Guide to the Singapore GE 2011 Part 2

Pre GE activities

What should we do to boost the morale and courage of the anti PAP forces? What do we do to strike fear into the PAP lackeys?

Slogans? Sing Songs?

I suggest that we do both!

For slogans, the best ones are:

8th March!
SDP! NCMP!
PAP! Lose 2/3!
PAP! Lose deposits!
Potong Pasir! Chiam See Tong!
Hougang! Low Thia Khiang!
Ong Teng Cheong! State funeral!

For songs, the best ones are:

Must fight then can win! (in Hokkien)
We will rock you!

Post GE activities

Assuming that PAP suffers a crushing defeat, what do we do after GE?

Slogans? Sing Songs?

I suggest that we do both!

For slogans, the best one are:

PAP LOSE UNTIL IT REMOVES ITS PANTS! (in Hokkien)

For songs, the best ones are:

Any beer bottles to sell? (in Hokkien)
Joy to the world! (for Christians)

Crushing blows for PAP

What constitutes crushing blows for PAP?

The answer are as follows:

1) Loss of 2/3 majority
2) PAP candidates in Potong Pasir and Hougang lose their deposits
3) SDP gets into the parliament via the NCMP route
4) SDP sent its candidates to contest Ang Mo Kio, Tanjong Pagar & Marine Parade GRCs and managed to avoid losing its electoral deposits

Interpretation of GE results

If the GE produces 2 or less ELECTED OPPOSITION MPs, it means that Singaporeans have voted for WAR! If the GE produces at least 3 ELECTED OPPOSITION MPs, it means that Singaporeans have voted for PEACE!

If Singaporeans vote for WAR, it means that they are voting for:

1) Collective misery
2) Collective breaking of rice bowls
3) A drive to the collective corner for all

Conclusion

All the voters COME TOGETHER! Our united hearts- burning with rage-REACHING OUT! Our burning fury REACHING UP the ministers!

Let us be as courageous as Obama and ushered in change!

Be vigilant. Be resilient. Be united against incompetent government! Be as one.

Let PAP have a taste of 8th March 2008!

Let PAP loses its 2/3 majority!

Let us create a UNIQUELY SINGAPORE history!

I studied reverse pychology, peoples have a reverse feeling/emotion for someone who is being criticised to an extreme, and this emotion bring about a feeling of sorry state for the particular person being criticised, ..so please, dun go overboard in attacking PAP, someone or many out there may feeling sorry for them and vote them.

Guide to the Singapore GE 2011 Part 1

As per 2006 GE, there are currently 9 Single Member Constituencies (SMC) and 14 Group Representation Constituencies (GRC) - 5 GRCs of 6- seats and 9 GRC of 5-seats, which gives a total of 84 seats.

To rule effectively, the ruling party will have to control two- third of the available seats- 56.

One of the GRCs- Jurong GRC- has 4 MPs due to the death of one of the MP. Calls have been made for a by- election to be held for the vacant ward- Bukit Batok, but unfortunately, it was sidelined by the EXTRAORDINARY government.

No of choices for Singapore voters

For 1 vs 1 contest, there are 3 choices available for the voters. They are: 1) PAP, 2) Opposition party and last but not least, 3) spoilt vote.

By- election Strategy

Although many voters are pissed off by- the great escape of Mas Selamat Kastari and huge losses by GIC and Temasek Holdings to foreigners- they are not ready for a change of government.

Thus what the Opposition parties should do now is to try to make PAP lose its 2/3 majority, not its simple majority!

SDP

It is going to be elections time soon. So what should SDP do?

It is well known to all that the EXTRAORDINARY government is trying to promote a gracious society, so should SDP support this initiative?

The answer is YES!

It should only contest Sembawang GRC and leave the rest for other Opposition parties!

It should be doing this because it doesn’t have a chance to win!

All the voters know that how petty- minded PAP are and they are sore losers! So what will happen if SDP were to win in GE?

It means that in a few months time, there will be a by- election for that particular group of voters!

Instead of wasting its efforts on something meaningless, it should try to portray itself as a victim of witch hunt by contesting only Sembawang GRC and hope that in their display of burning anger, the voters will send SDP candidates to Parliament as NCMPs!

Potong Pasir & Hougang

In the coming GE, the voters of Potong Pasir & Hougang have an important role to play- to deliver two tight slaps to PAP!

How do you do that?

They can do it by giving strong support to the 2 opposition MPs and making the 2 PAP candidates lose their electoral deposits!

Aren’t you happy and proud of the fact that the Opposition- run Town Council managed to earn a positive return on its funds when most of the PAP- run Town Council failed to do so?

Aren’t you angry that GIC and Temasek Holdings lose huge amount of money to foreigners?

Aren’t you ashamed to find out that Mas Selamat Kastari has managed to escape from Whitley Road Detention Centre and Singapore with relative ease?

Aren’t you disgusted that the ORDINARY Malaysian government has done what the EXTRAORDINARY has failed to do- the recapturing of Mas Selamat Kastari?

Aren’t you pissed off by the fact that despite paying taxes like all the other Singaporeans did, you were discriminated against when it comes to upgrading?

Voters of Potong Pasir & Hougang,

IT IS TIME TO DEMOSTRATE YOUR ANGER AND GIVE IT TO PAP!

PAP backbenchers and Temasek Holdings

If PAP were to suffer a severe loss (eg 2/3 majority), the PAP backbenchers are most likely to go hard on the management of Temasek Holdings in future!

Why?

It is because they are going to be the ones to pay for the mistakes though no fault of their own!

Their interests are being sacrificed in order for a bunch of incompetent fools to prolong their neither welcomed nor desirable stay at Temasek Holdings!

Loss of 2/3 majority

What will happen if PAP were to lose its 2/3 majority?

If that happens, the President might be encouraged to be more assertive!

The local financial markets will most likely take a dip initially before starting to rise!

It is because the Opposition leaders- Mr Chiam See Tong and Mr Low Thia Kiang- have over the years shown that they are sensible and reasonable people, thus they will not derail the Parliament!

It will be business as usual!

So in the end, it will be positive for all investors!

NCMP

SDP should be given the 1st priority when it comes to NCMP. That is, if the Opposition wishes to see a big Wayang!

PAP leaders have called Dr Chee Soon Juan a liar and have urged the voters not to support SDP. Just imagine what will be the ministers’ reactions if SDP managed to get an NCMP in the Parliament!

If PAP don’t do anything, Singaporeans will start to wonder whether what the PAP leaders have said about SDP was true.

If it do something to SDP, Singaporeans will view PAP as sore losers and thus SDP is subjected to political oppression!

Strategies for opposition parties

They can either choose to contest more than ½ of the available seats or use the by election strategy.

Under the by election strategy, there are 2 options for them to choose:

1) By election strategy
2) By election Plus strategy

The by election strategy is to contest less than ½ of the available seats. The formula for By election Plus strategy:

By election strategy + Ang Mo Kio GRC + Tanjong Pagar GRC + Marine Parade GRC

The opposition parties have absolutely no chance of winning these 3 GRCs and might even lose the electoral deposits for the first two GRCs! Thus it is named the By election Plus strategy!

PAP talents

Basically, the PAP talents can be divided into 3 classes:

1st class talents will be fielded in ultra safe GRCs like Tanjong Pagar & Marine Parade.
2nd class talents will be fielded in other GRCs.
3rd class talents will be fielded in SMCs.

One example of 1st class talent would be the current DPM Teo Chee Hean who came into the political scene via Marine Parade.

Thus the voters should not be worrying about leadership renewal since the extraordinary government will play safe and field the 1st class talents in ultra safe GRCs!

Those being fielded in Potong Pasir & Hougang are not included as they are just there to fill the quota!

GIC’s 11 billion franc investment means that it would receive some 228.83 million UBS shares when the notes are converted.

Where possible, MAS should try to conclude an M & A deal with Qantas. If that is impossible, it should then try to set up a joint venture-Australia based- with Qantas. The 1st route this new JV will be plying would be:

Sydney- LA

One of the 2 Water Agreements that Malaysia has signed with the little red dot is going to expire in 2011, the Malaysian government ought to consider its options.

The few available options:

1) Do not renew the Water Agreement

2) Renew the Water Agreement, but only after some delay

3) Renew the Water Agreement

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT FOR RECAPTURING MAS SELAMAT KASTARI!

Should the Malaysian government hand over Mas Selamat Kastari?

NO!

This is a rare opportunity for the Malaysian government!

It could take this opportunity to do damage to the prestige of the extraordinary government!

1) Singapore has not hold its GE yet.

2) It is a well known fact that many Malaysians admired the extraordinary government to the extent that they started to despise the Malaysian government, thus the unfortunate 8^th Mar event!

3) It helps to refresh the memories of Singaporeans!

It should publicly state the reasons for refusing to hand over Mas Selamat Kastari to the extraordinary government!

Reasons

1) Mas Selamat Kastari escapes from the detention centre without much difficulty!

2) Mas Selamat Kastari escapes from Singapore without much difficulty!

3) Despite deploying massive manpower, the extraordinary government fails to find Mas Selamat Kastari!

The extraordinary government will not dare to be unfriendly since the renewal of 2011 Water Agreement hangs in the balance!

The Malaysian government should also make an attempt to start a war of words with the extraordinary government! When the war of words gets heated up, it should send a letter to the extraordinary government.

The letter- stating the reasons for not handing over Mas Selamat Kastari to the extraordinary government- should be highly publicized in the mainstream media on both sides of the causeway, thus paying back the extraordinary government in its own coin!

The extraordinary government did that to the Malaysian government once!

If the extraordinary government insists on the handing over of Mas Selamat Kastari, the Malaysian government should charge Mas Selamat Kastari in court! After all, Mas Selamat Kastari has made an illegal entry into Malaysia !

He should be given the maximum jail sentence, but NO CANING! This should be used as a LAST RESORT! He could serve his sentence at a remote location!

To prevent the escape/ attempted rescue of Mas Selamat Kastari, the Malaysian government should take the following measures:

1) Mas Selamat Kastari should be held in an undisclosed location- far away from populated area! CCTVs and the related personnel are BASIC NECESSARITIES!

2) Electronic tagging on Mas Selamat Kastari should be made COMPULSORY!

3) Strategic deployment- ambushes- of soldiers and policemen in locations- some distances away- that command the roads leading to the place that Mas Selamat Kastari was being held!

4) Constant simulation of the likely escape routes by Mas Selamat Kastari would be great!

Malaysia should try its best to maintain good relations with Indonesia as both countries share a common ‘enemy’- the little red dot! It will also hinder the economic potential of Borneo Island !

Both sides should negotiate instead of fighting over the disputed territory as the little red dot is constantly seeking opportunities to undermine Thailand , Malaysia and Indonesia !

The most suitable location for the Third Link to the little red dot would be from the area south of Pasir Gudang to the Punggol area. Beside a road link, there could also be a rail link extending south from the railway to Pasir Gudang. There is a MRT station at Punggol.

The Malaysian government could also propose a rail link across the Second Link to Tuas as the MRT system will extend to the area in future! Thus, the KTM railway could be extended to PTP with a rail branch towards Tuas! The configuration of the proposed railway station should benefit both PTP as well as KTM!

This is a rare opportunity!

In order to achieve all these, the Malaysian government must be ‘very helpful’ towards the little red dot!

With the global economy in trouble, the little red dot will be worrying about deflation! To help to ease its deflation worries, the Malaysian government should start detain shipments of quarry dust under the pretext of anti- smuggling measures!

With the global economy in trouble, the little red dot will also be worrying about babies! To help to ease its babies worries, the Malaysian government should start to disrupt the supply of natural gas under the pretext of technical faults!

Since the Malaysian government is ordinary, frequent technical faults are ‘unavoidable’! A sudden disruption in the supply of natural gas will lead to blackouts within the little red dot! Frequent blackouts will eventually lead to more babies being produced!

Like the Malaysian government, the extraordinary government is also very fearful of the 8^th March event although it tries to pretend that the 8^th March event means nothing to it! To help to ease the worries of the extraordinary government, the Malaysian government should act as a good- natured ‘busybody’ and sent a letter to the extraordinary government explaining the reasons why it cannot hand over Mas Selamat Kastari immediately!

As Singaporeans are currently very pissed off over the losses suffered by GIC and Temasek Holdings, the relatively easy escape from Singapore by Mas Selamat Kastari and the subsequent failure by the extraordinary government to take immediate custody of Mas Selamat Kastari, it would be good to send copies of the letter to the mainstream media on both sides of the Causeway!

The Malaysian government should build oil refineries, LNG terminals and relevant storage facilities in Kuantan and Port Klang. Oil and gas pipelines should be built to link Kuantan and Port Klang.

The bombings at Jakarta are quite stunning but this is not the time to panic or get upset. The Malaysian government should render assistance to Indonesia by facilitating meeting with Mas Selamat Kastari. This is not an ordinary man, for he even managed to outwit the extraordinary government!

It should also be on its guard as the terrorists might attempt to attack Malaysia and/ or Thailand after their successful bombings in Jakarta .

The recent offer by the extraordinary government to swap an extremely valuable piece of land for KTM land in Singapore looks very interesting!

Before the Malaysian government weighs the pros and cons of the proposed swap, it should consider the following points:

1) the proposed deal was not reported by the mainstream media in Singapore

2) the strategic value of KTM land in Singapore

It is not reported by the Singapore mainstream media because it is not a good thing to notify an ignorant fool about it! The ignorant fool will most probably weigh in with his views- which he is going to do so now!

By its actions, it has just prove that the ignorant fool is a rare gem- much more better than the so called talents

The world class system did manage to produce talents, but unfortunately, they are of not much use in times of crisis! In times of crisis, the so called talents could not do much and that explains why the ignorant fool is hogging the limelight currently!

If Malaysia were to copy the world class education system wholesale, this will be the most likely result!

It is very hard for an ignorant fool to highlight the strategic value of the KTM land in Singapore and expects the others to believe this view wholeheartedly! This is due to the fact that up to now, the ignorant fool doesn’t have a track record- unlike LKY!

The extraordinary government has just helped to verify the view as true and accurate!

If Malaysia wishes to demonstrate that it is a good neighbour to the little red dot, it should shift its railway station!

Where should the railway station shift to?

It should shift to the Tanglin Halt area. Across the railway track is the One North and MOE; Holland Village is across the road and the area lies between 2 MRT stations- Buona Vista and Commonwealth. Thus it is a good location for the replacement railway station!

Malaysia should swap the KTM land from Tanjong Pagar to Queensway for a 100% stake in the Tanglin Halt land!

Malaysia should get the Tanglin Halt land (bounded by MOE, One North, Commonwealth Ave , Haw Par Technocentre and the nearby HDB Flats) in the form of freehold white site! If the value of the Tanglin Halt land is not enough to cover the value of given up KTM land, it should also demand a 50% stake in the Tanjong Pagar site!

Zeppelin Airship World (ZAW) is a company worth investing in! To start its operations, it requires S$100m.Currently, it managed to raise only S$10m. The Malaysian government should consider taking a stake (30- 45%) in the company, leaving the rest for Indonesian government!

ZAW currently has only the rights to ‘assemble, operate, market and distribute the new Zeppelin NT airships’ in the little red dot and Malaysia , so it should be ‘urged’ to secure the rights for Indonesia as well!

Besides possessing potential, it could also served as a potential bridge between Malaysia and Indonesia !

Proposed routes:

Johor- Singapore- Batam, Johor- Singapore- Bintan, Johor- Singapore- Karimun

WHAT’S THE HELL IS THE ORDINARY MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT TRYING TO DO?

There are still a lot of things waiting for Malaysia to do! They are:

1) South to North water transfer

2) Tighten security at Kamunting Detention Centre

3) Ban sand export to the little red dot

4) Arrange for Mas Selamat Kastari to meet his family

5) Propose an exchange of Spore KTM land for Tanglin Halt freehold white site

6) Solve traffic jams problems at the Causeway and 2^nd Link

7) Use English to teach maths and science

8) Finish the building of Kedah- Kelantan pipelines

9) Lower crime rates

10) Upgrading of infrastructure

11) Fight terrorism

12) Fight corruption

13) Attract more foreign investments

The South got too much water, which is why it is facing once-in-50-years floods! After 2011, the water should be diverted to Klang Valley!

Ways to help MSK meet his family:

1) Issue temporary passports to his family members! On their return to Singapore, Malaysian officers collect back the passports at Woodlands Checkpoint! Spore ISD officers to escort the family throughout the whole journey!

2) Install webcams at the Malaysia embassy in Spore, invite the family members to meet MSK via webcam!

3) Send letters to UN, US, EU, China, India, Japan, Russia and other countries to ask them for help!

By the way, are Malaysia and Yugoslavia twins that got separated at birth? They look increasingly alike!

Indonesia

We have a vision for tomorrow
Just believe, just believe
We have a goal for Indonesia
We can achieve, we can achieve
You and me, we'll do our part
Stand together, heart to heart
We're going to show the world
What Indonesia can be
We can achieve, we can achieve
There is something down the road
That we can strive for
We are told no dream's too bold
That we can't try for
There's a spirit in the air
It's a feeling we all share
Were going to build a better life
For you and me
We can achieve, we can achieve
Count on me Indonesia
Count on me to give my best and more
You and me, we'll do our part
Stand together, heart to heart
We're going to show the world
What Indonesia can be
We can achieve, we can achieve

Chorus:
Count on me Indonesia
Count on me Indonesia
Count of me to give my best and more
Count on me Indonesia

(repeat chorus)

Together Indonesia, Indonesia
Together Indonesia, Indonesia

Indonesia should try its best to maintain good relations with Malaysia as both countries share a common ‘enemy’- the little red dot! It will also hinder the economic potential of Borneo Island!

Both sides should negotiate instead of fighting over the disputed territory as the little red dot is constantly seeking opportunities to undermine Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia!

This is a rare opportunity!

Indonesia should seize the opportunities presented by the recapturing of Mas Selamat Kastari

In order to achieve all these, the Indonesian government must be ‘very helpful’ towards the little red dot!

With the global economy in trouble, the little red dot will be worrying about deflation! To help to ease its deflation worries, the Indonesian government should start detain shipments of quarry dust under the pretext of anti- smuggling measures!

To help to ease the worries of the extraordinary government, the Malaysian government should act as a good- natured ‘busybody’ and sent a letter to the extraordinary government explaining the reasons why it cannot hand over Mas Selamat Kastari immediately!

When the Malaysian government sent the letter to the little red dot, the Indonesian government should also send a letter to the little red dot, seconding Malaysia’s proposal!

To help ease public anger over the massive losses suffered by Temasek Holdings, the Indonesian government should buy over the stakes held by Temasek Holdings and SingTel!

The Indonesian government should build oil refineries, LNG terminals and relevant storage facilities in Acheh, Riau Islands and Jakarta. Oil and gas pipelines should be built to link Acheh, Riau Islands and Jakarta.

The bombings at Jakarta are quite stunning but this is not the time to panic or get upset. The Indonesian government should send a team of counter terrorism officers to Malaysia to interview Mas Selamat Kastari. This is not an ordinary man, for he even managed to outwit the extraordinary government!

Everyone knows that Sg can still receive more people but what type of living standard and comfort can Sg provide to its people. We don’t need expect to tell us that. But look everywhere, it is so crowded -be it in hospitals, buses, trains, supermarkets, public spaces, markets,etc.. I would say it is stressful to be in crowded places. Is this the living standard that Paul Cheung wants for the people of Sg?

Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) may have suffered a paper loss of more than SGD $10 billion dollars in its investment in Swiss bank UBS as of now.

In December 2007, GIC agreed to invest 11 billion francs in mandatory convertible notes issued by UBS. The mandatory conversion feature of the notes held by GIC means that they must be exchanged for UBS shares by the time they mature on March 5, 2010 – two years after the notes were first issued.

GIC’s 11 billion franc investment means that it would receive some 228.83 million UBS shares when the notes are converted.
