This is not a game of cardsThis is not a game of cards I can appreciate parties wanting to hold their cards close to their chest, but the smoke and mirrors games on nominations day, the shuffling of the DPM from a seat he had openly been declared to be defending, and other ministers shuffling constituencies leaves one feeling the PAP thinks it is playing a game of cards. Constituency...

我们是否该重新思考国防开支的优先顺序?

我们是否该重新思考国防开支的优先顺序?

新加坡政府近日宣布将采购两艘额外的“无畏级”潜艇,引发了一个重要问题:我们的国防力量,到底需要多强? 毫无疑问,一个强大且可信的军队对于保障国家主权与威慑潜在威胁是不可或缺的。新加坡地处战略要冲,国土面积有限,因此需要一支现代化的武装部队。然而,当我们对比邻国——马来西亚拥有两艘潜艇、印尼正逐步扩展至十二艘——新加坡在水下战力上已处于领先地位。这不禁让人质疑,我们是否正引领着一场无声的区域军备竞赛? 问题在于:当威慑的需求被满足后,继续扩军是否已经超出必要? 一艘“无畏级”潜艇的估价超过十亿新元,还不包括长期的运营与维护成本。这两艘新潜艇的资金,若能转用于迫切的民生需求,例如医疗保健、老龄化支援、教育及弱势群体扶助,或许对社会的整体韧性更具意义。 政府一再强调国防开支是经过审慎规划的,但当生活成本日益上升,政府却仍需将消费税(Gst)提高至9%甚至更多,这种矛盾不禁令人困惑。如果某些战略性国防项目能够延后或循序推进,节省下来的资源是否可以用于社会发展呢? “全面防卫”不仅仅是硬件实力,更是要赢得人民的心与信任。让人民感到安心、有保障、受到重视,这种安全感无法靠潜艇来衡量,而是通过每一位国人的生活实感体现出来。 这并非是在呼吁削弱我们的国防,而是呼吁我们重新思考国家的优先事项。当我们继续推进军事现代化的同时,也不要忽视同样重要的任务——巩固社会契约、增强国民凝聚力。   Cwc-Ai

2025大选—明确授权,变化中的政治格局

2025大选—明确授权,变化中的政治格局

2025年大选结果无可争议,政府再次赢得了强有力的授权,稳固了其在新加坡政治格局中的主导地位。尽管选举结果并不令人意外,但胜利的过程却并非没有争议和复杂性。 值得注意的是,选区划分的变化在本次选战中发挥了重要作用。陈清木医生与徐顺全医生等资深反对派人物,因选区重划而受到显著影响——传统支持基础被分割或并入他区,无疑左右了某些关键选区的最终结果。虽然选区调整在新加坡选举历史上并不罕见,但其公平性与透明度仍持续引发讨论。 工人党虽稳守东北区的传统堡垒,但未能在本届大选中攻下新的选区。不过,该党仍获得两个非选区议员(Ncmp)席位,虽属安慰性质,却在象征意义上维持了国会内多元声音的存在。 更值得关注的是,本届大选所处的人口背景正经历剧烈变化。新加坡人口从2000年的约300万增长至2025年的超过500万。考虑到多年来出生率持续偏低,这一增长几乎可以肯定主要归因于移民流入,尤其可能在华人群体中增长显著。这一趋势对国家的社会结构和政治生态产生了深远影响。 展望2030年大选,各政党不仅要面对一如既往的选区调整与突发的全球事件,更需正视一个不断演变的社会结构。随着越来越多新移民成为国民,选民构成日益多元,政党在政策制定与信息传递上必须更具包容性与前瞻性。他们必须同时争取老一代公民与新加坡新公民的认同,回应共同关切,并跨越代际与文化差异的鸿沟。 在新加坡持续向前迈进的过程中,其政治也必须与时俱进——反映日益多元的人口现实,同时坚守国家的核心价值观:团结、韧性与务实。 Cwc-Ai

Deadly mRNA Vaccines

Deadly mRNA Vaccines

When there are 5 deaths due to adverse reactions to a vaccine, the mass vaccination must stop. The autopsies are done on the corpses to ascertain the causes of the fatalities. Unfortunately, the mass vaccination continues as if nobody died! Please read the Straits Times report entitled 'Covid-19 vaccination bookings for P3 to 5 pupils to open next week if doses arrive as scheduled.' [LINK] Indeed, the so-called mRNA 'vaccines' for children have arrived in Singapore. The article in the Straits Times states the following. The expert committee on Covid-19 vaccination has said the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks posed to young children. These are some relevant questions. A) What are the benefits of these so-called 'vaccines'? Do the manufacturers of these vaccine products guarantee that the people who are jabbed with their products will not suffer any short-term and long-term adverse reactions to the human body? C) Do the manufacturers of these products guarantee that nobody will die as a result of their products? D) Is it correct to say that there are healthy children, adults and even athletes who have died after being jabbed with the mRNA so-called 'vaccines'? E) It it true that the patients and the families of those who suffered COVID-19 adverse reactions or death cannot claim any monetary compensation from the vaccine manufacturers? F) Why is the mass vaccination for children proceeding when the trials have just started in the KK Women's and Children's Hospital? G) If a child in Singapore suffered adverse reactions or even death, will the mass vaccination for children be halted? H) Can the parents or guardians decide not to jab their children? Hopefully, the MOE and MOH can reply quickly.   * Facebook post by Francis Thia.      Read More →

What is wrong with the COP?

What is wrong with the COP?

It is a pain to watch the examinations of Ms Loh Pei Ying and Ms Raeesah Khan by Minister Edwin Tong and his team. While they try to appear fair, polite, understanding, patient and even sympathetic to the witnesses, it is not difficult to see that all of them were not trying to ascertain facts but were looking for slip ups and words that would make the leaders of the Workers’ Party look bad and set the witnesses on a war path with the leaders of the party. It is evident that their line of questioning and suggestions are intended to inflict maximum damage on its leadership. The committee’s hypocrisy is shown from the speed at which their first Special Report was published - on 3 December 2021 or soon after the evidence of the first batch of three witnesses (Ms Loh Pei Ying, Ms Raeesah Khan and Mr Yudhishthra Nathan were taken. In paragraph 6 of the report, the committee arrived at this decision: “After hearing the above witnesses, the Committee resolved to make the entire video recording of their evidence available to Parliament and thereby to the public through the Parliament website.” If the committee have an iota of consideration for the witnesses, especially Ms Raeesah Khan, they would not have made the video recordings public for audiences not only in Singapore but all over the world. Further, what and where is the urgency for such an interim report to be made public when other witnesses who they intend to call have not testified? I am exceedingly disappointed by the action of the so called “fact finding” objective of the Committee of Privileges. Totally devoid of understanding and empathy (though Minister Edwin Tong kept repeating “I understand” during the proceedings), they have savaged Ms Raeesah Khan, a victim of a sexual assault. It is hypocritical to continuously use this phrase "victim of sexual assault" and pretend that it would alleviate the trauma of the victim when by their actions, they have aggravated the trauma of the victim. What they should have done was to keep the proceedings within the chambers and publish in written form at the appropriate time as they have done in past proceedings. PAP ministers are not known for being compassionate to opposition political parties. If they have an opportunity to score political points, they would do their utmost. This means employing means that may not be fair or even contrary to the rules of the game, in this case, parliament. And this is what they have done. On 4 October 2021, Ms Raeesah Khan was subjected to threats by Minister Shanmugam after she refused to disclose information he requested. He threatened that the police would contact her for “an interview”. The police naturally obeyed the Minister and followed up by email requests. All these appear in the police statement annexed to the Special Report. The minister knew full well when he made the threat that a lie uttered in parliament should be rectified in parliament as it is privileged. Why did he make the threat and instruct the police to investigate Ms Raeesah Khan? Is he taking advantage of Ms Raeesah Khan’s lack of experience and ignorance? As a minister for law and home affairs, I do not expect such conduct from him. Finally, I am not amused at the speaker, Tan Chuan Jin’s repeated assurance at the end of the taking of evidence of each witness. Why did he tell each of them “… Do note that the transcript and any evidence given to the committee are not to be disclosed to anyone, not to be published and kept strictly confidential until the committee has presented it report to parliament which means that you are not to discuss this with anyone else and would include your family as well.” Are committee members robots? Do they know what they themselves have done by making the proceedings public even before its conclusion?   Teo Soh Lung      Read More →

Do you have the capital to take the gamble?

Do you have the capital to take the gamble?

Click to enlarge The following is a comment posted by our in-house techie Andrew, who is based in China, in response to an article by one of our columnist Mr David See, titled "Just How Safe is Covid-19 vaccination for young children?". The team felt that it is a very insightful comment that warrants more exposure, so we have decided to escalate it to an editorial. Quoted below is our techie's original comment (edited slightly for clarity), with ending paragraphs inserted by the team: We all know that vaccination carries risk and that the mRNA vaccines can cause serious adverse reactions AND even death (ref: Vietnam & USA). So for the purpose of discussion, let us assume that the risk is very very minimal, say at 0.1%. Eligible children aged 5 - 11 is approximately 300,000. 300,000 x 0.1% = 300 will be seriously injured or die. Give a further deeper discount at say 0.01%, there will still be 30 who will be seriously injured or die. So the million-dollar question which I will ask is: Can any parents risk/afford their child to be within that 0.01%? Maybe for that handful of die-hard Party Above People worshippers, I doubt any parents in the world would want their child to be in the 0.1% or maybe even 0.01%. Remember that losing a beloved child bites you for LIFE, it’s not something that can be replaced by monetary compensation or with another child, even if the grieving parents eventually decide to have another. Even in China, I have seen and witnessed many families being torn apart ending in divorce when they lost their child in an accident and/or suicide. Some parents (especially mothers) even went bonkers, very few can really move on after the loss of a beloved child, it is not a pain that any normal person can bear, it will haunt you for the rest of your life, trust me. IMHO, this is one gamble any sane and responsible parents should NOT take. To the clowns at MTF, your child is only a digit, a means for them to feel and look good on the world stage, but to you as parents, it is your LIFE, your WORLD, your EVERYTHING! It is all parents' inherent duty to protect their child, as one reader aptly puts it, "I can lose my life gambling with the vaccine, but certainly NEVER my child's". In the event that you decides to gamble with your child's life, despite the numerous recommendations against the mRNA vaccine on children by medical experts, for better or for worse you would have to to live with that decision for the rest of your life. Appended to our techie's question, we would like to ask if there are any parents who think that they have the capital to take the gamble, even if the odds of losing is only 0.01%?   Disclaimer by our techie: For the record again, I am not against vaccination, just against those vaccines that have not been fully tested (experimental), i.e. mRNA ones. My ENTIRE in-laws’ family, including relatives are fully vaccinated (with Sinovac), with the exception of a cousin who is breastfeeding (doctor at the hospital vaccination center refused to let her vaccinate), me (specialist doctor say I cannot vaccinate) and my wife (choose not to vaccinate, say if kenna we can both die together).        Read More →
