Daydream in Wonderland (梦遊仙境)

My dear Venerable PM Lee Hsien Loong,

You were born with a golden spoon and your renowned father Lee Kuan Yew was hell-bent that you succeed him as prime minister. The woody Goh Chok Tong was a seat warmer but managed to warm longer than expected. He was the most infamous prime minister to initiate the payment of obscene millions of taxpayers' money to himself and his mercenary cohorts ostensibly for public service. What public service? I will not go into it as it is disgustingly disparaging and allow you and your mercenary cohorts to wallow in a fool's paradise.

You were installed as a prime minister which was a fait accompli. And so you and your mercenary cohorts sit on your fat asses and wallow in the perks and luxuries of your high office as your noble birthright. But you little realise that you and your cohorts are enjoying all these perks and luxuries on the sacrifices  made by civil servants like us in the past. We fought the communists while you were still sucking your mother's milk and your highly ambitious father Lee Kuan Yew could have ended languishing in prime minister Lim Chin Siong's gaol if not for Special Branch. You want to disprove this?

For what I have done for Singapore and enhancing Lee Kuan Yew's world political standing it was the extremity of iniquity that he could inflict a grave injustice on me and was astounding that a world renowned prime minister could have stooped so low as to make such a scurrilous attack on a defenceless civil servant. I could not seek any redres as circumstances were not in my favour. I now want to clear my name before I depart from this world and pleaded for you to make a public apology. A grave injustice had been committed by your renowned and benign father and what is it that is haunting you that you do not have the civility to make a public apology? Would it not be noble of you to be forthcoming instead of remaining wretchedly reticent. I have done everything possible within my means to beseech you to do me justice by making a public apology and I think I have reached a stage where I have to leave it to God to get any redress from you. If in the end I have to take my injustice with me to my grave I think it is just my fate that God has decreed if it soothes your black swan conscience.

You may be of noble birth with a high education and social standing and therfore can swagger about. I happen to have by grace a little justice seeking audacity to take you on intellectually and politically to cut you down a little bit as a nondescript.

Good luck and may God bless you and bless a peaceful Lee Kuan Yew's soul.

An intellectual and political discourse

My dear Venerable PM Lee Hsien Loong,

This may or may not be the last time I have the audacity to engage your Highness in an intellectual and political discourse despite the great disparity in our education and social standing. In an unseen world of spirits/mysteriously and inexorably (冥冥之中) it may be God's wish that someone should deflate your arrogance and ego but not yet disillusioned enough to ditch you from your political chicanery. That will come soon but not in my lifetime.

You are so mind-boggled that you don't realise your dizzying stance in your condescending manoeuvre in your handling of your political opponents and the guillible public like me. Your inconceivable refusal to make a public apology for your venerable fathers sin against me is a despicable example. I am unable to comprehend why you resist so adamantly. Could it be that you are haunted by some esoteric apprehension? If so, would it not be noble of you to be forthcoming? I think it's God's wish that this should be my fate if you cannot be moved.

This will not be the end of the world as life goes on. And when I depart from this world it would be fun if my soul accidentally stumbles on Lee Kuan Yew's soul.  I would not be angry and may even condescend to join him in company. There is a Chinese saying: When can the mutual recrimination cease to exist? (冤冤相报何时了).

You should reflect on your conscience and look at the state of affairs among you and your siblings. Lee Kuan yew will turn in his grave to see your inter-fraternal slogging.

May God bless you.        Yoong Siew Wah

A return to a meserising nostalgia in Straits Times

For the attention of Mr. Khaw Boon Wan, Chairman SPH.

Dear Mr. Khaw,

Greetings. My apologies if you feel that I am bring you to the brink of the precipice again.

You will be doing a great service to the people of Singapore if you have the intrepidity to publish my above letter to PM Lee Hsien Loong. It gives a perception to the people that piques their political consciouness of the status quo. Patriotic voices are seldom, if ever, heard from your broadsheet The Straits Times because it is in fact and in reality a PAP mouthpiece. You are a former PAP minister and your paper is heavily subsidised by the PAP government and patriotic voices can only be heard from social media. You dare not take a stand on the  obscene millions of taxpayers' money that the avaricious PM Lee Hsien Loong and his equally venal cohorts pocketed ostensibly to serve the public. There is a limit to one's imagination and this charade has definitely taken an overdrive beyond its limit.

As you must have to have the guts of superman if you have the temerity to publish patriotic voices. Anyway, that's the status quo and only with the help of divinity can there be salvation.

May God  bless you.         Yoong Siew Wah

A return to a mesmerising nostalgia

My dear Venerable PM Lee Hsien Loong,

This is not another plea. I have said enough. I now leave it to God to see if He is imbued with a tender mercy to eternalise a justice for a victimised son by tenderly incentivise a change of heart in your kind self to make a public apology for your late father Lee Kuan Yew's cardinal sin. What I intend to do now is to try to modify your and your cohorts perception of a more intelligible narrative of Singapore's political history. It was not flippancy when I said that when I was fighting the communists your  were still suck your mother;s milk. I simply intended to stimulate your mind that you may still be luxuriating in a complacent state of mind. You were born with a golden spoon and your venerable father were determined that you succeed him as prime minister maybe not in sequence but was however a fait accompli. You and your cohorts in this generation are just chair-borne politicians propelled into the perks and luxuries of your high office on the sacrifices made by dedicated civil servants like us in the past.

We fought the communists and we were called running dogs by them and ere prioritised for assassination by their killer squads. When I joined the Special Branch we were in a shooting war with the communists and they were just trigger happy in shooting reactionary tycoons, traitors and Special Branch  officers. We were extremely vulnerable because they knew us and were were in the dark about their identities and every morning when we left our house to go for work we were always in danger of being confronted by a communist assassin unexpectedly. To give a hair-raising example there was a CID detective Seet Chong Yee who was regarded by the communist as notorious and corrupt. One morning he emerged from his house to start his motorcycle to go to work two communist assassins suddenly appeared before him and before he could realise it they pumped two bullets into him. Miraculously he survived but others who were shot like him just perished. Fortunately no Special Branch officers had been shot but Chief Inspector Lau Siew Foo had a hand grenade thrown into his car but he managed to escape before it exploded with a small piece of sphrapnel lodged in his lung. It was removed later by surgery but it was life-threatening. Soon he was back at his old self without any visible sign of wear and tear. You think any of your softie chair-borne ministers could have survived this kind of baptism of fire?

Your venerable father Lee Kuan Yew and his pugnacious cohorts would know the death-defying journey we had been through before Singapore has been able to  progress to the world renowned affluent metropolis that it is today. And you PM Lee Hsien Loong and your jolly bunch of money-minded cohorts are now happily ensconed in the perks and luxuries of your high station oblivious to the plight of the disadvantaged. It's an outright travesty of humanity and justice that you and your avaricious cohorts could ignore public abhorrence to enrich yourselves with millions of taxpayers' money  ostensibly to serve the people. Can there be a more egregious way of pocketing people's wealth? Can the people have any redress against a powerful dominant establishment? The inevitable may come but will be at eternity without divine intervention. Meanwhile our millionaire PM and his cohorts will continue to put their fingers in the till with impunity.

The only salvation appears to be for these charlatan politicians to become conscientious to really serve the people.

I think you should know that I do not lack the tenacity to pursue my overdue justice till kingdom come.

My apologies if you find this overawing but it is simply a conscientising appeal. In adversity one may be able to see some humanity but is this visible in Singapore? Is Singapore really an egalitrian society? Conscience is fast becoming a black swan if it is not one already.

A word of adulation. You are really doing Singapore proud with your unequivocal Stand on US-China relations. Your unambiguous rebuttal of the sinister attempt to portray as a "Beijing Whisperer" showed that you were not a hypocrite and one who spoke his mind. I am convinced but you don't think that there may be sceptics in and outside Singapore?

May God bless you.         Yoong Siew Waah
