GST “Ownself Check Ownself” Many years later…

 GST “Ownself Check Ownself”

Many years later…


Is this a typical “ownself check ownself”?  Anywhere, it takes more than 5 years to discover the wrong.  The G is so powerful that even with a built-in self check system, it takes so long to discover the error.     


SimplyGo is lucky it takes less than one year.  But the G already knew the inconvenience and public dislike in advance.  They still went ahead, ignoring the feedback.  The u-turn costs $40 million to maintain the old system.  


Recently, the parliament also once again debated 

about Singapore’s reserve.  “Ownself check ownself” has been in place for many years since we started to accumulate and invest our reserves.   In fact, few people know how the “ownself check ownself” of Singapore reserve work. It is different from GST and SimplyGo and you may only find out whether the checking system works or not when there is a change of government.

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

After 60 years, after 3 failed political imaginations, the PAP is deteriorating...

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 inserting a single c
