Behind the Military Budget

Singapore's defence budget for 2007 has increased from $10 billion in 2006 to $10.6 billion in 2007. To make up for the extra costs, an increment in tax has been levied on the citizens of Singapore with effect 1st July.

Several of Singapore's brains have been wondering why the defense spending has risen and risen time and time again. One of Singapore's top thinkers, Mr. You Zhu Yi, has speculated that the real reason behind the rising defense budget is Singapore's black plan to unify ASEAN under the Singaporean flag. Said Mr. You: 'we have observed Singapore purchasing large amounts of weaponry, like the new F-15SG Strike Eagle and the new Leopard 2 tanks from Germany, complete with armament. Based on that, and based on Singapore's recent disputes with Thailand and Indonesia, we postulate what the Gahmen has become disillusioned of its neighbours.'

Singkie Conspiracies approached the SAF but were declined comment on the grounds of 'national security.' However, a spokesman, LTC Wu Ming Shi, noted that 'SAF is full of men. Men is like toys one.'

Will we see ASEAN unified? The War of Sand and the War of Shin Corp are still two red-hot intraregional issues.

Intruders Arrested and Detained by SBF
by Talkcock news Agency

After the surprising revelation by the States Times that Zheng Hu has sent teams of commandoes into cyberspace to "fix" the anti zheng hu views online, the War on Bloggers has escalated. Just a few hours ago, sources from Sammyboy Forum announced that they have detained several suspected infiltrators under the Sammyboy Forum Democratic Security Act. This Act was enacted to prevent outsiders from destroying one of the few remnants of "pure democracy" online.

The spokeman for sammyboy, who has declined to give his name in fear of reprisals at his housing estate (Eg, no water supply, electricity cut, lift breakdown or next election end up in potong pasir or hougang constieuncy), told TNA that by sifting through SBF forumers posts, they have identified several people who could be members of the Zheng Hu Cyberspace Commando Squad. Forumers such as Goh Bock Seng have been arrested and are being detained in one of the off shore islands to the north of singapore.

"It is in the name of Democratic Security that we have detained several members of the papist conspiracy!" says the Spokesman. When asked whether they would be interrogated, the Spokesman said it will be in line with international standards of interrogation, which leaves TNA baffled since no one knows what international standards are. When quizzed further, the spokesman reluctantly acknowledged that interrogation would involved dunking in water, blowing with air con, watching Singapore Rebel by MArtyn See, watching speeches of Low Thia Kiang and Chiam See Tong, and watching the victory parade at Hougang and Potong Pasir.

Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports suggest that in line with Remaking party and remaking singapore, these counterinsurgents will be getting a new name soon. Though Deep Throat is reluctant to say anything, other sources indicate that the name of the Commando squad will be changed to Team Elite, in line with the Party Line.

Breaking News: 2 Cpls sent to DB
by Talkcock News Agency

Just yesterday, 2 cpls of the SAF were sentenced to 9 mths in DB. Their crime? For writing vulgarities in a USMS form (some kind of form where u write ur thoughts on how to improve the system, then the paper is either thrown away or left somewhere; then ur asked to write more forms so as to complete some kind of quota, but of course the cycle repeats itself and the feedback is never considered by the powers that be).

While the name of the corporals has not been released to the press, the SAF have sent their spokesmen, SSG Hong Lai Shu (translated to Pineapple Soh) , to give a statement.

" The two peepur uh...do the wrong thing... so must be punished. Write vulgarity on the USMs form is a serious chart and hen must be deat wit so that can preserve the image of the Assaf."

Naturally TNA did not know what the F he was saying, especially after it was revealed that Hong Lai did not know how to spell cement, calling it semen , and pronouncing discretion as description so our reporters went on the ground to find out more. Apparently the 2 Cpls were what people would call hokkien peng, thus the heavy sentence meted out as they 1) had no mini-star to write a letter for them, 2) had no results to act as mitigating factor and lastly had no talent in playing piano, which ruled out a fine. On further questioning, our informants on the ground revealed that the two cpls had been forced to fill up 10 usms forms otherwise they would face a penalty for "disobeying superior orders". In desperation they gave feedback on how to improve the welfare of the NSFs. When a copy was given to our senior correspondent Gan Ni Na, he was surprised to find that there was no F word or even the commonly used CB in the form. When quizzed further, the informant finally passed this slip of paper with the following words;

“We have treated welfare as a dirty word. The opposition, I think the Workers’ Party, has called for a ‘permanent unconditional needs-based welfare system’. I think that is an even dirtier five words,” he (PM Lee) said in a speech on Nov. 13.

Singapore to Create Area 51 for 'Aliens'

In November 2006, the Singapore Tourism Board announced plans to develop the six islands off the southern tip of Sentosa into a highly classified and exclusive area.

The Gahmen hopes to attract foreign investors to the further development of the area. The Southern islands are intended to be transformed into a luxury resort destination for the rich and well-heeled (i.e., not the typical citizen.) It has been compared to The Palm Islands in Dubai, a getaway for the ultra-wealthy.

Currently, a Chinese temple and a rich ecosystem is all that these islands offer.

Because the planned resort is said to be a getaway for the ultra-rich (which are generally the Men in White and the White Man, with his bevy of SPGs,) locals have taken to calling the new project 'Area 51,' after the secret US air base where alien technology is supposed to be carried out. As a local put it, 'kana lah, all these foreign talent all so wu lui, we definitely no fight one lor. Gahmen treat aliens better than their own people! Don't say we alienate them [politicians] hor...'

Said a Finn living in Singapore as an alien foreign talent (who beats people up because his dog got attacked): 'it's great to see the Singaporean government doing such measures to ensure that foreigners are attracted so Singapore. Singapore is the tourist hub of the future. Long live the Singaporean system.'

When asked if ordinary Singaporeans would have access to the resort, an STB spokesman, Wu Ming Shi, noted that 'of course they can come to the resort if they don't feel out-of-place. We want to treat our citizens better than foreigners, so if foreigners can go, why citizens cannot? However, just like the casino (which is free for foreigners but Singkies must pay $100/24 hours) to make sure you do not get addicted to the idle life, you will have to pay a fee to be determined to stay on the island for 24 hours.'

Remaking Robin Hood

by Gan Na Bai from Talk Cock News Agency

For the past hundreds of years, the poor of England have been living in relative comfort, having had champions in the guise of Robin Hood and his merry man. Robin Hood as we all know, has been reknowned for stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. In fact, The International Herald Tribune ( a poor replacement of our GLORIOUS and extremely Non-POLITICAL States Times) has named Robin Hood as one of the worst Villains ever to roam merry ole England.

However, it appears that things have changed. Friar Fark, our very own TCNA correspondent has reported an alarming trend. For the past few days, many of the poor have suddenly been accosted and robbed. There are even more disturbing reports that Robin Hood and his gang are involved. At the time of this report, the Sherriff's office has issued the following press statement.

" At long last someone has decided to do something about these underachieving overassuming leeches. Its a wonder why they have survived so long in a society which I quote is by far the survival of the fittest.Its time they got out of our Elite uncaring faces."

It appears that the statement was drafted by the Sherriff's daughter. When asked by our correspondent how can a custodian of the law use such foul language to describe the less unfortunate, the Sherriff replied that "if u cut thru the language, her point is basically there. Some people just cant take the brutal truth."

Meanwhile, it appears that Robin Hood has decided to lift the veil of secrecy by handing a written statement to the press. While TCNA cannot confirm the truthfulness of the statement, we have decided to publish the letter in full...

" Dear All, after playing hide and seek with the sherriff and his gang for the past hundreds of years, we have decided to stop trying to effect our change from the outside and have chosen to be CO-opted into the system. Thus we have decided to take our cue from a certain country that was once Britain's Impregnable Fortress in the Far East. After creating a committee to study the feasibility of our party's operations, we have decided that opposition to the ruling party is futile and have decided to try and effect changes from within, which is what many members of the ruling party in the former colony have done. Rest Assured that we will ensure No One is left behind, so unless ur No One, u wont be left behind. Furthermore we have adopted one of their proposals, which is to steal from the poor and give to the poor. This is because if u steal from the rich, the rich will see their incomes decrease and will become more corrupt. Therefore i encourage all good citizens to close ranks under my new motto, Staying Together and Moving Forward. Thank you."

Human Experimentation I: Political Dissidents

I quote singabloodypore...

'During the brief half an hour meeting, Dr Chee revealed that he had not eaten since the morning of Monday 27 November. This was because every time he ate what was served to him, he would FEEL NAUSEOUS AND DIZZY AND THEN THROW UP. Normal sounds such as the jangling of the guard's keys and even the sound of his cell mate urinating are AMPLIFIED CAUSING HIM MASSIVE HEADACHES. He has not been able to sleep and has been taking valium to help him rest. Dr Chee has also lost a considerable amount of weight.

A close friend of ex-remisier Mr Boon Suan Ban who was committed to Institute of Mental Health (IMH) last year, had revealed that the latter was GIVEN MEDICATION FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA even though he DID NOT SUFFER from that ailment. Mr Boon had taken legal action against the close friend of Mr Lee Kuan Yew and former Chief Justice, Mr Yong Pung How. It was ONLY WHEN HE PROCEEDED WITH THE CASE that he was then committed to the IMH.

There were speculations that the late Mr Lim Chin Siong, the leader of the now-defunct political party, Barisan Socialis who was imprisoned by the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) in 1963, was GIVEN DRUGS DURING HIS CONFINEMENT. The once spirited Mr Lim came close to taking his own life whilst in prison.

In an open letter to Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's former president, the late Mr Devan Nair who had a fall out with the former, said that he came under "heavy sedation from 125 mgs of valium daily" for 10 days, administered by the medical staff, enough MEDICATION TO "DOPE AN ELEPHANT".

...

Family and friends are extremely concerned that the authorities are trying to PSYCHOLOGICALLY DESTABILISE the men and play mind games on them to DISCOURAGE them from furthering their act of civil disobedience against repressive laws in Singapore.

Drugs are illegal in Singapore, but apparently political dissidents are being fed drugs while they sit in jail to psychologically alter their personalities and destroy their will. People who are deemed to have the chance of winning a lawsuit against the rulers are captured and admitted into mental institutions without anyone knowing. And there they are administered drugs for certain mental conditions even if they do not suffer from it.

Of course, whatever destabilising consequences it can have on a healthy person's psyche is yet to be investigated. However, declaring these men mentally unsound is a convenient way to get rid of their accusations.

In IMH, there is said to be a little-known corner reserved for 'the sickest of patients, people who bear a potential risk to the mental well-being of people around them.' Here, political dissidents against the regime are contained and a pleathora of drugs (ranging from Valium to hallocinogens) are used on them, while mental specialists investigate the effects of these drugs on them.

Said a source, 'Deep Throat,' who requested that his identity be protected: 'We were told that these people were hopelessly insane and research was being carried out to help them. We actually believed them until we saw that some of them were mentally perfectly sound. Some would cry out piteously for help. We were ordered never to talk to them.'

Deep Throat left the IMH years ago. Meanwhile, drugging in an attempt to psychologically break those who have the backbone to stand up carries on.
