    Damanhuri Abas: Singaporeans Must Remember This Walkover When Next GE Comes, Don’t Be Cheated By PAP Again

    Singaporeans woke up today unhappy and in sadness. The country rightly felt betrayed by the ruling party for denying our right to vote. The wound is real and the scar is permanent.

    Any doubt that this Reserved PE was a political ploy to deny Singaporeans to choose a popular President who clearly was a threat to the ruling party is now put to rest.

    This battle is lost not on fairplay, so the people should hold our heads high as the PAP Government cheated us again. Power has corrupted them.

    Let this be their last high fix before the fall. Do not allow anyone to forget our own 911 that intends to bring down our democracy.

    Singaporeans must remember this day when the next GE comes. The stakes are our children and our children’s children.

    We are not a racist nation they paint us to be. They are the one stoking racial sentiments again and again for their vested political interest. Let us unite as a nation to right this wrong.

    For after every hardship there will be ease. Again, after every hardship there will be ease.

    God bless you all.

  • Halimah Yacob Who Is The Only Eligible PE Candidate Sparks #NotMyPresident Hashtag Across Singapore

    Halimah Yacob Who Is The Only Eligible PE Candidate Sparks #NotMyPresident Hashtag Across Singapore

    Barely minutes after former Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob was confirmed on Monday (11 September) as the only eligible candidate for this year’s Presidential Election (PE), a number of Singaporeans began using the hashtag #notmypresident in their social media posts.

    The use of the hashtag has continued to gather momentum in the past few hours, with Singaporeans expressing dissatisfaction that there would be a walkover for the PE. Polling Day for the PE, which is reserved for Malay candidates, has been set for 23 September but is unlikely to take place.

    For example on Twitter a user tweeted, “come on. only Halimah received the eligibility certificate. did you guys have to make it THAT obvious? #NOTMYPRESIDENT”. Others came up with different hashtag to show their displeasure such as #rejectPE201, #reservedforPAP and #MadamKelongPresident but the most popular remains with the #notmypresident hashtag.

  • Commentary: In A Perverse Way, The Outcome Was A ‘Fitting Finale’ To The Reserved PE2017

    Commentary: In A Perverse Way, The Outcome Was A ‘Fitting Finale’ To The Reserved PE2017

    In a perverse way, the outcome of the first Reserved Presidency, a non-event, was a fitting finale to the reserved presidential election (which has now become a non-election).

    How so?

    * The Malay community never asked for a Malay president, and now we have one. I wonder how many in the community will be jubilant.

    * A confirmation that meritocracy is not sacrosanct, and it can be disapplied selectively. We wonder when the next disapplication will be.

    * An affirmation of the perception that Malays need a crutch and will only “succeed” upon affirmative action.

    * The question that is begged to be answered is why the Community had failed to come up with a qualified candidate for the Presidency (other than Mdm Halimah)? Has the bar been set too high that it excludes others who would be willing and able to be President? Or is the community not good enough?

    * Singaporeans generally will not be pleased. Apart from the fact that other non-Malay communities have been denied the opportunity to field candidates, Singaporeans too have been denied the opportunity to cast votes, the most basic form of democracy.

    * Mdm Halimah can’t be too pleased. She would have won a presidential election which was open. She would have won a presidential election that was reserved. But she has been denied that opportunity to have the electorate’s mandate.

  • 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

    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.”
