life in Singapore

A fine day going by, and a bad news comes along.
A friend has commited suicide, he was hiding himself, a funny fellow.
Someone , always there for the parties and sometimes even spoiling it.
But he was there, a nice chap, and we all have wonderful memories of David.

The last few days of David, must have been bad, I for once did not see him since 2002, the last in Batam, Indonesia.

We had a good time like so many other times.

Why did he have to do such a thing, someone who comes back to cook for his father.
A son who took real good care of his aging Dad, while the other sisters and brothers were so busy with their lifes.

Someone who managed to get his own roof, get a good job many people cannot do, he was an Air Traffic Controller.

Someone who did have his fair share of troubles with his own demon, the bottle.
He was drinking heavily, on his days but still being able to cope with whatever came by....Then why take his own life.

David, may God rest his soul....was in Depression....he was visiting a counsellor from IMH, Institude of Mental Health. He was given a 2 months leave an MC.

He gladly took it and was seen in church by friends, and even invited them to come the following week.

What followed after that was that, he realised that his company the Changi Airport would not pay his salary. They wanted to put him on a NO PAY LEAVE.

He went to the unions, the Singapore Unions are jack asses and they supported the employer, and poor Davis ended with NO PAY and still in Depression.

Why has Singapore become like this. They have literally pushed this friend of mine down. He jumped from a high rise apartment, next to his own.

He killed himself.
He was working for them for 15 years, he was single. An inrovert, yes, but a nice guy.

Now David is gone, a friend.

The recent raise to make multi million dollar PAP ministers to a much more mutli-million dollar MPs.

For that, I have to say....

Thank You for all to have voted, the PAP in....

if you are suffering through this hard period, suffer some more.

My last post, mentioned the raise which was imminent, no question about it....

they set the rules, and will play to their rules and it is our lives.

One should know that well....

A $241 million dollar civil service is going to cost Singapore $4.7b...my ..my... how many folds,mmmm i don't really want to count.

My question is about another law coming into play soon, this one about the Army being given rights to do the job of the police.

To tackle, terrorism, to tackle people who are violent.

Now, this law, is a good law, given,.... it is done in the right context

Now, if going against the government in future...on a protest,
does that constitude as violence, as a terrorist act....(naturally, they, the govt will not give any permit for people to do a protest march on anything...NO WAY , eg: Chee's march)

Now what happens then, the ARMY gets to move in,.... does it.

Can we see a Tainanmen, China 1980.....what..., forgot the year...

To take note,...

I see that the highest rise in pay are for this Uniformed groups.

These are funny co-relations I am setting forth, having a look at it and me being me.... this is how i see it.

You see I have seen too much of history. Therefore my thoughts are draconian.

This is how a good power hungry govt works and I am seeing all those signs.

Singapore bloggers are against it(pay raise),so are the people, everyday voices shout out.

Nope, no govt official bothered, to speak out against the raise, or the timing of it.

There were funny justifications, by the way....that people were envious.

I quit my job, amidst, the raise for these idiots( not all though).....

My commision was cut, I tend to lose about $400 dollars. So I said bugger you, and I quit.

That is how Singapore working world is. Boss would cut your salary just to make sure theirs increase. Now, who cares about performance. No one. Out with all the management gurus theories---who cares,---- this is Singapore.

There has been more shit swirling, i must add,

There is a sand ban on Singapore by Indonesia, our neighbours, due to "enviromental" claims.

Singapore is again in a shitty situation, because, the construction industry is main here, the govt spending on construction is super high, now without sand these guys have no way out.

Inflation(property) will skyrocket, which is anyway high.

The Singaporean property vale as I see it is already over valued, now this is creating another chaos.

In the midst, they have also stopped granite export...my... my...

this is truely testing Singapore's leadership...and we got to see how LKY's son will react.

Till then.....
