Cats in HDB

A proposed move by the government to allow HDB households to own up to 2 cats is in the work. If it passes, it would reverse a 34 years ban on keeping cats in HDB flats. I am against allowing HDB households owning cats. Let me explain. I quote from HDB's own website, 'cats are generally difficult to contain within the flat as they are naturally curious creatures. When they are allowed to roam about, they shed fur and urinate in public areas. They also cause a nuisance by making caterwauling sound which can inconvenience neighbors'. Currently, those who keep a cat in the flat are liable to a fine of up to $4,000/ under the HDB (Animals) Act. The above 2 paragraphs are self explanatory enough. The firm decision from allowing owning cats is unpopular among a small minority of cat loving people but it is in the wider interest for the rest of society. Reversing this 34 years old ban is another clear example of how a weak pap government yields pressure to a very persistent and vocal minority. Talks of microchipping cats and urging cat owners to behave in a responsible manner lalala...are at best self illusion and self deceiving and at worse, educated idiots' decisions at their finest. I ask loudly if allowing the keeping of cats in highly dense living condition in Singapore is tolerable and trouble free, why didn't the then PM Goh CT or even the late MM allowed it much sooner when the same people and organisations appealed and appealed and appealed..? Unless and until cat owners could conviencely prove that microchipped cats will become less curious creatures, will not shed fur, urinate in public areas and will not cause nuisance by making caterwauling sound, then I appeal strongly to this weak pap government not to give in to the vocal minority cat lovers' demand to allow keeping of up to 2 cats per household. If the proposed move comes to pass, I foresee needless tension developing among neighbours, cats being poisoned, cats being kicked when no one is watching and cats being thrown down from high floors and more.

The dead elephant in the room

How many people have died after taking the novel mRNA vaccine? Governments seem not to know and certainly do not wish to know. The few brave souls who tried to come forth to share what they know have quickly found themselves treated as pariahs by governments gone mad. Examples: Dr Reiner Fuellmich (see my old blog "The greatest grand jury in human history") who worked on the "Second Nuremberg Project", has been arrested by German authorities on October 12 on charges of sedition. A week ago, Lieutenant Ted Macie, an active-duty officer in the US Navy Medical Service Corps and whistleblower, exposed Defense Department Data showing myocarditis up by 151%, heart failure by 973% amongst pilots following Covid-19 vaccination. Macie has now been barred from accessing his work computer by the Department of Defense. Liz Gunn, ex-TV personality and firebrand fringe politician in New Zealand, last week presented someone she claimed to be a whistleblower under pseudonym Winston Smith who claimed to have real data from Ministry of Health which showed devastating high rate of vaccine deaths hidden from public. The police raided her house yesterday. Winston Smith claimed to be engaged by New Zealand Ministry of Health as the sole data administrator for a system he coded for the government to capture information regarding payments to people who agreed to be vaccinated. It seems there was a get-paid-for-vaccination programme. The system captures information including deaths. According to Smith, 1 out of every 4 who received vaccination died shortly after. It seems Winston Smith's real name is Barry Young and he is an Oracle database specialist. Immediately after Liz Gunn presented him, the government terminated his employment. Yesterday police raided his home and he has been arrested. For the moment, details are not yet forthcoming. In my opinion, the 25% death rate seems too tall a tale if it refers to an average. I remain wary of his claim. But a police raid and arrest for some wild claims like this is highly unusual and very disconcerting. It's a developing story. In October I published my blog "Vaccine Scam Is Busted But Government Plays On" which got taken off the platform by Google due to complaints that it breached community guidelines on misleading content. I had blogged about Singapore having the highest quarterly excess death rate in the world for the last 4 quarters. That was fact which cannot be POFMA'd thus it had to be taken down. It is a fact that all over the world, countries are experiencing massive excess deaths never seen before. For 2020-2022, governments attributed excess deaths to combination of Covid itself and the lockdown prevented many with underlying health issues unable to seek medical care early. These may be acceptable reasons although without empirical evidence. However, 2 years after severe lockdowns, the only factor remaining that offers statistical significance is the mRNA novel vaccines. The introduction of these vaccines is accompanied by high excess deaths. Is there causation with this relationship? Yet governments remain unmoved to check into this, and indeed, the push for booster jabs continues unabated. The disquiet is governments do have the data on persons who were vaccinated and died. It may well be some people vaccinated but died of other unrelated causes. With governments unwilling to make public such data, distrust is now the currency of the day. Vaccines are contained in vials and packed in trays. There are mostly 975 vials to each tray. They are delivered in batches. Batch size varies. The batches are uniquely serialised for control purposes and receiving health authorities have responsibilities for complying with a reporting loop, thus ensuring critical data traceable back to batch numbers are available. These are operating standards and there is no reason that novel mRNA vaccines are treated differently. The question is, where is this treasure-trove of batch data kept? Novel mRNA vaccines were manufactured under emergency situation. Certain stringent quality control protocols were waived. Consequently there has been product contamination, dose concentration errors, and inconsistency in ingredient composition and toxicity levels. Vials are diluted at vaccination centres for specific age groups calling into question contamination and errors at point of use. All these issues have been whistleblown, admitted, and documented. There are 'conspiracy theories' these mRNA vaccine batches have been differentiated to achieve certain outcomes with certain targeted population, and some batches are saline solution for preferred population. What all these mean is if ever there is a batch data, the 'bell curve' chart is bound to show a wide width. So is there a batch report somewhere? For US, there is the VAERS report but this is notoriously under-reported due to (1) difficult form filling making hospital administration less inclined to bother, and (2) under-table incentivised scheme to report deaths due to Covid. As at 1 December 2023, VAERS reported 9,363 batches with 25,201 deaths making an average of 3 fatalities per batch. 25,201 deaths cannot explain US excess deaths of 300,000-400,000 in 2022. VAERS report seems very unrealistic. In my "Vaccine scam is busted" blog, Singapore's 30% quarterly excess death rate for the last 4 quarters has never been queried and certainly never explained by MOH. The positive relationship of vaccination to high excess death is crystal clear. It is a worldwide phenomenon and we need to study if there is causation. The inertia by governments to admit the data and take action supports the suspicion of an international design to suppress the true status for whatever the ultimate purpose. According to Ministry Of Health, there have been only two cases in Singapore of death caused by the novel vaccines. The last case was a 43-year-old Philippines national who received her booster dose of Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine on 9 December 2021 and passed away on 13 December 2021, her death was certified as myocarditis. Her family in Philippines were paid $225,000 out of the Vaccine Injury Financial Assistance Programme (VIFAP) in January 2023. For super efficient Singapore, it is unbelievable that the MOH does not have a database of the vaccination exercise cross linked to death statistics. One can appreciate the coroner is not wont to attribute death due directly to vaccines, but the phenomenon of sudden death syndrome is upon us and there is no way to hide. Statistics on deaths of the cohort of vaccinated can certainly help increase some understanding. By now, an army of scholars from Singapore Inc surely would have poured over the data and analysed it to death. In fact it would be remiss of Health Minister Ong YK if he has not commissioned a study. Is it a case of no data, no analysis, no hue, no whistleblower? In a coming blog, I will highlight a study made by Danish government from which many interesting conclusions can be drawn. The point is, in Singapore, No study, Know nothing. Patrick Low Read More →
