I read with utter disgust
PM Lee Hsien Loong's
letter of condolence
to the sons of
JB Jeyaretnam.
Here,
we have two sons
grieving
over the loss
of their father,
and all our prime minister
have to say,
was
"he sought by all means
to demolish the PAP
and our system of government.
Unfortunately,
this helped neither
to build up a
constructive opposition
nor our Parliamentary tradition"
Some letter of condolence.
This was condolence
like Singapore
is a democracy.
Singapore is as
democratic as
Zimbabwe.
Only our public toilets
are cleaner.
Mr Prime Minister sir,
you're about as sensitive
as silicon breast implants.
You just made Kim Jong Il
look like a polished diplomat.
You went on,
to talk about,
how your PAP government
ensured that
the sons of JB Jeyaretnam
were not prejudiced
in finding employment
in Singapore.
Right,
self glorification
about your compassion
in a letter of condolence.
You just proved
you're as compassionate
as Adolf Hitler.
The next time we complain
about Singaporeans being
an uncompassionate lot,
we know
it started from
the very top.
Our kids sing
on National Day,
there is no place else,
I'd want to be.
Maybe Zimbabwe
sounds nicer.
At least Robert Mugabe
does not pretend
to be democratic.

Today's papers reported.
Singapore's Olympic silver medal
winning table tennis team,
is quitting Singapore
to ply their trade
elsewhere.
Barely two months,
after winning the silver medal
and pocketing
Singaporean taxpayer's
$750,000
they decided to quit Singapore,
to ply their trade elsewhere.
Singapore Sports Minister said,
they may be China born,
but they played their hearts out
for Singapore.
Right.
Now, they're quitting.
Did they play their hearts out
for Singapore,
or for the prize money?
If indeed they played their
hearts out for Singapore,
how about giving us
the money back?
Nobody seems to remember,
they bitched and moaned
about paying income tax
on their prize money.
Yeah, they played their hearts out
for Singapore,
and after taking the money,
they won't pay tax,
won't give anything back.
These Singapore government guys
simply don't get it.
Perhaps they never will.
Singaporeans are Singaporeans.
No amount of money you throw
at a foreigner,
will turn him or her
into a Singaporean.
You just given them
a NRIC
and lots of money,
but you did not make them
a Singaporean.
Now our preparations
of London Olympics 2012
are all shattered,
because of a bunch of people
that this government said
played their hearts out

Spent the last 10 days
in Vietnam.
What a great time.
Had a lovely chat,
with my grandpa in law.
He is a REAL DUDE.
DA MAN....
He was suspected
of collabarating with
French and American imperialists.
The Viet Cong captured him
and tortured him.
Put him in a
squatting space only
bamboo cage.
He stayed there for months.
Ate in there, slept in there,
shit in there.
Beaten, stabbed,
branded with hot irons.
Refused to confess
to the bitter end.
All those who confessed
were subsequently
buried alive.
Grandpa in law
was a simple fisherman.
What the fuck he cares
about Marxism, socialism, capitalism, democracy???
The Vietcongs
terrorized the fishermen
in his village.
They came at night
demanding food and medicine
and sometimes shelter
for their wounded.
Would you dare to argue
against someone
with a loaded machine gun???
And for that,
the Americans
pounded his village
daily with bombs.
Cannon shells shot
over from the warships
destroying the village,
flattening all the houses.
Grandpa in law
dug a tunnel
under his house,
reinforced it with concrete.
To protect the family.
They will survive
near misses,
but not direct hits.
Neighbouring families
dugged into concrete reinforced
tunnels,
who got direct hits
from incoming cannon shells
were wiped out.
Fuck you Americans la.
If its the Viet Cong
you were looking for,
they've all ran
to the neighbouring mountains.
The small handful still hiding
in the village,
were mortally wounded
and not battle worthy.
But you Americans still
proceed your murderous
bombing campaign,
obliterating villages,
annihilating thousands
of innocent fishermen.
And today,
you fucking dare to
whine,
bitch,
moan
about 9-11 ?
For all the deaths
and sufferings
you caused
in Vietnam alone,
you deserve to have
at least a thousand more
9-11s !!!
You do not have
the moral authority
to even question,
why people hate Americans
so much!!!!
There is no other nation
more violent
and war mongering
than you guys!!!
I used to think
American citizens
are alright,
just unfortunate
to have a government
with a violent
and war mongering
foreign policy.
But you guys
voted a murderer
like George Bush,
not once,
but twice.
Don't ever whine
when the world hates you.
You deserve
every bit of misery
you get.
You're so lucky
people like grandpa in law
are too peaceful.
He still suffers nightmares
of of the war.
But he is just happy
to have survived
3 wars.
Trust me,
some people
are not so benign,
they will want
to get even.

There is just simply no end
to this Swingabore government bullshit.
Two Singaporean paraplegics
won a gold, a silver and 2 bronzes
in Paralympics.
And they get paid 1/10th
the amount
that was promised
to the Chinese table tennis players.
These Singaporeans,
overcame physical disability
and against insurmountable odds
went beyond their handicaps
and won for the country
of their birth.
And they get paid 1/10th
when they deserve to be paid
10 times more
and not 1/10th.
Fuck you la Swingabore.
Just because these
Singaporean paraplegics
are not your expensive
foreign talent programme
and they achieved
a whole lot more,
so you pay them
a whole lot less.
I try so hard
to think like the way
you do,

I was talking to my friend,
when suddenly we talked about
Dr Vivian Balakrishnan.
I wanted to talk about this guy
for a long time,
but he is such a forgetable
and laughable character,
I never got down to it.
I remembered early this year,
Dr Vivian talked about
wooing overseas Singaporeans
to come back.
Yeah right,
after years of
dictatorial oppression
by your PAP government,
driving out hundreds of thousands
of the smartest
and most talented Singaporeans
of my generation,
and now you want them back?
Just what do you have here?
Other than your
multi million dollar
minister salaries.
Can you afford to pay them
your kind of salaries?
Otherwise, what?
Do you think
they are hard up
for a smaller house here
than what they have there?
A smaller car here
than what they have there?
Why did they leave,
in the very first place?
Because its better
to have a say,
to have a voice
than forever live in fear
whenever you have
a dissenting voice.
Back home in Singapore,
we are all nothing but statistics
to our dictatorial government.
We have no say,
no voice.
We do everything we were told,
and the Lees do anything,
they feel like.
My friend Martyn See
made a movie "Singapore Rebel"
and kena hauled off
to the police station
being questioned
for hours.
And his film
got banned
and further warned
never to make another
similiar movie.
Does the talented overseas Singaporeans
want to live in your kind
of police state?
Maybe if you offer everyone
your kind of salary.
Having said that,
Dr Vivian,
please lah...
your youth days in NJC,
you were so anti-government.
Until you joined the government.
Yes, you sold your soul
for government money.
So throwing money
at talented overseas Singaporeans,
might just work.
Again, at the tax payer expense,
of Singaporeans
working their lives out
like a dog.
I remember
when you first joined the government.
You said,
you wanted to make a difference.
Please la,
you knew,
if you really wanted
to make a difference,
you would NOT
have joined the government

they raise tobacco taxes
in the name of
"discouraging smoking".
All well and good.
You win,

I'm trying to quit smoking.
But,
one question Sir,
if the government is trying
to discourage smoking
by imposing high tobacco taxes,
why the hell fuck
is the cost of nicotine gum
TWICE that of cigarettes?
If you really want to
"discourage smoking",
why didn't you subsidse
part of the cost
of giving up smoking,
using the hefty income
you made from
tobacco taxes?
Its so fucking easy
to expose
the fucking money grabbing
greed
of this fucking Swingabore government.

Yeah right.
They just happen

Tax payers money.
They did not come here
because they love laksa.
They did not come here

In fact they do

we were once young
naive and innocent.
now we're past middle aged,
past 40,
pushing 50 soon
like a tired old
bulldozer.
when was the last time,
we met?
did you say 15 years ago?
we've put on some weight
our hair is greying
our knees ache
i didn't know.
we shared our life stories
thrills and spills.
how we fell
and how we rose again.
but we always knew
we're still there
to have a laugh.
years apart
but yet
we were so
at ease
with each other.
its like as though
there were no years
in between.
you used to complete
my sentences
when I ran out
of words.
all these years later,
somehow we just knew
what each of us
would say,
even before we began
a sentence.
where are those years guys?
where have they gone to?
we were wild.
we were rebellious
we were angry
we didn't know why.
we thought
we were different.
but now we know
we were just stupid,
at least I was.
those are memories now
distant memories.
but because we remember,
we remain friends
dear to our hearts.
i forgot how
friendship used to be
so innocent.
we had nothing
we could use.
friendship was pure
with no monetary benefit.
networking was not invented
when you were in college.
So lets raise a glass
or two
as we talked
about our dreams
aspirations
failures
successes.
how our lives
diverged
and how we can still
pick up so easily
where we left off.
it made us laugh
it made us cry.
we lost all those years
drifting apart

again.

Have not written
for many months.
Since I moved office
and no longer have the luxury
of having the privacy
to write.
But I just have to,
say something
about what I just read.
Scientists estimate,
that the USA have
about 86 billion barrels
of crude oil,
that is still untapped.
Considering that the USA
consumes about 7.5 billion barrels
of crude oil annually,
that translates to about 12 years
of crude oil,
that is independent of Middle East supplies.
Yet, presidential candidate Barack Obama said,
"Offshore drilling would not lower gas prices today,
it would not lower gas prices next year,
and it would not lower gas prices 5 eyars from now"
Yes, it is true
that newly discovered reserves of oil,
takes a long time to deliver.
But that does not mean you don't drill now!!!
Drill for those 86 billion barrels now
for fuck's sakes!!!!
Just because drilling for oil now
does not give you its benefits
does not mean you don't drill!!!
And Senator Obama Sir,
I disagree with you.
If you drill for oil now,
gas prices will drop IMMEDIATELY!!!
Lets say it takes 10 years,
for your crude oil
to come online,
and supply USA
for another 12 years,
what do you think,
the oil producers of the world
will do now?
They will immediately
sell their crude oil
like motherfucks!!!!
Coz they know,
in 10 years,
you don't need their oil!!!
So they sell their oil now,
flood the market with supply,
drive prices down for 10 years.
After 10 years,
you don't need them for
another 12 years.
In total of 22 years,
I can bet,
the world will have
alternative fuel sources
anyway.
Drill now you
stupid American motherfucker.
You can save the entire world,
a lot of grief
from expensive oil prices,
which incidentally,
your Hummers and SUVs
helped created
in the first place.

and it would not lower gas prices 5 eyars from now"
Yes, it is true
that newly discovered reserves of oil,
takes a long time to deliver.
But that does not mean you don't drill now!!!
Drill for those 86 billion barrels now
for fuck's sakes!!!!
Just because drilling for oil now
does not give you its benefits
does not mean you don't drill!!!
And Senator Obama Sir,
I disagree with you.
If you drill for oil now,
gas prices will drop IMMEDIATELY!!!
Lets say it takes 10 years,
for your crude oil
to come online,
and supply USA
for another 12 years,
what do you think,
the oil producers of the world
will do now?
They will immediately
sell their crude oil
like motherfucks!!!!
Coz they know,
in 10 years,
you don't need their oil!!!
So they sell their oil now,
flood the market with supply,
drive prices down for 10 years.
After 10 years,
you don't need them for
another 12 years.
In total of 22 years,
I can bet,
the world will have
alternative fuel sources
anyway.
Drill now you
stupid American motherfucker.
You can save the entire world,
a lot of grief
from expensive oil prices,
which incidentally,
your Hummers and SUVs
helped created
in the first place.

Oh fuck,
just when I thought
I have nothing to do
on a Friday morning,
and looking forward
to the weekend,
I had to
just had to
read this fucking article
written by some fucking American
about how South East Asia
were once untouched
and forgotten paradises.
Critical
of how modern
and commercial
South East Asia
has become.
Blaming how
mass tourism
has ruined
or spoilt
these once untouched
paradises
of South East Asia.
Oh, get a fucking life
you motherfucker.
This is the reality of life now
you better get used to it.
Don't blame mass tourism,
modern civilisation
has accorded our people
with schools and education,
roads, ports, airports,
telecommunications, power supply,
clean water, advance medicine,
the infrastructure for modern life
to thrive on.
What is so mother fucking wrong with that?
Why put the blame on mass tourists?
As opposed to what?
Budget backpack tourists
of your fucking era?
Bringing a few dollars
to spend in a shoe string hostel,
and bringing along venereal diseases
and drugs?
South East Asia maybe living in
villages then,
but we sure as hell
can do without you
and your flower power hippee thrash.
For that matter,
why stop at old hippee
budget tourists?
Why not blame your
fucking colonial forefathers?
Why the fuck did they
come,
steal our land,
kill our men,
fuck our women?
South East Asia
was a greater paradise then.
Why don't you look
at your own fucked up country?
America was once
a beautiful paradise
of sweeping plains,
roaming buffaloes
great evergreen forests
and native Americans.
Why the fuck,
are you and your white thrash people
doing in America?
Why don't you guys all
go back to Europe
where you belong,
return America to
its rightful people,
the native Americans,
and turn America
back into a paradise
of sweeping plains
roaming buffaloes
great evergreen forests?
South East Asia is not ruined,
it has merely changed,
probably for the better.
If you're not gonna complain
about how America
is no longer a paradise,
just shut the fuck up
about our country.

Just got back
from Shanghai.
That country is so amazing.
The scale of that economy
defied that little brain
of mine.
4 years ago,
driving along Pudong,
I saw thousands and thousands
of new condominums
with occupancy rate
of at most 10-15%.
My immediate analysis
was
OVERSUPPLY.
This property market
will crash.
But this time,
those same condominums
are like 99% occupied.
Even more amazing,
I can see its mostly
local Chinese
that are living
in those condos.
I could tell
by the underwear,
bras and panties
hanging by the windows.
It was 10 deg so
the windows were all closed
and they hung their laundry
by the windows
to get some sunlight.
Its stunning
how the size of this economy
could just absorb such supply
and still demand more.
Such a housing situation
would have sent Singapore
into a housing slump
needing decades
to recover.
Our last housing slump,
lasted 9 years.
When I walked around
Old Shanghai,
I did not like it
at first.
Just outside YuYuan,
I felt it was no more
than a fakey Disneyland type
of tourist trap.
Fake old buildings
and salesgirls peddling
fake cultural souvenirs
wearing fake chongsams.
And then I looked around
and realised,
about 95% of Shanghai's tourists
are Mainland Chinese
from other parts of China!!!
Such is this newly created wealth
and the scale of it
is just mind boggling.
Foreigners need not participate
they find it easier and faster
to sell to cash rich Chinese.
The last time I was
at Park 97 disco,
the place was teeming
with angmor men
and local chinese girls
throwing themselves
at them.
Now,
the angmor men
won't even get a look.
The locals were busy
partying
and boozing off
expensive whisky bottles.
Singapore is such
a backward place
by comparison.
Wife found
the grandmother
of factory outlets.
Right on the outskirt
of Shanghai,
with about 240
branded boutiques
and cash rich Mainlanders
walking around with bags
and bags of loot,
typically speaking
so loudly.
I felt like a poor loser
from Singapore,
making mental calculations
on the discount.
And of course,
the 431 kmph Maglev,
the fastest train
in the world.
It was a train ride
worthy of an orgasm.
The Germans built it
for China,
but they don't have
the money to build it
in Germany
although they have
the technology.
They must have thought,
the chinese were stupid
to pay for their technology
and build a train
that runs just 8 minutes
to the airport.
But just watch,
in a few years,
you will see
Chinese made Maglevs
running all over
China.
Not only that,
they will export
these trains too.
Just watch.

You asked,
just why do I hate Singapore so much?
You're so wrong.
I love Singapore.
I love this country,
thats why I raise issues
because I hope to see
a change.
If I don't give a shit,
I would not have bothered.
If Singapore is so good
in your eyes,
what is wrong
with someone like me
wanting to make it
even better?
If I speak
in the broadest sense,
my biggest dissatisfaction,
arises from my feeling
of being disenfranchised
by my own country.
I do not have a say,
my people do not have a say
in anything that goes on
in our own country.
From my previous rant,
about the overcrowded MRTs.
Its a common complaint,
but the ruling elite
will just throw in some statistics
and everybody shuts up.
I feel like building a cage
1 metre square,
and invite 6 MPs
in Parliament
including the Transport Minister
to cram into it
and stay there for 30 minutes.
Since I do not
the highest paid politicians
in the world,
to ever step inside
an MRT
in peak hours.
They tell us,
we need a population
of 6.5 million people,
without explaining
how the existing infrastructure
is going to cope.
We do not have a say
about immigration policies,
what sort of foreign talent
will they invite.
When I look around,
I only see the foreign,
not the talented.
Its the entire unquestioning system
that started from Minister Mentor Lee
and perpeptuated by Prime Minister Lee.
They decide
we all follow.
I suspect,
the Lee family considers
Parliamentary sessions
as a waste of time too,
just putting up a charade
so we can tell the world
we are a democracy.
We are not a democracy.
We are a dictatorship
acting as a democracy.
All policies
are determined
by the ruling elite.
And clearly,
in the formulation
of these policies,
the citizens
like you and me
are not considered
at all.
I see old men
staring quietly
into their beers
at the kopi tiams.
I see struggle written
on their faces.
I see their miserable
and demeaning existence.
Does anybody care?
And when I protest,
you ask me to migrate.
Just who the hell fuck
you think you are,
to deserve the right
to ask me to migrate
away from the country
of my birth?
This is precisely
the government attitude
towards its people.
The hotel checkin and checkout
attitude.
It can apply
to foreigners
with no vested interests here.
But nobody,

This motherfucking country.
When we complain of
overcrowded trains,
some fucking transport minister
throws us some fucking statistic
like SMRT average of
4 passengers per square metre
as compared to 6 passengers
per square metre in other cities.
And
our trains average passenger load
is 1200 passengers
although the engineering limit
is 1800 passengers.
Thank You Mr Transport Minister.
One question Sir.
Just when is the last time,
you took a fucking MRT train?
Have you ever
had your foreign talent's armpit
thrust into your face
on your fucking MRT train?
Have you ever
stood on your fucking MRT train
with no handrails to hold?
And many others around you,
have nothing to hold on to?
Do you know how fucking dangerous
that is?
If your fucking MRT train
have to make an emergency stop?
Do you need a fatal accident,
to listen?
How do you feel,
when your wife or daughter,
have to fold their arms
in order not to have their tits molested
because of your
fucking overcrowded MRT trains?
Let's take a look,

Let's look at your profits first.
2004 nett $89.5 million profit
2005 nett $126.7 million profit
2006 nett $103.4 million profit
2007 nett $135.4 million profit
Now, let's look at your percentage passenger growth.
2003 1.2%
2004 (0.7%)
2005 2.8%
2006 2.8%
2007 5.1%
Overall, the passenger growth

2004 77.4 million km
2005 75.1 million km
2006 75.5 million km
2007 77.1 million km
Clearly, the frequency of

Prayers of anguish

Did you hear Mum

How can we say goodbye

We dreamt
that you are tough

give you education,
you'd be a gangster chief.
All we could do
is say we love you,
beneath the grainy black and white

as you did 3 vertical jumps.
All we could do
is to cry in vain
