Of all the information that I have sifted through, only your 3rd last para made the most sense. Well, of course bits and pieces here and there too.Originally posted by Gazelle:Just because the global media are now focusing on Myanmar, the latter has now become another platform for the sheep in this forum to use some white manÂ’s opinion to criticize our government as if they (the whites) are naturally smarter than their own ancestor of different skin colors, and they have now become the most caring community in Singapore. OR should I say NATO community in Singapore??
The problem that the Burmese are facing today is nothing new, those who have traveled to Yangon or Mandalay for business or holiday would have already know that people there are extremely poor and they are deprived of many things in life for many many years. And suppose if Singapore/Asean government or companies didnt provide "aid" or investment to Myanmar, the Burmese will still be living in a world without internet, mobile phone, computers etc and communication with the outside world would be cut off.
After reading so much comments from the wannabe politicians (aka arm chair critics) in this forum, none of these people have actually highlighted the importance of Myanmar to Singapore and the ASEAN region and all they can think about is what the white people are saying about us and speculating that Singapore government is supporting Junta against their own people.
If you havenÂ’t already know, Myanmar is the only ASEAN country that links SE-Asia to the India continent and they are geographically connect to India, Bangladesh, China, Laos and Thailand. If Singapore or ASEAN would to isolate Myanmar like North Korea, this will create a lot of instability in the region and it will become a huge trade barrier bAsean and India continent.
Mr. Texas BUSH, Puppet Blair and PM Coward have already made huge mistake in their approach in dealing with Arabs in the Middle East, do you have reasons to believe that white people are more capable than Asians to deal with Asians? Plus have the sheep ever ask themselves how much investment these white countries have in Iraq and Iran prior to the WAR?
To all those white di.ck suckers out there, please stop disgracing Singaporeans!!
No one individual is infallible.Originally posted by TheGoodEarth:hahaha, I always have to laugh at this antic Atobe. Falling into my pile of crap had made him a very angry man. I feel sorry for all his rantings. That man needs some help. While he had been quite diligent in digging pile of materials including foreign ones, pictures, quotations, speeches, history books, newspaper clippings, etc., his rantings can be unintelligent and incoherent, with many unconnected linkages here and there. It is a pity we do not know exactly what irks him but there seemed to be a lot of underlying hatred or unspoken dissatisfactions that we do not really know. I can feel his sufferings but I am not sure whether my pile of crap is any help!
I did say he was diligent but constructive ....? There is something more (underlying) that we are obviously not getting!Originally posted by Rock^Star:No one individual is infallible.
If you can dismiss his posts as that stemming from anger, then you certainly must have misinterpreted a lot of facts quoted from him too.
You seem to link constructive criticism with anger, rantings....... a big fallacy in itself. When this happens, genuine contributions are often disregarded as a fault of the contributor, rather than the inept absorption of the receiver.
Definetely not about Myanmar and the Sheep.Originally posted by gigabyte14:er, what are you people talking about?
This statement is so true. Firstly, the government should never be allowed to keep the property sector buoyantly hot. That time, they built a shopping centre at my estate and the properties surrounding it became hot. They also built the MRT and the property prices around these MRT stations became hot. They should not be allowed to do that and this is proof that they are corrupt and only have their private interests at heart.Originally posted by Atobe:
The majority of Singaporeans will be poor by the time they reached retirement age, as the bulk of their retirement funds will be swallowed up in the over priced properties that the Singapore Autocrats have created with its 'property casino environment', which they have private interest in to keep the property sector buoyantly hot.

Atobe, I'm your biggest fan. Whatever you happen to say, makes so much sense. I don't know how you manage to find out, but it's true that the wide array of food at Myanmar's open air markets are priced to commensurate with their wages. Who cares about quality and hygiene anway? I'm sure they also have Sushi Tei that commensurates with their wages. Why don't you and I move over to Myanmar? We will live like kings over there. They may even have Equinox that commensurates with their wages.Originally posted by Atobe:
The Burmese enjoy having a wide array of food at their open air markets that are available at prices that are commensurate to their wages, and the Military Junta - like the Singapore Autocrats - have ensured that the stomachs are filled while the minds are dulled.

The Myanmar issue cannot be resolved without participation of the military. Such vigorous show of opposition and public protests against the military junta only serves to put the military on the defensive and will result in greater restriction of civil liberties and human rights. George Yeo is right that we understand the political situation there far better than ranting western liberals who are in no mood themselves to send their soldiers into another military conflict in Myanmar. Regime change has not worked...just look at Iraq. It is not in our own political or economic interests to have instability in Myanmar, and economic sanctions for the past decades have not worked an iota.
The way forward is for greater diplomatic dialogue and to persuade the Myanmese military that their interests would be better served by less oppressive rule.

This is another true statement from the great Atobe. The Singaporeans today are definitely struggling as compared to those days in the 1950s. Did those families in the 1950s struggle at all? Of course not. Are people today struggling to even raise a 2 child family? Of course we are. Anyone who asks me for proof is a downright donkey.Originally posted by Atobe:
Burma - today - has living conditions similar to Singapore in the 1950s, with the majority of the Burmese being unaware of what life in Singapore is like today. Singaporeans, who have lived through the experience of the 1950s, will know that Singaporeans were not complaining of their conditions then, and even had more then enough to look after a huge family - compared to Singaporeans today struggling to keep a 2-child family despite the huge wage difference from the 1950s.

Secondly, even though the casinos will supposedly help to pump some few billion dollars into the economy and bring more jobs and probably help increase the general income with its operation, it is still bad because people will be poorer with the increased property prices. And even though a person who owns a property of great value, say a few hundred thousand dollars, he or she is still considered poor. But then, these are just my opinions.

Dear Atobe, you are so right again. I tried to find the figures for the people who are locked in poverty and after 5 minutes of googling, all I can find is this statistical analysis of household income from the government for the year of 2006.Originally posted by Atobe:[b]
Despite our material gains, even the MIW Government has acknowledged that there exist a segment of Singaporeans locked in poverty - {there remains a stubborn refusal to be exact and transparent of the actual numbers in the different income groups that are struggling}.
You will sound more credible as a pre-puberty Singaporean instead of going by the chosen ah_lao.

Can a 'pile of crap' - trying hard to be TheGoodEarth - be capable of provoking anyone's anger ?
If at all, the self-conceit in believing your own ''crap can be provocative'' will already reveal your effort to shore up your hopeless position, as you have not even attempt to address issues raised in my post, but will prefer to work on the psycholoical peripherals of my emotions and psyche.
From all your post todate, how much solid stuff have you been able to throw up to counter any arguments that have shown you up as the crap that you are; and what have you even shown to even to solidify your position ?
All your replies todate have been laced with suggestions of my negative vibes, my anger, my sufferings, my underlying hatred, my unspoken dissatisfactions, my unintelligent and incoherent rantings with unconnected linkages here and there - where are your solid proof to all that you have so expertly suggested ?
Would you like to have a personal PM conference with your ardent fan - [b]'the Crap Sniffer' to co-ordinate your placing of your 'pile of crap' ?
Perhaps you should do something to co-ordinate with ah_lao2 -who seems to be an ardent admirer and fan of my postings ? He has made unsolicited declaration of his admiration to all my posts - which will have contradicted all the suggestions that you have indicated.
Someone must be right, and the other wrong.
Either he is a pre-puberty 'ah_lao' unable to be critically discerning as you seem to be capable of as a 'pile of crap'; or it simply prove that you are no better than a pre-puberty 'ah_lao in being able to produce crap.

Dear Atobe, this is another passage from your classic post. It should be framed on everybody's wall. Of course, there are various kinds of riots, such as the race riots 38 years ago of 1969, soccer riots and riots from secret societies and gangsters. But isn't it obvious that the government only trains the police to use unreasonable force against people who stand up for their country, which means to say peaceful deomnstrations? Isn't it obvious? It is conclusive proof that the government is cruel and heartless.Originally posted by Atobe:
''Ignorance is bliss'' - and yet, the Burmese has the inspiration to fight for their political rights that has been usurped from them, as much as the few politically concious Singaporeans are also demanding for our political rights to be returned to us.
It was the recent fuel price increases in Myanmar that provided the spark that cause the Burmese to be more vocal, and it was the brutal and morally bankrupt military - which is conscientiously detached from the population - that used brutal and excessive force in suppressing the Burmese demands for change.
The Singapore Police Force are similarly trained in using deadly force as the last option; and despite more then 50 years of non-riots, the Singapore Government has seen fit to purchase crowd control water cannons fitted onto police trucks, as well as an array of riot control devices and soft weapons to be used against Singaporeans.
Suppressing those who will dare to stand-up and be counted for the sake of the country.

Also, not to mention the military. Isn't it obvious that the military is useless and just a complete scam to waste the country's money and sell military goods to other countries? I mean, when was the last time we had a war in our region? For goodness sake, it was 62 years ago in 1945. If it haven't happened for decades, it will never happen. Do you really think that Malaysia, Indonesia or any of our neighbours will bully, attack or conquer us? Please, has it happened before and if it has, when was the last time?
There are no doubts the government should just scrap the military and the riot police and stop wasting taxpayers' money. I think Atobe, you and I should start a political party. Surely, with our policies, more than 50% of the people will vote for us.

Are you such an ardent fan of the MIW that you will even imitate their style in such an amateurish way to regain some credible ground in this Speaker's Corner on their behalf ?
From this post alone, it will reveal that perhaps 44 years ago - in 1963 - your parents have not even met to mesh their DNA together to create this present pre-puberty ah_lao that do not even know that Indonesia has attacked Singapore - in a Konfrontasi organised by President Sukarno. We could forgive your pre-puberty ignorance that Malaysian political leadership had attempted to send two Battalion of Royal Malay Regiments to arrest the entire Singapore State Cabinet, and failing to do so through the intervention of UK PM Harold Wilson, Singapore was kicked out of the merger with Malaysia.
Have you confused the urgency to prepare ourselves with an NS SAF to fend off external attacks, with the useless need to prepare our Police Force to suppress decent Citizens to regain their Constitutional Rights - which have seen us being shackled by the repeated bastardising of the Singapore Constitution through countless legislative amendments that will perpetuate the MIW to be in political office ?
Have you confused the Decent Citizens with the gangsters and secret societies ?
Race riots 38 years ago - yes, did you find out the cause behind the riots ?
Soccer riots ?
Riots from secret societies and gangsters ?
We can forgive your pre-puberty imagination and vain effort to emulate the MIW, even as much as you behave like 'Brutus' in your declared admiration as my 'ardent fan' - when I do not even have the slightest inclination to be 'Caesar'.
If Singapore can still be threatened by another Racial Riot after 38 years, surely something is amiss in all the racial harmony and integration policies that this MIW Government has implemented since 1969 ?
If Singapore can still be threatened by Secret Societies and Gangsters - after 38 years - surely, the MIW Government has been locking up the wrong characters with the Internal Security Act and the Criminal Detention Legislation that empower the Home Minister to detain without trial anyone that threaten the security of Singapore ?
With your pre-puberty vanity and such a hurried ambition to be an ah_lao without even brushing up on history that is available with a click on Google, you are certainly audacious to even wish to set up a political party.
Surely, you must be a uselss wannabe agent for the MIW ?
