TR EMERITUS

I know a lot of you have slowly become very doubtful of the jab and the Promise that it will get us out of the pandemic, stop transmission, stop infections, stop long Covid, stop hospitalization, stop death. I believe you have been seeing and hearing so many friends, associates, family members, relatives and news about people dropping dead suddenly or suffering from unusual aggressive illness or Cancer. You are most probably feeling extremely Anxious about it when you recall your own unusual ailments surfacing in your body after taking the jabs. I also see a lot of you starting to shut off from discussions and mentions of all the potential adverse side effects (1291 of them). It is understandable for human beings to avoid information which may prove something devastating towards ourselves. Many of you have put up a brave front by giving a lot of excuses of not going for your next jab but deep down, you know it's the PURE FEAR of Worst outcome that may haunt you forever that is telling you not to take the next jab. Well, you may agree with me that even many of the PAP Ministers, MPs, members and IBs are not taking their next jab, so why should you? However, that is not enough as a human being to be passive about it. It's not only a broken promise but a disastrous promise. You have to speak up and tell those in power and people around you, you no longer trust the jab and it should not carry on. The fact that you are still alive even though with some chronic symptoms that keep haunting you every now and then, is a blessing as well as an important signal to you to do what is right. As long as you stop taking your next jab, you will be safe and not exposed to additional risks. As long as your loved ones and people around you stop risking their lives for the next jab, you will have ease in your mind. I know it's difficult to take the first step for fear of being look upon as "nuts". Believe me, all Vax Skeptics like me have gone through those ostracizing and psychological persecution, but we survived. It will not be easy because I myself was unable to convince a lot of people whom I loved and care to avoid the experimental jabs. I have lost a lot of friendship in the process but I maintain my own sanity. You won't face the same extreme pressure like what I have gone through and at least you try. Deep down you know, it's extremely crazy to keep taking the Jab every year of your life while risking your health and life. Save lives, not face. May peace be upon you.   Goh Meng Seng    Read More →

My dear PM Lawrence Wong, you are divinely blessed, and you are now happily ensconced in your lofty position as prime minister, enjoying the astronomical salary that your predecessor, the venal Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong, has bequeathed to you by him setting the high ministerial pay (any different from plundering from the people’s coffers?) over the course of a number of years ago. With your impeccable credentials of probity, would it not be an auspicious time to review the humongous salaries of these highly controversial political officeholders and modify them to be compatible with international standards? For instance, the venal SM Lee was drawing no less than four times the salary of the American President, plus a bonus. What kind of golden service was he providing the dispossessed Singaporeans that required no less than four times the American President’s salary? Does it not give you a shudder that this could be some kind of sophisticated plunder? Why is there no widespread vocal protest or agitation? The time will come, maybe in the next general election. The opposition parties are apparently dragging their feet, not unlikely because they just don’t have the pugnacity to take on the People’s Action Party (PAP) and have been daunted by the PAP’s overbearing domination. We are unfortunately endowed with a precarious and inept opposition, and it is up to the voters to put up a more pugnacious opposition to take on the PAP as an equal or better, but there is nothing visible right now on the horizon. No vocal protest does not mean consent, but PAP still commands more than enough gullible voters to keep them in power. But is PM Wong going to do nothing about it and allow it to fester? He is still a human being and is not immune to largesse at the people’s expense. Again, he may be an iconoclast who may be more mindful and sympathetic to the people’s (especially poor people’s) impecunious condition than his predecessors like SM Lee and others, that he may be conscience-stricken to take the initiative to modify the astronomical salaries of the prime minister and his ministers. The mentally-trepidated public can keep their eyes peeled for any sign of sanity by PM Wong and his sympathetic team to bring down the obscene ministerial salaries to a decent level by international standards. I am still living on my poverty pension of $1545 a month and half-starving most of the time. Does PM Wong think he can show more humanity than his inhuman predecessor SM Lee by giving me a small raise so that I can live like a human being? What I had contributed in my service to Singapore I don’t think any civil servant or political master can emulate. Just an interesting aside: I had mentioned that SM Lee was in a state of flux and could be perplexed in trying to find something to do to justify his substantial salary as a senior minister. He is reported to be visiting his constituents in Ang Mo Kio to console some victims of a coffee shop fire. This is what he will be doing as a senior minister. I was not talking cock. I watched PM Wong’s performance on TV during his visit to Malaysia and was simply amazed by his competence. He and SM Lee are clearly contrasting personalities. His style of delivery was so mellifluous and absorbing that it would not fail to delight the audience and kindle their perspicuous intellect. Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim could not have been unmoved by it. On the contrary, SM Lee’s style is entirely in contrast and less subtle. He can even denigrate his hosts, as he did in China. He was recently feted by the Chinese clan and business community to honour him for his contribution to the Chinese community as PM. He needs such invitations to boost his fading personality. It is interesting that his nephew Lee Shengwu had some time ago prophesied that his rule was an Ozymandias.   Yoong Siew Wah *The author was the Director of Singapore’s Internal Security Department (ISD) from 1971 to 1974.
