Here we go again! Another USA naval destroyer collision!
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/us-destroyer-collision-off-singapore-rescue-efforts-launched-011202596.html
USA destroyer collided with a container ship in June 2017. This time, another USA destroyer collided with a tanker ship.
Look like USA naval prowess is going downhill. If USA destroyer cannot avoid big ships, how can it fight in a war? USA navy is not combat-operational nowadays.

AWARE is trying to destroy our military forces.
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/cnainsider/stop-being-a-girl-and-man-up-boys-face-gender-police-even-as-men-9139700
Without harsh words and hurtful psychological stresses, our military forces will be very weak and we can never fight a war with such weak mentality.
If you look at the military trainings in other western countries like USA and Russia, their military trainings involve verbal and physical abuses to turn their men into tough operational forces.
Men in Singapore have a responsibility to protect Singapore compared to other men in other countries but AWARE doesn't understand this. National interest is above all other things in Singapore because without a strong and tough military force, there won't be Singapore.
I'm very disappointed in AWARE for having such a myopic viewpoint.

Who helped North Korea to develop its missiles program?

The articles pointed out that Ukraine was the main culprit because it was selling the rocket engines in the black market and Iran provided the guidances.
Therefore, China and Russia are not the parties involved.

Li Sheng Wu, son of LHY, fled Singapore.

This shows that he has no confidence in our judiciary system because he believes it will be manipulated by his uncle, PM Lee.
If a man of his stature doesn't believe in Singapore, we have to ponder about our future in Singapore too.

South Korea wants to honour comfort women.
https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/aug/16/buses-seoul-comfort-women-statues-korea-japan
South Korea trashes Japan's hope to cover up its war crimes by honouring comfort women in the buses.
Our PM Lee was definitely offending South Korea and China by asking Japan to stop apologizing for its war crimes. Singapore was also a victim back then but we must support Japan because of our close fraternity with the USA. Sigh!

This Chinese invented robot takes the world by storm.
Japan government cannot hide its war crimes anymore!
NHK, a Japanese media, had published a documentary about Unit 731 which the Japanese government had denied. The truth shocked the Japanese citizens!
http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0817/c90000-9256796.html
Even with this documentary, the Japanese government still refuses to acknowledge its war crimes.
Furthermore, our PM Lee also supported Japan's stance by asking Japan not to apologize anymore.

Shared bikes business model is a flawed business concept.
This type of business model doesn't make sense at all in a real world.

World War 4 has started between China & India.
http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/diplomacy/article/2106954/chinese-and-indian-soldiers-said-involved-melee-indian-sources
It was said that WW4 would be fought with rocks because WW3 had destroyed everything.
Look like this is true after all because China and India are fighting with rocks now. Heehee!

Singapore banks are facing strong headwinds in Oil & Gas sector.

We did state in our previous postings that banks were not forthcoming in their oil & gas loan exposures.
http://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2017/08/watch-out-for-dbss-2nd-half-earnings.html
They should be more transparent about their loan exposures but they didn't. This showed that shareholders' accountability is not at the top of their minds and the management just wanted to be hush about the banks' poor performances.

Our poll showed that our readers knew that Wee Kim Wee was not our first elected president.
