The West urgently needs a Christian Reform or even Revolution

 The West urgently needs a Christian Reform or even Revolution


The first thing that the West must recognise is that they are no longer the centre of the world.  The West also fails to provide new ideas, new innovation, creation to the world, just like what they have displayed in Italy’s G7 meeting.   Their leadership is so weak that more than half of the G7 leaders will likely not be reelected.   


The West has benefitted from their religious reformation.  The Protestant work ethics have helped to build modern capitalism as well as colonisation, expansion and perhaps imperialism.  Look at the G7 leaders now, we see no Protestant or the reformed Catholic ethics.  In a Chinese saying, they have lost their “original hearts” (初心）.  They have forgotten how they achieved their current status and only look at the easy way to solve problems, without hard work and hard thinking.   

Christianism as the base of western civilization needs urgent reform.  They need to input different cultures, religions, customs to think of a philosophical way out.  Science may not help them at all.  When G7 leaders meet each other, they forget about the basic science, economics, and only welcome ideological, unrealistic solutions.


No wonder G7 is no longer fashionable.  People look at them as a past history, without a clear direction.  In this aspect, they can not help the world to develop.    They are trying to self protect their own interest, while getting harder and harder to repeat their past expansion, past enterprise spirit, innovation and new ideas. 


 It looks like the world is moving but the West wants to remain in their comfort zone.  Spirituality reform has to come in to rescue the falling west.  Think more about others, rather than thinking how to remain in power, how to win the election.  Even if they win the elections, even if they remain in power, they still cannot come out with better solutions, problems unsolved or even worse as their economies may crash.   

The new G7 financial arrangement for the Ukraine war confirms they have no money.  They have to destroy their own rule-based world financial system to get more money.

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition. My original aim is to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education system”. The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential candidates. Another policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion. Act 1 Gangster’s demand Imagine a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting ...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By i...

Is Prism Project Another Central Planning of the PAP?

There are 3 scenarios under the Prism Project#1 of Institute of Public Policy.  However, it looks more like the central scenario planning of the People’s Action Party. From the instructional menu of Prism Project Primer #2, participants were guided to a situation in 2022 and they have to imagine, within the Primer framework, to come out with 3 possible scenarios in Jun-Aug 2012.  2022. What a coincidence! Not long ago, PM Lee declared that he would like to hold the prime minister post for another 10 years. The other coincidence is the similarity between the 3 scenarios and the candidates of PE2011. How competitive and sustainable are the 3 scenarios to the people of Singapore and to the PAP?   Will the scenarios produce competitive and sustainable Singapore, Singaporeans or the PAP?  Perhaps, as what the Chinese say: planning cannot always catch up with changes.   And planning sometimes turns out the wrong, bad and unexpected results, espec...
