  • Commentary: All 4 Elected Presidents So Far Are Either Ex-PAP Ministers Or From Gov’s Ranks

    Commentary: All 4 Elected Presidents So Far Are Either Ex-PAP Ministers Or From Gov’s Ranks

    So it is a walkover. Singaporeans will not need to vote for their next President. True to form; a long, iniquitous history of rigging the system. From third world to first economically, and the reverse politically–the country’s lurched from minimalist electoral democracy to illiberal democracy to sham democracy. As Andrew Loh has detailed.:

    “After JB Jeyaretnam won Anson in 1981’s by-election, they introduced the Non-constituency MP (NCMP) scheme in 1984.

    After both JB Jeyaretnam and Chiam See Tong won seats in 1984, they introduced the GRC system in 1988.

    After Low Thia Khiang won Hougang in 1991 and the SDP won 3 constituencies, they increased the size of GRCs from 3-4 to 5-6 in the 1997 GE.

    After the WP won Aljunied in 2011, they announced changes to the Town Council Act.

    After President Ong Teng Cheong became president in 1993 and questioned them about the reserves, they went back and changed the Constitutional powers of the Elected President in 1994, which allowed the govt to bypass the president’s scrutiny when statutory boards and Government companies transfer their reserves to the Government.

    And now, after Tan Cheng Bock almost won the last presidential election, they have – once again – gone back to change the Constitution, to introduce the “Reserved Election” which allows them to bar all Chinese from such an election, including someone like Dr Tan.

    And finally, while the Elected President is said to be a check on the (PAP) Government of the day, all 4 Elected Presidents so far are either ex-PAP ministers (Ong Teng Cheong, Tony Tan, Halimah Yacob, presuming she wins in September), or from the Government’s ranks (SR Nathan).

    Coincidence? Or #OwnselfCheckOwnself taken to its shameless extreme?”

    And to that I add: #reservedforPAP

  • PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WALKOVER; HALIMAH YACOB’S TITLE OF MADAM PRESIDENT NOT A MYTH

    PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WALKOVER; HALIMAH YACOB’S TITLE OF MADAM PRESIDENT NOT A MYTH

    Singaporeans will not have to vote for their new President as only one Certificate of Eligibility has been issued.

    This was announced by the Elections Department on Monday (Sep 11) in a press release reproduced below:

    Five individuals applied for a Certificate of Eligibility. Of these five individuals, three declared that they belonged to the Malay community and applied for Malay Community Certificates.

    Decisions on Certificate of Eligibility
    The PEC has decided to issue one Certificate of Eligibility.

    Decisions on Community Certificates
    The CC referred all three applications for a Malay Community Certificate to the Malay Community Sub-Committee (MCSC), and the MCSC has concluded that all three applicants belong to the Malay community. The CC will therefore issue three Malay Community Certificates.

    As this Presidential Election is reserved for the Malay community, the CC rejected the two community declarations where the declarants did not declare themselves to be a member of the Malay community.

    Individuals issued with both Certificates
    One individual will be issued with both the Certificate of Eligibility and the Malay Community Certificate.

    Notification to candidates
    The Elections Department has notified all five individuals on the outcome of their applications. Reasons were also given to the unsuccessful applicants for a Certificate of Eligibility. The PEC and the Elections Department will not, in the first instance, publish the names of the unsuccessful applicants or the reasons given to them. This is to give effect to the recommendation of the Constitutional Commission that unsuccessful applicants should not be disclosed to the public, to reduce the prospect of potential applicants being dissuaded from stepping forward to contest the elections. An unsuccessful applicant is free to publish the reasons given to him or her.

  • Introducing The PAP’s New Singlish Dictionary: Something Every Singaporeans Must Know

    Introducing The PAP’s New Singlish Dictionary: Something Every Singaporeans Must Know

    In the name of PAP redefined words for self-serving political expediency, the following definitions, meanings and logics apply:-

    – Meritocracy is not the best man for the job but means selective choice based on political affinity.

    – Multi-racialism means 70% of population must always be Chinese. If not enough Chinese due to low birth rate just top up with any Chinese. Failure of which, racial problem arises because minority if increases in number will create racial tension. No evidence given just accept PAP’s logic.

    – GRC needed to guarantee minority representation because majority Chinese still racist therefore minority will never win one to one elections, as HDB racial quota policy ensures no constituency with majority, minority group is possible. Nevermind that JBJ and other minorities historically (latest being Muralli) did and can win single seats. Those are strange unexplained anomalies that are better for people to forget.

    – Malay can fail security clearance in Mindef while the new citizen Tiong can pass security. The new guy automatically more loyal and trustworthy than the indigenous Malay chap, even though originating from communist country. Again just trust PAP’s insights and wisdom.

    – No Halal kitchen in Navy ship equals no Malay is fine. Just tolerate and accept as nothing racist about it. Multi-million dollar paid PAP minister said so.

    – President must share because quietly some Malays desire it, PM cannot share as Chinese not ready for it and even if Malay want, can just ignore it.

    – And now, Black can be White, square is circle, Indian is Malay. To be decided by PAP appointed committee.

    – Country’s pledge good to say but not priority to live by, as will undermine all of the above.

    – PAP logic dictates that after 52 years of independence, people don’t wise up overtime but instead somehow become more racist naturally.

    Welcome to PAP’s New Singlish dictionary.

    Only that we, the people will pay the price by having our intellect dumbed down and our full political freedom denied in the name of their democracy (read as democrazy).

  • 1m-Long Gigantic Spider Spotted At Changi Village Carpark; A Daytime Nightmare

    1m-Long Gigantic Spider Spotted At Changi Village Carpark; A Daytime Nightmare

    How would you feel if you came across a spider more than 1m long?

    That was exactly what happened to Stomper Spiderman, who chanced upon the gigantic arachnid in its web while she was having a meal at Changi Village yesterday (Sept 8) at 2pm.

    According to Spiderman who compared the spider’s length to the bricks behind it, it measured more than 40 inches, and was about a meter in length.

    Said the terrified Spiderman:

    “It was very big.

    “I would advise residents in the vicinity to close their windows.”

  • Attention: Malay Population In Singapore At Its Peak Due To All Muslims Considered A Malay

    Attention: Malay Population In Singapore At Its Peak Due To All Muslims Considered A Malay

    It’s getting more and more confusing now. Or is it not?

    If “people” are saying that religion determines the race then this a development in a way. Let’s do some mathematical analysis.

    The given arguments are:

    A Malay is not a Malay only if he/she is a Christian. (lose)

    An Indian is a Malay if he/she is a Muslim. (add)

    So going by the same argument,

    If a Chinese or a Caucasian(others) are Muslims, he/she is a Malay. (add)

    Well then let’s revise the national population ratio. Overall there should be more Malays now because technically all Muslims are considered as Malays. And there should be a reduction of in the population of Indians and Chinese now that their Muslims brethren are classified as Malays. So hurray! Our Malay population has grown! #makemalaygreatagain

    (What about Indians or Chinese who are Christians? Because generally Indians are Hindus and Chinese are Taoists or Buddhists. Jeng jeng jeng….)
