454 H1N1 cases, time for me to slam this!

Today's Yahoo News URL

I knew this will surely happen and was anticipating it. It happened exactly as I had expected.

Before the number of cases reached this level I was deliberately holding back from slamming the famiLEE LEEgime on their Epidemic Control Policies. I was awaiting for the mark of 500 cases, and this will be reached tomorrow or another day more at the most.

Cow Boon Wan had treated H1N1 with very slack and light attitude right from the beginning. He had even downgraded the alert measures from Orange level down to Yellow and not raised it since even until today. I think I should use the same word as (mis)used by Old Dog Thief Lee Kuan Yew regarding Ah Seng's lost of Mas Selamat - COMPLACENCY.

The famiLEE LEEgime fooled itself with it own propaganda and falsehood on their so called success in handling SARS, and they now believed in their own craps which they cooked up to bluff the others. They became COMPLACENT with their ability to handle H1N1. They had right from the start claimed that they were fully ready for anything, before the virus had reached many other countries.

The attitude of Cow Boon Wan our million dollar Minister of HELL is one of the Non-Essential & Slump 消极；无切要；无所谓 that he accepted defeat before beginning of war, that he took it that H1N1 will be spreading in Singapore any way. And he is Ok to see that happened. He thinks the H1N1's death rate is too low and he is COMPLACENT he have the flu medicine so things would not get out of hands.

But he is wrong, Singaporeans are going to die of H1N1 pandemic, and economic losses as well as unacceptable disruptions are going to be suffered by the republic as well as it's peasants.

Cow Boon Wan is paid millions of Singaporean tax dollars each year. He took the credits falsely from the SARS round and he inflated and multiplied this falsehood and rewarded his subordinates in the same matters of SARS. Singaporeans will suffer more pains and losses in H1N1 round than SARS. It will cost more than SARS. Spread deeper and wider than SARS and affect us more badly than SARS. Schools and Polytechnics are now closed for H1N1 already. It is Cow Boon Wan's responsibility and duty to address these, but we are going to get death; quaranteen; ailment; losses; and painful disruptions due to the poor attitude and policies of famiLEE LEEgime particularly FT Cow.

Unlike the SARS round, this time I will post some ideas and measures online. In the SARS round I refrain from providing any constructive and useful ideas. I had then only made a small exception regarding the idea of giving Video Conference to the dying SARS patients for their families to have some Cyber Access to them before they died. This exception I made was out of compassion only. I did not want to contribute any thing helful other than that.

In this round, I will show what famiLEE LEEgime could had done earlier but failed to do so. And I will do so not to help them but to show for comparison against their Incompetence (plus Complacency). I will be posting online, but not yet. The case number mark near 500 is still too low, and I should brutally wait on.

Singaporeans are urged to Watch Iranian Post Election Struggle

Yahoo News URL

3 Iranian presidential candidates and supporters had claimed Massive Election Frauds and defy clampdown in continued protests. Iranians of the current generation had probably not done this before. Their fathers probably had taken part in Anti-American protest and taking of US Embassy during the Jimmy Carter era. They are struggling against authoritarian / totalitarian regime alike the famiLEE LEEgime although they are of different background.

Without taking support on either side, this is still a struggle that offers experience and lessons to people of the world, especially Asians to watch and learn. In the scenario of Iran, election irregularities can be expected, as the infrastructure of government & election commission are closely coupled with the presidential incumbent the biasness can come either voluntary or unintentionally, just like in any long ruling regime the independence of civil servants and bodies of enforcements are expected to be skewed towards the incumbent ruler.

It is a valuable learning opportunity for Singaporeans, hence I urge Singaporeans to watch closely on the developments in Iran.

Huge pro-reform rally defies crackdown threats

By ANNA JOHNSON and ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writers Anna Johnson And Ali Akbar Dareini, Associated Press Writers – 23 mins ago

TEHRAN, Iran – More than 100,000 opponents of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have defied an Interior Ministry ban and were streaming into central Tehran to cheer their pro-reform leader in his first public appearance since disputed elections he claims were marred by fraud. Security forces are watching quietly, with shields and batons at their sides.

Monday's outpouring for reformist leader Mir Hossein Mousavi — swelling as more poured from buildings and side streets wearing the trademark green of his campaign — followed a decision by Iran's most powerful figure for an investigation into the vote rigging allegations.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Tens of thousands of supporters of pro-reform leader Mir Hossein Mousavi are streaming through the center of Tehran in a boisterous protest against election results that declared President Mamoud Ahmadinejad the winner.

The crowd — many wearing the trademark green color of Mousavi's campaign — was headed toward the capital's huge Freedom Square in the largest display of opposition unity since Friday's elections ended with Mousavi claiming widespread fraud.

There was no sign of violence or challenges from security forces. Anti-riot stood by with their helmets off and shields at their sides. '

The march Monday came hours of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ordering an examination into Mousavi's claims of vote rigging. But it was unclear how the investigation will proceed.

forum posting: Depression & The White House

In the first place I don't think what is deemed as another economic depression at the time being is exactly the same as the one just before the second world war. There are similarities in between them but the significant meaning in history will not be the same. Thee past depression would not be as serious as this one.

The fundamental reasons that they are NOT the same:

• The world population level at 1930 depression is only at about 30% of today's world population level. We have 3 times more people to feed today.
• The economic scenario in 1930 was much more rural agricultural, and today much more urban metropolis & industrialized. Cities where most people live today are much more vulnerable then countryside. There were only few stock markets in 1930s, people lived in very independent basics & produced their own needs. Today's people are critically interdependent on each other (& resources of each other) globally.
• In today's globalized scenario, economic crisis can not be contained to particular countries; regions; or continents, unlike the much more isolated scenario of the previous century's depression.

Take oil / fuel prices for example, in 1930 different people in different parts of the world depends on different sources and different types of fuels, and pay different prices to satisfy their own needs. Today we see only one single oil price datum for entire global economy, only few people can escape from this.

In the 1930s the world was still abundant with many kinds of resources with much less people to sharing them. Today's global resources had been seriously depleted & exhausted with 3 times as much people to compete for and more critically depending on these vital resources for survival. The level of desperation and distress is very severe and tense, there are much more crisis than solutions comparing now & then back in 1930s.

People today are much less willing to do hard works & make scarifies as well as face difficulties comparing to our grand simpler parents in 1930s. The people today expects more but really contribute much lesser as well as being more unwilling to suffer and do hard works than the people 2 generations ago. As a result people in today's urban world are indeed heavy burdens to one other, while in the old days of 1930s, people were much more inclined to be resources & assets or potentials to one another.

In 1930s era, fewer people had financial credits, fewer governments had deficits, or issues bonds, most businesses began with their own capitals and resources. Today, most people need to live on financial credits, it is common for governments to issue bonds to raise debts and operate on deficits, businesses widely depend on bank loans and or selling shares or bonds to raise operating capital, a single business failure can easily trigger chain-reaction in many others, which was uncommon in the old days.

The British Empire collapsed after World War II, but even the big number of colonies received mostly positive impacts the rather than negatives. The USSR collapsed in 1991, and together it took down all of the republics within it's federation as well as those within the Warsaw Pack or Eastern Block Nations into a serious negativities. The USA had yet collapsed, but it's negative impact already went globally.

This clearly showed more than just the closely interconnected vulnerabilities of this modern Globalized world.

The Empire Status & Superpower Status of USA will collapse starting from it's economy & finance. This is the rise and fall feature common to all empires similar with the Roman; the Persian; the Tang; the Han; Genghis Khan; the British Empire; the Japs; the Nazi; the Soviet etc.

This is not something for any president in the White House to alter or eliminate. Weather be it Obama or Lincoln or John McCain or Hillery Clinton, it will not make any difference. It is deep rooted, it is in grain, it is natural, it is regular and disciplinarian, and it is confirmed by history.

The British Empire rosed on it's territory colonialism & fell on the lost of it's colonies after depleting in World War II.

The Soviet Empire rosed on it's domino spreading of Communism Ideology, and fell after it failed to annex Afghanistan into Communism.

The US Superpower rosed by it's Economic Dominance & Free Market Influence, it will fall as soon as it's economic rivals gained stronger influence and global market dominance.

Part of the many symptoms of this ending cycle of US hegemony is being seen as the current Depression. It is only half-truth if you only see this economic side of the picture, neglecting the political aspects and developments in the stage of global strategic balance. The effects and phenomenons are all closely inter-linked and interactive between economic; political & military / security domains. The wars started by Bush in Afghanistan & Iraq are significant factors.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt implemented many programs and measures during the Great Depression. But most of that did not had chance to see any result before the USA sank into World War II. Ironically, the Declaration Of War against Japan signed by Roosevelt on the 8th December 1941 was his MOST EFFECTIVE solution to the Great Depression. After WW2 it was followed by an Economic Boom. :-)

It wasn't the intended solution, it was anything that Roosevelt had a choice about, since the Japanese Raided the Pearl Harbor on 7th December 1941, just the day before he had to declare war. It was not seen to have any positive factor to the Great Depression to be a part of the World War, not at all.

However, inevitably the wars brought great changes to the world and put Americans and many other people into extreme conditions that finally produced unexpected result of Economic Boom after the war had ended.

The noticed effects after war:

• The massive destructions from war demanded reconstruction and restorations, it was huge market vacuum for the economy to fill
• The massive lost of lives eliminated burdens on resources and changed level of dependency, great abundance of vacancies in human resources to fill jobs in post war restoration
• Massive redistribution of resources after collapse of Japs+ Nazi + British powers which dominated these vital resources, US & Russians took control of global resources after war
• People forced by war to get used to scarifies and suffering and hard works instead of indulged in luxury rotten lifestyles, they became efficient productive man power after wars, ex-soldiers and farmer became workers
• New World Order, new chapter for the world, reshuffled commercial financial industrial and agricultural scenarios after the wars

There are 2 well-known post-war economic booms, one also known as the Long Boom:

Post WW2 Boom（click here）

Many Americans feared that the end of World War II and the subsequent drop in military spending might bring back the hard times of the Great Depression. But instead, pent-up consumer demand fueled exceptionally strong economic growth in the postwar period. The automobile industry successfully converted back to producing cars, and new industries such as aviation and electronics grew by leaps and bounds. A housing boom, stimulated in part by easily affordable mortgages for returning members of the military, added to the expansion. The nation's gross national product rose from about $200,000 million in 1940 to $300,000 million in 1950 and to more than $500,000 million in 1960. At the same time, the jump in postwar births, known as the "baby boom," increased the number of consumers. More and more Americans joined the middle class. (more)

Long Economic Boom:（click here）

Postwar Boom: 1947-1973

The term the long boom is used by some historians to describe the period from approximately 1947 to the oil crisis of 1973 in which nearly all OECD economies experienced strong year-on-year growth. This was in part achieved through a complex number of factors mostly planned at the end of World War II. After the war, the major powers were determined not to repeat the mistakes of the Great Depression. They established the Bretton Woods system, setting up international institutions designed to ensure stability in the world economy. This was achieved through a number of factors, including promoting free trade, instituting the Marshall Plan, and the use of Keynesian economics. An alternative explanation for this period is the theory of the Permanent arms economy which suggests that the large spending on the military helped stabilise the global economy. (more)

Barack Obama promised to steer US out of Iraq War, but war is still on today both in Iraq & Afganishtan and had further spread into Pakistan. Security Crisis in North Korea & Iran as well as other hotspots such as Somalia are still ticking like bombs.

USA under Roosevelt entered a great war in the middle of Great Depression and led to not only an economic boom but the rather replacing the falling British Empire to be the new global predominance superpower, after the wars.

Bush started his War Of Terror & Gulf War II, triggering the US economy into this current depression, which Obama had to inherit from his moronic predecessor in White House. Obama promise to steer out of these wars, but he can NOT prevent the global hegemony from changing hands.

The smaller countries and economies tagged behind US had been receiving very negative impacts and will continue to suffer deeper as well as longer, as this global transition takes place. When the world economy stabilized in the next stage it will be a rather different world. Any idea hoping a quick return to good old days or swift recovery sweeping the enomous in grain dysfunctionalities are naive dreams.

It is an irrevesible bilateral transformation that is taking place, without the enormous mass resting properly in their respective new places, no one could expect any stability. Short term fluctuations and jerks are expected and we should not be misled by those.

No one should expect Barack Obama to have capability nor resources to undo the accumulated demerits from so many other presidents who had past the problems down one after another probrably from Lyndon Johnson till Bush (junior). Ironically instead of hoping economic magics from White House, one should just hope that nothing for the worse would be initiated from the White House.

I observed that Obama's present economic programs and policies are the reverse of Free Market Economy and Capitalism. That was published previously in the following blog post:

How BROKE is the USA? Fedaral Road Fund DRY by August 2009!

The sad scenario of the USA is alike the ex-Soviet Union. With it's military and national infrastructure suffering from the lack of financial resources, every aspect from space down to road to health-care and even the emergency epidemic prevention such as H1N1 A influenza. The US enjoy about a century of very strong development, FORD & GM were the very typical symbols of US industrial strength. America was deemed to be the world's capital of automobile and motoring, I enjoyed driving the interstate freeway in the USA, from Pacific coast to Atlantic coast; around the rims of 5 great lakes; from Florida Keys to Canada; my wheel tracks crisscrossed the entire North American Continent.

As road fund dries up, drivers must pay up

By the Monitor's Editorial Board The Monitor's Editorial Board – Wed Jun 3, 5:00 am ET

The federal kitty used to fix and build highways runs dry in August. It will be the second time in two years that the Highway Trust Fund, which was started in 1956 to build the Interstate system, hasn't collected enough gas-tax revenues to pay for critical needs in transport.

The reasons for the money shortfall are simple: With Americans driving less in a recession and also buying more-fuel-efficient vehicles, revenues from the gas tax are down. And it doesn't help that the federal fee of 18.4 cents per gallon hasn't been raised since 1993, despite inflation and more transport projects.

During the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama refused to endorse a gas-tax hike – and he still does. He sees it as adding a burden on the middle class and poor who must drive. But his argument weakened in recent days when he reversed himself on another campaign promise of not seeking a tax on employer-paid health benefits.

With the trust fund needing some $17 billion by September 2010, Mr. Obama should not let Congress again simply transfer that amount of money from general revenues to make up for the shortfall, as it did last year.

The US transport system is based on the concept of users paying for this government service. (The 2009 economic stimulus money that is designated for transport cannot be used by most states to make up for deficits in highway spending.) A user fee that generates a set amount of revenue also helps keep lawmakers from adding endless "earmarks" for pet transport projects in their districts.

A temporary revenue fix is also inappropriate because the law that authorizes the five-year US highway program expires Oct. 1. Congress is revving up to greatly alter the way that Americans get around.

The House plans to dramatically increase the program's spending from $286 billion to $450 billion. And a Senate bill would, for instance, require a total reduction in per capita motor vehicle miles traveled. It would also require that carbon dioxide emissions from surface transport be cut by 40 percent by 2030. And less of the nation's freight would be able to be carried by truck.

Obama's transportation secretary, Ray LaHood, even wants to get more Americans out of their cars. "We have to create opportunities for people that do want to use a bicycle or want to walk or want to get on a streetcar or want to ride a light rail," he says.

Such fresh thinking about the future of transport also requires fresh thinking on how to finance it. For now, that includes raising the gas tax as well as indexing it to inflation, although eventually government – both federal and state – will need to find other revenues from transport users.

Two recent commissions set up by Congress ask for immediate increases in the gas tax – one of them sought a 40-cent hike. But experts also point to other money sources as more vehicles, especially electric ones, use less gas.

One idea is to tax vehicles by miles driven. Oregon has had success in testing this method, although it raises privacy issues and critics say it penalizes those who buy fuel-efficient vehicles. And such a system would take years to implement.

In the meantime, Americans are stuck with raising the gas tax, as unpleasant as that might be.

It's time for the president to back it.

Obama's attitude towards Muslims is 100X better than Bush's

Here is something that can be expected of Obama, that he begin to attempt to undo some of the worst deeds of Bush Administration. I wish Obama luck on this. To undo such thing can be 10X harder then doing it. He moves in the right direction on this aspect, and in this policy I am glad to give him my support.

I am of the view the moron Bush did a very deep damage in this aspect, it is a very long term burden to any US president and diplomats after Bush Jr era. Feud and hatred is not easy to fade and wash-out. A partial success in this aspect would be considered as good.

While Obama as Commander In Chief is still fighting on going wars in Afghanistan & Iraq, his olive brunch will be seen as a false front or hypocrisy or lack sincerity at the very least by the Muslims & independent observers. I see this as a diplomatic strategy. He is able to ease some racial and religious tension within the USA by this move even if the effects in the international level is minimum. :-)

Analysis: Obama offers unclenched fist to Muslims

AP – U.S. President Barack Obama addresses an audience at the Cairo University in Cairo, Egypt Thursday, June …

By STEVEN R. HURST, Associated Press Writer Steven R. Hurst, Associated Press Writer – Thu Jun 4, 8:26 am ET

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama offered the world the audacity to hope for peace in the Middle East and a better understanding between the United States and Muslims. Still, a president known for his soaring oratory admitted his words alone would not change a thing.

"No single speech can eradicate years of mistrust," he said.

A vast array of knotty issues cloud American relations with the Muslim world, but none rankles like U.S. ties to Israel and massive support for the Jewish state in the heart of the Arab Middle East.

In a sharp break with U.S. policy, Obama approached his historic Cairo speech by opening a public rift last month with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, publicly demanding that he stop building settlements on the West Bank. The newly elected Israeli leader has refused, leaving him openly on the outs with Washington and in a position that could shorten his tenure at the top of the Jewish state's government.

Obama said the U.S.-Israeli bond was "well-known" and "unbreakable," but that Washington "does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements."

Obama's approach was sweeping and evenhanded throughout the speech.

In the face of likely criticism at home, the deeply pragmatic American president, a black man whose father and grandfather were Muslim, owned up to serious American mistakes in relations with followers of the Prophet Muhammad. But he warned, recalling the terrorist attacks in the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001: "America can never tolerate violence by extremists."

Key to cutting through the Middle East thicket and bettering U.S.-Muslim relations, Obama said, was construction of a durable peace among Arabs and Israelis, a willingness on all sides to make difficult and politically dangerous sacrifices to reach a goal that has eluded the world for six decades.

Speaking from the lectern in an ornate hall at Cairo University in a speech also sponsored by al-Azhar, one of the oldest centers of Islamic learning, Obama issued an ambitious seven-point manifesto for improving U.S. ties with the Islamic world and its estimated 1.5 billion Muslims.

While the majority of the world's Muslims live in Asia, the growing Islamic militancy took root largely in the Middle East. The dramatic strike against the United States on 9/11 was the work of Arabs under the direction of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, who was born in Saudi Arabia.

Bin Laden cited anger at U.S. support for Israel and the presence of American forces in Saudi Arabia as the guiding grievances of the terrorist organization that drew American forces into wars in Afghanistan, where bin Laden was believed to be hiding, and Iraq, which was flooded by al-Qaida fighters after the U.S. invasion in 2003.

Those wars and U.S. policy toward Israel have produced a growing belief in the Muslim world that the United States is at war with Islam.

Recalling his speech in Ankara, Turkey, earlier this year, Obama said: "America is not — and never will be — at war with Islam."

And he restated American plans to be out of Iraq by the end of 2011 and declared U.S. forces would leave Afghanistan as soon as Washington could be sure it and neighboring Pakistan no longer were safe havens for bin Laden and his terrorist compatriots.

But Obama dwelled most heavily on an Arab-Israeli peace.

"Too many tears have flowed. Too much blood has been shed," he said.

"It is easy to point fingers," the president said. "But if we see this conflict only from one side or the other, then we will be blind to the truth: The only resolution is for the aspirations of both sides to be met through two states, where Israelis and Palestinians each live in peace and security."

Easy to say. Harder is overcoming six decades of hatred and bloodshed, and the entrenched interests that face Obama at home, where it will be difficult to defend policy that appears to tip too far away from Israel.

Public To Be Vigilant & Ensure Fairness for victim of alleged Police Chief Molest

This is a call for Public to stand sentinel and keep watch to ensure no violation of rights and fairness to the waitress of Shangri-La Hotel's Shang Palace Chinese Restaurant who alleged that police Tanglin Division Commander Superintendent Paul Lim Choon Wui had molested her.

To be fair, I acknowledge that a Superintendent is equally pressurized and feel vulnerable in a high public office to be accused of committing such offense.

However a civilian woman working as a waitress is surely in a low social hierarchy to suffer unwanted sexual advancement from a Superintendent of Police. There is no doubt in this. The additional pressure and stress she will go through as a victim of a sexual offense case under then hands of the same police force commanded by the superintendent is something not a man in the street can imagine.

This is putting the police force actually to a test because there isn't any Internal Affairs Department in SPF unlike other places.

Actually for the alleged offense to be at the Shangri-La Hotel I believe that fell into the jurisdiction of Tangling Police Division which is exactly where Superintendent Paul Lim Choon Wui was the commander.

Now the Head Of Investigation, Chief Investigation Officer & Investigation Officers etc will be investigating against their own very commander. That is a big test for these officers and the whole department. Even though this commander had been officially replaced, his actual personal influence within the police force and Tangling Division is not really affected by this replacement.

The members of public have to keep a watchful eye and be prepared to do our duties to up hold public justice when necessary.

Ex-Tanglin police chief under probe

THE recently replaced commander of the Tanglin Police Division, Superintendent Paul Lim Choon Wui, is being investigated by the police after a waitress at the Shangri-La Hotel alleged that he had molested her.

The alleged incident happened early last month at Shang Palace, a Chinese restaurant in the five-star hotel off Orchard Road.

The 38-year-old bachelor was with a group of about 10 friends in a private room at the restaurant at that time. It is understood that Supt Lim was the only police officer in the group, and the dinner was a private event.


Lianhe Zaobao reported that Supt Lim was currently on holiday. He joined the police force in 1990.

The Tanglin neighbourhood police post, which he used to head, has received two "Best police post" awards.

Royal Discount in Rule Of Law by the famiLEE LEEgime

My relevant news posting thread in Sammyboy.Com

Firstly I commend the officers of Singapore Police Force in their reported efforts in freeing the 17 year old wife (Ma nohara Odelia Pinot) of Kelantan Price, from the control of Royal Bodyguards at Crown Prince Hotel. I believe that area of Orchard is under Central Police Division. Well Done! Although some officiers from Central Police Division at taken many actions against peaceful protesters and activists such as arresting myself, I hold no grudge from commending them for their act of justice to rescue a young woman forcefully deprived of her freedom.

At least for this matter I recognized that you had really done the job for justice and served your duties as police officers are expected to.


However, I think the Singapore Police Force can still do better than what had been done.

I am here by making opened call to Wong Kan Seng as the Minister Of Home Affairs, to take necessary and proper action for this case of alledged crimes committed in the jurisdiction of Rep of Singapore, that the young woman was held in Crown Prince Hotel Orchard Road against her own free will, she claimed to be injured and sexually abused.

I disagree that Rule Of Law can be compromised and justice can be discounted for the Malaysian Royals when they are in Singapore. All the laws of Singapore should be applicable to the Royals and their servants and bodyguards. There should be no neglect nor discount nor favorisum.

Although dipomatic immunity may apply to the Malaysian Royals on diplomatic passport, they can be free from prosecutions, but their servants and bodyguards may not have such priviledge. However it seemed that no investigation had been conducted against these alledge crimes at all. According to the press statements of the victim, it seemed that Wongful Confinement had been committed in Singapore at the Crown Prince Hotel. Possible Offenses against Penal Code sections 340 343 344 346 should be investigated. Kidnapping & Abduction might had also been committed and needs proper investigation. Marital Rape & Hurt or other offenses might also had been committed against the victim in Singapore.

Then the following 2 sections of penal code must also be highlighted:

365 Kidnapping or abducting with intent secretly and wrongfully to confine a person

366 Kidnapping or abducting a woman to compel her marriage, etc.

I am surprised that the victim was arranged to leave Singapore in a great hurry, before any investigation. She did not seem to have received medical care nor examination in Singapore after being rescued by police. Why? Is that a proper & regular treatment / procedure?

Is that showing that famiLEE LEEgime is treating Malaysian Royals differently apart from any other persons? That is violation of constitutional equality clause 12, that assure that every person to be equally protected by law.

Mr. Wong please show the world that you can up hold the rule of law, although you had let Mas Selmat fled from ISD and failed to get him back here after 1 year and 4 months. Please show the world that there is no discount for Royals in Justice and Rule Of Law. Is that something too difficult for you? Can you leave that million-dollar job to a better person if you find it to difficult to cope with.

In this case of Royal Sex Slave, the entire world heard that Ma nohara Odelia Pinot had fled from a hotel in Orchard Road where she was held against her will and was held to suffer abuses. There is obviously serious Violation of Law & very basic rights of a person commited here, and your ministry can keep silent about it all the way?

Fortunately she had fled from a lift instead of taking a toilet break like MSK.

Malaysian Police had helped you to arrest Mas Selamat, it is time now for you to return the great favor by arresting the Royal Sex Abuser for them. How can you miss this opportunity to trade favor and forge tie with Najib's govt? I am suggesting a win-win deal for you both - BN Regime & famiLEE LEEgime, you don't have thank me for this, but just stop dissapointing the Singaporean peasants, OK?

Related Blog Post on Obama

What am I talking about?

It is the US Automobile Industry starting from General Motors. It will Enlarge into other areas such as AIG Visa & other US business that are in DEEP TROUBLES. Obama is crashing and squandering billions after billions into these failing and dying businesses just like Ho Jinx, I am afraid. And Obama will eventually build up another TemaSEX & GIC in the USA.

The major difference is Obama is State-Owning the originally Private businesses, famiLEE LEEgime is privatizing or famiLEE proprieting the State Businesses the rather. :-Z

The similarity is they are all going to make the tax payers bankrupt.

General Motors files for bankruptcy protection

NEW YORK – General Motors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday as part of the Obama administration's plan to shrink the automaker to a sustainable size and give a majority ownership stake to the federal government.

GM's bankruptcy filing is the fourth-largest in U.S. history and the largest for an industrial company. The company said it has $172.81 billion in debt and $82.29 billion in assets.

"The General Motors board of directors authorized the filing of a Chapter 11 case with regret that this path proved necessary despite the best efforts of so many," a company statement said. "Today marks a new beginning for General Motors. ... The board is confident that this New GM can operate successfully in the intensely competitive U.S. market and around the world."

As it reorganizes, the fallen icon of American industry will rely on $30 billion of additional financial assistance from the Treasury Department and $9.5 billion from Canada. That's on top of about $20 billion in taxpayer money GM already has received in the form of low-interest loans.

GM will follow a similar course taken by smaller rival Chrysler LLC, which filed for Chapter 11 protection in April. A judge gave Chrysler approval to sell most of its assets to Italy's Fiat, moving the U.S. automaker closer to a quick exit from court protection, possibly this week.

通用小檔案－美第３大破產案 旗下８品牌縮為４個

更新日期:2009/06/01 02:39 黃文正／綜合報導

通用汽車（ＧＭ）本周若聲請破產保護，不僅將成為美國史上三宗最大的企業破產案之一，同時也是歷來規模最大、最複雜的製造業破產案。

通用成立於一九○八年，而今年迄已接受美政府一九四億美元的紓困，接下來還可望獲三百億美元新金援，成為實質的國有化企業。以下為通用相關資料。

在財務方面，用去年虧損三一○億美元，過去四年累計虧損達八二○億美元。去年通用在全球賣出八三○萬輛汽車，遠低於前年的九三七萬輛。通用在三月底時，資產約八二○億美元，若聲請破產，將為美國史上第三大破產案，僅次於雷曼兄弟的六九一○億美元、以及世界通訊（WorldCom）的一○四○億美元。

此 外，在品牌部份，通用旗下擁有雪佛蘭（Chevrolet）、別克（Buick）、紳寶（Saab）、凱迪拉克（Cadillac）、釷星 （Saturn）、悍馬（Hummer）龐帝克（ Pontiac）和ＧＭＣ八個主要品牌。通用今年計畫賣掉紳寶、釷星和悍馬，明年底之前再處理掉龐帝克，希望專心經營佔總銷售量八三％的剩餘四個品牌。

通用在去年底時，共雇用廿四萬三千名員工，其中正式員工七萬三千人、時薪工人十七萬人。在通用美國廠的勞工中，有五萬四千人加入「聯合汽車工會」（ＵＡＷ）。若走向破產，通用將僅次於零售連鎖集團Kmart，成為聘雇員工總人數第二高的破產企業。

在供應商和經銷商部分，通用每年採購預算高達九四○億美元；供應商約三千二百家。通用計畫在明年底之前，將目前約六千家經銷商裁減至三千六百家。

通用聲請破產　美加政府巨資入主

更新日期:2009/06/01 18:39 趙元穎　孫明愷

有百年歷史的美國通用汽車，在台灣時間今晚8點半左右，正式聲請破產！儘管美國政府從去年底開始，先後撥款194億美元紓困，仍然是無力回天。上星期五通用股價首度跌破1美元，只能夠聲請破產保護，置之死地而後生，美國和加拿大當局打算在通用聲請破產後，再砸4百億美元協助通用進行重整，美加兩國政府將有70%的股票，通用汽車也因此形同國有企業，美國總統歐巴馬將在台北時間今天深夜，針對通用破產發表談話。

在全球金融海嘯的衝擊下，美國百年汽車大廠通用撐到現在，還是不支倒地。CNN主播：「通用即將聲請破產，預計在美東時間8點鐘，正式提出破產聲請。」

通用打算組織再造，把旗下品牌從8個減到4個、關閉14間車廠，全球裁員4萬7千個職位，也會減少40%的經銷商。CNN資深記者：「GM會瘦身，更少的品牌、更少的員工，之前通用就已經宣佈裁撤大批經銷商。」

通用置之死地而後生，一切重頭開始，員工也願意讓步，大幅刪減福利和退休金，一起共體時艱。通用經銷商：「通用在美國史上佔有一席之地，成立百年的公司一路走來，總是免不了碰上一些顛簸。」

從2005年開始，通用就嚴重虧損，去年底美國政府砸了將近2百億美元，拯救苟延殘喘的通用，卻還是免不了走上破產命運；美國和加拿大在通用破產後，將再砸4百億美元，協助通用重整，未來美加兩國政府總共會接收新通用公司72%的股權，為美國資本主義寫下歷史新頁。

CNN記者：「通用發明了汽車貸款，推出車展女郎，通用也是第一家聘請設計師，而不用工程師來提出新車概念的車廠。」

通用骨董車帶動美國懷舊風情，1百年來和美國流行文化密不可分，電影、電視、流行歌曲都有它的蹤影。曾是全球第一，曾經叱吒風雲，通用卻一步步被日本進口車打敗，令人不勝噓唏，百年車廠GM不死，現在只能從錯誤中再學習，從破產谷底中，重建通用的汽車王國。

With the amount of state funds and tax payers' dollars slammed into it, GM is literally and state owned business just like famiLEE LEEgime Singapore Automotive Engineering SAE with politicians such as Obama himself from the White House nosing into the management and the White House literally will be a higher board above GM's board of directors. In the USA unlike famiLEE LEEgime' red dot government were always operating apart from businesses and government don't do business like Lee Kuan Yew old dog thief's famiLEE LEEgime.

Under Obama's economic policy USA is becoming a communist economy, where by state resources under political leadership is constantly pumped into failing state run and state owned business, in order to keep them afloat and keep jobs for the people. Capitalist states usually oppose and criticize this sort of measures and policies. However when the US empire takes it route to crash down alike to ex-Soviet Union, it is adopting Soviet's old policies in it own struggle for survival.

I discussed this in previous blog post and forum.
