A SELF-RELIANT & SELF-EDUCATED WRITER AT WORK -- ASKING QUESTIONS & REFLECTING ON LIFE IN THE POSTMODERN AGE -- AS AN UNREPENTANT INDIVIDUALIST

SIX KEY ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION BY

THE CITIZENS OF THE BRAVE NEW WORLD

OF POSTMODERNISM, GLOBALIZATION,

BIOPOLITICS, AND THE USE OF SURVEILLANCE

TECHNOLOGIES BY CORPORATE AND

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES -- AND THE RESULTANT

AND DISTURBING LOSS OF PRIVACY

INTRODUCTION :

My professional aim as a writer in this postmodern age is to be an honest user of words, phrases and sentences -- with, hopefully, class, skill, style and distinction -- and expressed in an authorial voice of reason and passion, power and inspiration. (I would have wanted to be, also, a moderate and balanced writer -- except that, as a thinker on the world, national and personal issues that concern me, in one way or another, I am unable to maintain and to express what used to be expected from such an ideal or model thinker -- in other words, one of moderation and balance in his thinking! Why this has to be so must be studied and examined by those intelligent, careful and politically aware professionals and citizens among us -- with regard to what has happened in our modern world, through such developments as postmodernism, globalization, biopolitics and the employment of surveillance technologies and techniques by both national governments and large powerful corporations.)

CHAPTER ONE :

WITHOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM N.W.C.D.C. : FACING A TERRIBLE "DEATH"? (A "POLITICAL" CHALLENGE TO MY POWER AS A THINKING AND STUBBORN WRITER!)

You've been secretly provoking me all these past 36 years -- in public and and in private -- leading me to adopt questionable behavioural practices and to commit, repeatedly, destructive and self-destructive acts in my externally induced and prompted irrational responses to such deliberate provocations!

Will I, yes, "die" a terrible "death" -- now that you are provoking me in such non-secretive ways and manners? (In, perhaps, 3 months" time?)



CHAPTER TWO :

MY 36 YEARS OF LIFE AND TIMES AS AN UNDERGROUND SOCIO-POLITICAL WRITER (1972 - 2008)


Besides provoking me in a calculated and calculative manner, ex-MSD officers and now, also SAFTI's former top-ranking officers (in 1976 and 1972), have still NOT been DISCLOSING (OR REVEALING) the SCIENTIFIC nature and basis -- with the provision of vital FACTS and DETAILS -- concerning my "implantation" in 1972 by SAFTI's military authorities [with its resultant and detestable consequence or outcome : i.e., my UNDESIRED and UNWANTED ability, as an "implantee", to receive (or to "hear", in other words) voice communications (or simply, "voices") -- and also, conversely, to transmit my own voice (or voice communications) to those who are "controlling" or "monitoring" me as surveillance officers or agents (using modern surveillance technologies and techniques)]! SUCH AN UNDESIRABLE AND UNDESIRED ABILITY -- TO ME, AT LEAST, PERSONALLY -- HAS THUS RENDERED ME AS SHOWING ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT CLINICAL OR MEDICAL SYMPTOMS -- i.e., AUDITORY HALLUCINATIONS -- SUFFERED BY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN STRICKEN BY THIS MODERN-DAY SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL "MENTAL DISEASE" -- NAMELY, "SCHIZOPHRENIA"!

Yes, a full, genuine and proper account of such a technological and scientific (and "schizophrenic") way of human communication -- and its relation to modern reality -- will enable me, as a "victim" myself of such technological and scientific "schizophrenia", to seek a proper and full compensation from the authorities -- for such an act of "implantation", which was never consented to willingly by me more than 36 years ago -- in 1972!



CHAPTER THREE :

OPEN LETTER OF APPEAL TO MY HOST OF SUPPORTERS, HELPERS, SYMPATHIZERS, FRIENDS, ADMIRERS AND DEFENDERS


Do you care enough about my -- especially FINANCIAL -- plight and predicament?

Do you wish to share your your wealth with me?

Do you wish to bond with me -- as a fellow man, human being, citizen and professional?

This is a good case -- as good as it can get -- to see how caring, dynamic and cohesive our community leaders and representatives really are!

Do you treat me as a partner in the community?

Do you build a community for ALL -- or only for some?

How do you propose to enhance the quality of my life if you can only offer 3 months' supply of Food Vouchers to me -- each month's allotment to worth only S$30.00 (for buying only essential groceries)? Dear Sirs, I need cash -- SIMPLY!



CHAPTER FOUR :

MY NEED FOR (ENOUGH) MONEY AND PENETRATIVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE (WITH, OBVIOUSLY, WOMEN AND GIRLS -- PHYSICALLY DESIRABLE ONES, THAT IS!)


I need, at least, an amount of $600.oo in my monthly income now -- AS RENT given to me monthly by my loyal tenants -- in order to be able to live meaningfully and productively and also to be able to satisfy my sexual needs as a man, with the help of prostitutes!

Am I being irresponsible and morally contemptible -- and financially unsound? But, dear readers, I only need to have enough money to pay for the sexual services of a Chinese prostitute from Geylang at least once a month! (How more brutally frank and natural -- and normal -- do you want me to be, girls?)

I will always, truly and humbly, remain as an AMOROUS self-trained and self-educated writer and intellectual -- till I am physically incapable of being so!



CHAPTER FIVE :

MY POLITICAL AWAKENING AT AGE 55 (IN THE YEAR 2008)


I'm turning in a new direction now -- politically -- in response to my own current plight and predicament. All through the past 36 years, I've been trying to be MODERATE and BALANCED in my thinking on politics.

Now, I'm changing -- because my own circumstances have been changing! I'm turning more towards the left -- and thus becoming a 21st century libertarian and a liberal -- with a penetrative, imaginative, observant, perspicuous and coherent mind!

It is no small measure of success on my part, as a reluctant and unhappy "implantee", with my highest educational level at pre-university 2, to say humbly and respectfully, in acknowledgment of my sincere gratitude towards the N.W.C.D.C. officers, who had been attending attentively to my urgent request and prompt application for FINANCIAL assistance, "Thank you very much!"

They have the power to solve my FINANCIAL predicament (with all its causes and consequences -- personal and public, private and official, bizarre and normal -- that I, as a discerning thinker, know how to separate those who have been responsible, as my detractors, enemies and agent provocateurs, for my plight and predicament -- yes, from those who, as my helpers, supporters, admirers, friends and defenders, have been reading, eagerly and productively, all my explanations of, and explorations into important current issues and events that are affecting my life -- in my numerous, regularly updated and very active postings in my 3 well-established and influential blogs.

Yes, I'll continue to confirm, daily, that my more than 36-year-old private and public struggles -- including my POLITICAL struggle [as reflected in my more than 45 posted comments in the SDP website -- http://www.yoursdp.org/ ] -- against being reduced to a mere robotic SUBJECT by the governmental authorities (through their proxies, the surveillance agents or officers) -- and in facing all problems of food and cash insufficiency; and further, in confronting all kinds of relentless official mental and emotional pressures applied on me -- have NOT all been in vain!

I will persist in my writer's endeavour; I will insist on my right to write --and to express myself as freely as I please; and I will strive to write as fully, clearly, rationally (but with my self-determined liberty to defend myself against mean, unjustified and nasty -- not to mention pompous --remarks or criticisms by my resorting, skillfully, to sarcastic retorts). Yes, I will attempt to write powerfully, passionately and courageously --without contradicting my own thinking and behaviour!


CHAPTER SIX :

MY FUTURE AND POSITION IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OF WRITERS AND BLOGGERS

I'll turn this very moment (on a perfectly ordinary weekday night like this -- 0n 29.04.2009, Wednesday, 9.13 pm) into one that will decide my future as a writer. All I need now is a braver, more assertive, bolder and more emphatic on-line or internet presence -- namely, a LOUD, DISTINCT, CLEAR AND LOGICAL establishment of my undeniable authorial voice -- and a constant striving to ensure that my voice -- a careful and intelligent one -- will be a voice that would be listened to by those who matter!

Yes, it will be a heart-felt, honest, and diligently practised voice; and one that is constantly speaking up on issues that matter!

I won't, for the present moment, be that particularly bothered about having my writings published in PRINTED formats. As long as my essays or articles are NOT COLLECTED and PUBLISHED via THE PRINTED MEDIA or INDUSTRY, I will remain intellectually and professionally unfulfilled and dissatisfied. I will still be an unhappily committed writer of socio-psychological-cultural-political essays!

This is WHAT I REALLY AM, with all my powers and strengths and abilities -- as well as my undeniable blemishes, ugliness, defects, and weaknesses. I WANT TO BE ACCEPTED, RECOGNISED, ACKNOWLEDGED AND REGARDED -- internationally, by intelligent, careful, diligent, and creative members of such a writers', readers' and intellectuals' community -- as a writer who matters!

I want to be eventually applauded and acclaimed for being able to achieve my goals and ambitions as precisely such a writer (yes, a writer who matters!) -- unapologetically!
