Assassination attempt on Donald Trump
I strongly condemn the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the United States Republican presidential candidate.
Singapore is a relatively safe place but we live in an unsafe world and people resort to violence for all sorts of reasons, still, whatever it is, it cannot be tolerated much less when weapons that are potentially fatal are used.
Many people might have forgotten by now but we in Singapore do have our share of attacks on politicians too.
In 2011, pap MP for Yio Chu Kang constituency Seng Han Thong (SHT) was poured thinner and set alight by a disgruntled resident who was not selected for financial handouts for needy elderly as revenge. His face, neck and back were burnt.
Even earlier in 2006, the same SHT was punched in the face by a 74 years old taxi driver for not helping him get his revoked licence reinstated.
Both cases involved money and the latter case involved the livelihood of an elderly cabby. I repeat, the latter case involved the livelihood of a 74 years old cabby!
I wonder how many of us bothered or could empathise with the plight of that 74 years old taxi driver, however, I want to make it clear that I am not condoning or defending the action of that old cabby. What he did was definitely wrong. Period.
Times are hard for more and more people in Singapore due much to the greed and mediocre performances of the pap government. I do not see much respite for the majority of our citizens going forward. Once those CDC vouchers and cash handouts taper off, the cost of living bites will be painful and lasting for many fellow citizens.
I do not advocate or support violence but I do want our know how to pay themselves million dollars political salaries leaders to be able to truly feel how growing numbers of our struggling fellow citizens feel and fear going forward living in the world's most expensive country.
Please do not ask them to eat cakes.
Think.

Compared to this and even our closest neighbours,Sgporeans are very GRACIOUS AND HARMLESS.
HOWEVER,however,WITH MORE PRs and newly minted “$itizens”,the scenario might gradually change.
Peoples who take up “re$idency” and/or “$itizenship” here in recent times do so for “CONdusive” economic benefit$ which are obtained at many a good sg’s grave expense owing to distorted govt policies.
Once such “benefit$” are seen to be “withdrawn” ,either via policies or otherwi$e,SUCH RESIDENTS/NEW $ITIZENS may not take kindly and RESORT TO VIOLENCE “THRY” ARE SO EXPOSED TO in their OWN MOTHERLANDS where THEY came from.
It took us,TRUBLUs,more than 50 years of INTER-MINGLING IN CULTURE,LANGUAGE,RELIGION AND EVEN HARDSHIP TO ARRIVE AT WHERE WE ARE.
BUT,IT WILL TAKE A MUCH SHORTER TIME TO DISMANTLE ALL THE GOODWILL we HAD BUILD.
ALREADY,”BIG” CRACKS ARE SURFACING.
Even once good sgs are not as gracious to fellow trublu sgs as before.
You see young sgs deriding and even bullying elderly sgs openly.
What are our $cholar-gahmen thinking ?
Probably,just “group-thinking” about HOW TO COLLECT MORE MONEY…AND $quandering on themselves n “alien$” or on buying llies for younger sgs to appease them and letting older sgs to perish by the wayside’s cracks or pothole$?
To borrow from Trumpy,Lawrence,sir,PLEASE MAKE SG “GOOD” ONCE MORE…

Trump has too many enemies. Trump is a unscrupulous businessman who suck dry on customers and workers to make big profit and escape taxes. He talk about saving money on Europe and low tax for rich as a president which is his true character. He save money on others and make himself rich as a businessman because he is not the one hurt and feel nothing when other are hurt. Trump is a very selfish man and profiteer. Jedi are enemies of this type of Sith Lords. It is normal Jedi want to bring balance to universe as guardians of peace and justice. Shadow Kings are also enemies of Trump. Illuminati: New World Order cards has a card for Trump which want to shut him up. It seem the deep state also are against Trump. Covid-19 happen during Trump is not an event of coincidence. The world is controlled by hidden forces and they are enemies of Trump. So even Trump become president, Trump is going to face many terrible catastrophic event with America like financial crisis, deep recession. If America elect Trump again as president, I think it will not be good for America. Goodbye America then, disobedience children will not go unpunished.

There were many attacks.
AR15 was the latest.
There was another attack using a special prosecutor.
Simon only see blood then call it attack.
How about using laws to attack? Luckily for Trump, there was a judge who called out the illegal attack and saved him from jail. There has never been a candidate in jail running for President.

Simon, do you condemn this also? Please share with us your deep thinking.
In a video podcast published by Tatar Inform news outlet on Sunday, the cleric, Imam Timur Kamaev, attempted to explain a passage in Islam’s main religious text, the Quran, regarding disciplining disobedient wives, the Surah An-Nisa 34. He said that the process should come in stages, with “those women whose rebellion you fear” to first be “admonished” verbally, then barred from the marital bed and then “beaten.” When asked to clarify the last part, Kamaev said it refers to light blows which would not cause injury.
“For example, there is such a thing as a miswak, which is a small stick [for brushing teeth]. You can gently hit your wife a couple of times with it – moving your hand from the elbow, not from the shoulder,” the imam suggested, adding that through this, the wife “must understand that she is doing something wrong.”

The bullet put the elephant in the bullseye of the limelight. The donkey could only stand aside and watch the show with nothing much to say.
This signifies the extreme polarisation of the country. The polarisation is definitely the result of the political system they have chosen and wanted to promote as universal suffrage.
To hell with it, the American system!

Between 1861 and 1865,USA fought a bloody civil war, causing a death toll amounting to a few hundred thousand young people.
For too long, the present days USA has been fighting another civil war, without using firearms so far.
This is the war of ideologies, mass media, finance and social media.
After the bullets aiming at DT were fired, the comments in the social media were phenomenal. In a glimpse, the enormous amount of comments are divided into two camps, one support the right and the other, the left.
The divide is profound with little hope of reconciliation. Would one day the conflict between the left and right accentuate into using firearms causing the USA be divided into the Right America and the Left America?
Nothing is impossible!

There will always be people who think violence will solve the problem without seeing the bigger picture of being arrested, charged and jailed/caned. 40% aren’t happy with pay and pay but not many will actually carry out a physical attack on any of their MP/minister. And this is where social media comes into play as people can vent their frustrations online which is the next best thing loh.
End of the day it’s an election that determines a party’s fate. Should more of the 60% wake up in the next election we might well see you know who lose a lot more seats than they planned for. See how it goes lah.

That is not China system. It was the fight on China’s land between two imported ideologies from the West.

@ China Too Happy for Man-date
Sure or not.
Not according to the world happiness report 2024.
https://www.visualcapitalist.com/a-map-of-global-happiness-by-country-in-2024/
Sg rank 30 just for info.
Lets ignore the report. As there will be changes yearly.
Malaysia total population 34 millions people. One of the top 10 places for retirement. Everybody in Malaysia happy ?
Use knee to think also know impossible right. As the chinese saying 人生不如意十之八九. Let alone 1.4 billion people.
According to NK gov, their country should be the most “happy” one. Yet their people run road.
Latest their senior diplomat also run road. Another official also run road with Kim’s 30 million USD funds.

From Google:
Are Ipsos polls reliable?
Ipsos is consistently named among the most accurate pollsters of U.S. Elections.
Is Gallup Poll reliable?
Poll analyst Nate Silver found that Gallup’s results were the least accurate of the 23 major polling firms Silver analyzed.

@ Wowoone wowotwo killed how many people? Everything western!
World war and civil war different topics.
Yeah including the fork and spoon you makan at hawker stall or coffeeshop. You prefer to bring your own chopstick is it or the chinese soup spoon ? Takeaway food you will bring your own banana leaf or your chinese ceramic or porcelain mug or bowl or whatever instead of the takeaway disposable styrofoam boxes.
Hairstyle you prefer to shave head keep pig tail or keep long hair and tied it up. Instead of Aircon and motor fan you prefer manual fanning by hand. You travel you prefer to ride horses or run or walk instead of automobiles or trains ?
Make sure you swear and walk your talk. So yes ! To hell with it, the western systems!

Yes, as stated “Ipsos is consistently named among the most accurate pollsters of U.S. Elections”. The statement point to US Elections accuracy only. Thats one subject only. Does it mean all subjects being survey inaccurate ?
And Sg is still in the Ipsos list, ranked 21 above Malaysia, Japan and S Korea. Btw, 2023 is over. How about 2024 results ?
Anyway I did mention, lets ignore the report as it varies yearly.
Also depend on the sets of criteria chosen to carry out the survey.
If China is “truly” happy and you buy into it. Very simple, please all in your monies into their stock market to show your confidence. Tio boh ?
