Just for info http://img135.imageshack.us/i/announcemente.png/

Minister Mah revealed yesterday that the income ceiling for new BTO flats could be raised to S$10K after the GE. Or the income ceiling may be waived off. What will be impacts? Good? No good?

After today, another 2 more days, then 1 cooling day, "action" day follows. Secret weapons from all parties are flying around with all the "analogies" what tiger, mushroom, tree, co-drive, rojak....the "east wind" or "Q bxxb"(sorry, this word highly sensitive)yet to come, but can hear some "cracking sound" in the long-built castlet. As usual, the $ also flying around the whole island, what growth...NWC recommendation, upgrading, $4500 cap raise to $5000, 1st timer flat buyer cap may raise to $10k/per month, or even no cap. Feel "suddenly" got so many $$$-related "fall down from the sky", at the "5-yr-1-time" interval. Must be the Marina fs, set correctly, as a whole??? 4 more days to come will know if the "FS" is set good or no good. I'll try to make some prediction after the rally, or on the cooling day, on the outcome. Just prediction only hor, don't laught if bo chun.

The wonderful part of the net is you are able to see the "what you see is what it is", unlike those in the media, alway present those THEIR-defined "best" to the audience. What ones see in such situation is always "one-sided".

Allow me wind the time 5 yrs back what GCT has pledged abt the $80Mil to Potong Pasir & $100mil to Hougang "provided" PAP teams won. http://www.royong.com/showthread.php?t=21 http://news.asiaone.com/print/News/The+Straits+Times/Story/A1Story20071107-34899.html Where the money come from? National development Ministry! MDM's money come from??? ALL the taxpayers. Really want to have close look at his face when he raises his right fist to heart level and pledge the NATIONAL PLEDGE during national day. If got chance to see him face to face, will tell him he is destroying the core pillars of Justice & Equality which the nation is built upon. Once, he had given me good image as humble,down to earth, caring, cleared many red tapes in gov bodies..... Chiam CT uses to recite the National Pledge during rally. I've asked ppl to send message to WP's chief to do the same, especially (this year at this time)at end of each rally, to ask everyone who present in the rallies, regardless of race, language, religion, political parties, to raise the right fist to heart level and recite the National Pledge. To hammer everybody's heart. If WP fails to do so, it is "天意“.

Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong said on 2/5/11 that the "majority" of the population were not concerned about the ministerial pay, based on his personal survey? Or board daylight dream?. It's getting closer to our neighbour's Dr. M liao. http://news.xin.msn.com/en/singapore/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4814321 http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=40298&view=findpost&p=634390 Majority "don't concern" because they don't know & don't understand the "secret component" which make up half the pay. If this "secret componet" is made known, you'll surprise to see everybody cares.

Remembered not long after LHL stepped in politic, while I studied economic subject in SIM, and his has mentioned "invisible hand" serveral times in his speeches. He believed strongly in "invisible hand"(free market). Of course, now he also well aware the visible hand can make the invisible hand works.

Last Sun morning, as usual, MIL was doing marketing at Bedok blk 216, walking along the narrow alise and ran into an aunties shaking hand with WP's Glenda Han (Uncles' killer). MIL was just behind this aunty. Aunty kept holding Glenda's hand and said in hokkien: "Your face very swee leh, much better swee than in the pciture....", MIL could walk through the crowded aisle and said aloud to aunty: "Face swee no use leh, brain swee then got use", Han siad "sorry" and retracted back her hand. MIL passed through. Yesterday, 7 early 8 early at 8+am ran into LHL & HC at bedok blk 538 market, as it was raining, a "subsevant" shade HC into a sheltered area, after that the umbrella remained on her head. We (+mil) were abt 5 meters away, MIL saw this & botahan and said aloud a few times in teochew: "got rain meh?" " gor rain meh". The umbralla remained on HC's head. MIL then said aloud: "If i got a cardboard on hand, sure will chiong to shelter her", all the ppls laught, then the umbrella "off".

Oops no, the "correct" saying should be: The visible hand makes the invisible hand works! Adam Smith's theory can't work in singapore liao.

Well said, "invisible hand" does this job.

Still don't believe? http://www.yoursdp.org/index.php/news/singapore/4667-800-for-us-millions-for-themselves read George's reply to Chee in 2009 http://www.yoursdp.org/index.php/news/singapore/2668-george-yeo-minister-salaries-has-secret-component Read letters exchange between SDP & PSD: keyword: "public domain" http://www.yoursdp.org/index.php/news/singapore/2685-govt-continues-to-evade-revealing-ministers-pay. You are right to say that those "figures" released over the net are not "actual". Even George himself also doesn't know because of the "PB" component in the "compensation package" structure. However, from Public Service Department's press release, can "agar agar" these figures - not far from those in the net!. Don't forget we have the "Standing order 44". Dr Chee who holds a doctorate title also don't understand the wage structure and the "actual" figures, not to mention you and me. Hope this clears some doubts.

Search "2/3M48", try understand the "codes" to the grades. http://www.straitstimes.com/mnt/html/nadyne/2007/tables/salaries.html, 2008. http://wp.sg/2007/04/ministers-pay/, 2007 april, read how she fight back. http://app.psd.gov.sg/data/PSD%20press%20release%2024112010.pdf ......

Read NSP Goh's blog by head & heart http://singaporealternatives.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2011-01-01T00%3A00%3A00%2B08%3A00&updated-max=2012-01-01T00%3A00%3A00%2B08%3A00&max-results=14 ,then PM Gok CT who "kick start" the upgrading as carrot in pork barrel politics in GE1997.....artificially and politically influent flats' price and drastically destroyed the foundations to the NATIONAL PLEDGE (Justice and Equality.....)which our nation is based upon. I believed, one day, he will regret. How I wish to have a closeup look at his face when he recites the NATIONAL PLEDGE, with his right fist raises to heart. He has led, by example, to his follow INNOCENT colleagues, to follow suit without realise how serious the mistake he had made in life. His hardwork, repect gained throughout the years, never even enough to compensate this mistake made(decision and action). Voters have been cryingout loud to stop this, but hardcore fact...even the "father" who polishes the Pledge, seem to have forgoten. He has once siad:politicians should “have passion, the commitment and share the same dreams as the people”. (ST 4 Nov 2006). ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_National_Pledge From HDB price issue, reminded me singapore is being run by money and profits. Got heads no hearts = elites & scholars? Think, what'll be the "price" for a L99, 50-yr old flat in the eye of a banker, with many new/newer flats around?.

Creating "fear" ambience = FS strategy, to attain own interests. Examples: 1. Casino. 2. Ruling party uses empowered constitutional power in using all voters' money, not to do "upgrading" in opposition constituencies...can voters in these constituencies choose not to pay all sort of taxation to ruling party? Understand LHL's answer to the same question raised by the NUS student staying in Hougang? Borrowing "east wind" = FS strategy. "walk" into wind and follow "blowing direction" is much easier to reach "destination" than walking against the wind to reach the same. The bigger the "wind", the "easier" and "sooner" to reach destination. = Creating an "blood boiling" atmosphere = creating the "east wind". To whack a real tiger (not paper tiger)to roll till foot of mountain, needs courage and spirit of "知其不可为而为之"(in case u don't the true meaning, read this http://www.aitong.moe.edu.sg/cos/o.x?c=/wbn/pagetree&func=view&rid=1066936， and this is powerful human's "inner drive" tool to maintain the momentum and chiong. Do you know why 项羽's name has been remaining in ppls heart after so many years? He refused to knee down and preferred to die in "standing" form thought body kena so many arrows. That is the spirit! This spirit has made many great men. In other words, politicians themselves are great fsms, just observe the ways they utilise the "natures' tools": - Chartered buses with free goodies, to save face or create "势"?? - NWC recommendation at "right" timing - Cpf capping from $4500 to $5000 etc etc, more to come ! Go Orchard Rd less, watch rally more. 5yr one time only, unlike CNY's china town, 1 yr 1 time. Can go orchard rd anytime.

Opp should take this chance join hand and recite the NATIONAL PLEDGE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_National_Pledge),(http://mystory.sg/content/1567) aloud during rallies, to challenge PAP's JUSTICE & EQUALITYE against the NATIONAL PLEDGE: We, the citizens of Singapore, pledge ourselves as one united people, regardless of race, language or religion, to build a democratic society based on justice and equality so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation. Obviously(hardcore fact), enpowered under Constitution as ruling party, who manages all voters' money, use money collected from ALL voters, as a political tool to threathen voters in constituencies with opposition contesting in, with regard to "upgrading". This is completely against the spirit of the NATIONAL PLEDGE.! No doubt ruling party has contributed alots towards the nation building and has many capable ppls, however, the "glory" and "respect" have been duly paid by the wage they received. Really hope ALL the ruling party members understand and carry out the spirit as apell out in the Nation Pledge, otherwise, the Pledge is indifference to a piece of blank paper!

"fear factors " work! "Kiasi" work! "Kiasu" work! CHiam CT & Low TK are working examples, with 27yr & 20 yr proven track record running town councils. I guess u've visited Orchard road too frequent liao, be careful hor, don't get caught in another flood, now is 谷雨(suitable to do seeding, not shopping!): - "Non-marketed" land price for BTO. - Be co-driver to slap driver who falls asleep, need "license" to be co-driver from u & me. - To check & make ruling party accountable (GIC, TCs, $$$$..)and more transparent - make sure minister's head roll off not ground ppl, MPs to take bus/MRT at peak hours without "sub servants" at front & back.... - Higher MOP for PRs ..... No fund, no money, how to implement solution. Simply planted a tree also kena uprooted the next day, remembered? You should admire those "nothing to gain, but everything to lose". Of course cannot anyhow admire, must watch what they say and how they behave first.

"Fear factors" work! "Kiasi" work! "Kiasu" work! unless one prepares to die.
