It is a philosophy of the Chinese dynasties..........that good rulers are appointed by Heaven. When there is national disasters, it means Heaven has withdrawn its mandate, and a new governing body is called for...eg a new govt or new dynasty..........it's the political philosophy of china for centuries lah..........see history book please
hai-yah..........
Ok, I accept this explanation, for the time being.
But since Singapore felt the shaking as well, so Heaven had also withdraw its mandate and a new governing body is called for...eg a new govt or new dynasty..........it's the political philosophy of china for centuries. Does that means that it's time for a change of government? Like that must tell PAP to hold elections liao lor.
The reason of this "philosophy" is introduced by the Zhou Dynasty people is to justify their invasion and their destruction of the Shang Dynasty. The bugger by the name of Dong Zhong Shu, insisted that all natural disaster is due to punishment of heaven to a poor government.
If you are as lame as him, please tell everybody that you are not a Singaporean. Because you just disgraced yourself.
