for the scandals to be dug out by those brainless heroes out.

The essence of politics is as much as such long long pieces of articles but you always touch on minuscule things. You can give a hint, point to a direction, throw in a sample to test water, if problems can be fixed, fine… if not, never mind. I may be very blunt, I may sound very blunt and frank, but in real… I calculate everything. Once they wanna open the floodgate, I happily blog and I didn’t raise any concerns. You have done your part, it’s ok. I have also warned about the crisis, Panter92 wanna point a finger at myself… you think I even bother?

This is the current settings for the current era.

Till the time that I become a minister, I shan’t even lift a finger to instruct. Cleaning up a massive and deeply rooted mess in such a tiny island is not exactly so simple, and you’d need all the power and support of a great leader. It’s not as that kid mentioned, you’d immediately jump in and try to stop the car… Go ahead and try that on expressway. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha… Damn, I miss that silly kid. Hahahahahahahahaha…

Will PAP Fall?

MM has obviously been preparing for this scenario… reportedly for 15 years. There is no need to read MM’s words always on the plain plane. Before PAP falls, MM’s not giving out till his very last breath. With his legacy, he’d probably get his way. The problem, of course, emerges when a PM without legacy tries the game in the rising tide in favor of the oppositions. Like I have said, or warned, those ridiculous people online… things can get pretty ugly if PAP enters a struggling phase… It’s definitely much more uglier than what GRC or changing electoral boundaries. The huge stakes placed on their tables justify such expectation.

Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is not really that liberal and… huge wealth were staked up high as well as scandals, all these done behind their secretive veil and power system for a long long time.  Many Japanese folks I came across a few years back yielded that the MPs were not prepared to lose power with all those mistresses and corruptions (including abusing powers). Pretty normal, as in Taiwan. Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ)’s rise is however not going to be exactly the same as the rise of oppositions in Singapore’s scenario. No no no, something else will happen. But before that, many people will always assume status quo. Of course, I am not here indicating that PAP or those associated are womanizing or corrupted. Hahahahahahahaha…

This question has been the talk of the town for some years already, and only recently that the push for change is becoming rather… too noisy. That is especially after some strange non-political court judgements and the death of a resident who had obviously decided to go hell instead of more approaches to MPS for aid. I empathize with comrade Seng for his mishap, but I have already warned in the forum that things are going violent and MPs should have been more prepared. As for how much more violent will this rugged society become… It obviously doesn’t really matter. As another batch of MPs are coming in the coming election, I hope they will be more prepared. Of course, when the violence escalated, the heat will inevitably be directed to the PM as with almost every local issue. And if you people really think that the party is ignorant, the top leaders are not as ignorant on such boilings as you happily assume.

The party structure in a time when parliament is about 90% within the hands of PAP is that it allows the sec-gen to influence the future of any politicians within the system. The PM can, by right, appoint or remove anyone to or from office, but if the PM wants to remove anyone from MP-ship, he would have to terminate his or her membership or that person must be voted out by the public. Usually, the PM will not terminate an MP’s membership out of political consideration. After all, an MP has his own grassroots and so on, and would be an embarassment to do so unless there is such a dire need to. And usually, most MPs upon being removed from offices won’t necessarily just volunteer to exit politics. In a way, with 90% of seats in PAP’s hand, NMPs or MPs are all under Sec-Gen’s favor.

Which is why the talk about Party split is most ridiculous. Once a modern day Barisan Socialis happens, the constitution will flush them all out of Parliament… and they will start politics the way Dr Chee is doing… and if you expect this is the Party split… Just look at SDP’s fate for trying to bang against MM’s machinery. Hahahahahahahahaha… In Japan, PMs are also secretively chosen after plenty of internal arrangement, and if any bunch of ministers revolt, the premier has the authority to remove them from office and to force them out of parliament. Which is… hilariously speaking, if there were to be another Lee Kuan Yew trying to happen in Japan, he’d have to be very lucky as well. In short, as and when the parliament is 70% occupied by the PAP, there will be no risk of party split and everyone comes under the PM. Of course, MM’s in charge in a way with his council and the top positions tightly in his control.

While the people mock the elected President, this President does have a very powerful yet subtle role. People only know that Singapore President is useless and only for show purposes… No no no, politically speaking, this guy is the next most powerful under the Prime Minister. The President may not be running everyday workings of the state, but the President can pardon Lin Chin Xiong, can deny appointments to offices and he can be expected to stand in for the PM position if (say) the PM is kidnapped. Of course, the President holds the bloody key to the reserves that many many many out to make money would be lusting after. So imagine if a rogue Prime Minister has a rogue friend elected President… he’d immediately be a very threatening rich team.

So presuming there is such an election, many youngsters may think… ‘Oh my shit, it’s like the US president election that anyone can take the place of President, including an inexperienced black– Mr Obama!’.

Just image MM’s face if a commoner or layman tried to go for this looking-lobo position. When the idea of elected President was tabled, I already half-guessed what would be coming next. Let me explain to you people what MM has in his mind, and MM can scold me if I were to be wrong. As I have mentioned, PAP is very well connected. In real, the perception of PAP leaders to Presidency is unlike that of you commoners. For instance, Tan Kin Lian… If Tan Kin Lian were to be contesting for Presidency, and he is not accepted beforehand by (say) the MM, he’d have to face the machinery… and to the MM, commoners of no social status and political understandings have no chance in election against the successful and connected candidate. In the unlikely case that a layman manages to get elected through all those machinery workings, you’d either get ousted or you can just lobo there with almost no real powers. Why? Because how would a layman know what to do with the system? And how would ministries be bothered with a layman? Not to mention that the President is advised by a council of people, and where do you think these people come from. But the salary of a President is over $3m, you can try. MM, am I not right…? Hahahahahahahahahaha…

I have never really studied the PAP’s system. Why is the need to study something that can be easily expected?

However, all systems are built upon assumptions.

Just like a door… you have a metalic door and you want to be very secured and you have all those best of the best locks in places and all those passwords done and this bloody… OMG is so secured that only you can gain acess into the room.

The problem is, to get into the room, you don’t exactly need the passwords or to open all those locks or to bang the thick metalic safedoors. You go directly to the hinges… The hinges connect to the bricks… and the bricks are connected to the mortar, and the mortar must allow for temperature changes, hence… they can’t be that strong. This part is about physics… But the idea is the same. A room without any openings and very very much locked by heavy doors, if the outside changes you still can feel very secured until you discover that this room seems to be getting stuffy… and you are getting giddy, and you will have to start a hole somewhere, or to open the door… Or to death shall you not touch the system. In Elfredian politics, there is hence never such things as reliance on doors or locks or whatever, which is why I am very open with my wife’s issues and such. I do carry safeboxes around but… they are not meant to contain myself.

People asked, will PAP fall?

Many years back when I was studying the political situations in Singapore, I knew very well that MM would probably construct a safe-room and locked the entire power supply in. He is a lawyer, and he has been seeking a system for his party with his earliest catch from those in Vatican. The more successful he has been inside such a safe-house, the more locks he has, the more apparent is my position… I will just wait outside the house, eventually either oxygen will be depleted or holes will invite the small creatures in. There is no even a need to bang at the mortar, I am too big for such puny holes anyway. Which is completely  understandable of why if MM never invites me, I’d happily wait outside the box. Because in order to invite me, he’d have to remember all the passwords on those locks and he’d have to still have the strength to pull open the heavy doors with the hinges perhaps rusted over so many years. If he can’t even do that, what’s the point of entering the house or politics? Out in the open air, it’s fresh air and exciting shows of Yellow Turbans banging on the house and got banged back, and out in the open sitting on the fence, you can see the horizon much better, you can admire the sun and the moon and count the stars not just by imagination.

It takes all the courage of a leader to open the doors and to venture out to the fence with all those zombies banging all around the house, whine and whine about their stomache, whine and whine about the food in the house, and whine and whine and whine all days all nights about Elfred… I also whine, but I am not interested in what those zombies are whining. I whine, ‘Why is there a need for such a house… when it’s fresh air here on the fence?’ Why disturb the party happening in the locked house? The more the dancing with the more the gold splashing around and beautiful lights swirling, the faster the oxygen is consumed…

Once one understands this philosophy, you’d understand why I am so bo-chap.

This question of PAP falling is a very strange one. The only person who can clean up the mess is myself, not those people asking when PAP is falling. The only person who knew how to fend off the crisis was myself, you could send scholars to USA but… so what, you are just killing Obama? So what if I tell you when PAP will fall. What can you do? So what if I have already mentioned about this election’s wonderful chance many many years back, do you think the oppositions would have even be prepared? Do you think Elfred expects them to be prepared or to thank me… Hahahahahahahaha… I have been most honest because I know who are the audiences… These people are hopeless. Their only use is to keep the house banged non-stop, partly also for entertainment’s sake. It’s a pretty long wait, you see…

And they thought I was trying to insult them by wanting to be entertained… How strange.

I won’t tell you when the party will fall, I can only confirm that I am losing interests in cleaning the mess… Actually the party falls or not, there will be always another party. It’s just a reshuffling among the 4m people. Singapore falls or not also doesn’t really matter. Singapore had a very tough time during the occupation and the stuggling years, still it bounced back and resumes to be the jewel of Southeast Asia. My son is most fortunate, assuming he is… not that stupid. He has a father who is a walking library of volumes he’d never be able to find elsewhere, abilities that he can obtain to clean up the mess… which is, I am thinking about imparting whatever I have to him, and let him do the job… if he is interested. He is my son, I want him to make a name for himself. Perhaps he should be the New Father of Singapore, a most celebrated minister in the future modern history of Singapore. It is apparent that MM is also thinking the same way… So what if there is a fall? Without core competency, Singapore will go nowhere. MM and I have actually many things in common… especially when it comes to politics. Which is exactly why I can’t join his constituency because of what are similar which comprises basic differences.  By right, he is a great leader, I am a marvelous advisor who has no intention on PM-ship. Seemingly wonderful pair up. By left, I am too blunt, he is very confident in his judgement. This is hence a dangerous match. Because I’d insist on going east, he’d also insist that west is right… Hahahahahaha…

If Singapore is lucky, it doesn’t have to fall that drastically and be picked up.

Parties are simply platforms to perform wonders, nothing more. The struggles for power always result in casualties and destructions. Just look at our friends there in North Korea. And the leader’s paranoidal inclination towards USA’s invasion of two states… or one, if UN doesn’t recognise Taliban regime, that is not knowing USA is on the brink of bankruptcy and won’t likely to have the cash to wage more wars, coupled with their political issues for the wars. We can have any type of leaders from any party… God knows what or who will come for Singapore.

Just as the PM is busy find his way among the scandals, my advice to those asking if MM were to send in troops or when PAP will fall or what, the least you can do is to upgrade yourselves and try to find a place on the fence. If the house is really breaking down, it’s likely the bricks and locks and doors will come crushing at those zombies just before the house’s gone… And you don’t wanna be the crushed nor those to be exposed to the zombies’ onslaught.

Probably when the next PM-intented appears, we’d have a clearer picture.

This is a small boat, even without it being infested with termites, don’t tell me that there is a short cut or anyone can float it. The storms are big, the waves are huge, if you are any lesser… here goes the bath-tup… So don’t ask such strange questions, you are just making Elfred laughs harder.

I’d be overseas soon, God blesses Singapore… and most importantly, me. Hahahahahahahahahaha…

A New Game With Old Settings.

Just after I have mentioned about MM’s confidence on his system to safeguard the regime in the previous chat here, news broke. http://theonlinecitizen.com/2009/09/pap-will-next-two-elections-lee-kuan-yew/ took from http://sg.news.yahoo.com/ap/20090903/tap-as-singapore-lee-kuan-yew-election-832f4ab.html a story reporting of MM’s 15 years of thinking how to safeguard the state’s interest in face of a freak election in favor towards the oppositions.

It merely means I ain’t taking a break from the previous blogging.

As I have mentioned, no matter what systems and no matter how trustworthy are the key-players, emperors were disposed off times and again and even one of the wisest emperors of all times, Mr Kang Xi, was nearly disposed off. The very apparent reason why I have brought up this matter alongside with the stakes of the Lee family in case of any political surprises in Singapore in the previous piece is precisely that calculation on the system has been made from many many years back.

But it serves very well in understanding why Elfred has always mentioned that he ain’t really bothered about what party split by the existing smartalecs or what experts, and I don’t think those smarties will review their ideas. The PM had already in one occassion revealed his source of confidence that the government is configured to function even in times when the opposition were to have seized powers… which obviously means the powers of top police, top army and other officials won’t be removed, and they shall likely be the ones who will in turn safeguard the election of any future presidents via legislation.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

See? The MM actually spent 15 years in thinking about a safeguard, in spite Elfred doesn’t really bother about spending 15s to really research on that, and the point is yes… I have always supposed he’d be doing that. I can understand how the Old Father of Singapore thinks… Actually, yes… I already know about such workings right from the start but… that’s only because MM is not the only leader in this world who has tried that, and we still had emperors being disposed off swiftly nonetheless. Which is why we have this title ‘A New Game With Old Settings’. If you people really want to know, MM’s lock is not unbreakable.

But don’t expect me to enlighten you. And no no no, you don’t even need a junta. Who in the fuck mind will want a junta and push chaos to a new height? Political advisors as myself can suggest simple steps and MM’s lock will be cracked open within only one year while keeping the state in peace. I have no disrespect towards the MM but… instead of using 15 years thinking about safeguards, why not spent 10 years in beefing up talents and let them assist this PM to have turned things around and gained the legacy? In Elfredian direction, only good governance can secure a regime.

Long long ago, before Zhuge Liang died, he actually made Shu a highly secured land with all the strategic points checked with enough troops. This system of defence was marvelous…at least it so seemed. But when I read Romance Of Three Kingdom, I knew very well right from the start how Zhuge will still fail to fend Shu after he died. Simply put, times will always change, man will always change, and life is as unpredictable as the man is, and hence as the other man is as well. Subsequently, Deng Ai precisely broke through and seized Shu by passing through the strategic points Zhuge had set up before his death. I won’t say more…

But there are many peaceful ways to dismantle this lock or system if an opposition took over, and if they have people with calibre as high as my humble or arrogant self. Time will tell, there is no need to worry.

No no no, I have no reason to be upset that MM has spent 15 years just to set up a lock that I won’t waste 15s to know how to unlock it. In my understanding of the MM, it’s actually quite alright to expect that. And if I say it can be unlocked easily, it can be unlocked easily, and I suppose MM knows…

Which is, the reserves are still pretty much exposed, and the powers are pretty much there for those with calibre to grab. Which is, as I have mentioned as the MM has mentioned at LKYSPP’s fifth anniversary, he’s concern about getting higher calibre people…

“…But if we don’t find a good team in the election after that, and the opposition gets a good team together, we are at risk…”

Basically what he is pointing at is people who got the calibre to break his lock and embrace the powers discarded by the current incumbent in… say 15 years. We assume that every election is about 5 years and if the third election is the turning point… What the MM is implying is this… If he cannot get a government which is better than the current’s, since this team of ministers and such will likely to be 70% the same people at the election at the 10 years’ point from now, that if the oppositions got those people into a team, the party will be at risk. You see, how long was Dr Tony Tan a minister? How long was SM Goh a minister, and how long was Mr Teo Chee Hean and even BG Yeo a minister? A minister’s ‘lifespan’ is definitely more than 10 years in general.

Which is to say, in my humble opinion, at that election, while the party can continue to have such a team as the current’s, it might be better to have a good team after that. Common sense. Assuming (eg) Mr Khaw were to be a minister, if given Dr Tony’s experience of service length as a comparison… by the election that MM points out that a good team must be found after the previous election from the indicated one, then there will be a risk if a good team cannot be found by then and we’d have a risk when those people form the opposition. If MM presumes we already have a good team, of course… there won’t be a risk even by the election after the 10th years, and such statement will never be available from his honorable self for discussion.

Understanding the MM is… not really that hard. Actually, he is very open in his views of things, as such of his ‘Highfalutin’ remarks towards Viswa.

We have already touched on this concern with regards to political human resource until I feel so much like vomit just for thinking of the need to touch on seemingly repeated points. I hate playing old broken records, it’s time consuming and it’s a complete waste of fingers’ energy. I presume people want to read something more exciting than listening to broken records. Hahahahahaha…

The only thing that worth repeating is, finding that one with good calibre is already tough for a tiny island or even from the world, not to say… what? To find a (good) team? And the real risk doesn’t actually come from the opposition.  Though of course, whoever took over powers from the party would have to be the opposition.

The reason why I have previously pointed at the stakes MM has placed on the table for himself is to rationalize people’s understanding of real politics. If anyone wanna take over Singapore, one of the calibre is to be mature. Which is if anyone is having an even slightest opportunistic approach towards MM by taking him on, you must be very careful. He’d bite. And you’d have to wash your brain to expect him to step down, and expose all those stakes to those rugged, ridiculous and hungry eyes of hollow substance…

Once PAP were to fall, 99.9999% is the new government will start hunting down Lee’s assets by all sorts of methods. Which is exactly why I am very sure MM won’t ever wanna let it happen, and if people push PAP too hard, things will get very very ugly… … But I am also very sure that if the PM still cannot erect his pillars before MM departs, there will be no short of Yellow Turbines… There will be no short of hungry sharks, egoistic hollow brains, or those fucking opportunists… waging their puny lucks to blow open the doors of powers and wealth seeking to profit from such ventures. I don’t think the Old Father of Singapore will disagree with the New Father of Singapore with regards to this… possibility.

“If you wanna be in politics, you must be prepared to lose everything…”, that’s according to MM, and he has personally staked it all in.

Which is actually why I have computed a 50% chance that MM’d come knocking at my puny doors… Logical. Unless he really supposes he got a better choice. Tell me which fathers want their sons to fall? That’s especially possible as MM is reaching 86 this year. In his mind, his calculation is very simple… will God allows him to be there for another term? His perception of genetic age is, if I am not recalling wrongly, about 92~96yo…

He knows very well, especially after seeing such a mess, that nobody would want to be disposed off and the only way is to stage a fight for the top position, that eventually… only one thing will happen. If he never considers this layer, I’d be totally jaw-dropping.

Political stablity comes with utmost exercising of wisdom.

And before anyone in or outside the party points a finger at myself accusing that I don’t help… I did. I always do.

Who is the most trustworthy people to secure the safeguards…?

Old comrades who braved with you through thick and dangerous moments? Qin emperor’s whole family was subsequently murdered by comrades he had trusted most. Li Si was one, then Zhao Gao was another. They were close to him like his left and right arms, ever so obedient, ever so humble…

Or perhaps relatives…? How did Ming dynasty messed up? Which lords were not relatives? Which lords were not being ‘educated’ by the first emperor? And among Mao’s last instructions was to start cleaning up his wife’s gang…

Safeguards… What actually safeguarded MM’s authority all these years?

His legacy.

How did he obtained such legacy?

Talents.

Simply, what else?

It’s always a new game with old settings, which is, you go after the talents, you’d stay in power happily ever after. Otherwise, you love the snobs, you love the scholars, and you could join Kang Xi in his headaches over the fight of powers among scholars and start worrying when will your regime collapse day and night.

If MM were to be concerned about oppositions getting a good team, he should be more concerned that the party may be both ousting good people and making itself more and more unattractive to people of high political calibre. Finding people is one thing, just as finding all those good logs for a wonderful construction… preparing to erect those logs is another issue. You may hoard all the good logs, but once the pillars rot, in time they will collapse as well.

This is generally so for many many governments across any time.

“If he cannot govern, he’d be kicked off by the people…”

And when people have decided to kick an entire regime, would they be stingy with their enthusiasm to kick off as well the President, those top officials, and to kick off all those old rules and guidelines… and if they were to really succeed in kicking, it’d have to probably be over a huge price paid; if the people have already paid such a price, everything else becomes cheap. Just as people who jumped to their deaths… what could have stopped them? What price would be more expensive to have detered them?

How would I know…

In politics, anything can happen. If Chen Shui Bian would have forseen his current state for entering politics… he might have been happier to remain a small lawyer. But probably only God knows who is right for politics, and what would be the outcome.

The Essence Of Political Touch.

I see no sense in the cross-the-board condemning of MM with criticism totally callous to the point of ridiculous irrelevance. I personally hold Mdm Lee in high regards for her faithful years sticking with her husband in his fight, especially so as compared to my wife’s willfullness and being totally unsupportive. These rugged mobs… can’t they be fair when they asked for fairness? Can’t they be a least more reasonable when they asked for more freedom? Why do they need to insult such a lady just because of their disrespectful condemnation towards MM Lee?

If only I have a wife who is half the calibre of Mdm Lee…

It’s very disturbing that all those jokers talked about trusting them being mature and to open up what society that they are explicitly showing the opposite in whatever case they are trying to make. It’s the same sort of society, the kind of attitude and mentality of no culture, of gross ruggedness, and of doing whatever it is just to scream for what they want. What the fuck relevance it is to drag in other people’s spouses?

I hence left a long message in theonlinecitizen that is still under moderation.

Such things go both ways… How the people would mud-sling MM, I doubt MM would not wish to return the favor. How MM have wanted the society to be, such rugged people come about and he has to tackle his own creation, and the subsequent PMs would have to inherit and be influenced by such people. Logically put, this menace online will have to be confronted not only by the Old Father but by the future Fathers of Singapore if none of the subsequent Fathers actually re-engineers the society towards a proper one. This plainly explained why Elfred has never been bothered about what online support or popularity.

Put it this way, assuming the ones who have wanted to play the masters support comrade Teo Ser Luck and they all are anti-MM online, in reality, MM is the one politically more influencial and more stable. Actually with or without online popularity is not really the case in Singapore, nor would that really affect election that much as compared elsewhere. What internet really affects is when you were to elect (eg) Durai to stand for election and voters see for themselves a party is picking a cheat and… …

Basically put, assuming Siew Cum Hong’s online popularity is many times over MM’s, but those ‘popularity’ usually doesn’t transform into actual support unless Siew is really a leader; and if he is the leader, his main support base will be still based on actions offline. And for every Panter92 who wants to be leader, there will be plenty of others who want to be by flamming each others… Hahahahahahahahahahaha… See? The reality of online support or condemnation. So far, the condemnation of MM is overwhelming but in actual politics, he is deemed the strongest. So whenever people hit out at Elfred for online concerns, as I have already made it clear from day one: I am not here seeking to be popular. Whoever held such concerns are betraying their pathetic core. Neither does Elfred need a facebook or what official blog.

Look at it this way, the only probable way Lee Kuan Yew will cease to draw condemnation for himself and his wife and his family would probably be if he joins the opposition… it’d be as much as to demand MM to go the extra miles and be as havoc and ridiculous as them. Point is, neither I will try to win over those online critters nor will I be expecting MM to try doing that. But the younger league of leaders probably would try to appeal to netizens. Which is probably why despite of my views on opening up the floodgate, the top went on a spree of promoting this euphoria to such heights…

The reason why Goh Keng Swee and the earlier batches gained such solid base of support is not because they expect SM Goh to dress up as Chaplin or MM appearing as Mr McDonald. To the many hungry and stucked in this bloody island of many suicides, what they want are competent leaders who will fight for their interests by hook or crook. Hence, Lim Kim San made his name by building HDBs inspite of civil obstacles. They never danced on Orchard and never sought to dress up as clowns, their acts in the interests of the people gained them supports in the People’s Action Party. Singapore is what it is today only because of such ministers in the beginning. And none of them offered sharkfins…

Although it is only logical that before we do anything to the society and reverse the harm done thus far that all such nosensical condemnation may not subceed this sort of shocking level, it is still pretty disturbing to engage a whole bunch of jokers who can’t think properly and refuse to be reasonable and insist on their rights of ways. Ganging up, they assume superiority within the social fabrics of Singapore, probably even offline. While indeed they will make the job of pulling this boat back to the surface harder, they will… as the current Yellow Turbans would, these people will be a force banging hard on the doors to push them open, pushing through the mahinery’s high flying bullets.

Both Theonlinecitizen and the Wayangparty are great tools for the oppositions, joined by the condemnation of MM at Sgforums and so on, all these online mobsters are pushing for oppositions to takeover, or pushing for Change. But WP’s Low Thia Khiang apparently doesn’t seem to favor his members to be involved with such online fervor. Put it this way, these irrational clowns are now PAP’s headache… But given WP being the leading opposition, if WP takes over power, such irrational clowns will become WP’s headache eventually. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

Just imagine:

“Fucking Low Thia Khiang so bloody corrupted, never empty reserves for us hungry people… his wife therefore grow pimples, grow ulcer, becomes vegetable…’

Or…

“Low Thia Khiang is biggest self-censorship bastard before even he comes to power, he no leadership type like Viswa, and his son got stomach, headache and suddenly can die type…”

This sort of nosense is now a great tool for the oppositions, but what will happen when the oppositions come to power? Will they really favor Theonlinecitizen or Wayangparty and those horde of foolhardy clowns yelling down there? Thinking so always make me laugh… Recalling Goh Meng Seng’s testimony of his online popularity makes me laugh harder… And please, anyone who bring online popularity to my face should be expecting a good laugh from me. On my side, I don’t need facebook to go for election, for a start.

Just an update… We have just covered the part on whether an army would move in and our Redbean has this from that LKYSPP forum http://mysingaporenews.blogspot.com/2009/09/reassurance-singaporeans-needed.html. It appears that the MM had clarified this issue to Catherine’s enquiry. Funny…

I mean, why would Catherine be so concern about whether MM has any intention of moving in even an hokkien beng, and of course, if MM has produced such an answer years back, I won’t have to waste so much finger-energy to discuss this part. Actually, simple issue like this one doesn’t really need MM to say… simple analysis is enough. But she is obviously as funny as almost every other Singaporean I have come across in face of MM’s infamous quote.

As I have mentioned probably at the YPforum before, once PAP got kicked out, there is a possibility that MM expects them to fail and PAP to be reinstalled. And if MM follows the forum, he’d notice Elfred is not only thinking of the same thing but given Elfred’s political capability and his intentions, once the opposition hires Elfred to take charge, he’d become the New Father of Singapore that… as Elfred always mention: To clean up the mess, to remake the economy, to rebuild the nation and to revitalise the society. And he probably realised that I am not merely one who understands him but one who also is equiped with economics know-how plus a political mind cum understanding of international relations… not by the textbooks. Not only so, I am not the small people type.

The Old Father is betting on core-competency of others, Elfred is also watching core-competency of others for his job. Hahahahhahahahahaha… But while both of us think similarly, here’s the major difference.

Once PAP got kicked out, there will be a risk that his family’s assets, alongside with party seniors’ be eyed upon… as I have somehow already suggested. What he is thinking… may be too ideal. MM knows also very well, with the current team’s core competency… there is alot of room to improve still. And he probably realises that Elfred is not expecting good news from the recent round of ERC. Without Elfred, remaking the economy is pure dreaming. In my calculation, as I have once explained, once the oppositions failed upon gaining powers, PAP may regain powers, but no matter how, as long as the boat sinks… it just sinks. What I must caution MM is this, if the party maintains this level of core competency and he expects PAP to be returned to power… Put it this way, the reason why PAP would have lost is probably in a battle amidst chaos and the people have decided to give up on PAP as they have given up on Mahathir. If assuming Goh Meng Seng is fucking up, they may not even choose PAP again but Dr Chee, or Chiam, or whatever other promising factions. If the party is really returned to power with the same level of competency as of now… chaos will be pushed to unimaginabe heights if the people decide to kick PAP out again by then.

It’d be immediately bloody, and so messy with possibly high level of foreign interventions.

Which is actually why I have to step in especially once PAP has fallen, and assume the role of New Father of Singapore if and only if Singapore were to survive. The New Father knows what the Old Father is thinking… but the New Father prefers a more beautiful outcome. Which also explains why if the Old Father of Singapore never knocks on the door of the New Father, the New Father must avoid the current situation. By the way, whatever have happened would already have gone down into the modern history of Singapore. No offence, but since MM has finally been so candid with his idea, certain things must be laid out. To reinforce this point, MM should focus on this fact that if the oppositions were to gain control, by hook or by crook that they will come after wealthy seniors’ assets with or without acess to the reserves. If the seniors were to escape Singapore, they will lose all credibility to regain powers, and the new regime can still work their ways into hunting them down internationally in legitimate fashion. And they can start hunting the President’s assets right from the start…

Not to mention, who can guarantee a significant number of ex-PAP veterans who’d know a lot about PAP’s dealings not to have defected to the then incumbent…

Since I am still a YP, allow me to urge the MM to rethink his strategy… However, I am here to clean up the mess, so pardon my bluntness but there will be a big mess, and please don’t make things harder than the mess I am about to clean in a few years’ time.

Basically, in my most humblest opinion, MM may have been a bit too idealistic.

While I have always dismissed MM’s talk of sending in the army, I am quite sure he’d be inclined towards the idea or hope of retaining controls over the police… or namely, the ISD. All I can say is, this is not going to work if PAP were to really be disposed off as LDP is already.

I’d have to be irridating here to point out certain things which I have… well… mentioned to MM before pretty vaguely. Assuming you need an orange or to find an orange in 15 years down the road, but assuming you have a whole bunch of locusts flooding the island… How do you find an orange by the time you need it? Put it plainly here, if MM assumes a better team is needed by the third election from now but insist on the current mode of human resource management, how is he to secure such good team in the future? Given MM’s assumption, once you have one simpleton, an whole hierachy would come, and the reason why you have simpletons is precisely of how you have what human resource management at present. If your intention is on getting high calibre political leaders to withstand a better opposition, it as if Durai telling me to join him after all those years of raising simpletons to join his armies of simpletons that if I were to agree, I’d be another simpleton.

Of course, I am not calling the current team simpletons. But the concept is very clear.

The very reason why MM himself has been open with his idea of PAP returning to power with what core competency is most likely of him also having an ‘understanding’ of oppositions’ political human resource management, hence to have formulated such expectations accordingly. Singapore is no Indonesia nor Taiwan. If the current political human resource management has sank the boat so much that PAP were to be indeed ousted, then even if PAP were to be returned to power, the boat will still sink.

Given MM’s experience, if he has mentioned as such on such an occassion, there is hence a likelihood that an unusually huge number of MPs and ministers would be leaving the parliament this coming round of election. Unless, of course, he really think that when he wants the oranges, a whole team of oranges will be suddenly dropped down from heaven into his same old basket.

It’s still not yet the time to talk about economy in this rant. Actually, MM has spent 15 years pondering about safeguards, Elfred has spent no less than 15 years idling on the fence. By no means do I expect to change MM’s ideas. Actually, what Singapore is going to bang into is not even in MM’s or the government’s understanding. Many people all around the world won’t understand why eventually Elfred has to step in.

And not many realise that if there is a choice, Elfred’d rather to just stay bochap.

YP or not YP… as I have said before, the best is reserved for the last… Frankly, if I don’t step in to clean up this bloody mess, Singapore will be eventually wiped out from the surface of Earth. Singaporeans just don’t understand what the future beholds for them. And I never seek to change or convince anyone anything. The future shalt explain on my behalf.

While Singaporeans increasingly want Change… in a way, which is the ever increasing urge to invite PAP out of power, I see no point in such irrational bulks of havoc dumped upon Lee Kuan Yew. He has his stances for his intentions, and sometimes, it can’t be helped. I am also a suffering Singaporeans, I am a YP for years. Hahahahahahahaha… But so what? I see no point MM fights with me or I try to outsmart him; And neither should you. I am a suffering Singaporean, so don’t tell me that I don’t understand all those nosense and bullyings and happenings or rumors in Singapore.

小不忍则乱大谋……

For a man of deep honor, suppressing the anger in a land of no culture running amok with smartalecs, pretenders and small people… how easy can that be? Frankly speaking, do Singaporeans deserve a leader as myself to sayang them…? The MM obviously doesn’t see much in the core competency of WP or SPP combined with so many smart people surrounding the PM… but this PM probably has started to realise that he’s not having an easy time dealing with this crisis and the last one, plus the compounding scandals… As I have lamented, the PM had made his choice. What leaders he has made is what leader he will be becoming. He probably understands what I was driving at YPforum by now.

Hopefully as such, this will make things easier for the subsequent PM. I cannot stress any lesser on the importance of a good government, nor would I have lesser emphasis on the need to revamp this ridiculous society because if we need to clean up politics, we must first deal with the root of which all those mud is absorbed from and brought up higher and higher along the stem to the point that the entire plant can’t even handle a changing tide from feeble challenges.

Given the madness in cyberspace… this reflects simply that Singaporeans may not know what they are yelling for.

A Couple Of Screws.

In spite of my farting that if I were to be a minister I’d become first the Education minister, since that’s where I was kicked out from… which apparently signals disturbance alongside this moment of history, I have no special feeling about Mr Ng for or against. As in my view in the forum, Mr Ng would probably be Tony Tan II. But the online suggestion of him becoming the temporary PM yields ignorance towards Singapore’s political reality.

Notice the wording MM used: …I managed to persuade the colleagues…

Mr Ng is one of the Super-7s during their first emergence into politics with Mr Lee Hsien Loong’s taking over as PM from the now SM Goh. In MM’s consideration, the person to become PM must have the appropriate weight. While it seems that in a democratic Singapore anyone can be PM, but that’s not true. For comrade Ng, how’s he to confront the batch of comrade Mah Bow Tan, BG Yeo and even those who are more senior as comrade Jayakumar and many veteran MPs? How is he to handle positions with regards to defence and finance ministry? MM’s ideal choice would be someone heavy enough but not that heavy. Which is why Elfred has mentioned BG Yeo, a minister who has been stirring clear of major domestic issues all these years, senior enough and exposed correctly enough. Since MM wants defence to be secured, Minister Teo won’t likely be the PM by choice. From what I understand of MM, he won’t have one minister who is an heavy-weight in both defence and PMO or finance and PMO… He’d want a balance.

Again, we must observe the reality of politics. Which means to say, comrade Lim and comrade Vivian won’t be any issue. Mr Khaw was a Malaysian, while MM may now be convinced Malays may be promoted to be officers, I very much doubt Mr Khaw will be his choice of PM. Hence, the most likely choice if an interim PM must be would likely be BG Yeo. Outside the defence and finance ministries, comrade Ng will likely be an heavy-weight support. And I don’t suppose MM Lee is hoping for SM Jayakumar to retire soon.

This is how I perceive things. And it shouldn’t be a surprise if MM has a better choice of views aside from a nobody Elfredinario.

We have dragged on too much too long on the party. It’s time to review the opposition.

We’d start from SDP, supposedly MM’s most favorite haunt.

SDP is claiming that comrade Josephine is supporting SDP’s policy on foreign talents… I know very well Josephine’s thinking on this issue since I had obviously once stood on grounds on the need of foreign talents… against her stance. No no no, not that I follow MM’s. I have always called SDP’s approach on national human resource management too simplistic in this area regarding foreign talents. In a way, SDP’s economics approach is simply: There XXX seems too high, solution? Simply cut. There tax is bad, no tax loh~ I have more than once explained the economic conditions in Singapore with regards to foreign talents and fiscal policies.

Anyway, after the brush with Josephine, I was subsequently kicked from MOE teaching. Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

I can understand where she comes from, where SDP comes from, and where MM comes from. MM supports foreign talents, but in a way I don’t actually completely find acceptable in. The difference in MM’s support for foreign talents and mine lies mainly in the subsequent management of human resource, although we both are inclined towards the same economic concerns towards the need for foreign talents. I can safely confirm that Josephine’s stance on foreign talents is no wayang and in no way echoing SDP’s.

She just somehow doesn’t like to see lowly foreigners flooding Singapore.

The points SDP made about this issue illustrate SDP’s inate problem in governing, and we’d use what they have cited from Josephine since they are using her to spearhead their policies:

1. Reducing the foreign workers quota in sectors with stagnant or falling productivity.

2. Raise the quality of foreign workers allowed in, by setting higher skill standards and tightening regulations to ensure their superior qualifications are what Singapore requires.

1. What Josephine is trying to do only means killing industries which may be trying to survive. Assuming Charter Semicon is trying to meet profit margin by relying on cheap foreign workers to stay barely afloat, this call is about killing Charter Semicon… You reduce the quota of such sector, you kill those local bosses and the other local co-workers, and down the chain, you in turn kill the suppliers and other attached branches of businesses by removing part of their businesses which should have survived. Put it this way, if a business could have survive the competition with lesser quota they won’t be stagnant…

Yes, you kill them for being stagnant forgeting that non-stagnant businesses related in the chain would be rendered stagnant as they lose the businesses from those stagnant businesses, and then you’d kill more and more businesses this way… This of course is not the only reason why I express concerns. Among tons of reasons is that if you reduce quota, you must be efficiently adjusting quota according to a fair judgement on productivity from time to time. As productivity is measured in terms of money, the current sector with falling productivity would be electronics… They are struggling with fallen demands and higher under-utilised capacities, and we can start killing those who are trying to survive on the existing quota, and expect them to change workers on and off… But every change of workers require adaption and training and so on. And electronics is not even a sunset sector, what about other sectors?

And SDP, you are trying to yell that Josephine is echoing your policy? Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha… If you are trying to joke, I’m bemused.

2. MM once mentioned similar thought when, if I have not recalled wrongly… he sort of burst out at comrade Mah’s population policy claiming he had meant introducing quality foreigners Singapore needs and not any cats and dogs. This is hence a politically correct point which I must plainly argue with pure economic sense… because otherwise, I’d be placed in a very dangerous position… Hahahahahahahaha…

Put it this way, industries in Singapore are having a seriously tough time because as in point 1. they are facing competition from not only domestic market but from India and China. The opening up of WTO pact in China has almost completely sent the textile sector into panic. And bear in mind that most jobs and most companies of Singapore are SMEs, and these are the small fishes which are sustaining our economy and political well-being for without them, families won’t be fed, and many suppliers and local workers also will have to flood MPSs for aids. With that, the simplest question I’d throw back to anyone suggesting this would be: How many local factories and SMEs are after workers waiting to be paid a million dollars bonus each for their what superior qualifications? If the manufacturing sector are busy competing with China and India by also trying to branch out into relevant departments, trying point 2. is simply trying to raise white flag for Singapore. There is no such thing as raising the quality of workers when the quality of workers will always be decided by market needs.

You don’t regulate costs if you can’t regulate market conditions.

If an established textile company is competing with India’s Abu Ne Inc by setting up its own design centre in Singapore, Apu Ne recruits designers for S$1000 with bobochacha certs and our company recruits designers with only industrial certs from China and pay them also S$1000, you’d kill this company and its local workers and local suppliers and local bla bla bla by imposing such regulation on a national scale by demanding high (and mostly useless) qualifications. One reason why Singapore has become uncompetitive is because for every dollar spent, more are focused on qualifications and lesser on the realistic need over such qualifications to the production needs.

And all these regulations mean more red tapes at MOM making the fight more inflexible for the companies, and it serves only to force companies into petty offence at times by being too creative.

What do you mean by higher skill standards or superior qualifications when it should be the companies fighting for their existence in the frontline to decide! Workers come to Singapore for a living and if local companies have no use for them, market forces will force them out. Even Elfred finds nothing here, even a local like him’d be trying to leave. That’s as superior as competition would bring instead of regulation.

Indeed, for many women who have married into Singapore and serving as housewives, these invalueable women bearing Singaporean children are superior in qualifications and motherly skills needed to sustain the existence of Singapore by supporting the government’s family policies.

In a way, you can’t raise the quality of workers allowed if our SMEs are not generally going to afford them. Most workers needed are still those cheap low-skilled labors. Of course, it’d be wonderful to have Warren Buffet joining Ban Joo or Bill Gates joining Enzer but… can they afford them? Do you have the right opportunities for them?

Coincidentally, before people are making noises here, Elfredinario is leaving Singapore for recce soon.

It’s without a doubt why MM presumes oppositions lack core competency. According to SDP’s proud annoucement that comrade Josephine is echoing their policies, it doesn’t appear to SDP that they are cheering too early. If this is the way they are going to handle human resource, this is the way they kill the economy, and show the world why Singaporeans voting for them’d fetch a freak election.

Human resource issue in Singapore is actually another simple issue dragged on like seemingly forever… But Singaporeans have to wait before this gust of fart can fix this silly problem. I don’t mind share a point in this area of concern for oppositions to ponder… whether they thought they have seen what light.

“You really think Singapore can be a protectionistic state, don’t you?”

I presume the perfect solution to Singapore’s export woes would be simply to cut imports… or raise tariffs. Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

Look, you can raise what standards what regulations, you can raise tariffs… Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

This explains the oppositions’ biggest weakness, they happily show off their core incompetencies as core competencies, which means… these jokers will never learn. They can’t even differentiate!?! And psychologically speaking, before they even grasp enough of this area, their tendency to make use of PAP mouths to glorify themselves show underlying complexes in blind fashion. If you sugguest this is leadership, I’d laugh and laugh and laugh… If SDP runs MOE someday, don’t kick me, I’d just quit. Why? You expect me to be under such leadership… …?

Totally insulting.

Companies won’t be forced to produce more… what you will do is most likely to force those who still can make it to relocate, and become competitors to those still located in Singapore. This is the more realistic consequence.

While Singapore is becoming less free according to SDP, Elfred is getting pretty free. While the core competency of the oppositions is understandable and the party proclaims to have the ‘best of the best’, the tide rising in favor for the oppositions is also understandable as registered by MM himself as he mentioned about 3 people voted for PAP with 2 voted for oppositions. Of course, this infamous lobo YP in Singapore is not enjoying life in Singapore.

This is, after all, a coming election with pretty high chance of losing GRC/s. The support rating for the party is about 43 now, it’s around no less than 70% chance a GRC could be taken. The problem with the electorate is they are counting on oppositions as SDP to check on PAP… Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha… Even my hair laughs. And our infamous motherfucker, the ambitious party-jumper law by law– Chia Ti Lik, could be among those trying to add excitement to Singapore’s most anticipated political event. I simply love to make fun of such dishonorable critter who still can exist in Singapore’s political arena. And then, I am also all eyes on Mr Tan Kin Lian… the self-proclaimed protector of consumers who have cut our policies’ returns times and again when he was the NTUC Insurance CEO. And also, the hilarious Goh Meng Seng who can’t even make sense of what he’s driving at. It’s very funny this sort of people could have sliced off 30 over % from PM’s GRC in the previous election. Singaporeans…

From my source, the current WP is still pretty weak. Still, they are short of people with ministerial calibre that while my old schoolmate is indeed a fine leader, he’s unlikely able to handle a ministry. Rumors have it that Mr Chiam and Mr Kenneth maybe joining up to contest a GRC. I am wondering between the two, whose idea could it be? Chiam’s belief in politics is a candidate must have a party to win. However, by such cooperation to take a GRC, isn’t it better to have Kenneth joining SPP instead? It makes more political sense probably to Chiam that way.

Or is Chiam planning for SPP to be incorporated into Reform Party in the long run?

Given the populace’s desire for change and their craving for sensation, this team looks promising despite my view remains that both Chiam and Low should first be kicked out of their old constituencies then properly challenge a GRC each. On the whole, while the oppositions are still pretty weak, the tide is rising in their favor, and with more NMPs for them, the deal becomes ever sweeter for them.

On our side, I suppose all eyes will fall on PM’s GRC. While most would expect a pretty unsurprising outcome, but curiousity should be very high with regards to the composition of PM’s GRC in this round. The other bright spark is the mentioning of the new candidate slated to be the next PM. Given the definite coming of new people, who will be leaving politics will be another concern. Due to various flying stories thus far, various MPs will also draw attention from the people. And of course, which GRC/s will be most risk?

No matter if MM has assume confidence in his 15 years of planning, cadres are almost ready to do whatever they could to ensure nothing goes wrong… MM has indicated his preparation for the people’s desire to have parliamentary changes and the unlikely likelihood of oppositions with calibre to come stealing their cheese, still which PM wants to fall out of power?

Still… hilariously speaking, if Ti Lik and Meng Seng were to have stayed with WP, if they are really a bit that good instead of being so opportunistic, the doors of parliament may well have opened for them starting from this round.

Somebody might have already guessed how would an injection point come about… Though the unlikelihood of such genius to have existed, while MM doesn’t deal in chances, Elfred never believes in chances. I have come online hoping to meet such a genius… In politics, there is never more than enough good brains to befriend with. Especially to float such a tiny boat in the coming storms, the more good hands joined together, the easier life will be.

After this coming election confirms the path for the PM ahead, after the intented PM character comes to light, PAP’s fortune would be made apparent. Political events as such determine if oranges really would fall from the sky into the basket MM is assuming. However, to reverse course… would be very difficult, or near impossible.

What kinda of leader draws what kinda of leaders. I don’t say such thing for nothing.

Hopefully, future leaders would benefit from this blog, and kids the likes of Panter92 should realise what political minds actually are, and the practical part of politics is never so simple (eg) as what baptism of fart that silly Goh Meng Seng believes in or what climbing higher and higher as that over-ambitious hollow vessel with too much dipping sperms counterpart of Goh would suggest. If anyone thinks local politics is so easy, please feel to go ahead; I still prefer my throne on the fence as a lobo-king.

Opportunists should realise that starting from this coming election, as I have mentioned years years years back, is the golden opportunity to step into parliament. Wow~ Imagine the high pay, great resume and glory plus pride… If you can form a team, a GRC is within your grasp as well~ Even if you lose, there will be NMP slots and you’d still be able to step into the parliament. Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha… Come on, don’t be shy.

I thought Singaporeans hold kiasuism in high esteem?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

Funny people…

Engaging The Political Playground In Singapore II.

For a tiny boat entering the storms, Singapore must be blessed with consecutive Fathers Of Singapore… something I somehow lambasted God for. It seems that after me, there must be another Father Of Singapore to come, to be in wait; a design that if God wants to perpetuate this game called Singapore, God would have to expose his/her very presence.

Before even kindegarten, I always had this dream: I was standing on the top floor of a small building holding high a very huge round hammer at its tip pointing towards the sky… a voice would from very early of such dreams called out at me, ‘if you concentrate, you would be able to balance on the edge. I was always holding the huge hammer in the same stance at the edge of the top of the building, and the wind would always be strong. But I never fell, although many times I thought I would. But my mind was insisting that I could balance that hammer 10 times the size of myself during those weird dreams.

It would not be more than ten years later that I managed to find out about what the hammer means: The People. The people will be pulling me either into a fall into the street below or to the roof top with the stir of the currents, and either way, I’d lose the game… as the Godly voice would tell me to concentrate on the balance. I can presume that the small building may be Singapore; and my job was to carry this hammer at the bloody tip and ensure all of us stay unfallen.

In my primary school days, somehow laws and science caught my interests alongside with my earlier thirst of logical stories. Chinese histories was encountered one day when I decided to acend the ladders to the adult section of Queenstown libraries, and there… the wonderful time of sucking all the great knowledge of all times that history could offer. I was literally a big bookworm, engrossed in the political histories of the Chinese, of the Ang Mohs, of the Indonesians and… they have a great deal of impact on my political behavior in this simplistic political sphere of Singapore.

Schools or those stupid degrees don’t help in my political and economical mastery, nor would they give me a cert for what I have gained. Too much knowledge means simply, I can’t memorize them; it’d be totally counter-productive, hence I accidentally went the Zhuge Liang’s way of focusing on points.

God didn’t start out building a leader in Elfred, it just makes him a seed for greatness. I have long realised that if I have to reach my full potential, this configuration will be necessary that I shan’t be blessed with leadership. I’d only need to lead one person, as I have to hold onto the tip of a ridiculously huge hammer instead of hugging it and got blown off into the void.

With divine ability for the occassion is not enough, a key still needs a keyhole; you’d need the door with the keyhole.

MM is blessed with leadership, then he established himself and gained the machinery and with the legacy, his political status remains unchallenged. The New Father of Singapore doesn’t have the leadership nor the machinery, but leadership is useless without great leaders and machinery can be drowned, and what I have is what MM has not. Which is exactly why PM Lee can’t grip this billion dollar chance to establish his own legacy. If the PM could gain this legacy with MM at this age, then MM will likely be much relieved.

Everything is going as script goes.

The final piece of confidence would rest on the system of concentrated powers… but the New Father of Singapore can see through all the weaknesses all too well. Put it this way, which emperor in fallen dynasties wasn’t supposed to be the one-and-only? Not to mention, this is a modern day democratic environment with many others out there watching and waiting to intervene. I can cite tons of concerns sustaintiated by infamous examples from all around the world but… the best substance may come from the recent Japanese election.

Online, Singapore’s system has been placed next to Westminster’s model but in my opinion, MM’s political model is closer to Japanese’s system. In such opinion, Thailand’s political turmoil or Tommy Blair’s fall or even UMNO’s fall may not probably be more important than the fall of Japanese’s ruling party. The amount of scandals has pulled Japan’s political sphere into shits, and suddenly, the almighty all-powerful LDP is seemingly to be toppled overnight.

Let’s not be naive… in politics, anything can happen. It only be that what happens would make a better world or to destroy it. But Singapore is, still, not Japan. We only have one capital, and to have two casinos, we need to squeeze them into one capital among one population.

MM doesn’t know the future, he can only react as best as he could, and the PM is currently waiting out the storm, hoping that the larger economies recover faster as it is also a requirement that Singapore shall hold its election. Elfred knows what is going on, that by the time they assume the storm is about to be over, phase 3 shall strike… So how to have election without kicking on the said requirement?

No matter who this PM shall appoint as the next PM, this next PM will need the service of Elfred. But the catch is, who will be the next PM? He or she will need to turn things around without the support of the MM… without the legacy that binds the machinery together as the MM got… and without doubt, he or she will face the anger and bitterness of a population no lesser than that of Japan’s. If he or she is incompetent and without my help, he or she will get ousted, and there… the party may end. I expect the MM to see this as well given his experience and maturity as a leader.

The new PM will face tougher international politics, and need to make decisions of more complex nature; but that time, unhappiness at the backyard will be about ripe. For a small state as Singapore’s, without the people’s support in general, administering by laws will merely invite the growing international powers… namely the human rights group and their allies such as Wall Street J and many others. Inflation will kill another hope of prosperity, the high salaries in any sector… will be challenged by rebellious mobs. Those seemingly loyal and obedient and well-fed may switch sides and become well-fed challenges.

MM can react to most challenges when he is alive, not when he is not around.

The scandals are blowing hot, if emperors could be disposed off, there is no such system that can guarantee forever powers, the MM is unlikely to be leaving this PM totally stuck in the mud, or whatever he has built to be threatened a devastation due to the animosity from the opposition… now consisted of professionals and the wealthy, and perhaps old friends of the party. Economically speaking, we are facing one fiasco after one scandal… MAS is fighting for a future with Hong Kong over the tier-3 products, while just a few years back, many are celebrating the gold from opening up the finance sector… which have seen this sector gone haywire into a high mis-selling spree, and as many from this sector flowed into education… education sector got hit as well with the same problems.

And very soon, MM’d be facing a tough choice as to apologise again for the flying property prices in his next memoir or otherwise… Comrade Mah has been monitoring as property prices are flying north again… amidst Obama’s deficit hitting 9.1trillions… which means, Obama will need to raise around 30trillions the next round if he wants to maintain the status quo. The army of unemployment is becoming a huge fashion in the States so… well, we have got one NASdaq guy and will be paying him well, hope that helps.

You see, as a YP… I have dutifully raised certain issues which are very critical in very vague manner to MM, and by now, the Old Father Of Singapore must have realised that everything that I have generously mentioned to him is not expecting the government to act… for if the government really listens, how can my story go on…? Hahahahahahahaha… The script must proceed on as God wills. No matter how serious I sounded, I seriously doubt the government can catch anything… nor should I be expected to ‘direct’ the government by instructing what it should do.

It is not my duty to change the governments… it is their roles to make a mess out of this world so that some people can make a mark in history. The reason why I mentioned ‘incumbent surrenders power’ during a time of struggling oppositions is very obvious by now… I know what Singapore will become, and I am giving Singapore 1 whole term, more than 5 years, to prove its worth, and I shall step into politics without even the need to attack any party by that time… as I have promised. All I need to do is to go for election as any side, and tell the people these are what I shall offer them: A better life, a nation. Of what actually MM had promised Singaporeans…

Ironical… since the New Father of Singapore is promising the same thing the Old Father of Singapore had promised after so many generations. The British was so weak that when the crisis landed from the North to the point of progressing to the South… they backed off and waited and waited and waited in their super-fortress and got defeated after demanding the best and highest rewards, and after all the great propagandas. MM Lee just… moved in, after those useless British cleared up those Yellow Turbans…

By now, even the less experienced PM would have realised why Elfred is so quiet… is willing to be inactive and wait. He is waiting for his leader. He needs a leader to shine, and to become the New Father of Singapore.

I may not be rich, nor am I influencial, nor am I as qualified in cooking, but… I am the element which will decide the fate of Singapore. See? No matter who PM Lee raised as the next PM, as long as I sit on the fence and idle, the next PM will fall… amidst even more scandals and more powerful tides and huge complicated political decisions. The reason why I have to be a neutral is not to show off the sensational ministerial calibre, but it’s a need in preparation for the chaos ahead. As the LDP is falling, many are accusing the opposition as the shadow of LDP since many candidates were formally from LDP. In order to save Singapore, this stance must not be confusing and must be solid. This is where many youngster new local politicians have gone wrong… Looking at Calvin and Ti Lik should have subtly struck them the importance of what Elfred’s doing.

With this, any future policies will enjoy higher trust, and that’d make my life and the party’s life easier; Instead of doing any policy and people start screaming, ‘you are a PAP lapdog, you just want money…’ and all those nosense. So… the problem is not getting elected, the problem is what then. Remember, my ultimate role is to become the New Father of Singapore, and how to do that if you cannot govern properly? In order to govern during that sort of chaos, you must hold onto balance… right from now.

For a carefree lobo now, I’m going to be the busiest man in Singapore… The MM doesn’t understand how desperate Singapore would be during that time because, perhaps, we do have the reserve now but… sometimes, not all crisis are due to money.

It’s a future, as those armies of small people online and offline would be expecting, that I will likely be ousted from the party… as many would have mentioned in the forum that they will do anything to kick me out. That will likely to happen especially when MM has departed. This ceremony probably signals the condition of the party in that future. MM probably realises that Elfred won’t do anything stupid, and he’s not the type who’d anyohow defect. It’s a characteristic of most high calibre elements across histories.

Unhappiness and in fact, bitterness, may be increasing… or not, but the oppositions have never been an issue in the script. To those laymen, their best weapon is physically attack, attack and attack… They attack huge foe and of course, they should expect retailiation, retailiation and retailiation. Then they cried foul. For people like us, we simply sit back and count the termites… One tiny termite can do wonders the world’s bullets combined can’t. If Percival was not appointed by the ignorant Queen, without this useless high class commander, the colonies won’t realise that their masters were so lousy… One tiny termite is all that is enough to raise an whole hierachy of termites… Look at Durai, look at Ming Yi… one simpleton king and an whole army of simpletons raised. Hahahahahahahahaha…

When the Shang despot messed up Shang dynasty, Jiang Ziya was already an old old man… yet he advised his lord to wait. His lord already had the men, the wealth and the weapons to defeat the despot. But why would an old man hold his lord off? Was he a coward?

By the time I stand for election, not only will I not attack others but I’d politely tell everyone ‘The others are great leaders’. But still, if they are really that great, how would I stand for election and… enter service? As I have said, I won’t bother to attack the party, nor the opposition. And the MM would probably already realised that in such a time, there will be tons of opportunists contesting for offices. It will be either someone who is competent or not, and it’d be a great chaos to come or a busy Elfred saving Singapore to be.

Elfred becoming a minister is no dream, becoming a Prime Minister would be. This is easily understood because Elfred has a tendency to ‘fade off’ from politics, and the leader who have recruited him must continuously show great wisdom as a leader to keep Elfred around. Which is also why there is a 50% chance that Elfred would be a minister because… understandably, elements as such are very picky on who they will serve. That is also combined to the fact that Elfred is constantly preparing for evacuation. My inclination is more like that Liu Bo Wen… After I become the New Father Of Singapore, it’d be time to enjoy retirement… Hahahahahahahahahaha…

Wayangparty.com has a few recent pieces of articles which are pretty interesting… Whether they are true or not, the point is, in a cosmopolitan… as online, the whole point is how to govern, that such ‘media’ may operate partially or in full outside the control of Singapore, just as many influencial figures may be partially or totally belonging to outside intervention.

If all one can do is resorting to office politics in a political regime… the best can simply be ousted but the challenges remain and become relatively tougher as good hands are no longer around. There will never be short of gossips… but if Percival could win the war, it’d be just victory.

Engaging the political playground must come with solid common sense. Why does one have to fight when in real, to wait is the most workdone. With enough scandals and enough oppositions, the party will be forced to be drastic… Where there are serious works, there will be credits, and where there are credits there will be competitions… and where there is without deep culture, moral will be absent… an ugly fight will be imminent.

The Prime Minister Of Singapore.

After CLOB was closed down, somebody’s head was taken, Mr Lee Hsien Loong took over Prime Minister’s office from Mr Goh Chok Tong. He’s probably the first unlucky Prime Minister to be thrown into the office… If I were to be his advisor, I’d have probably suggested to him to wait for a term before taking office. Of course, whether he’d listen or not is not really my problem, as the case of whatever I suggested to the minister…

Of course, I’d probably be nagging him about the casinos and he’d probably be killing me by then… Hahahahahaha…

Joke aside, PM had stepped into a time of great sensitivity of which I had seen and hinted in YPforum the need to hence be very vigilant on setting human resource right in his first election… Having tried, he is now engulfed by scandals after scandals, and year after year of ridicules from ungrateful citizens online especially after every national speech… and subsequently, he is now stucked in a crisis from a golden era and waiting out the crisis…

The economic problems has escalated till now since the 90s with residents now flooding MPS for grants and other aids. Alongside with MM’s burst out about the population targets, PM has focused his policy on birth rates to save the last mohicans… or whatever, but without much success so far. That is, when minority race is known to be enjoying higher birth rate as compared to the majority Chinese.

Recently, a significant PAP presence online and one that was promoted even in the mainstream media– YPforum, was finally closed down…

No matter how interesting MM is to Elfred, PM is still the current future, and we are all waiting for SM Goh’s memoir to understand certain things happening in the 90s.

Panter92 said this PM always screwed up… Elfred’s remark is this PM is a dragon who has yet found his wings. A leader who always screwed up is a leader who has not found his wings yet. No matter how high a dragon aims, without wings, a dragon will never fly across valleys. If a dragon tries to cross a valley without his wings, of course he falls. Removing a PM because things are not going well is like condemning Liu Bei because he couldn’t even hold Jing. But if you remove Liu Bei, who would recruit Zhuge, who would lead great generals as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and a whole bunch of heroes?

Hence, the real issue is… the PM’s attitude about election, and that is… his inclination towards political human resource. Remember, political human resource could kill…

Just because one is more capable doesn’t mean a PM should be disposed off. The above explained hence the idea of politics neither Ti Lik nor Dr Chee and those who ousted Chiam obviously understand. There are comments stating online that ‘…PM isn’t doing a good job…’. Plainly put, all across histories, there were more ‘PMs’ who didn’t do a better job before they got their aces… or their wings.

Regretably, I can’t explain plainly here why I remarked about the dragon and wings concept even before the last election… It’d be way too complex.

The criticisms against the PM are not hard to understand, but equally laughable… since nobody is perfect, if Mas Selamat escaped you dismissed Minister Wong, if PM said Mee Siam Mai Hum you disposed him off, then politically speaking, there won’t be Liu Chan, there won’t be Qin Emperor, there won’t be Liu Bang, there won’t be… …

Talking about Liu Chan people probably won’t buy this idea, but… how about Liu Bang? This guy was merely a hooligan who knew nothing about war strategies nor anything about politics, and all he knew was money, eat, drink, play, sleep… He got so screwed up right from the start to the time he was dumped to Shu. If any MPs were to slight this Prime Minister for screwing things up… politically speaking, how many of them had spoken up when MAS was celebrating the loosening up of finance sector? How many had gone the extra miles and insisted that we don’t follow Australian’s education way into the drain and bashed CASE? How many realise that they share a responsibility in failing to support the PM who always screwed up?

It’s very easy for smartalecs to criticise, but in critical times, how many are not comfortably hiding in the turtle shells and enjoying the fat stipends? How many would risk their own positions in the party or their future by trying to dissuade the top on bringing in the casinos? But when Durai happened, when Lehman strikes, when education sector messes up… there are no short of Singaporeans saying this PM screwed up.

Who dared to stop the celebration when the geese are slaughtered? 

Many are condemning online about Viswa’s censorship on his own speech at IPS. Hahahahahahahahaha… I can understand Viswa’s position as an NMP. So when PM talked about the People’s Sector, I saw only no action. Viswa sounds paranoid in his reply to theonlinecitizen (http://theonlinecitizen.com/2009/08/why-report-on-viswa-sadasivans-speech-was-removed-from-toc/), but his notion through the way he described about how his article was published in theonlinecitizen actually betrays to a rational extent on how the government may be perceiving theonlinecitizen. Which clearly yields this, MM is watching theonlinecitizen.

People are denouncing Viswa’s calibre as a leader. In a way, Viswa is a ‘leader’ who technically speaking… leads no constituency. So this remark has little point against Viswa. If MM or PM would have wanted Viswa as  a leader, he’d be thrown into a GRC, logically speaking.

The only type of element MM will have any chance considering to pull out from NMP system as a leader would be someone who is needed as a leader but totally unproven… at least to the snobs who have been well-fed too much too long in the society. This type of chap isn’t even a manager of department or have a ‘clean’ record of leadership in any social groups. This is actually because of normal ‘human reflexes’. Very few people will be as Liu Bei who will bend themselves to visit a farmer to make him chief. Which is also why across histories, heroes were only that few.

The whole point here is to illustrate the natural reality of criticising… in or outside the party. While the PM is indeed open to noises, most noises are not actually fit for listening.

This PM started out in a very difficult environment. As I have mentioned before even he had his first election, the chance of his making his way out is very little. The risks were riskier for him because what he faced were risks which can’t be seen with the naked eyes. He started out with no talents, and after that election, he innocently established this trend… and tied himself even more steadfastly onto the pole. Without talents, he would have no chance in normal dealings, not to even mention about fending Singapore from the crisis or… to gain the necessary legacy to command the now very huge structure with plenty of scandals blown up or brewing.

And it is doubly tough to do anything to people who have killed the geese and were rewarded handsomely for the golden eggs. Politically speaking, that would be most embarassing. Every piece of screw found in this island belongs to the charge of this PM. As I have also mentioned in the forum, if every ‘CEO’ (as the PM had reportedly described) screwed up a little each time, this PM would be totally screwed up each time. Ultimately, people will point a finger not all towards those ‘CEOs’ but mainly at the PM. And this is already beginning.

As early when the floodgate of internet was about to open, I have written to the minister to caution about opening the floodgate when the island was not ready and the impact on this PM. Obviously after this email, ministers were championing this internet phenomenon and promoting blogging alongside with the PM, sowing the seed of new media to the now closing down of YPforum with the new YP chief, and thereafter, Elfred was also active online blogging. Then, this PM having opened the floodgate with so much enthusiasm has invited the existence of Wayangparty and Theonlinecitizen, and to legislate a control of internet would be most politically embarassing and detrimental by now.

Without talents and with the winds blowing even stronger, this PM is also in the midst of a global rearrangement… and one he encountered surprises and should be expecting more surprises from. Before the USA, Elfred had already gained an understanding of joint Sino-Russian military cooperation and China’s international strategy (say) towards Japan. But many things are more than meets the eyes here, and I am watching the decisions made by the government… in its proceeding into this era of global sensitivities. During the sensational rumors of military action against Taiwan by China, Taiwan bought over somebody to observe the action. The reason why I was already convinced there won’t be any action back then in the YPforum without spending so much money was because those people have no common sense.

China had a military force that can readily overrun Taiwan in less than a week, despite the forces of USA in the region. However, their politicians were much aware that once war began, the senates and those Americans may use that chance to wage war on China. That was about when Bush was moving his troops all around the middle east, which was strike force was available just west of China. The most critical part of this game was Russia’s nuclear forces… Combined with the Russians, in the consequence of a retailiation from the infamous troops of USA, they can completely nuke USA… not via missiles only. You simply need to export the war heads quietly into USA as terrorists would, and remote them to explode. Japan won’t be expected to take sides, because if Japan moved, it will be quickly overrun as well. And from Alaska, they can continue to bombard USA’s main ground. Which is to say, if a third World War would begin, USA would likely become a wasteland right in the beginning with Washington micro-waved, alongside with the President.

The battle plan is quick, and devastating, but considering this… only USA would be wiped out. And USA is now a state ridden with huge mega humongous deficits… Sooner or later, those massive unemployed will also be starved to death in the cold cold winter.

The reason hence why I am sure the politicians won’t give the go ahead for any military action is really about the observation on Russia and the understanding of this simple battle plan… just as Chinese scholars and even Wu Yi realised that all one needs to do is simply to withdraw the monies from USA and their currency will become waste paper… That won’t be really that much hurt to a rising dragon as compared to the sinking Japanese boat. China also did something to contain Japan, but… people will kill me if I say too much. Hahahahahahahahaha…

The PM, totally unaware of such global tension… was only naturally finding it hard to respond. The government doesn’t even understand simple crisis, how can you expect Singapore to handle such global situation? One Thai mishap is more than enough. Of course, if I had have stepped in… many things would have being different.

Just as my advice about Malays being promoted in military because I very much doubt there will be a war with Malaysia, so that PAP could start meddling in politics with UMNO, I don’t see much sense in China taking Taiwan now when China is not only gripping USA firmly at the neck but also why begin a total war that can be very costly? But USA is stupidly trying to move around its interests with its ace military seemingly disregarding the underlying threats of a total wipeout… Well… seeing the way Obama pumped money into a blackhole makes this quite… understandable.

Do you now realise what is ministerial calibre? I mean the real type.

So as we are speaking, LDP in Japan is completely lost… Assuming PAP were to be completely torn out overnight, what do you think will happen?

Once that were to happen, one thing I am very sure of is that the new incumbent will go after the assets of Lee family. If MM could have sued Dr Chee for defamation, in the same manner, the new incumbent will quickly take the wealth of Lee family via defamation if not in more efficient manners. This is definitely so because a huge chuck of wealth is always necessary for the running of government in a resource scarce condition, and also to impair a powerful intervention. Which is as simple as that, I have never once suggested MM to sue Sgforums given those despotic disrespecting mobs towards his honorable self. There are many boomerangs in politics, easy to throw… but too hot to catch.

Many people just want the celebration and award part, but who wants to take responsibility and get hit in turn?

Qin Emperor was very harsh as well, he trusted Zhao Gao who was no less harsher, and he got his empire destroyed by harsh retailiation and he got his entire clan murdered harshly by Zhao Gao… Which is why I am so concerned about the Pothepanda issue. Why? You think whatever Elfred is concern is like peanuts?

The public online concern about MM’s talk on sending in the army is… laughable.

In Faraheit 911, Michael Moore once asked those senates and big shots, would they send their own children to the middle eastern front…? The Singapore army is a most snobbish one. Scholars easily become leaders, colonels without reading the directives are playing golfs and shocked during court… In chaos, if MM really sends in the armies, what he’d get is this… a whole bunch of well-fed people who are unwilling to brave their good lives. All these people are too well-fed all for the wrong reasons, and why for the right reasons should they fight at all?

You see, Singapore practises conscription at a very high national scale. The moment you send your own troops against your own people, you still need people to go back for national service… and you still need them to draw weapons… … Once you have a population that is about to riot, to resort to violence, which is… once you send in the troops, you’d open the armory for guns and roses. Because in such troops, they are all Singaporeans, and Singapore has only one city. And if the city is divided, hence the army. And once you start sending bullets in, bullets will start flying everywhere out of control eventually. NSF, reservists and even those non-business contractors are also near armories, and parliament house is not on Tekong island but right there… a few minutes of travelling from NSF and conscripts who have just drawn out weapons and AWOL-ed.

Which is why people are concerned if MM said that, I’m not.

Those people who are inclined to violence at MPS against state leaders… the difference between them and during chaos is that they don’t have fire-arms… yet. And they are still few in numbers, which means they are appearing. But in chinese saying, one spark of fire can lead to a whole forest melt-down.

All these explained what I should be explaining years back of whatever remarks I had back then.

Actually, it’s very difficult for me to assist this current regime. It’s not just because those smart people won’t listen, but the situation is not ripe yet. Before the knife drops enough and hit the flesh, the face will still be smiling. Whoever this PM favored to become the next PM, if the new PM is not a complacent snob, I’d offer him or her one offer of service. Take it, or leave it. It’d be up to the luck of the next PM. Which is doubly why I am most puzzled about who has this PM in mind. In a way, whoever PM Lee chooses will decide whether I’d step in. And whether I’d step in will decide if Singapore survives or collapses eventually.

But if Singapore were to collapse, I’d still be able to pull it back… with another leader. If the choice this PM makes is not the best, current problems will escalate, LDP’s fall may be replicated in Singapore. So this is a choice I must make it very clear to the PM that it not only concerns Singapore, but also concerns the party. Things will either get uglier or more beautiful.

It’s definitely not that I don’t like this PM so that I rather remain inactive. Like and don’t like are snobbish concerns which don’t apply to politics, by right. My role is not to make MM or PM likes me, as their role is not about to make a pet out of people around them. And my role is definitely not about blogging with marvelous English as Ms Wee’s with a presidential award. The issue is this, this PM has innocently ventured too deep into the mud. As he has started out with no real help, hence with plenty of ropes strangling him, he has innocently made it near impossible to even keep me in MOE teaching. And there are still plenty of hope towards the returns from the Casinos. And many are realising that the job of the card-dealer is only $1800… Hahahahahahahahaha…

In order to engage this political playground of Singapore, we must be very clear cut about the current environment and what to expect. As I have mentioned, the number of politicians in this sphere is not even half of the potential number in future. Many people are lurking behind the scenes as the MM ages… MM has his smarts and concerns, but so have the many elements lying around waiting for big mamouth hunt to start.

The problem about who will be leading in the future is, as explained in the YPforum, that whoever were to take over PAP… will it be a better alternative? But God only sends a superb element out of many millions, given the condition of Singapore, whilst the tide of the opposition may make an LDP out of PAP, but what next?

Here comes the perfect solution… If termites are attacking the city walls now laden with termites as well. As the government is busy clearing those sharks plus the earlier simple-minded Yellow Turbines… both will be weakening amidst the scandalous fights as the people grow ever more disappointed. This will hit a new height as the agitated government finally tries something more drastic or as drastic as in the 60s… and sends a population struggling among the ridiculous snobs and enjoying a bitter time as easy-to-bully-cum-fix have-nots into large scale violence…

What if the Prime Minister has been very careful and very on in pulling in all the best elements right for the start? What if he got the talents who pull him through and undermine all those scandals and crisis? What if the talents assist him to efficiently execute the right policies and clean up the government?

Then I’d have no job… Hahahahahahahaha…

Theoretically, that would be so, but in real… given the size of Singapore, talents will be very scarce to the point that they may not even exist. If the PM has been very on, I’d still have a job, or very definitely, I’d be a minister already. See? Hahahahahahahahahaha…

So ‘What If’s are many, but theories are still theories if they even make sense or not. The only thing I am sure of is that this Panter92 can forget about being what leader to control the world… Hahahahahahahaha… In order to be that kinda leader, my first question to him is: Do you think Elfred will help him?

Silly boy… a dragon without wings can forget about flying high. He wants to lead, without even realising he needs leaders. What? He really thinks being a leader is simply like no happy with forum and he can just close down Singapore? If he really needs leaders, he won’t be arguing like a nosense.

No elements like myself will go closer to stubborn fools who insist on nosense. Yuan Shao was such a leader. He got the largest of reserves, of armies and of lands… Look at the fate of Tien Feng. Who the fuck could that fool recruit? Or did the need of recruiting talents even ever occur to him?

Some people want to know the magic of knowing an Earthquake in Taiwan in advance… Well.. it is no magic, just check your NASA website for whatever Earth issues. Hmm… it’s about time to review Mark Ma’s condition. If people really want to know, this chap has been moving in seemingly right steps but actually he’s only moving himself into dangerous grounds. Initially, I supposed I could assist him but… later I think again. He probably won’t realise what he is getting into back then… He may be a good ‘emperor’, but he’s still a good emperor without good hands. Just as Obama… many said he is a good guy who (eg) condemned those shameless CEOs. But still, he’s a good guy without good hands.

If Obama is willing to hire a pair of good hands, I’d like to offer my humble service for Euros3b to cut his deficit by half… This offer shall expire in 1 month. The pre-requisite is that he still is strong enough to make decisions… Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

Over here, politics is about need not ambitions.

As usual, I am the infamous gust of fart online… nice smelling.

Engaging The Political Playground In Singapore.

Plenty of issues came and went and whatever they were, they were both important and unimportant to me in real. In this entry, we’d start off by touching Elaina Olivia Chong’s comment on NMP Calvin Cheng merely because it’s an interesting story. Nothing else.

With reference to this http://theonlinecitizen.com/2009/07/new-nmp-has-discredited-yp-publicly-says-exco-member/, it obviously brings YoungPAP into the spotlight. And yes… I am aware of some agitation from the veterans over Elaina’s comment on Calvin, which will be ironical to many laymen including Elaina and many in the women’s wing. Elfred is not here to berate Elaina, for one can’t afford to offend the girls… isn’t that so? Hahahahahaha…

Just some… political education for the girls.

No no, no ’shut up and sit down’…

Firstly, I hope the public remember that Singapore is… not exactly that good in politics. It can’t be helped, and we can understand that Elaina is pretty young. There is no need to be over-reacting to her insensitive comments on Calvin from a political point of view…

Put it this way, politically speaking, Calvin didn’t discredit YoungPAP with his remarks, but an Exco must understand that being umm… so sensitive towards a new NMP selected by the government, by a select committee of seniors and approved by the party Sec-Gen in the capacity of Prime Minister and endorsed by the President… I hope Elaina and the entire Women’s Wing learn from this case and try to understand the real stance in politics to take. I am trying very hard not to sound lecturing…

Put it this way, some Chinese officials visited PAP before, and were curious about how the party could be invisible yet so strong in numbers. Those officials were both curious and not involved in the party, but them being frank didn’t discredit PAP nor YP. The point is, it has been obvious that PAP is ‘invisible’ as the incumbent in Singapore among Singaporeans. If we don’t blame foreigners for being frank being curious, there is no need to be so sensitive towards our own people… or ex-comrades.

Hence given the nature of the party, there is nothing wrong for a local to be taking up a membership with PAP out of curiousity. Scientifically speaking, the interest in anything starts mostly from curiousity… including interest in the opposite sex, interest in politics, or… interest to be the next President of United State. On the other hand, if Calvin didn’t join YoungPAP out of curiousity, would he be exposed to party works and matters? Would the party simply open up details and meetings to any Tom, Dick and Hairy?

Being not involved is pretty common in politics, especially for a large organisation as PAP, sleeping members happen commonly in various times in common organisational behavior… Just because some people with common sense in SDP don’t join Dr Chee’s protest doesn’t mean they are disloyal or discrediting SDP where in certain times, those sleepers may perform in elections or provide fundings or legal expertise and so on.

Calvin’s experience in YP is decided also by a match of himself to what the party was having, and to load him with accusations merely for his frankness in the involvement with PAP won’t go well with the Party motto. His new appointment as the NMP is backed or approved by the incumbent government, the appointment to perform for the interest of the state overrides the need of such sensitivity over such insignificant remarks. Before Calvin even proves himself in the parliament, being over-sensitive over the government’s selection decision would not reflect well on both the government and the party; Doing so merely discredits the government’s credibility in appointing…

Not very the nice. That’s especially when this new NMP was commenting in his own capacity and the exco was commenting on his comments as a YP exco member. Always remember, YP is the political side of PAP and is not the grassroot. There is no need to be sad for the would-be voice in Parliament over such insignificant comment. Any policy or plight of the poor would be of higher priority to an NMP’s ‘resume’ than to raise the concern of ‘in-fighting’ among members of public.

If Calvin can’t perform better than the Beauty Queen, I’d be sad. As an exco member, there is no need to be bothered about non-important issue. Put it this way, if this chap can perform well in parliament and assist the state, does it matter if, well… he did join PAP out of curiousity? We should be sad if this would-be voice ends up hollow…

So before he even gets to perform, Elaina may be more appropriate to give the government and the party leaders some face. One can criticise any NMP, nonetheless to do so with the correct focus.

I don’t even care if he brushed his teeth with or without the PAP card…

I don’t really understand why the concern of in-fighting springs out from nowhere with Elaina’s comments. She’s just a young girl in the exco as a member, she’s just a Singaporean, and it’s just an innocent case of being sensitive needing a fine-tune. She’s not Elfred, people should take it easy. So now the government has a brand new team of NMPs injected into the parliament, only time will tell if it should be sad or otherwise. Different views don’t strictly imply what in-fighting. All Elaina needs is merely a political education. Even Michael Jackson had his fans and haters…

NMP: Of Future Leaders.

The NMP selection this round, well… according to the Prime Minister, is about future leadership. Before the current batch of NMPs got too excited, the Prime Minister subsequently mentioned about this ‘people sector’ of which the government can get NMPs from.

Anyway, Siew Cum Hong has no more future as what NMP. And recently, our good NKF hero in the Law Ministry is allowing the government to bestow people the government needs with lawyers’ powers… or legal qualifications that will, for one, make anyone the government needs Judges. And my old MPS colleague suggested the idea of NMP minister once again…

Firstly, Elfred won’t bite the idea of NMP minister. Here clears the fog.

As I have said ever before, the local political circle for the younger generation is really pretty small… and with the internet, it gets even smaller. Hahahahaha… Recently, I caught the idea that that motherfucker Chia Ti Lik is like wanting to quit politics… that is, after his big talks with Elfred in the old and removed YPforum about being big during a lifetime…

Obviously, his libido is not small nonetheless…

Just because Elfred appears inactive and vanished from cyberspace doesn’t mean he’s blind and deaf on development so far. Ti Lik obviously doesn’t understand politics, and he probably wanted to be Chairman… Hahahahahahahahahahaha… … As I have said before, politics is no joke, it’s not as if happy happy you enter the fray, then no happy you press the ’stop’ button. What baptism of fire? It’s just hot air…

Unfortunately, the YPforum has been removed and he won’t get to revise Elfredian views…

Future leaders… are not those only online chasing high hits, pumping up links to friends and definitely not one day in day out acting tough challenging Elfred challenging authorities. No man is an island, it’s especially true in this desert. As I have already mentioned… look at MM, did he take even a bamboo to confront the Japanese or the British Colonial masters, even when one was going to be crushed and the latter to lose power?

While everyone is acting tough enjoying the illusion of being an hero, Elfred is and has been offering the display of weaknesses and suffering alongside with the population. I have the calibre to be a minister, but that is not because of blind ambition… this calibre includes being able to understand and grasp Singapore’s future, and most importantly… to know the need to wait. There is no hurrying in politics when time offers no need for hurrying. So many things need to be done to clear the mess and float this tiny boat… what’s the hurry?

Future leaders…

What is the future, anyone?

If you don’t know the future, talking about future leaders is more or less not really appropriate. History… in simple philosophy, amidst weaknesses how many emperors could support or install pillars? Talented officers glow as the skies turn dark, their honorable hearts brighten up the souls of men as corruption befalls, and… really high calibre political minds don’t lust after being NMPs and hurry as if they will risk losing out in a wet market fire-sale.

In this power game, it’s still power or no power. And being an NMP means you will have no real power. How can you save Singapore and be the Father of Singapore with no power? How can you rebuild Singapore with only ideology, dreams and hot air? It’s precisely a mess a new Father of Singapore shalt rise, and it’s precisely of powerful trashes to confront and tough nutshells to crack that a prosperous situation could be ushered in, and there is no space for hot air or the luxury of underestimating the need of power for the grand project. Being an NMP also means you discard the boat and swim alone…

The last point is not exactly valid, especially to the infamous neutral element in PAP… or the fence-sitter who sounds anti-PAP by fellow comrades and sounds anti-oppositions by fellow Singaporeans… Hahahahahahahahahaha… Which actually means that even if Elfred becomes an NMP, his reputation as a neutral element is more than enough to stand tall with a PAP card and to provide a neutral voice in parliament. But the reason for being neutral is a necessity for the future and not for the craving to enter parliament as an NMP. At the moment, the correct stance to take is merely to stay out of the main fight.

As I have told Panter92, I have no intention to catch the bloody knife.

However, I am quite sure the MM would definitely want someone to catch the knife… if a knife does come by, and if he does see one. And in Singapore, I don’t think he has another option for this stunt. He should have realised that by now… as everybody would have realised the bullshits about the huge fanciful Keynesian strategy of pumping in big money to deal with a seemingly big but… not really that big crisis. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha~ Sad for Obama, he’s wasting big money because many are thinking like that silly Panter92. How Obama’s going to handle Phase 3 would be a big question mark… We’d cover the economic part later, if Elfred’s got the mood to. But USA’s problem is not really my problem, so… …

I am not really bothered about what tsunami is to come… It’s as if, apparently so, that there is anyone else who can clear up the mess. Where God has flooded the lands, he has sent someone to recover the lands…

There is nothing arrogant here… but there is no future with fortune tellers. The snobs predicted Singapore would fail decades back if we were left alone, but we survived. We survived not because of the snobs nor of the fortune tellers but merely because we had the talents leading. We will still have a future… provided we still want the talents.

Point is, politics… it comes in all shapes and sizes, that while anything can happen, it must happen somewhere.

I have read several articles regarding the NMPs in the aftermath, and one touched on the selection criteria of NMPs… Put it this way, it was a well-written piece but with nothing really nourishing. Recently, the top is talking about the new PM from the coming batch of election candidates. It’s a precise timing why Elfred has mentioned years back that now is the time to stay relatively quiet, and fade off. But the point about this new PM is on the point that the others in the hall must be agreeable to… And please, who in the regards of appointing anyone anything would risk being discarded by being disagreeable to the new PM in the hall…?

Political appointment is… always like this, as already explained before, by the need and the power in working. Which is to say, if the MM still holds the power, the appointment of anyone would likely to go by his need… or the perceived need of his. Which is to say, in the reported article I only read ‘PAP is going to pull a PM out from the coming new batch of election candidates in his/her 30s~40s’, and I don’t really bother about what majority would support he or she to be PM.  If the MM or the PM is strong enough, their words would be a verdict… because it’d be a test on their influence over their party, not anything of the new PM-in-wait. Which is also why I read the article of the selection criteria of NMP as if I am reading like no reading. I suppose Calvin Cheng knows this already, better than anyone else… …

In real, NMP is a path into politics, into the election, and to become even a PM. However, if one knows the MM… he’d probably suggest that all critical elements he needs to be in politics to be pushed into GRCs for field testing or entrenchment. Which means, in the layers of selection, an NMP is probably the last of possibilities to be a ‘future leader’. It could be, but the possibility is close to 0%. Which is actually why I was laughing at one online remark years back that… well, suggested NMPs selected is to test them for the future election candidates’ selection… or for what bigger roles to come.

There are 80 over party members, and how many members are really cut out to be the next Father of Singapore to take over from Mr Lee Kuan Yew? Tell me… Not to say of a handful of NMPs. What bigger roles to come in the political sphere? As one minister said… reportedly quoted by the online noises: You are only an MP…

Elfred is telling the NMPs hence that… ‘You are only an NMP‘.

Perhaps one or two NMPs may end up standing as a candidate for PAP during election in the future. But in real, there are really too many people including the 80 over political secretaries of MPs in the party who are not yet MPs… and of course, in order to represent the population better, in such understanding, the simplest way is to have new faces for the NMPs batch after batch. Which means you’d have these future leaders changed pretty quickly.

Talents of high political calibre never lust after becoming NMPs; It might be better to be a quiet grassroot leader appearing and disappearing at events with ministers and MPs… years after years.

NMPs are best for those people outside the party. However, in order to get a ‘pass’ you must get into the radar, and how do you get within the narrow radar range and to subsequently get selected… as an outsider? All in all, it’s still fundamental political understanding: Are you inside the circle of trust? If you are talking about criteria, it’d be only of which circle of association you’re likely to be in. If nobody knows you, and when they know you you are not in the right valuable circles… it’d be rather tricky.

So You Want To Be The Next PM?

Some folks naughtily suggested that I could apply for this… to be the next PM of Singapore. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

Quite true, no matter it’s a joke. Since the New Father of Singapore is the only one who can clear up the mess and build a nation out of this messed up state, Elfred should be applying to be the next PM. Why not? The point is, Elfred is not an element of leadership. Remember, in every political organisation Elfredian classification of leaders is: Leader, Advisor, Worker. Elfred belongs to the Advisor class, and one who loathes politics…

A Leader doesn’t need to know what sort of crisis is coming or would you need to touch the reserve and what to look out for and what to do… He needs leadership and the wisdom of leading. I am the one who would be laughing at Panter92, Bohemian, Stray Cat, Friedlice and the bunch for their idiotic notions, to suggest what sort of crisis, to touch the reserve or not and why, what to look out for and what to do.

Elfred can’t be a Prime Minister, but that doesn’t mean he is lower than a Leader class Prime Minister. A powerful Advisor class must also lead Leader class as the Leader class must lead the Advisor class and the Worker class leaders. The Prime Minister is a soul, the Advisors are the brains. The soul influences the brains as the brains in turn shalt influence the soul, and to heaven or hell the entire body would move to. In a way, Liu Bei could slight and kill Zhuge Liang just as he wished to commit suicide and moved Shu into void. Liu Bei’s fatal error was his own ignorance that he could be anything and instead of maximising his Leadership, he tried to be his own brains…

Admit it; Leader class are not known generally for their wisdom and many encountered such fatal error as Liu Bei’s. Before him, Qi King Huan made the same error, Qin Emperor too… and after him tons of such… leaders. The rise of Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew was also due to him being surrounded by leaders of his time. He was leading the leaders, hence he became great. Man of greatness are great for their abilities and luck to lead leaders whereby those leaders in turn led him to glory.

Nowadays, the younger generations view leadership in classrooms as deputies who said yes, and sounded obedient… I have heard the leadership course of one school… transfering such similar or related leadership philosophy to those young leaders. Hahahahahahahahahaha…

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha… …

I see the shadows of such whacky leadership thinking in not just Goh Meng Seng, Ti Lik but also in many many more others. Politics has become in Singapore something so simple and easy that Zhuge Liang won’t need to be so accomplished, Li Si won’t need so much substance, and Xiao He won’t need any depth anymore…

With regards to the comments on theonlinecitizen.com and using them to illustrate some points of this topic, firstly… will comrade Teo Ser Luck be the PM? There have been talks about him being given bigger roles and going bigger… Well… As Elfred has already suggested, the MM probably hadn’t anyone in parliament in mind that he perceived capable of becoming the next PM. We have to understand something… MM’d need a highly talented element in politics but must not be able to threaten the position of the Prime Minister, his beloved son. This person must not only be in the 30s, but also is ridiculously good in the understanding of global politics and in handling domestic affairs… and most importantly, to be best acceptable to himself.

Comrade Teo, as comrade Josephine is, is not perceived as somewhere close to ministerial calibre. Put it this way, especially after this crisis, it is obvious to the MM that he will need people of even higher calibre for the much more difficult future his son would be embracing. In spite of his public remark that he trusted the current team, he won’t retire and is very busy taking on the real show. The New Father of Singapore, meanwhile, is sidelining and observing… The Old Father of Singapore probably realized already why the New Father of Singapore could have been eating snakes on the fence, distancing himself from the main lines of fire while keeping taps on almost everything.

Somebody will have to clean up the mess and rebuild everything from scratches again, and only the New Father of Singapore can do that. So he’s in real not in a hurry. And he is definitely not an enemy of the Old Father, since their roles are not really  in conflicts but somewhat complementary. Whoever shalt become the next PM must be able to tackle even more serious crisis than from the Golden Era alongside with a very complex international relations that could wipe out Singapore. MM won’t expect comrade Teo to have such calibre. Whoever shalt become the next PM is also expected to assist the current PM on critical fronts. Comrade Teo’s becoming YP’s chef has seen YP forum being closed down… Doing so is a signal in politics that PAP started something it was not prepared for… or is backing out from. It’s like a slap on (eg) the birth policy if one simply shuts down the baby bonus and throws in the towels. This is a taboo in politics.

So comrade Teo is ’safe’. It’s very unlikely that he can become Prime Minister since he’d need more calibre to handle beyond that of managing YP. If the Prime Minister falls, so would the entire boat. MM doesn’t deal in chances.

As for comrade Tharman, if he were to have any chances at all, the public ’support’ or calls for him to become the first minority PM even in the mainstream media would have undermined his chances… If I am not wrong about the MM, the more there are such calls, the more unsafe comrade Tharman would be. The biggest support would be just to keep quiet. MM is someone who had gone through internal fights, he is alert and… he doesn’t trust people. The more the calls for Tharman to be PM, the likelihood of a rising threat cannot be ruled out. The more powerful is the candidate, the more concern it would be. Which is why I have ruled out this possibility.

The PMO has already publicly declined the possibility of a minority PM. Expectedly so…

The only guy among us to become PM ends up to be BG Yeo… dangling from the attacks after attacks from the oppositions, and his job demands him to be exposed to international partners… Remember Singapore is a cosmopolitan and most importantly, foreign affairs is the real killer. And BG Yeo has been quietly moving here and there away from the main field overseas while progressing among the international traders and administrations, and not to mention of his past affliation with the YPs. But even that… he’d be likely to be the PM of last resort… ie, if anything does happen to PM Lee.

If I am not wrong, MM’s biggest concern about the future PM is… if he is not around, who would be powerful enough to threaten the PM and to attract a possible break up of the boat. Then the other concern is, many simple issues are left to the leaders… those issues either blow up big times or are not settled for a rather long long time… then, the crisis probably gave him a heart attack… Which is, he must be pretty concerned about getting people of political calibre in. When he is not around, the PM needs pillars to move on in a more challenging era, or in their own words: times of gross uncertainty.

When he is still around, situation has come to this… it’s only rational that given his wisdom, he’d probably be concerned about what if he were not to be around anymore? How much more reserve would be at risk?

Before anything, political stablity is still the priority.

So~ The next PM must not only be young but must be good in politics and economics and he himself must be a pillar in such messed-up times, which means a requirement on characters in preparation to take on Durai, Ming Yi and the rots without batting an eye, and to unite Singapore amidst the rise of oppositions.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha… …

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha… …

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha… …

Pardon my laughter, but as explained, it’s easier to make me believe cows can fly than to expect such a person does exist in Singapore.

Basically, the next PM hence should basically basically basically be someone who can lead leaders. Here comes the major problem… In the current environment whereby snobbery is so much more concentrated, such elements would be one in a few millions… and how big is the population of true blue Singaporeans…?

So it is no wonder Elfred is all eyes and ears when the top suggested a new candidate in the coming election would be probably the next Prime Minister. Who will be the next Lee Kuan Yew they might have spotted, or is it just another Prime Minister? If he is anyone lesser… God bless this tiny boat entering a storm…

AWARE: A New YoungPAP Forum.

Singaporedaddy’s plan to boycott YP Forum plus to play with the masters obviously is going nowhere, since there is no YoungPAP forum links from the revamped YoungPAP site, and God knows what relationship he got with comrade Teo Ser Luck. But the old YP forum enters history does make way for the birth of a new YP Forum http://youngpap.50.forumer.com; I have long questioned the need of an official YP Forum when we should have an unofficial one properly managed. It was an havoc over at the forum that whenever (eg) Elfred raised an issue, nothing constructive came, and other than ridiculously stupid ideas and pointless insults and useless fights…

So, the point is now a new YoungPAP forum exists in place of the old’s with an unofficial status by a YoungPAP member for a notorious online public. I rather a forum of serenity of even nobody and common sense than one flooding with nosenses. This is not People Action Party, this is havoc left bo-chaped. And it had been going on for years. And why should the party leaders read nosenses, as if they are any more constructive.

Civil servants, such as the former ones as Redbean… would have flooded the forum with alot of pointless things as well. Do you think they really care about Singaporeans or Singapore? Do you think Mr Tan Kin Lian is really bothered about consumer rights? When he went around slashing other people’s paid policies’ returns rates, when had consumer rights and interests occured to him? Would he compensate us, or even apologise? All these people happen to have very loud voices in Singapore, such as our previous YoungPAP member, Ti Lik… the big dickhead who went around fucking the wife of a client who came for his help.

And he dared to show his face to talk about politics with Elfred some years back… With what, Ti Lik?

And Goh Meng Seng is orbiting Kin Lian, and this Goh Joker… what was he trying to do? Does he know what he is doing in the first place? Not to say about the rest in the forum… Most of those people… are just funny. And MM is correct again to express his concern about the future politicians who would be influencing Singapore. And this is a very important milestone in MM’s human resource management inclination that is well-known to be system-based and publicly known to be highly dilluted in morality concerns. Frankly, I find this encouraging. But it may be too late.

But still, I welcomed this concern of his.

We have to be very pragmatic here, that by now we have already a record slew of scandals which the Prime Minister would have to entertain in one way or another, and this means steady exhaustion of political capital. Nobody in these days seem to be bothered about political capital anymore. But when you need it, it’s no longer there.

Politically speaking, given the case of AWARE, the correct political stance is to just stay back and watch. I mean, for Elfred’s case, he agrees with ‘Where are you when many womens’ foreign husbands and children are denied citizenships’. My wife is a foreigner as well. But I can’t agree with the homo-sexualism part, because I expect my wife to be of the opposite sex so that my coming boy can be produced by a mother. Neither do I find Sally’s remark of ‘Shut up and sit down’ welcoming, and the way they snatched power… I mean, that was a legitimate way, but just as I told someone: Very soon, the other side will do the same thing… and the other side is more established than the new folks. There is no right nor wrong here to take over power like this, but the thinking showed is simply too simplistic for… a bunch of highly educated professionals.

Which is, I have no wonder why Singapore enjoys such economically defenceless situation against a big eye-popping crisis with so many scholars around.

Regarding the coming economic trend… The Prime Minister recently made a remark… that was partly right, because whether it’s to be a L or a U-shaped trend, it’s not depending on ‘…if we are lucky…‘ or not. I have half a mind to let MM see how to have a V-shape in a shorter wait, but decided against it. The pre-requisite is lacking: Calibre. The existing calibre level must be making the MM very worried about the future. As Elfred has long indicated, whichever PM would be succeeding this one… he’d enjoy one of the toughest job in a most ridiculous era, and that’d be impossible to get by without making Elfred a minister. See, it’s actually quite simple.

Abhisit has chosen a path that is not very wise. That incident shows something about him… which is why Elfred is wondering whether he should make another offer to this Prime Minister. The recent assassination attempt of the Yellow faction leader is a good case… just basically think: Who now wants chaos more than anything? Would it be the military who is already gaining upon Abhisit? Or the Thai King who has almost always sit there like a stern silent father? Or… Thak… … And why would an assassinator need to be dressed up as a soldier? If the military wants that fellow dead in such a manner, why don’t just send a small troop in… From what I have observed of the Thai military, they’d just throw bombs in a pack… without the need of help or alliance from the Police.

This is the right way of thinking because, politically speaking, that even if it were to be indeed the military involved in the assassination, it’s unlikely that Abhisit shalt fight with them when Thaksin is still at large. In real, the military now has the upper hand over Abhisit, and Thaksin would have realised that if Abhisit sends in the bullets every round of protest his supporters made, those casualties of his supporters would turn the Thai people against Abhisit in a big way eventually.

Sending in the military hence only serves to create more plans of protests. Thaksin is, after all, a well-connected billionaire.

Which is actually why after Abhisit sent in the troops, it is almost impossible for an Elfredian offer to be made to him. It’s very likely that Abhisit would be going the Samak’s way…  Leaders who love to take the easy path are not designed to last very well.

There is a recent concern about electronic system in Election from SDP. Dr Chee again shows his stupidity in politics… This is Singapore. When I first came to know about Pothepanda’s case, the mention of a couple of people involved struck me immediately that all it took was a loose mouth and the PM would be chewing on another piece of major scandal; and here sank the party. And spot on… that was what happened. In this Dr Chee’s concern, if he were to be right that the party actually would be fixing votes and allowing the oppositions a momentary gain in parliament seatings… he should be very happy instead, from a tactical point of view.

Remember, this is Singapore.

From NKF to AWARE, the people’s rugged response to certain… things is very understandable. I don’t expect any of the PAP leaders would want to themselves technically operate an electronic system to fix elections; Grassroots won’t be reliable for the cheating, nor YP members. So some people must operate… Once a vote-fixing scandal blows up… the minute PAP steps down in such fashion, it’d become a Mahathir style of stepping down where the people will be very reluctant to return him to power. So Dr Chee should encourage the party to resort to an electronic voting system instead, because by the mere presence of this… doubtful method, this will have a very serious impact in governance and politics.

Politically speaking, why do you think the MM haven’t thought of that but resorts to GRC and the idea of 2 votes for grown-ups or such…? Isn’t it very simple just to, you know, fix votes? If that is so simple, politics won’t need hair to be white.

And anyone can be a minister.

Fixing: The Ruin To A Game.

There is a recent event of which I am pretty honored to be invited to attend… but given the nature of the event, I am very sure the objective will fail. The objective is a very… large and important one, and by right, the best brain in Singapore should be invited for the occassion. But just as I suggested to the admin, there are certain things which work only when the situation is right. Which is why whoever is bringing in this event may have to do more thinking in advance.

Who in the right mind will discuss with the MM of how to defeat the oppositions in an open event…? Hahahahahaha… And it’s going to be a mere 2 hours business. But I am most delighted to be invited and to attend because some of the most sensitive people around the world would be present; it’s going to be a good chance to observe their… abilities. They will largely affect what would be happening globally. See?

So of course, no one can expect Elfred to expect much more from the event.

This section is about the infamous ‘Fixings’. A similar rationale is applied here as in how we proceed on with the event above. I have been most reluctant to attend any REACH forum because, as most regulars know… it was after one with our comrade Josephine that soon the MOE kicked me out of teaching. How inauspicious. Which is also why if I were to be a minister, if I were to be going into politics holding the PAP banner, I would only accept a MOE ministerial appointment… from where I got kicked out, of where I’d enter.

Elfred staying away from politics is already very damaging… Billions are lost, the economy shakes harder and harder, and scandals are burning all around the poor Prime Minister, and many things are left dangling there with plenty of smart ideas flooding town… Without the New Father of Singapore, these will go on and on doubtlessly, not to say… I don’t think I will be in time to prepare Singapore for the coming calamity. I told Panter, I don’t mind giving the government five years to prove themselves.

And I was waiting for old YoungPAP forum to walk into history so that I can have a new one. There is no hurry, you see. I am not going to start another YoungPAP forum just to sound most ridiculous when the old one was still around. If anyone has any problem logging into the new YoungPAP forum, just leave a comment here. I am still figuring out the controls.

The point about fixings… in the ancient Chinese political wisdom, at a time when fixings within the dynasties were super ridiculous, is summed up in this:

若民恒且不畏死，奈何以杀惧之也？若民恒且畏死，而为畸者吾将得而杀之，夫孰敢矣？若民恒且必畏死，则恒有司杀者。夫代司杀者杀，是代大匠斫也。夫代大匠斫者，则希不伤其手矣。

Not surprising that I quoted Lao Tsu because I was recently browsing through the book, and well… he spouted many nosenses as well. But the above quote would do the trick. This basically points out a certain thing about fixing in politics: Smartalec.

In control management of the western ideology, fixing is a raw understandable component of management. But in real, very wise leaders don’t usually resort to fixings. Politically speaking, whenever Elfred detects fixings, he knows something is very wrong with the leadership, and such literally draw my attention to examine issues; And it always lead to plenty of many deep embedded concerns. The western management culture in this aspect is a pretty backward one because during 雍正’s (Yong Zheng) era, the emperor himself knew he had to wipe out the 结党营私  (powerful gangs or interest groups which fixed oppositions) within his organisation. Fixing is hence a very raw and dumb management concept because they serve very well in breaking up a healthy organisation eventually. His son carelessly slighted this aspect of management, and the seeds of calamities were sowed during his regime.

In higher order Chinese political management philosophy, ‘fixing’ is a smartalec’s management tool.

Tea Sessions In Recessions: The Coming Contestants.

Ever since the cabinet changes, there have been a lot of speculations in the political appointments including who will be the next Prime Minister and if he or she has already been injected into the parliament. Just as the speculations on MM’s retirement in the previous elections, Elfred is laughing at the current speculations… in both directions. Here’s Redbean’s take: http://mysingaporenews.blogspot.com/2009/04/finding-square-pegs-for-round-holes.html

This coming election is probably one of the most critical but boring elections ever, other than any possible excitations from the oppositions’ performance when the tide is raised to such level in their favor… Why’d I say that? Of course, it’s all political… First and foremost, by right… the party would be on high gear since the pivotal election to be prepared for this crisis, but it went very wrong expectantly so, and I don’t even need to explain anymore. PM Lee, without his wings, has clearly missed the big chance to establish the critically needed legacy for establishing his political influence matching his father’s, and now… he’s obviously coping  to stay afloat among all the slew of scandals and so on. Hence the coming election becomes critical for him… because 1. of the disasterous consequences since the pivotal election, 2. the rising tide for the oppositions, 3. the influx of the rebellious youths… and of course 4. this election is going to be a post-Obama and post-blogger-sensation one.

It’s boring because given the norm and the reality of Singapore’s political talents’ pool, I personally do not expect much deviation from the expected course as explained in the YP Forum. In this political field, on records… political elements are mostly slighted and non-existent. So whatever the outcome in PAP should not be surprising at all.

The Square pegs for the round holes… Hahahahahaha… Redbean does show some humor this time round. The same old soup for the same round bowl. Will they be acceptable to the people as their older counterparts would be really not the issue here, because I don’t expect much deviation from the script and we have already a whole records of what are going on. Or how else can a New Father of Singapore be on the cards? If somehow, deviation does come… the mess stops growing, then how can I have my job? Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

Political Human Resource… can kill… even mighty regimes as China’s.

This coming election will also be the turning point for the oppositions’ fate, because the next election will be taking place in an extremely difficult time. Don’t ask me, I’d never tell. Then what is real ‘ministerial calibre’ will be defined in that point of time. I know what this Redbean has in mind… Hahahahahahahaha… I doubt his option for Singaporeans will be any better.

This election’s main role is to seal PM’s political path ahead; a determination of what are to come and what to go into history. That given the domestic and global outlook, the best thing for Elfred now is to just sit back and idle.

I don’t see DPM Teo’s point about the 4th team being developed in the coming election basically because apparently in this crisis, MM’s heart has gotten attacked… and I don’t expect MM Lee to really think he’s going to leave his son in such a… situation… plus plenty of scandals generated. And obviously, I don’t think either Mr Teo or Mr Tharman could be the future PM as rumors are rife about. I may be too blunt but… basic political sense must be upheld. Melvin Tan’s analysis about the cabinet change may be laughable, but at least he got one thing right… Mr Teo is too old for the PM position unless somehow PM Lee retires in the election after the next. By the time PM Lee becomes the Senior Minister, he’d be around 65~70yo… This is given the earliest calculation. Given that, the next PM… as I have mentioned in the past, would be about 30~40yo currently. Both Mr Teo and Mr Tharman don’t fall into this range. The most likely figure for the next PM… if you must know and he must exist now against all know concerns, would be Mr George Yeo.

He’s the most likely successor so far; ie. if he can survive the coming onslaughts from the oppositions.

And the rumors about Mdm Ho Ching entering politics is most ridiculous…

May I ask… where in the cabinet will Mdm Ho be? Are we going to create a new title for her? It’s ridiculous to assume that the first lady to be positioned as a junior minister after a senior position in Temasek or a senior political position being a rookie in the cabinet, and of course, not to say many people in or outside the party will scream. MM’s own perception of the parliament with a global aspect implies a very low chance of Mdm Ho becoming a junior minister from a First Lady, unless she is that keen to be in politics. There is also a conflict of interest in the normal workings among the ministries to report to the PM… her husband. Why would the PM make things so complicated when it also won’t appeal to the public?

So it’s really too early to say who will be the next PM and pretty outraging to accuse Mdm Ho wanting to enter politics. Remember Jiang Qing, the last wife of Mao? As for Redbean’s perception of what a PAP candidate would be in this system… It may have been far-fetched. After all, politics is like a flow of water… how can things never be changed? If everything goes by records, Singapore would have thrived in this crisis as when it became one of the four tigers while the world slacked in Cold War; and if everything goes by records… then the next PM would be another Mr Goh. Argh~ Myth… Mr Shanmugan’s stunning appointment doesn’t seem to have shattered the mythical PAP appointments cateria…

You can’t blame Singaporeans’ 10-years-series mentality…

But if people were to ask me, I myself don’t see much change this round either. This has been discussed before.

Notice Not The Tea Session.

Notice not the tea session, notice not the candidates, but focus on how those candidates got into the tea sessions. The quality of the candidates as how would be decided by the cadres would not be the same as how most people and even Elfred would probably prefered… in the understanding for this political field.

The other thing people have to note is that every Prime Minister would prefer to stay in power, and hence about how they will choose candidates for appointments. Hence, as I have mentioned, what leader gets what leaders; and what leaders determine what sorts of politics and the future of Singapore.

It doesn’t really lessen your chance if you express interest in politics than if the PM perceives that you are useless. The basic requirement in this system or any system is in real how much you are needed, or in real… how good is the PM in determining if you are needed. Simple.

It’s something of two directions.

All across histories, these happened. A lousy leader surrounds himself with craps, and most drowned with those craps.  Wise leaders… even Liu Bei was no wise leader. He looked at Pang Tong, and dismissed him as a joke. How good could he be? The point about tea sessions is that people cannot take them too seriously. Because the main issue about tea sessions is that you notice many may not be in PAP. And if you are smart, you’d poke into from where are those elements introduced to take those teas. This is the critical part of the game.

Why?

Because that shows what are influencing the party most. Because it is those influences one must examine and handle in Singapore. It’s the same as with titles or positions, the most important thing is to know who has the real power. Because only from there can you factor things in. Melvin Tan’s analysis is considered crappy because many things are illogical. And of course, Redbean is still pondering based on his understanding of the system. But one have to look at things from PM and MM’s viewpoint. With the council in MM’s hand, and the Prime Minister’s office in PM’s hand… those are where you focus on. Because they are the system, they are the change. You have to know what they are thinking, what their characters are, and what situations they are most sensitive to…

Records are pretty useless, facts are also quite useless… Because the future is always about wisdom.

Ultimately speaking, always remember that in politics inertia is very strong. The only thing that can break such inertia happens on the pivotal points. Other things are not really important.

If you find that strange, that’s because it’s time to use your brain.

There are two main categories of political leaders… One is to rot into history, one is to be the savior of mankind. Usually when you are rotting into history, it’s very unlikely to be the savior of mankind. Which is why entering politics… you can’t be less choosy of the timing, and the people you would be associated with.

The best elements don’t go after tea sessions, but situations.

Actually, this is by right one of my favorite subjects, but… it’s not appropriate to go further now.

When What You Think Is Not As Important.

After I read http://wayangparty.com/?p=7254 titled ‘SHOCKING: IP addresses of internet trolls traced to various government agencies and stat boards!!!‘ I laughed and laughed because that was what we are supposed to do. Notice WayangParty actually filed that as ‘Daily Musings’. Elfred can’t be bothered whether they are really mused or they are trying to be amuse but it is true… As Elfred has made it very clear long long back then, the government can track you down if it chooses to. And no… It’s not always at PMO’s awareness.

Pothepanda’s exploding revelation is probably beyond MM’s awareness at the beginning. But I have to inform him, nonetheless. Remember when this Mr Brown got kicked and such… Actually, one of my jobs is to traced busybodies online, of whom may be getting too carried away exercising their rights on others. And on my list includes shockingly a lot of people… down to the ISPs. But it is not always definitely ‘PAP‘ or even political motives behind trollings. For instance, Elfred is also a party member but I have never disturbed the blogosphere instead of being disturbed by silly Fireice and such online gods.

Various government agencies down to even REACH are not innocent in this game, sorry to say that. And the more I traced, the more I laughed. Actually, the more I traced, the more I know a scandal is brewing. And some… agencies are commercially linked and motivated in this online political enthusiasm. Taking the reading of IPs from  ’SPH’ by Wayangparty as example, it  may not be necessarily that the entire SPH are trolls. See? I doubt Mr Tony Tan would resort to such petty yet despicable move. It’s some sort of online ethic thing.

The point is very simple, and I have made it very clear to the MM that I do not support such ‘damage control’ because it only creates more damages… and Wayangparty is doing the illustration here. While the PM might not be aware, because even if he is approved of such things… it’d probably be needing a few days, but the reaction of this ‘damage control’ is only a few hours… that the people will hold him responsible nonetheless. And again, you can imagine his face turning blue green yellow purple because Mr Lee Hsien Loong, our sec-gen… he clearly understands the new generations are suckers to internet. This whatever shocking or bemusing happening would have to be most likely the moves of various indian chiefs… as one senior YP ever put it.

To the rebellious generations who are suffering from such… great governance, what would the top think? I mean, if your managers you paid handsomely for are going around killing your customers… are you going to celebrate? Even if the PM is aware, but when it comes to taking responsibilities for such damage control at such critical time… give me a common sensical answer. But this has gone on for a long time. And various happenings are not based purely on politics but… somehow commercial. I know this all along…

This only makes life harder for the PM. And I doubt MM would be behind this… He’s aging, but not stupid.

But somebody would have to do the stupid job, or how could there be a mess? These people don’t understand politics… And from those comments Pothpanda gets, one is not hard to tell. Because even NS records were used in the discrediting ’attack’; and tell me, who in the fuck would bother about those NS records? Take out MM’s memoir… he served under who? So, MM should not have been involved, even if ISD is involved. Pure naive…

But such thinking is also why I have no intention for my son to serve NS. I know NS too well. Skunks are held as hero, entering the society as high-flyers, and Singapore sinks… without even needing higher IQ to anticipate. DPM Teo may like to improve SAF before more scandals explode in the face of the party.

With this, it saves my time explaining why I don’t support such damage control…

On such damaging records… actually more would be coming along the way for the PM until he is tired of the need to confront the coming slew of scandals. Again you can imagine MM’s face turning purple blue green as he tries to grab his White uniform… What is Singapore and the party going to appear to investors, to the busybody plus connected NGOs out there and to the future electorate?

I was pretty disturbed by Pothepanda’s case because I was in the party but… come to think of it after a minute… I have always declared myself a fence-sitter, and a known neutral cum vocal element amidst these political happenings. My political positioning had been designed absolutely in the past to the need of this future. This will have no bearings on Elfred. Despite no one listens since they are all very smart, he has never expected people to listen. And sotongs such as Panter92 can’t blame Elfred… for doing nothing.

Perfect.

However, Wayangparty could be more adventurous… The beauty of cyberspace is that you can litter the entire world with junks, fables, and jokes… for all those who love to waste time tracing and hold a piece of junk as one of the commandments. I mean, if those Malaysian experts had done so in the international court with a blog, why not Singapore? Then we can see MM’s face goes purple green blue yellow…  He spent almost his entire life, under curses and death threats and through all those bloody riots and demostrations and Micheal Fay just to see Singapore becoming… a joke?

That’s how political leaders think… Because to Mr Lee, politics is the basis of everything. Without a solid political base, what economic big planning craps can’t hold water in a laughable bag of holes everywhere. That at least was his basis of approach. While initially, the old man might be blaming the young  New Father of Singapore for being so… critical but… as Elfred has pointed out long long ago, he’s not the one who will drive the holes into the gold pouch.

If anyone tells me that’s how you’d stabilise politics by antagonishing the entire cyberspace… which almost equates to planting a time bomb on your own vote-caches in the future when all those kids grow up sucking from internet, I’d laugh. Here you are having a big time promoting via a weakening traditional media, and there you are exposed again and again. It’s about the same as the Japanese printing banana monies which couldn’t be used, why print?

If anyone thinks I am cheering? I am not. Because in real there is nothing to cheer about suffering. Historians have to understand that the current situation is about suffering. The PM is also suffering, in a political sense. Tell me which political master pays good money to draw in great talents to explode scandals after scandals in his face and whack all his potential customers…? Which PM doesn’t hope he can secure 90% victory after so much works and efforts instead of a 58%? Which PM doesn’t want to avoid a crisis when the world just can’t get enough of it? The point is this… these are all expected to happen, and there is nothing to be cheering about because being right… is being aware that there is a big mess to clean up.

Given the frequency and growing magnitude of the scandals… The point is, it is politically correct to be sitting on the fence for a while. Does anyone know what statutory boards and all those imply?

Scholars.

Before Elfred the big fart becomes a minister, those scholars will have to prove themselves. MM just loves scholars. The New Father of Singapore only knows: Black or white, can catch mouse is Michael Jackson. Old Chinese grandfather story is that Singapore exists not on the back of pumping monies into superstitions. Because of one Percival… many things happened. And why did the Queen even make him a commander?

Because it was only human.

If so, tiny Singapore was destined to fall.

Actually, there is nothing really to be shocked about. But how to handle this ’shock’ is rather tricky. Why not send in more stats board people to comment at Wayangparty?  Actually, even mobile phones are tracing devices. Mobile phones can be configured to spy on you even if you switch them off. I usually took out my battery or leave the mobile phone at home when I have something to do overseas. Or simply, keep your phone in a steel box.

It’s pretty fun to be traced, come to think of it… when you can’t even trust your own wife and your good friend. Hahahahahahahahaha…

Politics In New Era: Importance.

Also relevant in this case is a pretty small yet significant political crap that was one of the ways that helps Elfred to predict so many nosenses. Have you noticed their points made in the attempts to discredit the blogger? Smart… You get to know what those people are focusing when the world otherwise isn’t. And one of the points is Pothepanda’s NS records, this point is apparent in the blogger’s narration of the event and those comments made to discredit him… apparently in vain.

This is subtle but politically significant because there was a very important political lesson based on related issues and it was in China. Which means, Elfred doesn’t see it well as something that should happen in Singapore especially when MM Lee is calling for the people to improve their Chinese to engage their counterparts in China.

The story began when Chu King（楚霸王项羽） banished Liu Bang （刘邦） into Shu（蜀）; Liu Bang’s wife （吕雉） was a very ambitious woman and unlike the useless Liu Bang, she knew that if they continued to stay in Shu, Chu King’s advisor （范增）would eventually persuade the King to eliminate them. And indeed, Liu Bang’s men were deserting already. Among the deserters was Han Xin （韩信）. Who was Han Xin? He was the moral of this pretty small yet significant political crap. Han Xin was going to AWOL or deserting Liu Bang’s army when Liu Bang’s aide Xiao He （萧何） specifically chased him back to see Liu Bang.

Han Xin was not only a deserter of national service, he was also one who kneeled and crawled between the legs of five bullies, an act which was considered deeply humiliating in that era. It was also a historical event used by elementary schools to learn about greatness.

This story is a basic political education because it engulfs among all that rulers must overcome snobbery. The point made to discredit the blogger made this basic critical error. And it just reveals certain things about… certain people’s thinking in the modern world, which is discouraged by our experienced ancestors.

Han Xin, of course, was the military genius whose name stays in history as a heroic figure. What is important in the view of snobs may not be important at all in politics.

There was this issue at YP forum recently with Beggarcrap’s usual nosenses, here goes what he said and it goes into Singapore’s history:

BEGGAR LAUGH HAHAHAHAAAAAAA……….

U GRADUATE, BUT LIFE NOT BETTER THAN BEGGAR. WHY STUDY SO MANY BOOKS. WASTE SO MANY MONEY AND TIME.

YOUR DEGREE IF NOT USE. FEW YEAR LATER, WHEN U BECOME 40 , IT BECOME WASTE PAPER.

SELL YOUR WHAT DEGREE TO BEGGAR BETTER.

EAT FATHER

SLEEP FATHER

WEAR FATHER

DRIVE FATHER VAN

AND

NOW NEED WHAT MM TO

KICK U OUT OF SG.

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA………

OWNSELF NO LEGS TO RUN ROAD.

HAHAHAHA………….

IF U MAKE BEGGAR LAUGH AGAIN AND BEGGAR BLUFF TEETH DROP AND SPOIL, U MUST PAY FOR THE BLUFF TEETH.

Beggarcrap and many the likes of him in the forum are just small people. It shouldn’t surprise historians of why Singapore is getting hit so hard with such serious human resource allocation problem. This sort of trashes eat society, sleep society, wear society, drive society into crisis and now… need Elfred to kick him hard to look into the mirror. His ownself have no brains to run a common logic, hence he only got nosenses. In this era, such stupid smartalecs are flooding Singapore, and historians must absolutely take note that… at this point, the internet connection got a problem…

Where was I… …?

In any case, Elfred can’t be bothered about such idiots… Know why? Because I ain’t got the interest to get involved with whomever listens to such idiots. I mean, who in the right mind thinks like this and listen to them? And it’s like a termite attack on a house that before they make the house collapses, you have to get out. These people are pests of the society, totally useless and they are now able to proudly showcase their thinking deficiency shamelessly as those farmers who had ridiculed Confucius and entered our history books as idiots… if not for the emerging dark era, what else?

达巷党人曰：“大哉，孔子！博学而无所成名。”
子闻之，谓门弟子曰：“吾何执？执御乎？执射乎？吾执御矣。”

I have never seen a joker who doesn’t like jokes… I have never seen a failed dynasty without idiots. While Elfredian Enclave shalt become one of the most respectable political literature for the future of Singapore… I hope the future people appreciate what their forefather (me) has left them because… this is one piece of treasure that comes not easily. It is not just those jokers that we have to entertain everyday and in every corner in Singapore… Migration is a definite necessity, doubtlessly so.

子曰：其身正，不令而行；其身不正，虽令不从。

The best damage control is don’t even control, when especially you are ignorant or inapt. It doesn’t mean to lose control. Basically we can understand how difficult the current situation is; and how easy actually it was to ‘predict’ and assign moves 20years back… when nobody would have understood what would have happened. I was barely 11yo moving to 14yo…

I gave this island many chances… I tried so hard to settle in Singapore. That’s the importance. And after all these… just disappointments. I have to constantly also entertain rubbish in this… 100% educated society. But it seems that I have no choice but to clean up this bloody mess… after MM departs. Because if I don’t clean this up, one can imagine the chaos and occupation by the sharks. It’d be very a miserable era for those ignorant dwellers of this well… a big contrast historically speaking as compared to the propaganda of the 80s. It’s probably also when the termites have made the house collapses… with Elfred in it, that he can proceed on to rebuild this state into a nation.

The history you are looking at… doesn’t come easy.

The most important thing in this dark era is to understand that there is no coincidence that Singapore can survive. Look at the layers of scoundrels we have on hands to get through to the wheel. Look at the rage of those dying, and those suffering, and those forced to bring out their weapons and rob the banks… There was this news… an uncle who robbed with his pistol… a weapon he hid for many years, and re-commissioned after so many years. Everyone is waiting for the New Father of Singapore…

But everyone is not ready for him yet.

There are certain things in politics and governance which are critical, and must happen because it must be led into. These are all called ‘triggers’. Which is why I hope the MM can stop pulling all those triggers with his influence because not only they won’t help situation, but it will make my life harder when I have to clean up more mess in a human’s lifetime. There are only so much time for a person to do so much…

Everything else is not important.

No matter, by now… I already have a secured position in history.

For every Confucius, there must be some shameless farmers and evil overlords… See? Finding job or doing business in Singapore is not viable… considering the kind of environment in the current dark dark era. My curiousity is how big is the appetite for the PM to contain the coming scandals, and being stucked in reinforced fashion. Because all these shall go into history, and it all starts from that pivotal election…

What is important to him?

The Biggest Mistake In Singapore: Hope.

We have this article http://theonlinecitizen.com/2009/04/the-short-hopeful-life-of-odud-sayed-ahammed/#comments at TOC, the last line is: Nothing to show for a man, whose biggest mistake, was to hope.

In my experience in Singaore so far, it strikes a cord here. I consider the situation here pretty hopeless, and for those who are hoping for a change but go and die like a Mr Allan, it doesn’t matter if you are a scholar… you are just too foolish doing so. Your life isn’t worth a penny to effect any change. Does anyone know how many deaths we have in SAF? I was an admin support… the documents of people dying and sent to IMH and other nosenses were shredded… and it took me the entire noon because those bloody files were so thick and dusty, and I was and am not happy with dust.

I wasn’t an official member with PAP back then. But I was thinking what Mr Goh Keng Swee could be thinking when he started conscription. I apparently have a curious mind. It was already more than 10 years, and after a few years, Mr Allan’s records will also be shredded by another admin support… as if he never existed. I can’t reveal what are the contents nor alot of things happening in SAF, since SAF won’t even know I would become Elfred back then. So I keep two little journals…

It’s apparent that you can’t change everything with HOPE. I have hope, I mean I had hope but… luckily I neither trust luck nor hope, otherwise, I’d be jumping into the MRT alongside with another Tan. Let me share with this SingaporeDaddy who has just commented in this column:

子曰：勇于敢者则杀，勇于不敢者则活，此两者或利或害。天之所恶，孰知其故？

According to Singaporedaddy, he sounds big enough to challenge the ‘Masters’. And he also wants to play with me. And he wants a challenge obviously without the energy to read properly. Is it as he said, a game I am playing with the public for the Masters? This loose-screw obviously doesn’t understand PAP or the New Father of Singapore. I am very much aware of online issues and those critters… Just as Singaporedaddy’s attitude in response, I am not interested in moves to extract retailiations which go nowhere.

I am a really learned person, not just a grade A simpleton. Got it?

I may be in the system, but I am not stupid to be arrogant and that brave. I am aware of Hong Lim Park being ’surveyed’ whenever there are major protests over there. And I am aware of whom those officers eventually reported to. Change doesn’t come by throwing the eggs against stubborn rocks. I started learning politics and governance from very very young, reading experts’ literature on the principles of laws before my peers like Yaw even understood what is a Junta, and its implications. You can’t change anything by being brave to… die. You must wait, you must be able to read the ‘future’.

子曰：善用兵者，役不再籍，两不三载；取用于国，因粮于敌，故军食可足也。
亦曰：上兵伐谋，其次伐交，其次伐兵，其下攻城。攻城之法，为不得已。

People have to understand why certain things are being done. And why I see most, if not all, those online critters are just nosenses… They are totally useless to make Singapore a better world. Many of those people are mere peasants… In Chinese: 穷兵黩武焉得其善。So many thought, like farmers… that you must do this do that in politics, and some blamed WP for staying and being quiet. Yes… WP doesn’t have ministerial calibre people, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make more informed noises than those hordes out there. I have seen Low before during Mutalib’s NUS event… he was capable of making noises in the panel. I only need that one sight to know what Low is made of.

Change won’t come by fighting blindly, or going to die anyohow. If Han Xin went to kill himself because of poverty or Lee Kuan Yew went to committ suicide because he couldn’t fight the Japanese… history will not be the same. Even MM himself knew and confessed that the best way was not to fight the (declining) colonial master because you’d only got retailiation. Wise man… which was why Singapore was in its best in the 80s under him, where his legacy allows him huge influence in Singapore. PM will need a pair of wings to reach that sort of powerful influence, to first fly out of these layers of problems he’s stucked with.

No Change comes with Hope, especially in an island now flooded with immoral scoundrels. And it cannot just come with protests anyohow. Neither am I interested to advocate a war between the party and the people. Politics and governance is a branch that requires depth. The reason why I am more inclined to lead a suffering life as that idiotic Beggarcrap insulted a YP, is only because the reality of this whole period. You expect me to join those shameless scoundrels? Neither would I, hence be interested to be in the parliament the last round. It’s not magic Elfred knows… You must have the real calibre in this field, because not every bottle of candies is right for your hands to grab.

Not everything you can just fight with.

Singaporedaddy, as our dear Nair is inclined, wants to play with the Masters. MM loves this game, of how I know about him. And you dare to challenge him for a game, you’d have to prepare for the worst. No respectable player plays like a loose screw, and if you are a loose screw, the old iron fist comes pretty loose on you as well. Besides, in the PAP… I have to remind everyone, it’s still a fair and equal society. It doesn’t matter what has reality become.

Fighting doesn’t yield anything. You looked at 闯王、太平天国 and 梁山泊… it is very easy to succumb to greed for luxuries, and easier paths… and eventually be gone.  If you die, you only change a piece of land the size of your body… a land few living would even bother most of the time. If you stay alive, you may suffer… but it is not hope for a change, it is you who want a change. Even this PM wants a change. And the basis of his change would be the viability of PAP as a functioning concern. Without a living body, how to change and experience change?

But then and again, the reality of why Elfred prefers to sit on the fence is mainly because he knows that some smartalecs will move. Why do you need to do the dirty job when there are a whole bunch of stubborn smart people who will never listen to you and crush with the government? Without the dark skies, the stars ain’t visible. Since I have no intention to be the dark force, I’d be one of the stars… hiding among the rest, and become the sun when Earth comes close enough.

Often, the loudest voice is also the most useless voice because it’s just too deafening. Elfred has been very vocal all these years… Quite loud, quite sharp, but that’s it. It doesn’t mean it comes with no risk, because there will always be scambags around but… in politics, if you don’t even have a voice… why are you even there?

It’s getting very obvious that Elfred is the only person who can clean up the whole bloody mess. It’s not a Hope, it has to be. I don’t see hope in Singapore, I only see the need for a rescue mission. Why can’t MM Lee just relocate Elfred elsewhere for the mess to mature… It’d be a wonderful move, historically speaking. It’s the right thing to do…

It’s only a matter of time now that the termites chew off the last pillar…

With no disrespect to those in Singapore who have died… Only the living can vote for a future, for your decendents, and for change. And only the living can stay within or without the system. Times are getting very difficult… but if we have not come to this point, how can change be round the corner? How can there be even 50% that Elfred becomes a minister? How can there be a New Father of Singapore?

It is at the height of miseries that men shalt awake, before they doze off eventually again in another ivory tower…

A Joker: Singaporedaddy.

There is this Singaporedaddy who came commenting in this article… I’d show you what he has.

Well Elfred, Tell Teo ser luck bc of what you did, we are going to boycott YP – its nothing personal – you seem to treat it like a running joke and I think we have a right to do the same – only I dont think many of us will treat it as a joke Elfred.

SD (Internet Liaison officer of the brotherhood)

I mean, what am I to tell MP Teo Ser Luck of this… Internet Liaison Officer Of The Brotherhood who wishes to play with my masters. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha…

I am so fed up of Singapore… But everyday, I have to entertain such idiocracy… What did I do? Hahahahahahahaha…

What do you expect me to reply about this threat of boycott YP? As I nicely told Singaporedaddy… Hahahahahahahahahaha…

Laugh until my stomache… Singapore.

Now you know why I wasn’t really interested to be a minister for this rescue mission…? Does Singapore deserve a top grade officer to take care of them? Tell me.

These people are clearly troublemakers. So what you boycott YP? Or does he expect Teo Ser Luck to sayang him so that he can play with the masters? Hahahahahahahahahahaha…

Ridiculous.

I seriously don’t know what I did, but no matter what I did, I kinda prevent some troublemakers from YP.
