<p>As usual, the PAP Government decides to punish Singaporeans, more than foreigners for what is essentially a problem caused by their massive influx.</p>
<p>Housing like transport food and medical services are basic essentials.</p>
<p>In a limited resource situation, prices will rise when demand, caused by the massive influx of foreigners, rises.</p>
<p>Curbing the demand by the foreigners will mitigate the situation. They can curb the foreigners or they can punish Singaporeans.</p>
<p>So what does the P(f)AP government do to curb the price rises?</p>
<p>As expected. As usual. Singaporeans bear the brunt. They are the People (foreigners) Action Party</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This year 45th Independence Day celebration is almost hysterical. </p>
<p>Weeks before Independence Day, the state-controlled media, TV, radio and newspapers, have been saturated with images and symbols of nationalism replete with patriotic songs and an unabashed orgy of self-congratulation messages on how strongly we rebounded from the ominous global recession and how fortunate we are to host the maiden Youth Olympic Games.</p>
<p>But are Singaporeans really proud of their independence and what is the true meaning of independence?</p>
<p>Independence means liberty from the yoke of colonialism, the right to determine our own destiny, to make important political and moral choices as citizens of a new state where we would all be responsible for our own lives and actions.</p>
<p>Forty five years after breaking the bondage to a foreign power have Singaporeans been able to exercise self-determination and enjoy their freedoms?  Mr Sim Kwang Yang, an opposition MP in Sarawak from 1982 to1995, made the following observations on post-Independence Malaysia which I think are just as relevant in Singapore:</p>
<p>“&#8230;. those laws and regulations that were enacted and used to fetter the freedom of Malaysians by our former colonial masters are now used to oppress dissidents and critics of the government.</p>
<p>In fact, freedom is now painted as a word with fearful negative connotations. Day in and day out, we are reminded by our elected leaders that freedom is equal to license the nihilistic idea of doing what one wants without responsibility and restraint.</p>
<p>Freedom has been equated with seditious tendency, with people going wild and violent because they have ultra-sensitive religious and racial nerves, and with riots and rampant killing on the streets that will destroy stability and economic development.</p>
<p>For 50 years, we may have said farewell to our former British colonial masters, but their colonial instruments for the oppression of the people and suppression of their fundamental liberties have been preserved, reinforced, and abused by the same group of ruling elite to ensure their hold on political power.</p>
<p>Like their former colonial tuans, the new ruling class in the new nation-state has monopolised all rights towards the articulation of national interest. In the name of that national interest, which only they can narrate, they &#8211; like their colonial masters before them &#8211;  severely limit citizens’ right to free speech, free expression of ideas, freedom of the press, and freedom of association. Until today, an assembly of more than five persons is still considered by the police as an illegal assembly. What has our half century of independence achieved?” </p>
<p>Unfortunately in Singapore, just one person only can be considered as illegal assembly!</p>
<p>Many people will point to our remarkable economic progress as our achievement since Independence. But what is the use of living in a big nice house when you are not allowed to participate in the running of the house or worst still your voice is not even heard?  </p>

If you think the split is 50-50, you are being nice.

Well, we "PAP smear" are quite perturbed by the polls by CNA. 90% of how many are uninterested? 3% don't know? Do you know how much we spent on the whole gala? The kind of good food we provide to the helpers are actually criticised to be worst than dog food??

Ridiclously Diculous!!!

<p>If you think the split is 50-50, you are being nice.</p>
<p>Well, we &#8220;PAP smear&#8221; are quite perturbed by the polls by CNA. 90% of how many are uninterested? 3% don&#8217;t know? Do you know how much we spent on the whole gala? The kind of good food we provide to the helpers are actually criticised to be worst than dog food??</p>
<p>And about the students queueing up under the hot sun during the torch relay&#8230; is it really that hot? </p>
<p>Ridiculously Diculous!!!</p>
<p>Hey people, give some some face to DPM Teo can or not? He is the President of the Singapore National Olympic Council wor&#8230; why can&#8217;t all of you just shut the mug up and pretend to like the YOG? Those jokers who actually set up the facebook anti-YOG groups deserved to be whacked on the butts. Be nice. Be obedient. This is the way we have to come together to make the Sports event succeed. There is no room for failure.</p>
<p>JJ Lin is a patriotic man. He came up with this &#8220;Hadoken&#8221; jingle so good and yet got bombarded by the fans&#8230;. you mean you don&#8217;t like the words? He said it&#8217;s not written by him. The melody is nice right?</p>
<p>Also, I bet all you you should like the Olympic theme song &#8211; Ken Lim&#8217;s &#8220;Everyone&#8221;. After we went through all the preliminaries, semi-finals, finals, and eventually came out with a winning song &#8220;Dare to Dream&#8221; by Najip Siddik, we finally gave Ken the inspiration to write the song we want! Isn&#8217;t it beautiful? EVERYONE should like the song!</p>
<p>And on the give-way thingy. Come-on, just do it like Nike. The fine is just to remind&#8230; we don&#8217;t actually mean to slap a fine on you drivers lah&#8230; just keep clear of the path and let the athletes arrive on time.</p>
<p>Anymore issues? Can negotiate with Ser Luck one. He is a nice guy.</p>

<p>The two-party system does not work for our country, like MM Lee and SM Goh has reiterated many times. Think about it&#8230; the perfect one-party democracy! Isn&#8217;t it beautiful??? We Asians are different from the Caucasians and will not do well under a system where decisions are split. We need a good leader. We have PM Lee. We will soon possibly have PM Teo. And maybe PM Lee again then.</p>
<p>Think!</p>
<p>Yes, people, the one-party democracy is the choice for our nation. We the citizens of Singapore should stand together and united as not two, but one. See Tong and his wife can still be a good MP couple, representing the voice of the common. Thia Khiang will probably get his Hougang again in the coming GE. The system is Asiance &#8211; Beautiful and Majestic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear supporters,</p>
<p>I am about to go through one of my ever greatest trials in life. Should you not hear from me for a continuous 3-month period or more, the following might have happened.</p>
<p>1. I am detained without trial</p>
<p>2. I am prosecuted and jailed</p>
<p>3. I am in a coma like Kwa Geok Choo</p>
<p>4. I am dead</p>
<p>Either way, I will no longer have access to the internet.</p>
<p>To all my friends and comrades in different sectors, especially that of the business and journalism, I implore all of you to continue to fight for a two party-system for our country. Only a true democracy like that of the US and Taiwan could bring forth a better life for the common people. Unless you want to see a Singapore which is meant for only the upper class to thrive and enjoy, and the people don&#8217;t really have a choice, the revolution must go on!</p>
<p>I love you.</p>
<p>BN<br />
