Can Singaporeans Be Gracious ?

Singapore time 8.10 am 16th January 2008

Singaporeans cannot be gracious with Lee Kuan Yew and PAP in authority. They give bad example for Singaporeans to imitate. Like the catch phrase "I will sue you in court", is used by many Singaporeans to intimidate fellow Singaporesns and others.

The way they treat the elite favourably and the down throdden shabily is sign they are ungracious. The way they treat the oppositions shows they are unrighteous and ungracious.

The way they treat foreign workers like slaves shows how ungracious they are.

Therefore if you want to have a gracious Singapore, you Singaporeans should vote out the PAP.

Graciousness comes from the top. You cannot expect the bottom people to teach top leaders how to behave. The people just follow the top leaders.

Retirement Is Not Death

Singapore time 9.05 am 15th January 2008

Don't listen to what Lee Kuan Yew said that retirement is death. He cannot retire is because he want absolute power. He dares not relish his political power afraid his enemies will go after him. At his position as 'mentor minister' he has police protection.

Retirement to me is doing self cultivation. Read scriptures, do meditation, write on websites and blogs on reflection of life and comments. Self cultivation means going on vegetarian diet or fruits diet, meditation and cultivate moral behavior.

Many who retired, spend on holidays, live lavishly or gamble away all their money. In the end, they become paupers waiting for charity.

Your retirement money is for you to survive till you die. If you have children and grandchildren, it is time to pass your life experience to the youngsters. If you do self cultivation, it is the merit that is to benefits your children and grandchildren. Bare this in mind. If you commit sins in the past, this is time to confess so the sins do not pass on to your children and grandchildren.

HDB Flats

Singapore time 8.41 am 14th January 2008

The price of new private designed unbuild HDB flats at Boon Keng Road are stiff and will give false sign to home buyers. For a 3 room-flat it costs S$349,000 to S$394,000. For a 4 room-flat it costs S$523,000 to S$ 597,000. And for a 5 room-flat it cost about S$536,000 to 727,000.

This price should be the subsidised price as compared to market price ? Or is this the market price ? If they are subsidised, then the market price will be higher by over 20% or more.

These flats are not condo with swimming pool and private compound. It is just the unit price. With demand, the false impression given is that HDB might build more of these flats in the future. In a way, this will increase the price of all HDB flats on a whole. Are we building a housing bubble ? Is this what the PAP or HDB want to see in the future ?

My flat was bought in 1978 for S$28,000. It is 4 room new NG type with flooring done. The market value is about S$200,000. Floor undone then it was priced at S$22,500.

So with new bunch mark for new flats, people will go for new rather then old flats. So old estate will have stagnant price. They can go up if more PRs buy them.

My suggestion is for all new HDB flats to be quoted at market price so all eligible residents can buy including PRs. Discount then can be deducted to eligible successful applicants like first time buyer for Singapore citizens. In this way, people can compare the price of HDB against private developments.

It is no use harping to citizens that HDB flats are subsidised. At market price and discount later, Singaporeans will know whether PAP government is telling lies.

Happy New Year

Singapore time 7.51 am 1st January 2008

Wish everyone a happy new year.

Regarding guava eating, it is best to take out the seeds. I ate whole and a few teeth were lost. So be reminded, you can loss your teeth when eating guava whole.

I would not know what is the future will be. I just want to do my duty to preach the TRUTH and get people to have their Mark on their foreheads Sealed by I-Kuan Tao groups. The TRUTH is that your Spirit is your God, Allah, Buddha, Tao, Brahman etc. It is at the Mark on your forehead.

I am also preaching my Confucianism. This is to save the world. See http://sg.geocities.com/alex_kew/image1/confucianism.gif for clearer explanation.
