At http://www.p65.sg/, Pin Min has an article ‘Many Helping Hands’, and there were some issues raised at the comments. Elfred normally can’t be bothered about online articles especially at the P65ers blog, but when it comes to ‘Help’, my personal experiences flash back quickly. And it’s very agitating a topic.

We have people coming to MPS who subsequently committed suicide, threatened and attacked MPs and a whole slew of issues arising. That guy who jumped MRT tracks should have never jumped. He visited MPS times and again and why did he need to jump to such horrendous death? I know the reality of MPS and various ‘help’ segments better than most… It’s a complete fiasco. Basically, nobody really care in general, hence how helpful can it be?

Ironically, as more and more violence are raised against MPs, ‘Help‘ is a very important political element and the most basic of government functions, and it’s not some cheap slogan based on poor assumptions. The very element does not only appeal to domestic politics but also it runs into the rudiments of Singapore’s survival, because starting on a pile of barren rocks with only a wealth of few millions stashed away, we needed help in setting up military and economy and so on. I suppose for one Isreali help Singapore obtained, it must have gone through many rejections or mockeries from others, hence to have understood that. But over the years, it ends up that the party have seemingly lost the understanding of this concept of ’Help’.

Is it because Singapore has become too successful and caveat emptor crawls in?

Even TT Durai claimed he was a big help. I personally have come across plenty of  scoundrels who are no less helpful than Durai and his army of simpletons. And regretfully speaking, just as Chan Soo Sen was associated with them perhaps ignorantly so, many of those scoundrels have little links to the party. The damage could only get bigger and bigger. And after MM departs and the mamouth hunt begins, this will become one of the political capital caches oppositions got against the incumbent. The adverse effect on the public is ridiculously huge.

And many, as Durai did, have spreaded their influences through the media… by utilising the traditional media and the new media to suppress their own oppositions while promoting themselves shamelessly in alliance to their likes. Which is also part of the reasons why there are attacks on Elfred and heavy but unreasonable supports elsewhere seeking to influence the various government joints. And the PM is stucked. Or more precisely, Singapore is stucked.

The basic problem about ‘Many Helping Hands’ is… now how many really want to count on Durai’s helping hands? It’s a major fiasco because, again… it’s Human Resource Management. And in this, it’s political human resource management. And obviously, you can expect other Durais are coming into politics through channels where political HRM is weak; yet, what do the respective parties expect from them?

All those parasites don’t really contribute to this crisis nor this state nor anything else while enriching themselves shamelessly, and it was really saddening when the parliament defended for Durai and Mr Tan had to jumped MRT tracks and got smashed in worse ways as the Merlion was recently got smashed by a stroke of thunder.

How can they help when they are shameless and useless in real, which is hence they can’t really be bothered.

When I chanced upon Pin Min’s article… I was laughing at the word Many in this ‘Many Helping Hands’. There are many greedy, shameless, despicable and useless hands I know of, including a very big glaring self-proclaimed White Knight and many fuckers in the private education sector. I have never seen one real sincere helping hand in the face of caveat emptor. Just look at those poor Lehman losers at the Hong Lim Park, Ti Lik suggested that if Kin Lian were to call for his help, he’d offer legal assistance. Who are these two people? One is a fucker who fucked someone’s wife who came for his help… Of course, Kin Lian’s wife would be pretty old already, so that’s not the problem. And the other who was leading the course whereby investors were being misled into high risk products by the scheming banks’ tactics over the years under the nose of Singapore’s quanlity government, that he himself went slashing at other consumers’ returns for about the same reasons when he was in power. And the latter was trying to defend for his past deeds… there was not even anything that hinted he’d confess it was wrong of what he did. Both are originated from the PAP…

I am also from PAP.

They are all trying to help. And that includes the infamous Dr Chee who have led SDP followers into major disaster after disaster, and he has not a single word of sorry for Chiam See Tong, whereby the latter has only recently suggested of good catches in lawyers and accountants… Has he learned?

Political circle in Singapore is not exceptionally big. I knew of Kin Lian, and even Durai, from Minister Khaw himself. I knew he was a senior comrade. And MM by now would have known why Elfred is finding a good reason to kick himself out of PAP; with Minister Ng’s blessing, I’d be able to fade off from PAP soon. In politics, it’s in chinese: 名正言顺，光明正大. Within any organisation… if the ’standard’ culture is of flooding of certain elements and you are not the same, it’s best that you withdraw asap. This is also a part of political HRM.

I have seen a whole list of ‘helpers’ flooding around the party as I look at both the old Father of Singapore and the Prime Minister… that is, when the people are boiling even as we speak. During Durai’s help, my uncle had rotten in his home and his corpse made news. Singaporeans don’t really understand what they are into. I don’t join PAP just to see all these helplessly as well. Which is why when PM’s response to the more and more popular demand that there should be multi-parties system, Elfred supported his intention to change but… I have already discussed this issue many times.

Such weird hands are not only the monopoly of the party, because it’s a shockingly wide-spread issue within such a compact and supposedly well-run state under wonderful talents. I don’t think comrade Soo Sen will be the last to have association with rogues in the private education sector because I am also noticing something in SPRING. But all these are PM’s issues after MM departs. Unless you migrate and ditch this cursed island once and for all, you will have to do something about it. It’s not the case that other lands have no such issues, but we are not the spacious other lands with a huge market. Even our leaders are paid not the same.

Taking the infamous example of Durai… this guy is corrupted. Corruption is in politics a very interesting term, and it is not just about taking bribes. Just like a stone making a moral high ground, the foundation can be corrupted especially with waves of high figures and years of success. If the PM must change, he doesn’t really have much time.

If the people are crying help, they can jump as Mr Tan did… but can the state be allowed to just jump?

It’s very commendable that this PM was willing to climb that high to rescue people stucked in the air during a cable car incident. But why didn’t we just let those people climbed the wires back to the station themselves? After all, what is proper help? We could just make them climb back themselves, wasn’t it? They have the limbs and such, and all we need is to teach them how to fish… It’s no insult, it’s just pointing out the obvious that has happened for many years.

The Good Samaritan Offering Drawings Of Cheese.

A few years ago, I had a chance to try our own ‘help‘ mechanism. And this shalt go down in the records of PMO. Actually the issue was very simple, and there had been plenty of promises by the Prime Minister to the public at that time. It brought me direct contacts with WDA, CDC, and the various government portals. The moment when PMO received a distress call from a party member, it should have firstly understood that it was sent there and not elsewhere for a reason. It’s a chance to perform and be complimented. It’s the same as this anticipated crisis, it’s a big chance for the wise government to show its ability to have reformed the economy in preparation and to avoid all the costly mistakes, and to prove to the world such as Denmark and such lands the MM suggested were inferior governments to ours that Singapore would stand strong when other lands are failing instead of waiting for the crisis to pass by. People don’t pay millions just to wait for the crisis to reach recovery itself…

The ironical part of this home loan crisis is our home purchases of flats are being left to the banks and many repossessions occured under the proud 居者有其屋 when our local banks are found to be stucked heavily in this crisis when they have thrown in so much money to participate in financing loans for foreigners’ to buy homes on a large scale. Very helpful indeed when many Singaporeans are looking at the ridiculously high prices of flats to own one and many are repossessed. And my dear comrade Mr Mah made an historical speech in the parliament regarding this…

If I do not recall wrongly, the government actually was monitoring… as this crisis was approaching heavily related to housing in loans. What were they really looking at? And since the government had already passed the baton to the banks, it’s no longer the government’s problem with such issues related to Singaporeans. It’s almost the same sort of reply from my other comrades in parliament when it comes to ‘registered with MOE’ and private education sector’s rogues.

No wonder MM had a heart attack after claiming ‘…his business is in the happiness of his people…’ dog years back when the whole mess surfaced in such grandiose fashion. It’s not that helpful Elfred had not sounded the alarm all those while, as that silly Panter who did nothing tried to point the finger at me. Small people~ Other than office politics, what the fuck can they do?

And it so happened that a comrade was not prepared when he was attacked the second time.

“If you don’t save a life, you don’t save more…”

Why don’t people think Elfred is bothered about the rise of internet politics…? As explained, in the context of Singapore, a whole lot of noises is useless online or offline. How big is Singapore? Once you have a hot rumor, it spreads quickly in the entire city. In real, online pressence is merely a complement to the actual action. It is a chicken and egg issue in the context of Singapore. The most important thing is: 能人所不能. My ability in this field is backed not on noises or ignorant popularism and baseless thoughts but solid step by step training over many years. Singapore doesn’t survive on noises and ignorant popularism and baseless thoughts…

And help can’t be based on ‘Many’ or credentials. Basically, you need to base it on wisdom, as all political decisions would. And this cultural desert doesn’t hold much of such water. Sands do not come together… Without the moisture of culture, it’s always blind depriving competitions. I have known the sort of thinking prevailing in Singapore… and the only word to describe it is: Crappy.

No matter what I suggested there will be idiots trying to argue even to the point of stupidity in Singapore. There is a good chance of good discussion overseas but not with fellow Singaporeans. And I wonder why… If simple things cannot be properly handled, what about the rest? And how to help when every idiot is trying to play smart? I don’t see any future for such a tiny dot, and I don’t think the dot understand that beyond this crisis is a series of bigger crisis. I don’t mind offending people, because they have offended the future… our future.

Nobody ever care, and the period of ’success’ only helped made things worse when it was the golden chance to create a much better world. How can anyone make a difference by “It’s not my problem…”? As I have pointed out bluntly in Chiam See Tong’s stressing on good catches… political HRM can kill. It’s a whole big mess readily anticipated, and I am watching it coming.

You can label every hand as helping hand while these hands are busy helping themselves to the loots in the state. Unless the Prime Minister successfully reforms Singapore, given such a small state, it is hardly possible to go down history any better. We are not really rich because philosophically speaking, there is a very very huge misallocation of resources shockingly on such a small pile of barren rocks. How can Singapore be considered rich when wealth is so critically misplaced? I am not talking about those billions of investments into those loads of shits, I am talking about the bread and butter issues of Singaporeans. The person who can really talk about bread and butter issues is the person who really knows the bread and the butter. The government must cease to absorb ignorant useless rots, be pragmatic and seriously be meritocratic.

We cannot even have a fair and equal society when we have rogues running loose, becoming powerful and in charge and ruining the lives of the people yet shamelessly promoting themselves and denouncing those they bullied; we must maintain the party standard of the White and remain uncorrupted and serve in the same honorable spirit that started the Meet The People Session. We cannot meet the people with an ugly hand which can do little but let the army of rotting rogues strangle our people and mislead the people into thinking that PAP is just a bunch of incompetent uncaring elitist assholes. Fair and equal society is the core of PAP.

Let not the people of Singapore think that our leaders are associated or holders of Preston degrees, lying through golden taps, hurting public’s interests mis-selling or cheating and pretending that Buddha is a CEO. PAP is not a joke. Singapore is not a circus, Singaporeans should not be clowns, and our helping hands should be warm and solid.

And to have this… We must have reforms.

This Prime Minister must determine the future of Singapore lies not on the slew of coming scandals, but on integrity and a uniform of white. We don’t need ‘Many Helping Hands’, Pin Min. We only need one solid hand that really helps; just as Singapore doesn’t need two or more parties. If one party is good, why do we need so many parties?
