The Birth of Sg's First Political Blog
I Xeno Boy will go where no one has ever gone before. I hereby
announce the birth of Singapore's first Political Blog. I will give
my awesome rants on Singapore politics. I will give the truth as I
see it. Before I begin, I am studying political science, of course,
in the UK. Yes, I have fucking spoken at Hyde Park before ... For
all the political watchers in Singapore lemme state my basic
assumptions in all posts :
First Rule : The PAP SUCKS
Second Rule : The Opposition needs to FUCKING ARISE
Whaddya think of my awesome rants?
To begin proper, Singapore is a Corporation or what is better known
as Singapore Inc, a term coined by a co-opted Singapore political
scientist, Chan Heng Chee. She had brains but she became sucked
into the PAP system and is now a technocrat like all others.
Nullified.
The problem with Singapore politics is epitomised by the
definitional conundrum of the very word democracy itself. By all
accounts, the lee-thal PAP has conducted social engineering par
excellence in creating a system of government that is by all
accounts a "functional" democracy. On paper, it makes the grade for
a democracy. BUT the word democracy has its problems of definition,
Singapore through the PAP has latched onto a problematic definition
of democracy and stuck to it conveniently. It does not help that
the dumb Yankees themselves have no notion of democracy but yet
trumpet it like a coherent ideology to enlighten the fucking
world.
But in Singapore there is no democracy. Why? Because there is no
people in it. People in the sense of political people. A polity.
There are economic people and people tied up with Government
Housing Loans in Singapore. The people are tranquilized against
thought and action from a political viewpoint. In the word
democracy, "demo(s)" = people is a fundamental tenet of the
concept. This is lost in Singapore. The recovery must begin with
this. To recover the "people", recover their political selves,
recover themselves as a full people and not just economic people.
The demos must awaken so that it can control the "cracy". The
"cracy" is over-represented in Singapore. The PAP is "cracy" only
and power cracy to boot.
As the first step, "Demos" must be recovered so that the full sense
of "democracy" can gain its signification. Because Demos comes
before cracy. People first. We can than rein in the government. How
to do this? This will be my next post.
All politicians in Singapore, come and listen to Xeno Boy. For I
come as Political Savant. Suggest and comment, but I will fuck you
back. I am Xeno Boy. I bring to birth Singapore's First Political
Blog.

Quote of the Day from Walter Benjamin
This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned
toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one
single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage and hurls it in
front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead,
and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing in
from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such a violence
that the angel can no longer close them. The storm irresistibly
propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the
pile of debris before him grows skyward.
--Walter Benjamin, "Theses on the Philosophy of History, IX"
