Mood: *Still Water runs shallow for Bird*

As usual, I am like space beyond common understanding. Which brings me to a point on the recent sacking by the boss of US Millitary. Robert Gates has explicitly sack his Secretary of Air force and Chief of Staff, Air Service. A little on their naming convention and protocol. You see, US Military consist of a Civilian and a Career military chief, hence the “Secretary of something” headed by a civilian and their respective Chief of Staff (Army & Air force), Commandant (Marines & Coast Guard) and Head of Naval Operations (yes, Navy). The naming convention aside, it put in place a symbolic recognition, check & balance system of both civilian and military advices needed to run the Army.

Moving on, Gates apparently decided that after the nuclear fiasco; some nuclear trigger devices wrongly (or rightly) shipped to Taiwan, someone up in the food chain need(s) to be hanged. So conveniently (or Rightly again), he axed the top most bosses of Air force, citing administrative and leadership responsibility for the lapse.

Ah, that brings me to my next point, how about Mat Selamat then?

His name alone can cause National Security Alert, much less a mere nuclear trigger button (give and take your point of view) and yet, no command responsibility was/were cited in the supposedly independent finding. Back to US Air force, the finding was done by their own in-house auditors and they actually have the balls to fault their bosses for inadequate oversight (not amounting to gross negligence though) and yet, each of the chiefs (under duress maybe) took it upon themselves to make sure they are held accountable and hence the boot.

Sadly, this is not the case here. The home secretary is still enjoying his bountiful bonuses while his lower managers are kena tekan for the loss of the criminal. Somemore Mat-oh-boy is no off the cuff criminal, he is the head of a terrorist organization that bend on fucking us left right center for fuck sake. What fucking pissed me off is no top bosses even step in to take command responsibility; such is the state of our leadership. And people wonder why US Military, despite all the wrongs are Right and Just. They have LEADERS with MORAL RESPONSIBILITIES, you can call it Balls for simplicity.

No one came forward never mind, still pin the blame on lower managers. Ok, so Director ISD shouldn’t be blame. Logically speaking, yes that’s true. How can you fuck the syces when his stallions went around siring other mares. Legally, when it comes to accountability, it is the Owner that should be sued for his horses’ fucking around. See the plain oh-so-in-your-face logic?

Bad political move my dear readers. Little wonder too, and I’ll bet my LV Porte Document Voyage bag that WKS would be left out or made to retire in FULL honour in the next GE. He is already a liability for crying out loud, notwithstanding his insincere apologies; from reading out LOUD scripted speech to walking around looking important. If he still remains status quo next election, we are truly fucked.

PM Lee also one kind, as a top Leader in the food chain, surely he must have known the ground sentiment and yet, he decided not to fuck his deputy and took it out on his underlying. Surely, it is within his power and rights to kindly offer words of advise (like Gates to his deputies) to pack up and go. Sadly, this moral leadership is not found anywhere in this region, and we still say we are a democratic society. Well, ok lah, most of the countries here are also so call democratic ones… Just a matter of re-interpretation, justification, re-re-interpretation and of course the whole shebang thingy that’s all… Ah, so blameless already…

Surely in his entire afterthought, PM Lee should have just made a formal statement and while not faulting anyone, accept WKS resignation (yes, that means he actually offer to resign in the first place). It gave credibility to the other side of democracies which isn’t exactly kind towards us and still remains popular. It is not simply WKS should not be held responsible but Dude, this is politics, you cannot blatantly side with your underlying, just because… And besides, people want top bosses to be hanged for the wrongs, even if they are innocent. Because? Because they are the Leader!
Why you think people guillotine Louis XVI? For his leadership and his supposedly brought upon the suffering for the masses… Imagine the masses executing the “descendent of the SUN God”…

Now it is too late to talk about anything. The report is out, blaming everyone but the top bosses. Even when the world was skeptical about the independence of its composition, we have to proof them right by endorsing the “oh-you-are-so-fuck-LITTLE-MEN” report (in Catherine Lim’s words). Moreover, WKS never once hinted he wanted or ought to take the blame, coupled with his award winning performance on reading the script and keeping a poker face throughout the fiasco.

Now you know why we are like apathy towards anything remotely political. And people like the Chee’s and his jinx gang are not helping. My oh my, I might have evidently talk a little bit more cock than allowed. So I shall rest my case here. Cos no matter how much and how deeply you feel about doing out the best for betterment of the society, the government will come in and smack your palm. So serious, how now brown cow?

Today got beer, today drunk… easier on and for the heart.

As per norm, here’s my YouTube post on 新不了情 by 曹格.

Man, this chap is good…

新不了情 by 曹格 (KARAOKE 原版伴奏)



新不了情 by 曹格 (Original Version)



心若倦了泪也干了
这份深情难舍难了
曾经拥有天荒地老
已不见你暮暮与朝朝

这一份情永远难了
愿来生还能再度拥抱
爱一个人如何死守到老
怎样面对一切我不知道

回忆过去痛苦的相思忘不了
为何你还来拨动我心跳
爱你怎么能了今夜的你应该明了
缘难了情难了
