[h=1]What is the message the FAP Traitors have for FTrash and SGs? To shower FTrash with more freebies to gain their votes while giving SGs the middle finger?

When Myanmar-born Maung Thet Naing Win, 19, first told his parents in 2011 of his wish to pursue a career with the Singapore Armed Forces, they instinctively baulked at the idea.

Having grown up and lived under the harsh rule of the former Myanmar military junta, they were adamant that their son not become a military man.

But officer cadet (OCT) Maung, who moved to Singapore with his family when he was just a year old and became a citizen in 2008, persevered at convincing them.

Yesterday, he became one of this year's eight recipients of the prestigious SAF Overseas Scholarship (Safos) in a ceremony at the Istana.

I also convinced my dad that his job stability depended on Singapore's peace and stability, and that in part comes from the SAF.

we must applaud the pap gov for having the vision, generosity and boldness to award prestigious scholarships to talented asean leaders of tomorrow. by sharing sg's success story, wealth, best practice and operational model with talents and future leaders of neighboring countries, the sg leaders are securing a very long term future of security, success and sustainability with a larger geo-political region in mind. if talented future leaders of surrounding countries were to adopt the sg model and turn those countries into the next batch of tiger economies, sg can pretty much leverage its progenitor and or spawner status to tap a larger developed market to achieve greater heights in almost every field of endeavor. she will be the beacon of the most advanced and progressive economy on the planet. 20 years from now when the u.s., japan, europe, china, russia and brazil were to falter and decline, the region of asean with sg as the focal point will rise to be lumber one. sinkies need to set aside their myopic thinking and embrace the greatness and benevolence of the pap. it is afterall for the "greater" of greater good sans borders.

The sell-off of sinkapore to foreigners is on track. Someday, this chap will become a cabinet minister, maybe even the PM.

although the parents are immigrants, this kid is essentially a sg citizen. despite one's history, ethnicity, background and previous nationality, if the person shows promise and prodigious potential, he or she needs to be discovered, identified, hunted down, courted and recruited with no money spared. a country with one genius is many times better than a large country with one million mediocre minions or a larger country with a billion morons. the success of the human race is periodically punctured by monumental breakthroughs of thought, experiment, invention and discovery along the thousands of years of recorded history. all it takes is a single genius of a particular field to start the wheel in motion (no pun intended) and a string of succeeding geniuses to keep the momentum going. meanwhile, the mediocre masses are there as props and an unnecessary burden to create the environment and society for these few geniuses to be born, nursed, nurtured and discovered. the truth in the harsh, merciless, unforgiving universe is that the many are fodder for the one to manifest and save all rather than one for the many. ultimately, everyone will be saved from obliteration and nothingness by securing chances and or opportunities for those few (chosen ones) to overcome levels of universal thresholds and barriers. quantum mechanics 101.

 

[steffychun]

This loyalty of the kid is still in question.

Netizens are questioning his loyalty.

Sinkees resent that our limited resources are given to foreigners. While he is 'technically' a sinkee, he wasn't born here. Are his parents sinkees? There ought to be a difference between those born here and those naturalized sinkee.
We all know that naturalized sinkees are a dime a dozen as the PAP government give them out like toilet paper, for eg. AStar scholars.

Naturalized is okay....many of our forefathers were not born here either but their hearts were in the right place.
This chap only naturalized in 2008.
I think need to set the bar at 10 years of living here, maybe longer. Perhaps a test or interview of sorts.

u speak as if singapore is made up exclusively of well educated self sacrificing flag waving chest thumping maid bashing uber humans.

sharing the wealth and success is fine, but you bloody well take care of your own too. or pay for it at the ballot box.

I can live with that.

Right now, sinkapore is giving out PR and citizenship like toilet paper. A foreigner can be a citizen without being a PR - probably the only country in the world that allows it.

The FAP Traitors have tried to psycho SGs to believe meritocracy and the mass importation of FTrash will benefit SGs. But what is the reality? Meritocracy is really Meleetocracy to put the Familee's cronies and their princelings in obscenely paid cushy positions of power. To ensure that they can stay in power forever to milk dry the country and to enslave SGs for generations to come against the rising tide of resentment from SGs, they have no qualms to importing 3rd world FTrash like there is no tomorrow to replace SGs. Rather than 'creating jobs for SGs', what these FTrash have really achieved is to take away resources, opportunities - SGs' birth rights from SGs and their children. Faced with such marginalization in their own country never seen before in modern history, SGs are even more reluctant to start families and have children, which further justify the FAP Traitors' opening of the FTrash floodgate further. The FAP Traitors are doing all they can to make FTrash feel welcome using SGs' blood and coffin money - raising and educating FTrash children for free, giving priority to FTrash in terms of jobs, education, housing, etc while middle fingering SGs. Their goal is to ensure SGs stay weak and divided and for the FTrash to outvote SGs in 2016.

To what remains of the 60%, you need to get your brain checked if you still think the FAP Traitors are saints. To those who have woken up, it is of no use having woken up without the courage to kick out the FAP Traitors. Between now and 2016, the FAP Traitors have to be overthrown before SGs have any chance of averting being perpetually trampled on by the FAP Traitors and FTrash and evetual extinction.

Will he become a "Snowden"...who do we know, he is not 'planted' here by the military regime of Myanmar??

'I lived in a house without electricity or modern sanitation, until my family moved into a three-room HDB flat. But our elders fought their way up and built the life we now have.'

He said he was saddened to read that some young Singaporeans had told the commuter paper Streats that rather than fight for Singapore, they would 'run at the drop of a hat' or felt 'no sense of belonging here'.

He had strong words for this lot: 'These people are fair-weather Singaporeans.'

'I call them quitters,

By "Emeritus Senior Minister's " definition above Maung Thet Naing Win is a fair weather Burmese and quitter.
They select this quitter(as called by GCT) to protect us? When the chips are down will this fair weather Burmese migrate to another country?

His parents claimed that having "lived under the harsh rule of the former Myanmar military junta and did not want him to become a military man ".
Haven't his parents heard of Brigadier General LHL, Rear-Admiral TCH,RADM LTY,Brigadier-General CCS,BG TCJ ,Col LHK.
The red dot is as harsh or even harsher than Burma and the PM, Dy PM and most cabinet members are military men.
Foreign talent indeed!

 

[Unrepented]

Given the background of the under developed country controlled by the junta, one wonders.....

How they manage to get out of the country
What are their connections
How much they paid to do the administrations, if they paid. Where the money came from?
Who spotted them
How were they spotted and selected and given permission to migrate.....

They want the youngers ones in my family to serve and possibily place their lives in harms way, under his command

FUCK YOU!!!, UNDERSTAND:oIo::kma:

Will he become a "Snowden"...who do we know, he is not 'planted' here by the military regime of Myanmar??

 

[Unrepented]

I heard hor, even some customs and border police are druggies. How tight will be border control Some police catch druggies to get drugs for themselves. If druggies share with them their daily doses, they let them go. The come another day.

Ice cream seller on motorcycle with sidecar also selling "whites" besides ice cream, and cruising around town like nobody business.

I head only lah:o

Unless some gahmen destroy the Golden Triangle , the Burmese junta will be around for a very long time
China White is still the driving force for these folks to join the military

forget any notion of nationality or loyalty or "foreigners vs. locals" or politics. these bullshit terms do not apply well in the sg context. sg, thanks to the pap masterminds (not the ordinary pap minions mind you), is sacrificed to be a world class mercenary, laundering and prostitution hub to allow massive human migration in order to sift out the best prodigies in the world. it's a trans-national filter. and out of the filtering of filth, a handful of gems can be harvested or discovered. a few gems are all it takes to open wormholes into new chapters of human existence in this brutal universe. the pap masters, again, are transcending beyond earthly boundaries. they need to be worshipped as gods.
