WELCOME!

Welcome to a life post-modern

Where nothing is of real concern.

But for prejudice, our new god,

Reason can be safely ignored.

If upside down is downside up,

Logic sinks in our lazy bathtub.

If every corner is a place to pee,

We'll have to pretend not to see.

Fights for rights and freedom

Become devices to kill boredom.

Acts of honour and morality

Provide the baits for profitability.

As truth has become a travesty,

Honesty is open to mockery.

But if every answer is wrong,

This is a world we cannot belong.

THE SAND CASTLE

One day, Pa Pa made a sand castle,
Mixing loving care with big muscle.
When it became creme de la creme,
Everyone was so proud of him.

A work of perfection out of our reach,
It shone like a rare gem on the beach.
A stunning feat never to be repeated,
With worldwide applause he was feted.

But, someone kicked a heavy ball.
Oh dear, just look at where it did fall!
It was really hard to show no emotion
When we saw a great sandy demolition.

A total sadness came after the shock.
For a while, we just couldn't talk.
We begged Pa Pa to build us another.
But he told us to ask Big Brother.

But, no matter how Big Brother tried,
The best sand castle had truly died.
So when Pa Pa left us shortly after,
We could offer only sorrow at his altar.

One night, Pa Pa appeared in a dream.
He told us never again to cry for him.
For he had embedded glory in the sand,
Everybody just needs to lend a hand.


Singapore is best described as a sand castle. No matter how glorious it was in the past, its sharp edges will be blunted by the wind, its design will grow weary, its purpose will be eroded by the passage of time and its structure will be destroyed when the tide comes in. It needs constant re-building by everyone.

LEE FAMILY SAGA
When will it end? 

"When will it end? Please let it end." Everyone seems to be saying this. Well, very simple - just answer these 3 questions first and it will surely end.

1. Is the demolishment of 38, Oxley Road negotiable or non-negotiable?

2. Is LKY's final will valid or invalid?

3. Has the PM been defamed, and if so, what action should be taken?

If these questions are evaded, ignored or suppressed, they will forever cast a shadow over the integrity of the government, the reputation of Singapore and the state of health of Singapore society.

Lee Family Dispute
It's either a non-issue or the biggest crisis in Singapore

There are 2 parallel stories here:

(1) This is purely a private family dispute about LKY's will. It is counter-productive and mischievous to blow up the matter into a national crisis.  So, citizens should try not to be too nosy or dig too deeply into the details of the quarrel. We should have the courtesy to leave the family to privately resolve their differences. That is the smart thing to do.

(2) No, like it or not, this is already a national issue. The crux of the matter is this: is the PM guilty of abuse of power, nepotism, conflict of interest and dishonesty? The dispute over the will serves only to provide the background and evidence for such accusations. This question ought to be answered because it concerns the reputation of PM Lee and the reputation of Singapore. That is the right thing to do.

Which side of the story do you prefer? Which side of the story concerns you?

Global Warming - The Scam of the Century

Is the belief in global warming and climate change a religious or scientific belief? Is it a planetary emergency or is it a political hoax? What can possibly motivate "scientists" to betray science itself to push the ridiculous claim of a man-made carbon dioxide-driven climate change of global warming leading to catastrophic consequences? Money, power, influence or politics? It even led to the equally fraudulent Paris Climate Agreement in 2015!

TRUMP'S WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT

There is much dishonesty in this false liberal narrative about Trump not knowing or not caring about climate change. Trump does care very much about global warming and the environment. He is only objecting to the terms of the agreement that are unfair to the US. It favours China, India and Europe at the expense of the US. In fact, the whole agreement is a scam for a global redistribution of wealth. The climate is only a cover for an economic agenda. Trump is open for a renegotiation or a new fair agreement, but if the UN and the other European nations flatly refuse to renegotiate those unfair terms, what choice does Trump have except to withdraw from the agreement altogether? I'm 100% behind Trump.

Just watch this to get the facts: https://youtu.be/ck84Y_wWnUc

Covfefe - A most popular, elegant, useful and needed word!

1. Most popular

The most commonly used word in the English language world used to be "the", but no longer! "Covfefe" is now the official most popular word ... at least over the last 24 hours. So, Guinness Book of Records and Wikipedia - please update your records. Just don't ask me how the word has the knack of sticking to the corner of our lips and mainly the lips of Trump's enemies. Isn't it ironical that a word that first originated from Trump's lips ended up on the lips of his enemies? Isn't such lip-to-lip association anathema among enemies? Well, strange happenings do occur in Trump's quantum world.

2. Most elegant

Just look at its spelling: c-o-v-f-e-f-e ... so beautiful. Just say it: cov-fe-fe ... how sensual and sexy. It sounds French, or even Russian (oops!). In my opinion, it is the most elegant word to be coined over the last 400 years!

3. Most useful

For the uninitiated, the word's meaning has already been properly defined and documented (by me). Please see Covfefe - Its Real Meaning

http://singaporedialectic.blogspot.sg/2017/05/covfefe-its-real-meaning-covfefe-noun.html?m=1

But even I was foxed by its versatility. It was first thought that it refers to the practice of creating, propagating and the false verification and corroboration of fake news (noun). Now I think it can refer to the very fake news thus concocted (noun). It can also be an adjective to describe news outlets or other perpetrators of fake news or even a verb whereby to covfefe something is to commit a crime of fakery. Let me give you an example: "The covfefe (adjective) mainstream media do not hesitate to covfefe (verb) cofefe (noun) against Trump, so much so that covfefe (noun) has become standard industry practice in America! Or is that too much?

4. Most needed

Well, for the last year or two, everybody has been bewildered and agonized by the widespread dissemination of fake news and the difficulty in differentiating truth from falsehood both in the print and the electronic media. Like terrorism, it is something that befuddles our minds. Thank God, for "covfefe" - now we have a simple word for it and is undoubtedly the first step in our quest to banish the cancer of fake news.

Covfefe - Its Real Meaning!

Covfefe (noun) is a new word coined by President Donald Trump of the United States in a dawn tweet on 31 May 2017 when he cryptically wrote "Despite the constant negative press covfefe  ", a half sentence that got the whole internet puzzled.

For more about this earth-shaking event, please read BBC's report: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40104063

Even Trump himself has issued a challenge for anyone to figure out the true meaning of the word: 

Many people think that it is a typo for "coverage". I don't think so. Even Merriam-Webster, the dictionary, has given up on deciphering the word. It appears that everyone is having sleepless nights agonizing over it! Believe me, I'm perhaps one of only two persons in this whole wide world who actually know the meaning of "covfefe" (the other person is Trump himself, of course). So, to save the sanity of the universe, I've decided to reveal its meaning sooner rather than later.

So, here goes:

The word "covfefe" is formed by the amalgamation of two terms: "COV" which is an acronym standing for 'Confirmation Of Victory', a reference to having successfully getting yourself laid for the night; and "fefe", a prison contraption made from a piece of cloth, rubber glove and sock to create a substitute functional female genital organ for the purpose of sexual stimulation and release by prisoners in the absence of a female sex partner.

So, "COV"-"fefe" or covfefe is the word used by President Trump to refer to the practice of the mainstream media to create fake negative news about him, to believe in the news that they themselves created, to indulge in false obsessive analyses until they reach a frenzied climactic declaration of self-validated victory against him.

This is a deep word, but its meaning is clear.

Eg.: 1. Despite the constant negative press covfefe against Donald Trump, he seems unruffled. 
        2. In fact, the unrelenting covfefe against Donald Trump has the opposite effect of increasing the people's support for him!

As in all things Trump, things run even deeper than this, because in case you're wondering how to pronounce the word, let me help you: covfefe = "cough-fee-fee". It's like you're having a cup of coffee in your hand now, sipping it quietly, and when this true meaning of the word finally dawns on you, it is also at the same instant when a small stream of coffee hits the top of your windpipe causing you to have a long coughing fit (like Hillary). See - this word is so deep that even its pronunciation has several conspiring inter-connections. This word is such a brilliant one that I'll be surprised if "covfefe" don't win "Word Of The Year"!

I'VE NEVER

I've never seen fireworks so dark,

With blackness in every spark.

I've never had to strain my ears out

Trying in vain to hear you shout.

I've never been left so cold

By your chunks of molten gold.

I've never sniffed a smell so bad,

As the best perfumes ever had.

I've never tasted food so bland,

But only at Restaurant Ultra Grand.

I've never known a power so tame,

Always playing the nuclear game.

A TYCOON, A BUFFOON AND A BALLOON

A tycoon,

Sitting in his luxury saloon,

Sees the world in a cocoon.

A boon

To be born with a silver spoon,

Living an endless honeymoon.

A buffoon,

Fawned by his loyal platoon,

Sees agreement all too soon.

A loon,

Looking like a cute raccoon,

Lives inside his own cartoon.

A balloon,

Deflated by a stray harpoon,

Flies like a leaf in a monsoon.

A moon

That floods the night lagoon

Will vanish in the afternoon.

The tycoon 

Uses the balloon

To suffocate the buffoon

Aided by his raccoon

In a random cartoon

I drew one lazy afternoon!
