A Thinking Senior Citizen In A New World

Of Electronic Surveillance, Postmodernism and Globalization -- In The Life of Singaporeans

I'm getting poorer and poorer in my finances. But I'm becoming richer and richer in my mind. As my recent and latest blog entries/posts have shown, I'm also acquiring more and more power in my writing! In my love/sex/social life, I've achieved greater potency in my fucking of women. Yes, I'm more and more in almost complete control of my own life -- as a man, human being, citizen and writer/blogger! I'm in ascendancy!

And why am I in such a glorious state of mind, heart, soul and body? Well, it is simple: I'm becoming more and more well-informed and knowledgeable -- about the new world of electronic surveillance (especially in regard to politics, sports and education), postmodernism (especially in regard to literature and the arts), and globalization (in regard to trade, finance and commerce) -- with a clear and wide-ranging intellectual framework and reference to authoritarian and autocratic governments (like Singapore's)!

I now know more and more about postmodernist use of surveillance technologies -- and its application to, and influence on, the latest developments in the study of history, philosophy, literature; and in academic scholarship, scientific research, psychological studies, political practices, sexual relations, parenting, and yes, the writing (or authorship) of BOOKS!

Yes, the whole population of Singapore -- a global city -- is under electronic surveillance by the authorities (corporate and governmental)! We are all interconnected with one another -- poor, rich, not-too-poor and not-too-rich -- by the PAP Government's use of electronic surveillance technologies and techniques!

This is not a flippant, trivial, superficial and inconsequential article to put the Singapore Government in a bad light by offering supposedly "unobjective" comments and "twisted" or "distorted" facts! The PAP Government has to prove such an intentiion on my part in the first place. Facts are free -- if you seek them out conscientiously and intelligently; but my opinions and reflections are sacred. And I'm not just trying to promote serious, quality reading!

As an individualistic oppositionist and writer, who finds many aspects of our cosmopolitan city -- with its world-class companies and the best talents around, engaging in postmodernist, globalized and electronic surveillance activities, practices, methods, behaviour and lifestyles -- very unacceptable. I'm unapologetically defiant and totally "unorthodox" in my persistent exposure and scrutiny of such disturbing manifestations of UNEQUAL POWER RELATIONSHIPS between corporations and the government on the one side and the helpless, poor and unfortunate citizen-victims on the other side. I'm certainly justified in having such anti-PAP and anti-LKY (and hence, pro-opposition) attitudes! I'm, after all, a progressive VOICE of REASON! And I will scrutinize and expose in the name of FREEDOM -- man's most important and perhaps greatest idea!

I cannot remain silent and neutral. I know too much already. I must speak up and out -- and even scream and shout, if necessary! I'll pilot my little airplane, from now on, with a unified, well-rounded and well-balanced vision of the more benign and humane new world that is to come in the future -- if we keep believing in, and fight for, the TRUTH!
