The Singapore Stink

So much corruption and sleaze in such short interval . . .

• Church Pastor siphoning off $millions from church funds to fund wifey's rock star career
• School principal and other prominent men charged for having paid sex with under-age prostitute (under 18)
• Chief of SCDF charged with corruption for having sex with supplier
• Chief of CNB charged with corruption for having sex with supplier
• NUS Law Prof charged with corruption for receiving gifts and sex from lady student
• NParks Director suspended for 'Bromptom Bicyclegate' 
• Lady teacher charged for having sex with under-age boy student (under 16)
• Ex-Minister having to answer to "River Taxigate"

With the above allegations, it looks like squeaky-clean Singapore (pride and joy of a spiteful old man blinded by ego) is smelling like rat . . . a stinking dead rat!

Many concerned citizens (some writing to msm) lament why it is so. I'm afraid it is more than "is so". It "has been so" for ages except that what "was so" was always swept under the carpet and/or locked as skeletons in the cabinet, yes, the "cabinet"!

If not for the courage of some justice-and-truth-seeking Singaporeans, we would still be living in 3MonkeysWorld - hear nothing, see nothing and say nothing! Likewise, if not for the ambition (good or evil) and frustration of others, we will not be wiser to such alleged misconduct!

For all who lament the sinful state we are in, I'd simply say, "Relax!" Let's continue to breathe easy, at the normal pace and not get too excited. Let's just be mindful that we are no longer the frog in the well. Or worse, the one in the pot with the water starting to boil to kill us. Let's be grateful that we are maturing; that we are no longer the malleable "daft" SingkieKids that the power that was and is so badly wants us to be . . . neglecting our rights to democracy, justice and equality so that they can rile (rule) us they way they like by continuously bragging about their mandate of 60% without mentioning about the buying and fixing of the pork barrel election boundaries and HDB upgrading threats.

With more Singaporeans being wiser, supporting the opposition to hopefully build a democratic society based on justice and equality, slowly but surely, the truths will out!

While Minister Khaw is having a 'khaw' (Hokkien equivalent -'bitter') time wondering if he'd jumped the gun, I think he'd opened his big mouth too soon and inadvertently shot his foot!

With the latest fracas on the 'riverboat queen', I'm afraid the taste in his mouth is getting 'bitterer'. With his ministerial predecessor, Mah Bow Tan, named in this alleged foul play, most wonder, what is Singapore coming to?

Unlike someone, until proven guilty, let's not jump the gun in condemning the accused.

In fact, with accused pleading not guilty and fighting for their innocence, more shit will hit the fan and we may actually see the truth.

Then again, with the unique jurisprudence we have in Singapore where interpretation of the law (in English) can only be perceived in the eye of the beholder, what says the beholden?

Squeaky-clean Singapore?
No, we were all morally tainted the day ministers in Singapore paid themselves millions in salary. Without WP winning Aljunied GRC in 2011, the $860,000 Salary Review would not have happened!
