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 Fuck Off

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,

I repeat nobody.

Have a right

to ask me or you

to get lost.

Not even Lee Kuan Yew

and especially not you.

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,

at your fucking SMRT financial reports.

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

on your fucking MRT train

is growing at a compounded rate.

Now lets look at your

car kilometres spanned.

2003 89.6 million km

2004 77.4 million km

2005 75.1 million km

2006 75.5 million km

2007 77.1 million km

Clearly, the frequency of

fucking MRT trains

have DECREASED

while your passenger growth

have INCREASED

and your nett profits

have INCREASED!!!!

When you show us some

fucking statistic,

show us some other

fucking statistic,

you motherfucker
