Let us look at the meaning of mercenary:
A mercenary is a person who takes part in an armed conflict, who is not a national or a party to the conflict and is “motivated to take part in the hostilities by the desire for private gain.” or to be precised “Soldier of Fortune”.
Governments employ mercenaries as they begin to lose the support of their own people.
During Gadhafi’s last days, he hired former soldiers from Yugoslavia, Mali and other African nations to shore up his support to fight against his own citizens but in the end he lost the battle. Every good thing must one day come to an end. The PAP know they are facing a losing battle: people have lost faith in them, people are just fed up with ever higher cost of living and the government just could not care less, instead paying themselves the world’s highest salaries.
In every election their support dwindles. Their only recourse, as with any other government losing control, is bringing in “soldiers of fortune”. Of course they do not use guns, they use different tactics; opening the floodgates to impoverished nations, giving easy access to our universities even with their schools’ questionable standards.
Questionable and fake degrees are given easy access to our job market. They speed up the citizenship of these new EPs and SPs in the hope they will vote for the PAP. Community centers encourage the new citizens to join the RC – WAH LAH!!!, they too have their mercenaries.
Readers, this is done with a purpose, nothing but to shore up support for the ruling party. My former Burmese tenant with questionable qualifications was allowed to have easy access to Singapore universities, after 5 years, he is now a Singapore citizen; he is also now an RC member.
The government sponsors foreign students with our taxpayers’ money, this being one way of getting their support when the election is held. In the last Punggol by-election, we saw many Filipino RC members in full force supporting the PAP but at the end of the day, they lost; not enough new citizens to shore up the winning numbers. This time around they are battle-ready, with half a million new citizens, they are confident of winning this time around.
They are in government not to serve the people but to serve themselves and their closest supporters. Will it backfire one day? Without our taxpayers’ money would Singtel be what it is today? Yet we pay the highest World Cup fees; is this how they repay us? Not only SingTel, for transport and housing they use our taxpayers’ money yet we pay premium prices. It is our money that funds all these corporations. We have seen old folks cleaning tables and collecting old boxes and cardboard. There are people who have no food on their table and yet our politicians are being paid the most.
Readers, they are not here to serve us, they are at war with us – they treat us as their enemies. There are already casualties of this war, practically every day we hear of our fellow Singaporeans being displaced by these mercenaries. We have seen civil wars in Syria and how the government used mercenaries for their war efforts. We do not need to go there to observe, the war is here now, the government is battling its own citizens, that is why there is practically negligible social salvation by the government; they do not care as they treat us as their enemies.
We have mercenaries in sports who are paid vast sums to win trophies in major competitions. They have practically no shame.
Our government is becoming the world’s laughing stock. Every second, every minute, every hour, they are plotting against us. Their tools of war – community centers, National Service – where one is being molded, taught to be subjugated like an obedience school for dogs- local media, playing propaganda messages and last but not least, now the MERCENARIES.
They are not interested in Singaporeans’ benefit but only in their own benefits – their families’ and their close supporters. They do not know the meaning of being a true government.
