The Oppositions' Weakness in Unity

Bryan and Wilson..since as Kenneth Jeyaretnam (KJ) said the ball is in our court..so we can kick it around right and may not kick into their goal. POOR AIM LAH!

Wilson is a up and coming protege of yours Bryan. His views holds 'rainbow colours' of many truth......even me cannot hold a candle to this young 'ding dong' pussy.

In the interest of opposition certainty and unity and if numbers do count..as in PAP's always fielding 84 members. To them it is so easy. WP or RP should try to field 84 candidates if they can but with discreet foreboding...because the trash bin has alot of discards. Due to the mentality of candidates to be preferring to ride on the 'dragon'..it may be a tall order to recruit even 40 candidates for each opposition party. The win-win scenario will be to pool resources of members and knowing the electoral boundaries later to allocate every constituency to be contested with candidates under an "understanding umbrella". Ideally, if any one party have 84 candidates..it may be easier but than again you may not be able to avoid 3-corner fights which is a no-no. Just a reverie, the magic number of 84!

This coming election will be the best bet..and for Chiam See Tong (CST)..the last bet on KJ's 'prediction'...CST will have to fight his last battle and KJ is helping him to fight the odds on an 'even keel' but... Bryan may not agreed with me on that!

SDP, NSP,WP, RP will be a force to reckon..SDA is still in limbo and SPP is now in fact leaning more to RP than the other way round. CST knows too well his declining health needs a younger man to give him a strong shoulder.

Go for it in UNITY, ALL OPPOSITION PARTIES for the common purpose of 'SLOWLY BUT SURELY' voting PAP out of parliament in time to come. And this election is the best that can ever happen to begin with that important STEP !!

Trademark Patent: I am registering my trademark phrase "SLOWLY BUT SURELY" which I have used in many occasion...in case Bryan disputes and steals it in his write-up. The 'MinWage'(minimum wage)....was the catalyst..hahahaa!

Wilson Ho says no to Minimum Wage

@wilson..with regime changed... can we see the future....it can be worst, you never know. The reason we all want a change of government is PAP is all Almighty now..greater than God (in their own image), not compassionate and not doing enou...gh for the poor..HDB keeps on up and up and up..like the guys in the morning waking up from bed "singing "Majulah Singapura"..I do, every morning at 5 am..see how patriotic I am and all the others!!!

So let us take a step at a time...SLOWLY BUT SURELY remove PAP from the government and work with whoever government it would be..maybe another 10 years time to form. Our present set of opposition, you tell me can they recruit enough true blue S'poreans to fight a good fight with PAP..many will want to just ride on the smooth wave on a comfortable surfboard of fame. Just human lah!

Within this ten years, we do not expect our poor citizens to suffer the indignity of being outcast and ostracized by our very government of 50 years with(the ministars) living their live of 'enormous nonchalance'...this is the 'death of our social and demographic decadence... upheaval due to the foreigners turned citizens and our citizens relegated to being 3rd class. Do the PAP cares? They only cares more can go into their coffers. And at the same time stop citizens from withdrawing our very own CPF with increasing greater minimum sum as compulsory retention...If this is not worst than a communist state than what is???

The poor will not want to draw a $1000/- a month salary after 10 years due to no MinWage, when the ministars keep on increasing their obscene pay beyond "OMG". and keep on taxing across the board the poor citizens on everything under the PAP sun.....Have a life man ...my friend !!! see the real pix of desolation of life and suffering to come to many daily lives....then the CPI will really kill most of us with every daily necessities beyond one's reach and YES! we forgot about the people on social security....will be lucky if they can live on $360/- per month...Lily Neo would resign trying to knock into V.Balan's head to please increase their social allowance but VB will say.."do this poor guys want to eat 'bao yu' (abalone) and Lily Neo just stormed out crying from parliament..you see the scenario wilson..can be true you know....with all those third generation invertebrates running the government. Gone were the old guards days !! A sad lamentation !!!

Mother Teresa and Mdm Kwa Geok Choo (KGC)

Then Heaven will send our parents to Johore Bharu (JB) to stay..as Khaw Boon Wan (KBW) said. He is living in a 'make-belief world of his riches...what a hypothetical question to ask KBW ? if everyone were to be like Mrs Lee, tsk, tsk... and he wanted our parents to stay in JB !

What about Mother Teresa ? -she really brought heaven to the slums of India, Calcutta...Money in life is not everything.
Mr Khaw, are you trying to say that if everyone were like Mrs Lee...(in monetary terms) ??.....this planet will be heaven?

Mdm Kwa was a lady personified by her good character and her no-air attitude on others. She had contributed to the shaping of S'pore. I believe if without her LKY will not be that great. The success of many men was because of the women behind them, is true to the adage. In this instant of KGC and LKY... a perfect meeting of intelligent minds !

But when in true essence of comparison, Mother Teresa received the Nobel Prize for Humanity to humanity. Each has their merits...there is no lacking in yardsticks..How would you qualify and quantify a whole life of dedication to the poor??..Regards.

State Funeral and the Final Send-Off

State funeral or no state funeral is really not a big deal. In life we live for the sincerity and honesty of our contributions. From 'dust we come unto dust we go', as in 'come is void, go is void'. Does it make any difference whether a state funeral is accorded?

It is in the eyes of we human with all our 'make belief' idiosyncrasies that we propose this and do that to our whims and fancies. And if we really do not like a person, even if he/she is your next-of-kin, you may not care too hoots.

The greatness in an individual cannot be accentuated with pomposity.
The death would definitely never wish the living to waste so much resources on them if in all honesty may I ask, what real purpose does it show to the dead? Can he/she knows the extravagance accorded? Or just that the immediate family want a show of recognition of the passing which in no time will just fade into oblivion. Death is the end all. What power, fortune, recognition is but impermanence in death !?

We need to care more about the living. All will face death one day. It is the living that life is worth every penny for existence.

RIP, Mr Ong Teng Cheong...please do not arouse his serenity of eternity !

Mdm Kwa Geok Choo... RIP too ! Eternity in heavenly bliss.

PAP's Political Game

@GMS..agree in certainty your assessment and analysis. PAP because of its head-start and financial resources will always be the forefront runner. But Meng Seng..your effort is tremendous...just that you have to be very careful when promoting racial issue.. in political jargon it is 'a time bomb' when you pull the wrong plug. Guess I need not elaborate on it.

As in anything...more so in politics, we must be seen to do things that come with tangible inclination rather than wishy washy disorientation.

If you read between the lines of my earlier comment, you would understand that greater caution should be exercised when come to any race issue. Saw what happened to Tan Liang Hong...he was labelled a 'chinese chauvinist' and forced out of S'pore. This should not happen to you. You know what tactics PAP will employ when dealing against good and dedicated oppositions. Francis Seow was another case in point.

Having said all that...as a 'SUKI', I am rallying for you to be in parliament though the saddest thing is to wack the living daylights out of the shorty 'affordable' HDB 'big man' suki maboh Tan. Send him back to Kheng Kiu or Hainan Island.

Elitism

Elitism is a human fallacy of segregation. All Human are equal. It is the social and privilege stratagem that alienated the elitists into a world of self-fulfillment of their idealism. All capitalist pigs !!

Without the common mass of ordinary human folks..do they think they can call elitist ?..Look into the elitist camp of the three generation PAP MPs?

How many live up to the mark of human understanding of fellow human S'poreans. Raymond Lim, Vivian B, Gan Kim Yong and the number of 'back-door' entry MPs. We would prefer simple heart-searching folks to be our MPs with 'out-of-the box' intelligence than a bunch of high pay
invertebrates without a thought and heart !! LOL!

ELITISM IS THE RETARDATION OF PROGRESSIVISM.

Mdm Kwa Geok Choo (Mrs Lee Kuan Yew)

On 2nd October 2010 at 5.40 pm S'pore time, Mdm Kwa Geok Choo had her final rest in peace. After her second stroke in 2008, she was immobilized. And for two years,she was bedridden. She persisted on maybe because MM Lee without fail would be by her bedside every evening to read to her. She sensed his presence. In MM Lee's own word he said "My most difficult moments come at the end of each day, as I sit by her bedside." He added; "She understands when I talk to her, which I do every night, I tell her about my day's work, read her favourite poems."

That was the relationship between MM and his wife Geok Choo. The meaning of the marriage creed truthfully manifested itself. The undying love of a dear one.

The greatness of Kwa Geok Choo can be traced back to the early years of MM's political career. I think many of us dared say that without Geok Choo, there would be no Lee Kuan Yew(LKY) and there would be no PAP of today that shape the history of Singapore. LKY was and still is the leader of PAP to this day.

The turbulent years of politics in Singapore when LKY was trying to consolidate power under his grasp. LKY did nothing but fight his political opponents. And the epitome and pillar behind him was none other than Mdm Kwa Geok Choo. She has her law firm of Lee and Lee, managed by Geok Choo. Without that LKY would be financially in the doldrums to even have the money to further his political ambition. LKY by profession is also a qualified lawyer. But he spent all his time on the volatile political scene then.

When LKY was Prime Minister, Mdm Kwa did well not to be in the limelight but discreetly accompanied LKY on his official functions as the PM's wife. Her poise, unassuming and friendly nature went down well with the ordinary people and other countries' dignitaries. She performed her duty as a caring wife and when Lee Hsien Loong(LHL) married and had his children, as grandmother. She then acted as mother and grandmother when LHL's wife died.

Mdm Kwa Geok Choo lived a full, wholesome life. There will be no regrets that she left behind her legacy of a complete family. In life we treasure the living, in death we lament for the loss. Life impermanence brings forth the threshold of human existence. Everything is a passing, everything is transient.

Many of us would feel the loss of a mother of Singapore who quietly shaped and influence the future of Singapore in a man who believe in no one but his wife Kwa Geok Choo. We might well said LKY is 'uxoriously' devoted to his wife, and in her last two years of immobility, MM repaid back by constantly keeping her company at her bedside. The toil taxed on his general disposition and emotional wellness.

It might be a little ironic that Mdm Kwa chose to pass off when MM was hospitalised for a lung infection. Only daughter Wei Leng was with her when she died. WE all wish
her a next life of eternity if there is such a next life !?

Mdm Kwa did Singapore proud to be the wife of MM LKY.

Chua Mui Hoong (Deputy Review Editor) wrote an eulogy befitting Mrs Lee in the Sunday Times on 3rd of October 2010, devoting many pages to her. The fame, fortune
and greatness in a life of a person come to nought as death is a leveller of all things. (as said by late president Wee Kim Wee in his book "Glimpses and Reflections").
