Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today, thanks to the Singapore Lee ruling family's unwavering determination to make Singapore very attractive to foreigners and not so attractive to it's own citizens, it has today almost emptied itself of it's own people and replaced it with foreigners from all corners of the world, especially Communist China. You can compare this to a blood transfusion, emptying the man of this own blood and putting someone else's in it's place.
The Lee ruling family has made not only very simple but also very attractive for businesses from abroad. Almost with no questions asked, foreign businesses can not only establish one there, they can also bring move their entire staff there as well. Naturally this makes foreign businesses very happy which is why the island has repeatedly been honored for it's attractive business climate.
It is also the only country in the world as far as I know where a local business can prefer a foreigner for employment over a local, just like that. It is impossible for a German to walk into California and expect a job instantly but he can do it in Singapore.
Since the Lee family are not accountable to anyone, let alone Singaporeans as some kind of God, they are in effect emptying Singapore of it's own population and replacing it with foreigners doing business there. Native born Singaporeans are either left unemployed, have emigrated or died of old age. The only ones still remaining are the poorly skilled who are unable to emigrate to the West and are left behind.
I think all these accolades given to Singapore as the world's most business friendly city should be taken with a pinch of salt. I think they should ask Singaporeans what they think for a change.

Singapore. Time to get out
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Although Singapore state controlled media is not expected to come out with the bitter truth in the island, let me tell you that it is not looking very good. In fact it has not been looking good for some time now.
You have the low birth rate, the mounting flood of emigration to the West, the high mortality rate of an ageing society, and a general lack of confidence in the island overall. As we speak ever more educated skilled professionals continue to leave only to be replaced by temporary travellers passing through for a short Asian experience. The island has gotten a very bad name with locals, foreigners and foreign newspapers being regularly and repeatedly sued for having said things that the Lee ruling family did not like.
Recently they have resorted to sending "lawyers letters" to bloggers with warnings not to criticize and Singapore itself has become the butt of legal jokes because of the very delicate nerves of the Lee family.
These are the signs that manifest a general decline in confidence in Singapore continuing the way it is after Lee Kuan Yew's demise which has to happen sooner than later given he is 89 or 90 years old. His son whom he has placed as Prime Minister is widely believed to be unable to hold the fort and with him gone, there is expected to be general anarchy and a free for all which will not stabilize.
The entire ruling government is made up not of a single leader but of handpicked bureaucrats selected for having passed exams in school and their willingness to abandon their conscience and serve the dictatorship for huge salaries. It is quite clear that were it not for these mind boggling salaries and perks, not a single one of them would have ever stepped forward.
With a total lack of leadership and everyone playing their roles for monetary gain, Singapore is doomed the moment the dictator dies.
Therefore my advice given the state of health and old age of Lee Kuan Yew, to Singaporeans and foreigners is this. If you can leave, leave now before it is too late. Otherwise, the moment Lee dies, your money would be worthless and you would have lost everything because there will panic and disorder in the island. With a tiny population in a tiny overcrowded island, it will not overcome the disaster. As you can see, the signs of abandoning a sinking ship are already apparent. People who can see the writing on the wall are already leaving in even greater numbers.
And not to forget repeated flooding after almost every thunderstorm caused by rising sea levels and global warming. It will not get better, only worse. In a tiny island there will be no space left. And the Lee ruling family has no answers for this.
Leave now if you can before it is too late. Don't be left behind in a failed state.

Lee Kuan Yew's impending death drives Singapore professionals to leave
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Singapore strongman Lee Kuan Yew who has run his island since 1959 is either 89 or 90years old. Since no one can live forever, naturally Singaporeans fear the consequences of his death since everything that matters even remotely is because of him. I had earlier written a hoax in this blog some time ago claiming his having had a serious heart attack to test it's consequences, which confirmed what I and I suppose most people thought. The island went into a state of near panic with the stock market falling and the Prime Minister's office putting out a statement that he was well.
One thing is certain from the circumstances of Singapore ruled by one family, the Lee ruling family, just as is the case with dictatorships everywhere else. When the dictator dies, the country goes into chaos, which I think most observers of Singapore would agree.
Which explains this latest report from Singapore’s state controlled newspaper the Straits Times of March 20, 2012 which has the story "Singapore professionals keen to relocate: Poll".
http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_779514.html
In this report, it claims MRI China Group had carried out a survey in both Hong Kong and Singapore of professionals emigration patterns. It says although Hong Kong "may be crowded and chaotic", their professionals are "fairly happy to stay on" and only 29.4% of professionals wanted to emigrate. In Singapore on the other hand, of 325 professionals surveyed 44.2% wanted to leave.
One of the main reasons why Singaporean professionals want to leave, I believe, is the uncertainly of what Singapore will become after the impending demise of Singapore strongman Lee Kuan Yew. A scenario of a crashed stock market, massive outflow of capital and foreign investment, a run on the banks and people fleeing the island with everything they have, comes to mind.
Best to leave now while the Singapore dollar has any value left. I would do the same had I been a Singaporean professional living in Singapore now.

Singapore's Big Bother is watching you
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am not sure if you have been following the latest from Singapore’s state controlled newspapers but some of their recent reports are bizarre, to say the least. For instance two days ago, Singapore strongman's former multi million dollar president (by the way they all get paid multi million dollars) SR Nathan gave a speech where he lamented the island's lack of a common identity and he has sworn to create one.
Two weeks ago, Singapore’s Minister for Education pointed out that Singapore students should have good character such as integrity, and he has started on a project to do this.
But anyone who actually knows Singapore would have realized that these are impossible tasks in a one party state where conformism is required to live a normal life, let alone succeeding.
This is what it is. It is generally accepted in that island that Lee Kuan Yew and by extension all his family members, in other words the Lee ruling family, are the creators of Singapore and without them Singapore would have been nothing more than a backward fly infested fishing village.
Singaporeans are expected to believe that it was they who single handedly brought Singapore to what it is today, an island with gleaming skyscrapers skirting the waterfront. Every single Singaporean is expected to owe his entire existence to this great family who have spent their entire lives selflessly struggling for the welfare of the people without an iota of self interest.
In fact they want you to believe that since Jesus Christ, Mahatma Gandhi or Mother Theresa, there has been noone comparable to this distinguished family.
They require you to believe, the Lee ruling family, especially Lee Kuan Yew himself, is the sole repository of all the word's knowledge, having scored a double first at the esteemed Cambridge University and everything he has done so far and will ever do until our Good Lord takes him will be the best thing that ever happened or will ever happen to the very lucky Singaporeans who have been blessed with a man like him.
As for anyone who criticizes his paying himself millions of dollars for himself and each of his family members, they are entitled to every penny of it, because they are such great and smart people while any criticism of corruption against them is totally and absolutely misguided. This is what they want Singaporeans to believe.
Lee our great leader knew that newspapers should not be free and should be state controlled in a small city state like Singapore, which is why he did it. Also he realized that peaceful protests, freedom of speech and expression and such rowdy and unacceptable behavior are a sign of the decadent West and should be avoided at all costs, which is why he arrests anyone who dares to criticize or hold any peaceful protests. Since there is no way he could be wrong, anyone who criticizes him should be sued and bankrupted which explains why today Chee Soon Juan has been adjudicated a bankrupt and so was the earlier troublemaker, the late JB Jeyaretnam. This is what Singaporeans in Lee’s Singapore should believe.
Also according to them, Singapore judges are the best in the world and it's justice is admired and respected universally and judges like Belinda Ang Saw Ean are unparalleled for her integrity honesty and wisdom which is why Gopalan Nair the thoroughly ingrate deserves being sent to jail for 3 months in 2008 for doing such a despicable act at to criticize her, someone who could do no wrong, as good as God or even as good as Lee Kuan Yew himself.
The problem is this. In order to live a peaceful life in that one party city state, let alone succeeding, one has to accept everything that has been said above as true; and if you wanted to go far, openly proclaim this to be true, if not life can be very troublesome because Big Brother is constantly watching.
As for myself, it is impossible for me to accept any of this nonsense. I do not believe one bit that Lee Kuan Yew or any of his extended Lee ruling family is either necessary or even advantageous for the small island nation. Indeed I believe that this fellow is nothing but a small time thug who goes around punishing his detractors because he has the benefit of a compliant police force and a corrupt judiciary who prop him up because of the bribes and kickbacks they receive in the millions.
I do not believe that having a state controlled press is a good thing, nor having a state controlled judiciary nor the denial of the rule of law as being desirous in any way.
I believe that giving the people the right to be free, to be free to think and to act as long as they comply with a set of lawfully elected laws which Singapore does not have because these laws that deny free speech and expression are illegal and an affront to humanity and should be disobeyed.
Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore today inhibits freedom of thought or expression, denies the free expression of ideas and requires one to conform in order to live a peaceful life. This is bad not only for it's people, it is bad also for Singapore.
And the deleterious effects of such a controlled society is apparent daily. Thousands of educated people continue to leave for settlement abroad. People simply refuse to have children and the native born are simply dying off from old age. To replace the ones who left or died, the Lee ruling family bring in mindless and brainless third rate Chinese immigrants from mainland China who fit in very well with the Lee ruling family's idea of good citizenship. But these mindless brainless characters do not advance Singapore one bit.
I am not a man who would use strong words but sometimes one cannot just help it. I want to tell this small time bully, Lee and his family, in the small island city state of Singapore that he can take his harebrained ideas and shove it up you know where. He is simply an old fool who does not realize that in this day and age, you simply cannot ask some to dance because they simply won't.
And I want to wish him and his minions who run around him such as the former president of Singapore SR Nathan and the present Minister for Education, both millionaires several times over and both of whom I believe would swear upon their mother’s graves that the Lee family is God’s gift to Singapore, good luck in creating a population with an independent character and a Singaporean identity, whatever that may be.
I am sorry but this is not the type of character or identity that I would want to wish on myself or anyone else, million dollars or none at all.
Of course, in the Singaporean meaning of things, I just as Chee Soon Juan and the former JB Jeyaretnam are criminals and miscreants of the worst kind, who deserve to be locked up and the key thrown away.

Singapore's betrayal of non Chinese citizens, ethnic cleansing
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Singapore today has about 78% people of Chinese descent, about 13% Malays and another 8% Indians. This is not a figure that came about naturally but deliberately created by the government's preference of people of Chinese descent over their other citizens, Malay and Indian.
The original inhabitants of Singapore island since the beginning of time were Malays as was in Malaya and Indonesia, known as the Malay archipelago. When the British arrived in 1819, they brought in Chinese from Southern China to work in business and commerce and Indians in Malay's rubber plantations and construction.
With Singapore's prosperity as a business center and a sea port, the population of each race increased with the Chinese increasing at a slightly faster rate. Nevertheless in the 1950s the population ratio of Indians and Malays were far greater than what it is today.
Instead of the island's racial balance being allowed to progress naturally, for the last 4 decades or so, the Lee ruling family who were effectively running a one party dictatorship, as they are doing now, began deliberately suppressing the populations of Muslim Malays and Indians while actively and deliberately increasing that of the Chinese population.
The Chinese Singapore population has over the last 3 decades or so, been suffering from the lowest birth rate among the races, while the Malays had the highest followed by the Indians. Had matters been left to nature, Singapore would have had far more Malays than there are today, relatively speaking.
There is no doubt that Lee Kuan Yew family, who are ethnic Chinese, who continues to run Singapore since 1959 is openly and unashamedly racist who are prepared to do anything necessary however illegal to change Singapore into a complete and absolute Chinese city by importing disproportionally large numbers of ethnic Chinese from China to literally flood the island while at the same time placing a total ban on Malay immigrants and allowing only a trickle of Indians.
This is because the Malays have never really supported him and neither did the Indians who would have preferred a multi racial island with English language and Western style democracy which the Lee ruling family feels would be a threat to their continued dictatorial rule. They have never been admirers of democracy.
Today immigrants from China who have no knowledge of English or any skills whatsoever are permitted to immigrate purely to increase their numbers in the island to make sure that Singapore will be Lee Kuan Yew's Chinese city, not a multi racial city as the British and it's original population had hoped when they colonized Singapore.
It has to be said that transforming Singapore into a Chinese city by deliberately increasing the number of Chinese immigrants is a blatant violation of the Singapore Constitution which clearly mandates equality between the races. This is ethnic cleansing shamelessly conducted by the Lee ruling party to deliberately destroy the Malay and Indian populations in the island. In Bosnia they shot their Muslim neighbours. In Singapore they do it by importing foreign Chinese. This is ethnic cleansing, no less. The only difference is the manner in which it is done.
The government has said on many occasions in the past that they are determined to keep the population ratio as 75% Chinese 15% Malay and the balance Indian, even though nowhere in the Constitution is this ratio required or even allowed.
If indeed all races are to be treated equally under the law, this deliberate overwhelmingly large importation of Chinese immigrants is a clear violation of the Constitution.
Up till now, Singapore's Malay leaders such as the Singapore Democratic Party's Jufri Mehmood is clearly unhappy with this policy of racial discrimination against his people but have not been prepared to openly speak on this for fear of being branded Malay chauvinists or even worse being arrested under the Internal Security Act falsely accused of inciting racial unrest. As for the Indian leaders they have been so much intimidated into submission that no one single Indian leader can be identified or willing to be counted.
As we speak Singapore's Changi airport continues to ship in plane loads each day of these Chinese from Communist China thereby continuing to transform the island into a complete Chinese city.
Today, with Lee ruling family's great success in this illegal racial policy, original native born Indians have become almost non existent.

Unless the Malays and Indians stand up against this deliberate and continual ethnic cleansing leading to their total extinction in their own island, standing by doing nothing will in fact ring the final death knell of their people and race in their Singapore.

You will be helping democracy by distributing this widely. This blog not only gives information, it dispels government propaganda put out by this dictatorial regime.
Singapore today has about 78% people of Chinese descent, about 13% Malays and another 8% Indians. This is not a figure that came about naturally but deliberately created by the government's preference of people of Chinese descent over their other citizens, Malay and Indian.
The original inhabitants of Singapore island since the beginning of time were Malays as was in Malaya and Indonesia, known as the Malay archipelago. When the British arrived in 1819, they brought in Chinese from Southern China to work in business and commerce and Indians in Malay's rubber plantations and construction.
With Singapore's prosperity as a business center and a sea port, the population of each race increased with the Chinese increasing at a slightly faster rate. Nevertheless in the 1950s the population ratio of Indians and Malays were far greater than what it is today.
Instead of the island's racial balance being allowed to progress naturally, for the last 4 decades or so, the Lee ruling family who were effectively running a one party dictatorship, as they are doing now, began deliberately suppressing the populations of Muslim Malays and Indians while actively and deliberately increasing that of the Chinese population.
The Chinese Singapore population has over the last 3 decades or so, been suffering from the lowest birth rate among the races, while the Malays had the highest followed by the Indians. Had matters been left to nature, Singapore would have had far more Malays than there are today, relatively speaking.
There is no doubt that Lee Kuan Yew family, who are ethnic Chinese, who continues to run Singapore since 1959 is openly and unashamedly racist who are prepared to do anything necessary however illegal to change Singapore into a complete and absolute Chinese city by importing disproportionally large numbers of ethnic Chinese from China to literally flood the island while at the same time placing a total ban on Malay immigrants and allowing only a trickle of Indians.
This is because the Malays have never really supported him and neither did the Indians who would have preferred a multi racial island with English language and Western style democracy which the Lee ruling family feels would be a threat to their continued dictatorial rule. They have never been admirers of democracy.
Today immigrants from China who have no knowledge of English or any skills whatsoever are permitted to immigrate purely to increase their numbers in the island to make sure that Singapore will be Lee Kuan Yew's Chinese city, not a multi racial city as the British and it's original population had hoped when they colonized Singapore.
It has to be said that transforming Singapore into a Chinese city by deliberately increasing the number of Chinese immigrants is a blatant violation of the Singapore Constitution which clearly mandates equality between the races. This is ethnic cleansing shamelessly conducted by the Lee ruling party to deliberately destroy the Malay and Indian populations in the island. In Bosnia they shot their Muslim neighbours. In Singapore they do it by importing foreign Chinese. This is ethnic cleansing, no less. The only difference is the manner in which it is done.
The government has said on many occasions in the past that they are determined to keep the population ratio as 75% Chinese 15% Malay and the balance Indian, even though nowhere in the Constitution is this ratio required or even allowed.
If indeed all races are to be treated equally under the law, this deliberate overwhelmingly large importation of Chinese immigrants is a clear violation of the Constitution.
Up till now, Singapore's Malay leaders such as the Singapore Democratic Party's Jufri Mehmood is clearly unhappy with this policy of racial discrimination against his people but have not been prepared to openly speak on this for fear of being branded Malay chauvinists or even worse being arrested under the Internal Security Act falsely accused of inciting racial unrest. As for the Indian leaders they have been so much intimidated into submission that no one single Indian leader can be identified or willing to be counted.
As we speak Singapore's Changi airport continues to ship in plane loads each day of these Chinese from Communist China thereby continuing to transform the island into a complete Chinese city.
Today, with Lee ruling family's great success in this illegal racial policy, original native born Indians have become almost non existent. Many of them have married Chinese women particularly to advance their careers in Lee's Chinese Singapore, where you have an alarming increase in their off spring with Indians names but who look completely Chinese. Most of them are unable to speak their native Indian language and for all intends and purposes are not Indians.
In addition, they are emigrating to the West at a much faster rate feeling a sense of abandonment by their own country and a realization that they have no prospects in the Lee ruling family's new Chinese Singapore.

A British teacher leaves Singapore in disgust
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I publish below a letter received from a British teacher who leaves her job in signapore in disgust. I have concealed her name and particulars at her request

Dear Mr Nair
I have been an avid follower of your website since my return from
Singapore in 2009. Please allow me to explain.
In ..............., as a newly qualified A Level Lecturer, thanks to the appaling
recession, bullying management and the continual changes in the UK education system, I was desperate to gain any teaching experience. Not fully understanding the political or social situation there, I applied to the Ministry of Education in Singapore.
In ................, my wife and I arrived at the shiny MOE building on North Bouna Vista Drive. I was appointed to a large Junior College, teachng A Level General Paper. Despite all the reassurances, it was apparent from day one that the system stinks.
Here's why:
1)The constant cynicism, regarding anything political, in the
staffroom and classrooms.
2) The mindnumbing bureacracy, which sapped the creativity and
inspiration from new teachers. Better to just conform and play the
'game'.
3) The total shambles of mismanagement...
4) The hypocricy, the racism, the sexism and the utter lies peddled by
PAP activists who entered the college, or members who were also
management.
I could go on, and if you would like further details, I will happily
provide them. Please consider one request. You may use anything I
provide for the website, but please keep my name, the subject and when
I was there secret. I really do fear for my former colleagues, if it
is revealed that I am passing information to you.
Please keep up the good work, Singapore has many wonderful and decent
people, who we still keep in touch with. It needs the same regime
change as seen in the Middle East. The truth wil out.
Yours sincerely
British Teacher

Singapore Minister for Education wants to build "character'' in students. An impossible task.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Singapore state controlled news media Channel News Asia of March 08, 2012 has this surprising story, given the island is run by the Lee ruling family, it's Minister for Education claims that he wants to instill "character" in students, see article "Minister outlines MOE's plans for holistic education"
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/print/1187853/1/.html
Given the fact that anyone with any character in the past have all gone to jail or branded as criminals, I mean men such as the late JB Jeyaretnam, Chee Soon Juan, exiled opposition politician Tang Liang Hong and Chia Tye Poh, it's longest standing political prisoner, one begins to wonder what this man means by "character".
Any objective observer would declare that Singapore's present role models are a bunch of rascals, devoid of even an iota of character by any reckoning. They have no character worth mentioning whatsoever.
Take Singapore's Chief Justice Chan Sek Kiong, someone ordinarily with some integrity, but in Lee's Singapore he is the complete reverse. He is a man who shamelessly abuses his office to further the interests not of the law but that of his boss the Lee ruling family. A complete yes man, no less.
Recall in 1997 his astonishing judgement where he declared Lee Kuan Yew and his friends innocent of any wrong doing under the Parliamentary Elections Act for being found within a polling station on voting day when even being found within 200 years of it would have already made them guilty. What he was saying is that Lee Kuan Yew is above the law.
If a man like this is supposed to have character under the Singaporean meaning, no mother who cares for her child should want any part of it.
Then you have role model citizen and lawyer Davinder Singh, Singapore's best civil lawyer, whose principle duty is to sue political opponents for defamation of character whom the Lee ruling family does not like and bankrupt them. This man disgraces himself and his profession. Is this the sort of character the Minister is trying to build?
Then we have the disgraced judge Belinda Ang Saw Ean who awarded damages of several hundreds of thousand dollars against Chee Soon Juan, jailing and bankrupting him through abusing her judicial office to please Lee Kuan Yew. Is this the sort of character he is looking for?
He makes these nonsensical statements in this report which indicates either that he does not know what Singapore is or he deliberately wants to insult our intelligence. He says "education must develop the whole person". True but what type of person have you in mind? Like the sort of the recently deceased Lee Kuan Yew yes man Attorney General Tan Boon Teik?
This statement about Singapore students is funny. He says students have to be able to "discern truths from untruths". What do you call Singapore's state controlled media such as this Channel News Asia? Is it true or propaganda? Should not the student be asking why there is no independent press throughout the island? Or will asking that question result in his being branded as lacking character?
He says developing the "whole child must begin with instilling the right character." But history has shown that in Singapore anyone who has actually shown any character has in fact not been appreciated but punished.
Take my own case in 2008. When I attended the Singapore High Court case of Lee Kuan Yew vs Chee Soon Juan, I found the judge Belinda Ang Saw Ean clearly abusing her office and denying Chee a fair trial. Since speaking out against injustice and dishonest judges such as this woman would ordinarily be the right action, I thought I was behaving honorably with "character" when I wrote that she was indeed a disgrace. Instead of being appreciated for character, I am in fact according to Singapore's Lee ruling family, nothing less than a criminal.
Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore Minister of Education should not be wasting his breath and insulting our intelligence about his project to do the impossible. It is like Hitler's Joseph Goebbels saying that he is going to make the Nazi youth have character. It is an impossible task.
I think Education Minister Heng Swee Keat should be honest at least once and say that "character" that Singapore is looking for is for one to forget one's principles altogether and think of enriching themselves any way they can. In order to do this they should join the Lee ruling family's political party and agree with everything they say regardless of what you personally felt.
If you spend sufficient time doing this, the Lee ruling family may recognize and appreciate your loyalty. And you may become another Ting Pei Ling, the youngest woman (more like a child really) who has recently got into Parliament and landed herself a very profitable career.
This is the Singaporean meaning of character. And this Minister would himself be showing character by not denying it.
