Sleepwalking into the PAP Community Foundation WebSite

Last Night, I went sleepwalking and stumbled into the PAP Community Website!

Here is what I found.

Sublimal Mind Games with Kiddos & Parents!

While we are waiting for the “internal review” of the TCs & its dealings with AIM Pte Ltd, I went to have a look at the PCF website.

Here is what it says,

“The PAP Community Foundation (PCF) is the social and charitable arm of the People's Action Party.

PRELIMINARY FINDINGS & QUESTIONS

Unfortunately, I was unable to find any published audited financial reports on the website. Perhaps, Leong Sze Hian, Steve Wu, Ng Kok Lin or others might want to do a search and more research to locate these and add to the discussion.

This is no small organization, it appears to be a single-minded business with a PAP MISSION over and above it’s stated objectives here.

Questions I have in mind:

1)     Where is the main income of the PCF derived from? Are these charitable donations of members of the party or is it earned from it’s economic activity.

2)     Is public money given to PCF annually and how much does this consist of?

3)     Does the PCF enjoy special priviledges in its drive to achieve it’s objectives i.e. in securing sites and locations to put up it’s child care centres including the rental rates.

4)     Looking at a few things here,

a) “Distinct PCF Curriculum “– can we have assurance that this does not include some sublimal message(s) to the children regarding the political party PAP – “ indoctrination”,

b) “Engaged & supportive parents” -  does engagement include a PAP Party message with a view towards securing the parents’ votes?

c) “accessible & affordable services for the community” – does this include making a profit from the activities? A look at the financial reports will tell us how much this organization is profit driven. For an organization to grow to such strengths and size is close to impossible without huge financial inputs. My question here is, where is this huge financial input coming from?

The questions I have raised are not to take away the overall achievements of the PCF.

However, the subtle stealthy use of the words “social and charitable arm” while promoting a Political Brand and making a huge commercial profit may not be acceptable and “PAP Community Foundation” should be forced to change it’s name to “PAP Kindergarden & Old Folks Care Providers”. In other words, COME CLEAN!

Further, drawing down on annual government grants to ensure that it PROFITS, GROWS & ANCHORS itself in the overall social fabric of society when the same functions it provides is part of the DUTY of the Ministry of Education is even more alarming.

Will the PAP come out & publish the financial reports to the citizens so we know more about the PCF and understand why it is so successful and part and parcel of the Singapore lifestyle?

Further, can the Ministry of Education take back it’s responsibility to provide the pre-school education that the children need rather than be usurped by a political party in the name of social and charitable work.

Somewhere along the line, our major trade union NTUC appears to be moving along the same lines with it’s stealthy advantaged businesses & here again, some research and coming clean is required! Lets all dig in and do more study and thinking!

The web of influences and control of our society by our behemoth PAP has is more frightening than anything George Orwell could have written about!

I DREAMT ABOUT WARFARE & THE BATTLE FOR VOTES!

I DREAMT ABOUT WARFARE & THE BATTLE FOR VOTES!

Dr Chee (especially), all SDP Leaders & Leaders of all Alternative Parties,

Here is a book I recommend for you if you want to win the Citizen's Vote!

Read:

MARKETING WARFARE BY JACK TROUT & AL RIES.

Note that the battle for votes is fought in the following battleground - THE MINDS OF THE SINGAPORE CITIZEN VOTERS.

BTW, everyone can read the book including the incumbent our MIW and their "Generals".

However, the right application of strategy & winning tactical battles along the way will determine the eventual winner(s). The Vietcongs did finally defeat the Giant US and it took almost the entire lifetime of Ho Chi Minh!

Meantime, my take is that all Alternative Parties including the WPs are still GUERILLAS & should execute Vietcong struggle even today. Use their strategy and tactics and stop trying to engage the MIW with anything more than they can muster in ammunition & weapons!

The AMBUSH @ Aljunied was very well executed and victory was achieved because the entire supreme firepower and troops of the WP was concentrated on a careless patrolling force of the MIW there under two leaders who were not well supported until too late.

At Hougang (HQ of the WP), when Yaw got careless and lapsed, a gaping hole was exposed and, the MIW launched a HUGE FRONTAL ATTACK TO CAPTURE WP’S HQ. However, the WP recruited the entire opposition supporters on the ground to join in the defence of the weak point and TOGETHER, THEY MANAGED TO SECURE THE WEAK LINK AND KEEP IT.  However, it was a lesson to be learnt. Meantime, BUILD EACH AND EVERY NEW FORTRESS (ALJUNIED) TO BE IMPREGNABLE SOWING STRONG SEEDS and OUTSIDE, CONTINUE TO USE GUERILLA METHODS AND TACTICS UNTIL YOU CAPTURE ANOTHER WEAK POINT.

The Worker’s Party has been careful to avoid frontal or even Flanking attacks in and outside parliament where it can be defeated easily. It’s the art of avoiding any battle where you will lose!

Meantime, the Giants are the PAP in and outside parliament who like the United States uses "Agent Orange", CLUSTER FIRE BOMBS including, its SPVs like the ISA, PA, HDB, AGC, Police, new Statutes, AIM Pte Ltd, GLCs, GIC, Temasek, and many more strategic & tactical methods defending "their Singapore". They are also getting careless and making some mistakes leaving themselves EXPOSED to AMBUSH so, this is where the Alternative Parties can HIT THEM HARD.  The main leader is old & the new leader is weak and surrounded by many “yes-men” who are making mistakes and showing their many weakpoints. These are only weakpoints in a GIANT’S STRANGELHOLD in the Voters’ Minds, they are still a long way from a stroke or heart attack so, CHIP AWAY AT THESE WEAK POINTS FOR THE PRESENT! It’s not time for going for the jugular yet so please stay patient.

Only the determined "Vietcong" can survive & thrive!

Hope that Alternative Parties will each be a lethal and effective Vietcong and Vietcong ally slowly but surely eating away into the minds of the Singapore Voters building to a strength to launch a Frontal Attack one day in the future! Perhaps, by 2016?

On the current “careless Patrol force in Punggol East formerly led by Michael Palmer and now reinforced by Dr Koh and soon a stronger reinforcement of leaders. IF ALL ALTERNATIVE VIETCONGS PLUNGE IN FROM ALL DIRECTIONS SHOOTING AT THE PATROL, THEY WILL END UP SHOOTING EACH OTHER IN THE CROSSFIRE!

Let the ADVANCE PARTY (WP) COMPLETE IT’S AMBUSH AND CAPTURE THE GROUND. IF YOU WANT TO HELP, LET THE WP LEADERS KNOW SECRETLY AND WITH THEIR AGREEMENT, BRING UP YOUR FORCES WITH AND, SUPPORTING THE WP TO BOLSTER UP IT’S WEAKER LINKS.  TRYING TO USURP THE WP ADVANCE PARTY WHO HAVE BEEN LAYING THE AMBUSH GROUNDS WELL FOR SOME YEARS IS GOING TO SPOIL THIS AMBUSH! BESIDES, IN ANY BATTLE, ONLY ONE LEADER SHOULD PREVAIL AND DIRECT FORCES.  TOO MANY VIETCONG LEADERS SPOILT THE BROTH!

I dreamt that the Bird Flu Wiped out the Entire Cabinet!

I dreamt that the bird flu wiped out the Singapore Cabinet entirely.

Yes, the Health Minister caught it from one of his handshakes in hospital & brought it back to the entire cabinet and it just could not be stopped!

The result was that elections had to be held immediately!

The good news was that the PAP lost the majority in Parliament & the coalition of Alternative Parties formed the government.

As widely known, there was not enough talent from the ranks of these parties to form a powerful cabinet. The Alternative parties did some brainstorming & decided on the following:

The New Cabinet was to be formed by Carefully Selecting from a Wide Range of Candidates who would apply for the Cabinet Posts. These Posts would be advertised in Singapore and Globally.

The selection Committee for the Cabinet would be formed comprising of:

2 Representatives of each of the coalition members,

The head of each of the Chambers of Commerce,

The head of each racial grouping in Singapore

The head of the main religious organizations in Singapore

The head of each NGO in Singapore

An equal number of ordinary Singapore Citizens randomly selected. Citizens who were keen to be chosen were invited to enter their names in a pool of prospective candidates. The random draw was duly conducted successfully & a wide range of ordinary Singapore Citizens were selected to make up the rest of the selection committee. This was to balance the elites with the ordinary people in the selection process.

The task before them as a Selection Committee was to short list a total of up to 8 candidates per Cabinet post. As it was a large Selection Committee, a simple voting system applied for decision making after discussions and debates about the attributes of each candidate.

The Job Specifications of Each Cabinet Post & the Detailed Tasks for them to achieve were spelled out clearly. For the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Home Affairs, Defence and Finance, candidates had to be Singapore Citizens for at least 10 years.

 All the other Ministerial Posts were open to Local and Global Candidates. The Advertised Compensation Salaries plus bonuses were pegged at the average cost of the top 8 First World Countries’ Government Cabinets. Not surprisingly, the applicants were numerous for all the posts & applicants came from both Singapore & abroad.

The Short Listed Candidates were then given  90 minutes Live Slots on National TV to present their own profiles & brief objectives for the Cabinet Posts they were applying for.

Thereafter, Citizens went to the Selection Polls to select the candidates they wanted for each of the Cabinet Posts. Redundant Posts such as Minister in Prime Minister’s Office were eliminated.

A slim but trim Prime Minister, Deputy PM & his Cabinet were selected.

The surprise was that despite many qualified & experienced Global candidates, there were also many professionally qualified local Citizens who came forward to serve the nation.

The Results

All except one selected Cabinet Minister was a Singapore Citizen. The non citizen was from Hong Kong and he was selected to be the National Development Minister based on his vast experience in Hong Kong’s Government. Amongst unsuccessful applicants for the other Ministries included Hilary Clinton, her husband Bill, Tony Benn, Gordon Brown, Kevin Rudd, Mahatir Mohammed, Thaksin and George Bush.

The selected Cabinet got down to the enormous task ahead firstly, to replace the incompetent heads of the previous governments organisations including GIC/ Temasek, the various Parliamentary Secretaries, the heads of GLCs while keeping a few good men who had a good track record of fairness & demonstrated competence plus non partisan political outlook. Government Agencies such as the CPIB, CID, the Police & Armed Forces also saw similar changes in their chiefs based on the same criteria of competence & non-allegiance to political masters.

Unfair & unjust policies such as market pricing of public housing,  profit driven public health care, & poor subsidized care for the aged were overturned & revised.

Public Transportation was nationalized & the COE was revised to ensure that fine tuning of peak traffic became the real objective while fund raising became secondary.

Foreign Talent Policies & Foreign Worker Policies were revised to ensure that real talents were attracted & admitted. Wages were revised upwards for manual & unattractive work such as cleaners so that locals were attracted to do this work. Foreign labour were brought in to make up the shortfall. In the process, the wage gap between the have & the have nots were narrowed & a more even distribution of GDP was achieved. A minimum wage was implemented based on the cost of living in Singapore. This also allowed for repatriation of unnecessary foreign workers since more locals came forward to do the unpleasant work.

Public gathering laws were changed to ensure that citizens could protest & provide feedback peacefully & Speakers Corner Rules were modified to encourage real feedback.

To promote & improve Singapore’s International Image for Justice, the High Court & Lower Court Judges were nominated by an Independent Law Society & an election of Judges ensured that independent judges were selected.

The HDB & PA were de-politicised & policies were implemented to ensure that they were organs of the State without allegiance to any political masters.

The unfair & unacceptable retroactive policies implemented for CPF withdrawals, minimum sums & medisave sums were overturned. New policies were calculated & implemented for new entrants to the CPF scheme while old contributors reverted to the original schemes as implemented when they commenced their contributions to CPF. In other words, the shifted goal posts were moved back to the original positions!

Given that the new Government’s cabinet of ministers were selected by citizen &  comprised of recognised professionally qualified persons and/or persons who had proven themselves despite a lack of qualifications, market confidence ensured that government policies were supported wholeheartedly. In the International Arena, Singapore’s new government received wide acclaim & support; in fact, a huge round of public expression of confidence.

PMETs, Old Men & Women were willing & able to find employment & decent incomes again when many had been driven to near desperation under the old administration. Coffeeshop talk & discussions changed positively with the renewed vigour of citizens & all round smiles in the city.

Foreign criminals who had been taking shelter in Singapore were identified, given a fair hearing & those who had a case to answer in their home countries were repatriated according to new treaties that were enacted with friendly nations around us.

While some speculation disappeared from the real estate market, there was a healthy interest in purchasing homes in the “new” Singapore, and, many “quitters” started to return to the State bringing back many lost talents who had their hearts & soul for the nation.

Education policies were revised to ensure that there was room for late bloomers. Further, the quota of limiting higher education for each cohort to 25% was abolished. So long as a student was able to meet the minimum standards & was motivated, the student was allowed to progress forward to higher education. History & the Arts were reintroduced to allow for a more wide ranging development of the human potential. Recognising that English had deteriorated, proper lessons in English grammer were reintroduced in Schools. Tuition was abolished & slow learners were given the opportunity to learn in school after hours with the recruitment of the tutors into the school system. Students were thought to rationalize & think & rote learning was abolished.

GRCs & the “first past the post” method were abolished and a Proportional System of Representation was implemented according to popular feedback. This was to ensure that a more representative government of the people would be elected.

The policy of recruiting foreign sportsmen with the objective of winning Olympic medals was abolished. Local sportsmen were given opportunities to train & improve with the best coaches from around the world. Healthy sports for all was the motto for those less inclined to championship competition.

In the next elections, Singapore citizens voted the same cooperative parties again & the number of PAP elected members of parliament diminished further. During these times, the PAP had many deserting the party & joining the alternative parties who were the government. Some good men were accepted with open hearts. The Family started to lose it’s influence & most members had moved overseas knowing that the hatred for the deeds of the old man was too painful to be easily forgotton.

I woke up from this dream with a huge smile on my face and happiness in my heart.

Sadly, it was, but a DREAM, however, I knew in my heart that it would come true some day soon!

www.singaporespring2016.blogspot.com

p.s. if anyone has suggestion that could make this dream more real, do write to me at singaporespring2016@yahoo.com, I will see how it might be incorporated.

I dreamt up secret methods to preseve Elites in Animal Farm's Management.

Dreamt Up Methods of Dynastic Preservation in Animal Farm

I dreamt that all Pigs must die including myself. The dream was fantastic because it showed me how to ensure that my family of sired white pigs can continue to rule animal farm long after I have departed from the farm.

Here are the methods that I learnt from the dream.

1)      Cultivating Sired White Pigs and other Chosen White Pigs

If you want to educate your sired white pigs, at the expense of the State of Animal Farm, create a special scholarship e.g. Special Animal Farm Scholarship (which you can nickname the SAF Scholarship). When you award this to your chosen sired white pig, make sure you give it to several others to prevent accusations of corruption and favoritism.

This newly created scholarship should be maintained into the future to be used to cultivate the chosen white pigs who are going to serve faithfully under your chosen sired white pig. The cost will be borne by Animal Farm. These scholar white pigs will be bonded and, by the time they have served out their bonds, they will be so stuck into these “careers” that they have to toe the line.

2)      Fast Tracking Scholar White Pigs

Once these scholars enter the armed forces after getting their SAF Scholarship, we will fast track them through the Armed Forces (including their period of National Service) of the Animal Farm. They will learn about the unbending methods of ruling Animal Farm. Strict Discipline, unbending authority and rule by STRICT LAW and Order and how to mobilize animals under them based on BIG AND SMALL. No Bo Tua Bo Sue will be tolerated. Despite their tender young age, they will learn fast and quick that POWER IS BEHIND THE BARREL OF A GUN.

Once we have promoted these scholar white pigs way beyond their real capability, they will have nowhere to go and will continue to serve your sired white pigs faithfully and dutifully. 

3)      Moving Chosen Sired White Pig into Government

Before you move your chosen sired white pig into government, fast track him through the Animal Farm forces quickly and it’s a simple stepped process.

a.       Because your chosen sired white pig is in the FIRST BATCH OF SPECIAL ANIMAL FARM SCHOLARS, the first step is to triple promote all of them after a short period of training including the period of their national service.

b.      Secondly, from this batch, you then promote 30 per cent faster than the other 70 per cent and this will prevent anyone from complaining. Your chosen sired white pig should be included with these 30 per cent.

c.       From these 30 per cent, select one other to be promoted together with your sired chosen white pig above the rest of these 30 per cent.

d.      Finally, move this other white pig who was promoted together your chosen sired white pig to a GLC (such as the public utilities board of Animal Farm) and, your chosen sired white pig will be the head of the entire Animal Farm Armed Forces. Remember, power is behind the barrel of the gun.

e.      Succession Method for Animal Farm Dynasty

Once the above has been accomplished, you can then make an announcement to all the animals in the farm that selected accomplished people from private enterprise and government have been identified and persuaded to serve the country in the next elections. Put about 15 to 25 selected chosen white pigs together with your chosen sired white pig. Nobody can complain amongst the animals.

By the way, as far as elections in Animal Farm is concerned, the operations rules are listed in a separate manual. (see Operational Manuals for Elections in Animal Farm).

Once the elections are over and the predicted and calculated results are over, identify from the 15 to 25 group of selected white pigs, about 4-8 who are “ministerial material”.

Make sure that your chosed sired white pig is amongst them and make some of them “Ministers of State” of Animal Farm.

Nobody can complain as it is a group and they are "talented people".

After some time, from this group of Ministers of State, you can promote 2 of them to FULL MINISTER of which one will be your chosen sired white pig.

If at any time there is a country crisis or other national problems, nudge your chosen temporary chair warmer (preferably made of wood and largely and incompetent)  to appoint your chosen sired white pig the head of a national committee comprising experts and other talented pigs and let them do the dirty work. Your chosen sired white pig will be projected in all Animal Farm mass media to be the glorified hero once the committee has done all the hard and dirty work and the country has emerged from the national problem “saved”.

From these 2 chosen to be FULL MINISTER, get your chair warmer white pig to glorify your chosen sired white pig all the time. Make it clear that there is no choice, your chosen sired white pig is JUST TOO GOOD and should be the next PIGGY leader of Animal Farm.

Once you follow this manual accurately, nobody can complain that you have practiced nepotism in Animal Farm and if they do, make sure you appoint only kangaroos in the courts of animal farm. Kangeroos have always be shown to be loyal to the master and will ensure that justice is done and seen to be done. The mass media in your control will assist of course.

Playing Good and Bad Guys

At all times, the supreme old Pig Leader should be the one to take all harsh and unpopular measures and reign the animals in line all the time. The supreme old Pig Leader is well regarded and can afford to be the BAD GUY.

The chosen sired white pig who is to carry the Pig Dynasty into the 2^nd generation should always play the good guy and through this earn the “love” and good regards of the animals in the farm. Leave all the bad deeds to his assistants and the old father pig leader. The animals in the farm will be too stupid to see through this and so the Dynasty will succeed in the first instance.

Nothing else is more important.

At all times, there must be no freedom of the media and press allowed in Animal Farm so that the general public will continue to be force fed your lies and half truths. All foreign medias will be restricted and prosecuted or, made to pay defamation / libel huge punitive damages in Animal Farm's courts where necessary.

Any Pigs or Animals who do not abide by the OB markers of Animal Farm will be punished as appropriate severely to ensure with full compliance.

I had a Dream

Last night I had a strange dream about an Animal Farm.

I dreamt that a strike broke out in the small Animal Farm.

These were foreign horses  who were brought in from another large Animal Farm (Frederick’s Farm) a distance away. Apparently they were highly dissatisfied and had huge grievances that had not been attended to.

Now, the law in Animal Farm is that strikes are almost strictly forbidden no matter what unless 14 days notice has been given and only if the pigs have given permission for it to proceed.

These foreign horses did not follow procedure and Squealer (another pig leader), announced on Animal Farm’s TV on the the 2^nd night that there is zero tolerance for such a thing to happen in Animal Farm.

The farm’s dogs have been activated to investigate and procedure will follow in due course.

Meanwhile my dream drifted into the background of what was going on.

Napoleon (the Pigs supreme leader) was on the phone to Frederick, the owner of the large Animal Farm where the foreign horse had come from.

“Fred brother”, said Napoleon, “Those horses we brought in from your farm, they have revolted and gone on strike, something that has not happened in Animal Farm for 26 years! Now, if we do not do anything drastic, all our animals will revolt and we, the Pigs will lose control. What do you think?”

Now Frederick understood how control had to be maintained because his farm was larger and there were more than a billion animals who would break loose there too if control was not FIRM. It was not too long ago when student horses broke lose in revolt in his main city square and he had to send in the dogs with heavy weapons. Unfortunately, some horses had to die that day!

So Fred said, “Nap small brother, don’t worry, just go ahead and do your thing as you always do. Go get them and if you have to slaughter a few of our horses so the other animals fall in line, go ahead. I think your farm is small and you need not do as we did in our main square, a lighter touch will do I believe. These cheap horses are less influential than the pedigree horses we had to deal with.”  

“ I have to persuade our animals here that we are taking care of their brothers on your farm. We will make some small noises about respecting your rules there and to treat our horses there with due consideration OK?” “ I will also call our key Pig based in your farm to make some small noises and stand around for ceremony while your dogs do their thing. Go ahead but, with a lighter touch and if you need to be a little severe, select a few stubborn horses. “

“Oh, and when my fellow pigs here retire, please continue to accept them there. They will certainly bring much of their hog-fare with them so that your farm’s gross domestic output will increase, just keep the door open ya. Who knows, my former leader is perhaps headed that way cos Pingkilton’s farm has accused him of having too much produce hidden away.” “ By the way, I am teaching them that the Ferrari horsecart needs to be pulled carefully. That bolting horse was just too fast at 170kph!”

 “If you need more horses after this, you are still welcome, we have too many here.”

With this clear understanding, Napoleon called in his elite pigs and instructed the chief of dogs to proceed.

Investigations, detention and interviews followed with the result that the a total of 5 ring leaders amongst the rebelling horses were identified and charged in Animal Farm’s court while more than 20 other horses were also identified to be sent back to Fred’s farm with full ration pro-rata. Pigs have to show that they are “fair to other animals despite their bad behaviour.” At the least, the horse named Boxer who instigated the other horses will be sent to jail.

At the same time, Squealer ran around the media and other communication machinery in the farm to ensure that the other animals received a coordinated message – the line had been crossed and there was zero tolerance for rebellious animals both local and foreign. It did not matter if the other animals had other ideas in support of or, in condemnation of the foreign horses. They had to know that the Pigs rule and if you disobey, the severe punishment would follow.

Now, it was also standard operating procedure in Animal Farm that horses who rebelled would not be allowed bail to return to their place of abode. They had to be locked up in a cold cement floored stable with no straw nor cover except that they would be given airconditioning!

Even the horses selected to be returned to Frederick’s farm will be prevented from going back to the stables, and would be locked up in similar cold cement floored stables with no straw, nor cover and with airconditioning. Yes, Animal Farm’s Standard Operating Procedure is to let the other animals have a taste of animal farm’s prison even before they are actually sent there!

Napoleon is determined to hold on to power in Animal Farm and ensure that the Pigs prevail in ruling the farm, in particular, those sired by him.

He made a quiet toast to himself for another job well done in ensuring this chuckling, “Damm horses were getting smarter and the foreign ones from Fred displayed some fiery qualities. However, horses are all the same. Show them a whip and lash them hard and they will fall in line. Daft animals!” In any case he knew that horses had short memories and could easily be persuaded with some cheap horse-feed.

A most frightening dream, I wonder if it could be true.
