  • Singapore’s Presidential Election: A Political Charade?

    Singapore’s Presidential Election: A Political Charade?

    The Presidential Election 2017 is a tricky one because for the first time ever, it has the race element. Many individuals have come forward to express how the PE is tainted due to it being reserved for only Malays, and thus far, the candidates that have come forward, are all not from the Malay race itself. Issues after issues surround the upcoming PE, therefore, will this be a fair PE?

    ***

    As a person, I can think of a hundred nice things to say about Mdm Halimah Yacob. Hers is an inspiring story of how will and determination can overcome all obstacles and hardships. But as a PAP-sponsored candidate for the coming EP (Reserved only for Malays) contest, I try but can’t think of any. The same goes for the other two PAP-inspired male supporting actors in this political charade scripted by a puppet master.

    As successful businessmen in a tough Chinese-dominated environment, they have proven their mettle. I have also much admiration for them. By becoming willing partners in this closed and divisive EP race, I have nothing good to say about their participation. All 3 have to lie through their teeth to maintain the meritocracy and multi-racialism facade of what is essentially a flawed EP contest. In his prime, our revered departed leader said:

    “Never tinker with a system that works for political advantage, because once you start, you will never stop.” But decades later – in an attempt to prolong his own legacy – he forgot all about his advice to the leaders from the developing world. The result is a divided and highly agitated Sinkapoor, preoccupied with racial issues, nursing old and new grievances and questioning the legitimacy of the present leaders. Now we know, human nature cannot change. Unfettered power will sooner or later corrupt even the most incorruptible of leaders.

  • Presidential Hopeful Farid Khan Supports Taking ASSK To Court Over Ethnic Cleansing In Rohingya

    Presidential Hopeful Farid Khan Supports Taking ASSK To Court Over Ethnic Cleansing In Rohingya

    Presidential candidate Faird Khan has thrown his weight behind a petition calling on the European Court of Human Rights to try Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi for human rights violations over the “ethnic cleansing” taking place against the Rohingya community in her country.

    Farid Khan’s personal Facebook page shared a link to a Change.org petition 3 hours ago which reads: “Take Aung San Suu Kyi to European court of human rights over ethnic cleansing in Rohingya.”

    The petition reads:

    We have had a storm of footages and reports being validateded through the media, governments, and the united nation’s inspectors such as the ex UN president Kofi Annan, current UN investigators, Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn, BBC, Times, etc and the alike have all confirmed that the Mayanmarian government have and are persecuting and ethic cleansing the minority rohingya (Rakhine State) community and its people.

    This has to Stop!This torture is done only due to the minoritie’s faith and the particularly religion practised (Islam) which the army and the government deems it foreign to the state’s religion which is Buddhism. The Buddhist themselves such as monks are taking arms and destroying innocent beings and villages.

    Young children, women and men, the old and the disabled are all being tortured, set on fire, raped, murdered and their houses burned.

    We as the humankind have to take action and take the head of the mayanmar state Aung San Suu Kyi and the armed forces’ commander-in-chief, Ming Aung Hlaing to the International court (The Hague) I.C.J or to The European Court of Human Rights so both of them can answer to their hate crimes.The current leaders are silent but little remarks made. Last year Theresa May invited the head of Mayanmar to Downing Street for a discussion and to join her for an afternoon tea.

    This is absurd.Please bring justice back in this world and with your help we can achieve sending this message of support and expression of unity to those leaders that have no mercy. So it may change their conception. Please help us raise the fees for Human Rights Lawyers, court fees etc

    Thank you

    Many kind regards

    your sincerely, Hussein M

    The petition has gathered 139,353 supporters as of reporting time.

    This is among the first political statements made by the aspiring presidential candidate.

  • Damanhuri Abas: “The Reserved PE Has Divided The People Like Never Before”

    Damanhuri Abas: “The Reserved PE Has Divided The People Like Never Before”

    “The reserved PE has divided the people like never before” – What do you think?

    ***

    A nation agonizes over 2 commendable aspiring candidates, from a tiny almost non-existent pool limited by imposed racial restriction, hoping to qualify over an excessively high financial bar that they clearly cannot meet, and a hollow sloganeering ex-government figure trying hard to abandon her recent past and parading her sudden new found neutrality, all over a supposedly noble Presidential campaign sadly undermined and tarnished even before it begin. The reserved PE has divided the people like never before. A cruel departure from its stately position as the unifying figurehead it was meant to be. It fly against all reason to execute an out of sync intervention on the PE for its declared reason to right some racial inequality in society. It is totally unnecessary and misplaced affirmative action for ulterior motives and will likely backfire.

    The smiley faces that front the prospective candidates paint a false media led facade of acceptance for this queer act by the Government. It belies their insincere and bad faith to address deep systemic discriminatory practises that it admits still exists today and may have had a hand in. Ironically, the very community that supposedly will benefit, in fact will have its collective integrity severely damaged for accepting to be used for it. The issue of race is about the intent of our nation to establish a truly multi-racial democratic society based on justice and equality. What we all pledged to daily, for a good 10 or more years of our lives. This single act by this Government tarnished those words we religiously uttered together, rendering them meaningless into years of futile parroting exercise by us and our children.

    Singaporeans should not allow ourselves to forget those lofty ideals that our founding fathers wrote and fought very hard for. This aberration is a sad chapter in our history that we must overcome together. Many of us still truly believe and live our lives daily to realise the multi-racial Singapore that we worked tirelessly to keep. The Government that once stood for all the good that this country has build, now, is sadly led by leaders who strangely abandons those core principles that has made us to be, a shining beacon of prosperity, justice and equality, that our founding fathers aspires for this nation. The achievements that we made surely are much more than the mesmerizing iconic skyline of our city. It is more preciously, the collective identity shaped by years of rigour, sacrifices and hearts of the multitude of people of all races living together in this island state we call our home. Each one cognizant of our unique diversity contributing to the colourful tapestry of our multi-racial society build overtime with honesty and mutual respect for one another. These are the sacred values that unfortunately we see eroding caused by the very people that are responsible for its upkeep.

    In this lose-lose scenario, the next elected President will unceremoniously inherit a divided country it ironically has caused. We in truth, also allowed ourselves to be divided, for all the wrong reasons. Led by leaders who chooses their vested interest for continued power, above the interest of our nation, our founding fathers and us, the people. May all of us who love this country and cherished all that it stands for as enshrined in the verses of our constitution, huddle on, wised up and collectively rise again from this dismal state we are in, to one day correct the mistakes we did, before its too late, for the sake of our children and our future generations. Heads up my fellow Singaporean and be counted when our country needs us the most. We may lose this battle but let us unite to win another day to regain back our country.

  • Commentary: No Need For A Contest? Reserved Election Promotes Multi-Culturalism? What Utter Nonsense!

    Commentary: No Need For A Contest? Reserved Election Promotes Multi-Culturalism? What Utter Nonsense!

    *********** Not Par for the Course ****************

    Over the weekend , the MSM was suggesting that perhaps there is no need for a contest in the upcoming Presidential Election and that the reserved Election promotes multi-culturalism .

    What utter nonsense !

    This reserved Election has already gone down as the most despised , ridiculed and discredited election in Singapore history . It has set back the Singapore identity and race relations by 50 years . It has laid to waste all the efforts at Nation building for the past half a century , all for the sake of political expediency by the establishment .

    The Singapore identity meant amongst other things , that when it is a question of putting one person before another in positions of public responsibility , what counts is not membership of a particular class but the actual ability which the man possesses . That Singapore identity has been totally shredded by this reserved election .

    The Establishment uses euphemisms such as promoting multi-culturalism to camouflage the racial ugliness of their stratagem . Multi-culturalism is always inclusive and never exclusive , which sadly is what the reserved election is all about .

    Halimah Yacob says that the reserved election is still meritocratic because all the candidates have to meet the same qualification criteria . No Madam . A meritocratic system is one where other races are not excluded from being elected President . You are participating in a ” handicapped ” election where other races are excluded in favour of a particular race . It is comparable to the US Masters Golf tournament being reserved only for Black golfers in a particular year . Tiger Woods did not require such a handicap competition to win the Masters in 1997 or 13 other major championships , and countless other tournaments throughout the world . Neither did Barack Obama require a reserved Election to become the first Black American President in 2008 , an achievement which was thought well-nigh impossible just 2 years earlier .

    For those who suggest there is no need for a contest , I have this to say . Whoever becomes the next President of Singapore has already become so diminished by this whole absurd saga . To even begin to salvage a modicum of respect for a hollowed out Office requires the person to win the command and respect of the Singapore people in a proper contest . If there is a walkover , there will be no mandate or respect from Singaporeans for this President , who will assume Office on 14 September as the lamest of ducks !
