📢 Topic 📢

According to preliminary labour market data released by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) on Oct 30, the number of people with jobs surged in the third quarter of 2025, as employment growth picked up steam and retrenchment rates remained stable. Singapore’s total employment in the July to September period grew by 24,800, more than doubling from the increase of 10,400 in the second quarter. Employment growth was stronger than anticipated, said MOM, supported by a pickup in both resident – Singaporeans and permanent residents (PRs) – and non-resident employment.

💬 What are your views on the labour market situation in Singapore?

📌 Mixed Employment Growth across sectors

Singapore's resident employment showed mixed performance in Q3 2025, with growth concentrated in financial services and healthcare but declining sharply in wholesale trade and remaining subdued in outward-oriented sectors like ICT and professional services.

📌 Employment of Residents and Non-residents

Non-resident employment contracted in outward-oriented areas but grew mainly through work permit holders in construction and manufacturing. Overall unemployment remained low at 2.0%, with resident unemployment at 2.8% and citizen unemployment at 3.0%, whilst retrenchments stayed stable at around 3,500 cases.

📌 Labour Market Outlook

Employment growth is expected to continue but remain uneven, with hiring sentiment improving modestly to 44.1% in Q4 2025 though outward-oriented sectors show weaker expectations and may face increased retrenchments. Wage growth is anticipated to moderate as fewer firms plan salary increases amid cost pressures, and resident employment growth may lag behind non-resident growth given the already high resident labour force participation rate.

📌 Remaining adaptable and resilient

MOM advises workers to take pre-emptive action and proactively build resilience through career coaching via Workforce Singapore (WSG) and NTUC’s Employment and Employability Institute (e2i), and SkillsFuture training programmes. Fresh graduates can also utilitise the Graduate Industry Traineeship (GRIT) scheme to support their entry into the workforce.

Does singapore labour market include those under work permit, S pass, or even PRs too? If so, we can improve the labour market outlook like the poll by importing more

Adam, [31/10/2025 11:43 am]

Just like the Economy grew 11% since start of 2025, we too can increase labour market. In fact, the labour market grew this year too

Adam, [31/10/2025 11:45 am]

Everything grow so much, wonder if paycheck will grow also

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 12:49 pm]

Resident unemployment stood at 2.8 per cent, while citizen unemployment was at 3.0 per cent.

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 12:51 pm]

Let's deduce what does this mean

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 12:52 pm]

2.8% includes pr and s pass

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 12:53 pm]

Which means citizens are losing out

Daniel, [31/10/2025 1:09 pm]

Only PR and citizen, S pass not considered resident. The article says so. If on S pass/EP/work permit and unemployed, then have to go home as the pass is linked to the jop

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 1:19 pm]

Maybe Allow more flexible career transition along adults learner eg. Encourage adults to take up degree courses. so they can get into healthcare industry

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 1:21 pm]

As a lot of course now are targeting outward oriented jobs.

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 1:21 pm]

Like you want to learn how to fly drones...

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 1:24 pm]

Encourage nursing degrees intake for adults learner. And maybe explore pharmacist degree and doctor/physician degree

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 1:25 pm]

Idk if there's any tier that is lower than doctor, allied doctor something like that

365, [31/10/2025 1:27 pm]

To be a doctor takes many years, medical degree itself is already longer than most degrees, then you need to have residency as well. And all this have not even include the foundational knowledge requirement on sciences before they can even enroll.

365, [31/10/2025 1:27 pm]

Honestly most adults aren't learners anymore. A job is just a means to an end.

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 1:27 pm]

Basically the idea is to encourage more people go into healthcare sector

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 1:28 pm]

Cause a lot of course from roadshow sells marketing and ict type of course which gov say declining

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 1:29 pm]

So what's the purpose to up skill if the demand in that skill is low

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 1:31 pm]

And a lot of skills is not directly related to jobs such as flying a drone. I don't see many jobs needed to fly drones in Singapore

365, [31/10/2025 1:32 pm]

I have high doubts it'll work, unless it's another event such as covid, when there's a mass exodus of work

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 1:33 pm]

So I would like gov to identify hard skills that's actually in demand and channel resources for people to upskill in that area

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 1:34 pm]

If not it's just beating around the bush

365, [31/10/2025 1:36 pm]

I don't think it's about identifying skills in demand. It's more about the willingness to pick up tougher and more demanding jobs, spending more time to learn, and for maybe less pay than before. Most people would rather bid their time and wait for opportune jobs, especially if they still have savings left.

1. Read from headlines news that many Big Tech overseas are cutting labour forces in big number – may affect some Singapore workers here.

2. Also read quite a number of F&B business has close shops affecting quite a number of our local workforce.

3. I checked around my siblings, relatives, close circles and neighbours children in the various professions – all their jobs seems to be intact and some change to a better jobs.

4. So though headlines news on jobs look bleak, but the impact on the ground within my close circles doesn't seems to reflect so.

5. Particularly something deserves mentioning is the MOM launching of GRIT to help fresh graduates to secure traineeships and hopefully land a permanent job – is a good initiative that deserve kudos.

6. Fresh graduates facing difficulties in securing jobs right out from graduation won't feel helpless and at least they can use GRIT as a launching pad to tie over the job seeking difficulties while gaining work experience.

7. Unlike in overseas Countries where fresh graduates in double digit percentage hopelessly unable to land a jobs despite sending hundreds of resumes and have to laypark at home.

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:42 pm]

In my circle they did not see hope. We only see things getting worse and worse everyday

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 3:43 pm]

Which circle is it?

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:43 pm]

Poly friends

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:43 pm]

Which grad 2-3 yr ago

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:44 pm]

We have to rely on part time jobs and contracts job

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:44 pm]

It's hard to get a full time job

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 3:45 pm]

Oh is it?

Should engage e2i and their polytechnic institutes to jointly see how to improve the situation.

Universities space seems to have been effectively tackled.

Initially quite bad.

But with the launch of Grit and more Government attention, the hiring landscape change.

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:46 pm]

A lot of jobs need a degree

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:46 pm]

Especially people graduated from applied science

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 3:47 pm]

Hmm...

Unfortunately this is something true.

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:47 pm]

Grit does not cover us lol

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 3:47 pm]

Oh is it?

Government should look into it.

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:47 pm]

Grit only covers the current batches

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:48 pm]

People grad earlier don't get a chance

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 3:48 pm]

Applied science have been brought up multiple times as an issue.

Not sure why hiring not as bright.

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 3:49 pm]

Hmm...

I think government should now turn the attention on these gaps

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:49 pm]

Maybe we chose the wrong course lol

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 3:49 pm]

Which course?

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:49 pm]

Environmental science

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:50 pm]

Which ends up in lab or nparks which are not really hiring

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:51 pm]

A lot of my friends end up in a different sector

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:51 pm]

Like insurance

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 3:51 pm]

Oh.

I got a nephew who are doing environment science with a degree, he is the only one that has not landed job based on what I know a few months ago.

CNY then I can find out whether he finally secure one.

Not so nice for me to Whatsapp them and asked so bluntly.

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:52 pm]

I think the field in Singapore is not very nice for job prospects

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 3:53 pm]

Hmm..

Let me find out few months later.

Jun Ming, [31/10/2025 3:53 pm]

So I have to further study into a different field and my friend landed in hdb 1 year contract job

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 3:54 pm]

I see.

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 4:06 pm]

8. Another thing deserves mentioning, AI has triggered many CEOs to fire workers to be replaced by AI automation and stop hiring of fresh graduates – fully relying on AI to take over workers' jobs.

9. But my understanding from my close circle's children are, though they graduates not too long ago, they are hired and have been using AI pervasively in their jobs – and according to them, productivity is really high as it makes their jobs easier, faster and processes information and facts on a bigger scale.

10. They are either in Government, Research fields, IT line, AI line, Finance, Medical field, Lawyer, Engineering etc.

11. So I come to the conclusion that our Government, Business and Union do actively ensure business and organisation are deploying AI as productivity tools to help workers increase their effectiveness and efficiency rather than replacing workers.

Singapore approach effectively deploy AI as a “techno-optimist” mode like in the past years exploiting computers, Internet and digital e-commerce and transaction to drive up workers productivity – which have make up of 18.6% of Singapore GDP, $128 billion (Source :- Google AI) – a significant amount.

12. In the US and the West, AI are deployed as a “techno-pessimist” mode to replace workers.

Because US has invested $40 trillion in AI, data centres, chips, LLM etc.

To generate the revenue and profit to match the $40 trillion in a short space of time, CEOs of Big Tech take the easy way out to chop workers and stop hiring to save salary cost, boost earnings – to appease investors that their investments are not in vain.

Foreign Governments unlike Singapore are not proactively redesigning the approach of keeping workers, training workers to exploit AI to improve productivity and keeping their core workforce the mainstay of their Economy.

13. No jobs means no income, even if AI produce huge output and goods, no workers, no jobs where got income to buy their goods and keep their business profitable and the Economy afloat?

14. CEOs and Business only look at their balance sheet, profit and loss as their KPI are measured quarterly in the stock market.

But do they look at the bigger Economy, where their customers are, where are the purchasing power etc --- which is the domain of the Government if the Government fold their arms and not reshaping their domestic workers to exploit AI by fully relying on their CEOs to do what they want – in the West? Notably US?

If the whole economy has many jobless workers, where got money to buy the CEOs' AI produce goods?

How their business going to be profitable?

CEOs hurt the worker jobs, it turn around to hurt their profit when they cannot sell the AI produced goods to anyone.

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 4:19 pm]

15. Besides it will be a massive social problem when so many fresh graduates or mature workers losing their jobs through AI.

16. They are bound to lose the election in US and the West if they are unable to rein in on Big Tech AI to engage workers complemented by AI effectively.

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 4:21 pm]

17. Of course another factor in the fear bleak job market is the geopolitical trade scene that are unraveling - causing business and investors to hesitate hiring or investing.

18. We have to move carefully with watchful eyes while giving more help to our local people to secure jobs.

365, [31/10/2025 4:25 pm]

In the long term, government should also push the reality narrative, and not sugarcoat it. There are going to be fields which just simply have low demand and will be hard to find jobs locally.

I've always disagreed with getting a degree solely based on what you enjoy or are interested in, without considering its economic prospect. What is the government supposed to do if you wasted your own time and money on something like a philosophy degree and then wonder why you can't use it to land any jobs?

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 4:29 pm]

I think government need to engage the IHL to revisit courses that have economic values and some that only have academic values but unable to land a job.

Maybe keeping the academic values course in a close academic circle while expanding those courses that can land jobs working closely with the industries.

Xtra, [31/10/2025 5:29 pm]

It’s quite sad to do this. It means not enabling people to pursue their interests and forcing people into a certain template. Now we are trying to create different paths of success for citizens but we won’t be able to achieve that if we don’t give people the opportunity to develop their talents and interests.

365, [31/10/2025 5:33 pm]

It is the real world, not an idealized fairytale with no flaws and everyone can do whatever they want enjoy. If there's no demand, there's no demand. So what if your interests is in the arts or other less viable options? Does that suddenly entitle you to more help from government (and taxpayers)?

LCL (Danny 心), [31/10/2025 5:35 pm]

Hmm...

This is a conflict between interest versus putting food on the table.

Sometimes it is possible to do both.

1st anchor a course that provide job for income.

And then use leisure time to pursue our interest.

I have been doing this and find it useful.

Xtra, [31/10/2025 5:42 pm]

I don’t disagree. It just the sad reality of living in a small city. Not enough opportunity for everyone to succeed in their preferred area as compared to larger cities. the demand for certain things just isn’t there. Not sure if this can ever be resolved

365, [31/10/2025 5:45 pm]

Even in larger cities, there are areas of studies which have little to no economic value. For example "gender studies". Even the arts aren't considered very economically viable, which is how the stereotype of them working in Starbucks or fast food came about. Only a handful actually get to prosper within the field.

365, [31/10/2025 5:46 pm]

I think it is just about what society values.

365, [31/10/2025 5:47 pm]

The only field that I know are quite different in economic prospect locally compared to other countries is veterinary

Xtra, [31/10/2025 5:53 pm]

Yes. But even for more technical fields, the demand issue remains a problem. I actually raised the point because of the contributor here who struggled to find employment after studying environmental science. It’s a good field and there is a need for it but I guess there’s only so many environmental scientists Singapore needs as a small city

Especially when the main employer is nparks

Dr. Goh, [31/10/2025 6:01 pm]

I can see problems from the hiring side.

1) too many job platforms. Can we unify into one main platform where it is easy to access people's profiles to invite them to apply? Can't find the people I need.

2) the MNCs do get a lot of perks hiring people at low cost due to generous government grants. Is this sustainable at all if the work force doesn't upgrade to become more valuable? I do see people who are comfortable where they are but the moment these subsidies end these jobs are gone too. What then?

3) can cost of living actually be lower? I don't see so much inflation in other countries. This is a major issue that will basically price out all Singaporeans in terms of jobs. Cost of living must be synchronised with the salaries that employers can give to the workforce. If it goes too high, only the really high end jobs are left and even so we cannot guarantee that most of these jobs aren't going to foreigners. Is government prepared to pay the social cost of this later? If our workforce only produces 2k per month extra value compared to neighbours then employers will only give 2k more at most， usually less. This must be balanced.

365, [31/10/2025 6:01 pm]

That's true, which is why I feel the need to push the realism that we face. Life is as such, not everyone can get what they want. I don't see this as an issue, but an aspect of life itself. We all want / need jobs, but not everyone can get the ideal job we desire, similar to how we all need food, but not everyone can have their favourite food.

REACH Singapore, [31/10/2025 6:04 pm]

📢 Topic 📢

365, [31/10/2025 6:09 pm]

1) not in control of the government, as many job application websites are from foreign platforms. Top of my head I can think of is LinkedIn, Indeed, JobStreet. None of which the government has direct control over. They are international platforms, also providing opportunities for overseas job. The only government platform (that I am aware of) is mycareersfuture.

2) Unable to answer.

3) Not very realistic if we want to keep a free market. Foreign investments contribute a lot to local job growth and development. A lot of our attraction has to do with our stable politics and competitive markets, allowing foreign companies to get the best value out of their employees.

Queries about what is Right Meditation

 [29/10, 9:48 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSy8QbVUA/

@Babe:1. if you live mindful of every moment, your thoughts, speeches and actions and didn't act on your ignorance, greed, anger, arrogance and sceptical minds but act on wholesome thoughts, speeches and actions - then you are walking on the Right Path.

2. what you see in meditation is a tool to practice Right Concentration and Right Mindfulness - not supernatural phenomenon.

@Babe:1. if you meditate and attain 1 pointedness nimitta concentration for hours and hours - then you have achieve Right Concentration.

2. if you have achieved the attributes of No-Self (body is immaterial to you), compassion and profound wisdom than you have achieved Nirvana, the Right Mindfulness.

3. Upon attainment of Right Concentration and Mindfulness, if you have eradicate of ignorance, greed, hatred, arrogance and sceptical mind and walk the 8 noble path - then indeed you are walking the path and not the blinding light.

@Babe:1. Meditation is develop the discipline to eradicate all the defilement of a human mind to attain a pure mind, clarity and wisdom.

2. If the motivation of meditation is to achieve supernatural phenomenon or magic - then the person will be moving on the wrong path and indeed hit the blinding light and not wisdom.

[30/10, 12:20 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:1. To achieve Right Concentration, focus our mind on the in and out breath.

2. Not forcing to breathe, but mindfulness of in breath and out breath.

3. To achieve the calmness of in breath and out breath, one will eventually crowd out any thoughts that will arise.

4. Meditator must be able to sit for at least 1 hour.

5. When concentration is adequate, the pain or uncomfortableness of the body vanished.

6. All 5 mental aggregates of senses, consciousness, feeling, judgement, mental formation are suppressed and an extremely bright light nimitta emerge when body feelings, mental aggregates are suck into this nimitta like falling into a very deep black hole with very strong suction.

7. When this happens, 1 pointedness jhana samadhi is attained.

8. And meditator has achieved the Right Concentration for hours and hours - unless meditator emerge from this jhana samadhi state.

Yes bright light nimitta must emerge when the mind is fully concentrated to crowd out all mental state - unwholesome or wholesome mental state.

[30/10, 12:28 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:Stage 1 of the diagram is Right Concentration - Jhana samadhi.

Please verify this state in Abidharma sutra to see whether it synch with Jhana samadhi. And also check with attained monks that have attained Jhana Samadhi or Nirvana (an Arahat).

There are 4 Jhana stage in course of one pointedness jhana samadhi.

Initial application of concentration, sustain application, bliss, serenity - which will eventually vanished to achieve the 1 pointedness concentration of equanimity.

Meditator need to check the 5 respective supramundane consciousness with the heart base to unique identify unambiguously the various states of consciousness - for each of these consciousness represent the consciousness in the respective 4 Form Heavenly Realms or 4 Rupa Jhana Samadhi.

[30/10, 12:32 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:This 4 unique states of Jhana Samadhi are in fact 4 Rupa Jhana or Form Heavenly Realms.

In meditation, you don't see Gods, Heavenly Beings or angels.

It is a very discrete state of consciousness - that no human beings will experience with their mundane consciousness.

But meditator in the various Jhana Samadhi stage - can uniquely and discretely identified each consciousness per each Form Heavenly Realms.

@Babe:1. The 4 stage of Jhana Samadhi is known as Rupa Jhana Samadhi - 4 Form Heavenly Realms - suppression of mundane consciousness.
2. Further concentration of the 1 pointedness jhana samadhi will lead to suppression of subconsciousness.
3. When this happens, the 1 pointedness jhana will expand to cover and enwrap the entire Universe - progressing from Form Heavenly or Rupa Jhana to Formless Heavenly Arupa Jhana.
4. There are 2 main sub realms of Formless Heavenly or Arupa Jhana - Perception or Non-Perception, Nothingness or non-Nothingness - these 2 sub realms are very subtle and only through suppression of subconsciousness will be able to differentiate between the 2 sub formless realms.

[30/10, 12:51 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:1. Again, meditator will not see Gods or Heavenly Beings or Angels in Formless or Arupa Jhana - it is dwelling in the suppression of subconsciousness in the Formless Heavenly Realms or Arupa Jhana that enwrap the entire Universe.

2. Stage 2 of the diagram is the illustration of Arupa Jhana or Formless Heavenly Realms that enwrap the entire Universe.

3. Meditator to progress beyond Arupa Jhana, Formless Heavenly Realms no longer can use breath meditation or Anapanasati meditation because this is the maximum attainment achievable via breath meditation.

4. Meditator need to switch to Mindfulness Meditation or Vipassana meditation (4 Foundation mindfulness of the body, feelings, mind mental state and dharma of impermanence, understanding of no-self, universal compassion that arises and Panna Wisdom beyond mundane intelligence).

5. Instead of taking 1 pointedness concentration as nimitta, meditator will take the enwrap Universe as the nimitta concentration while mindful of the 4 foundation of Mindfulness.

6. Meditator can meditate for hours and hours and even days in this state.

7. Many understanding and knowledge will arise ..

[30/10, 12:56 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:1. Diagram 3 and 4 illustrate the mind in Nirvana - whereby no stray thoughts will arise.

2. No stray thoughts can penetrate the 3 ring fruition of the 3 Embodiment - with the inner ring of No-Self (body no longer material, mundane consciousness vanish), 2nd ring depict Universal Compassion to penetrate cracks and crevices of the Universe to want to salvage all sentinent beings and the outer ring depict Panna Wisdom, the Wisdom to defend ignorance, stray thoughts of ignorance, greed, hatred, arrogance and sceptical thoughts from arising.

@Babe:1. This explains why Buddha identified Dharma Wheel for reverence if He passed into PariNirvana instead of using Him for reverence.

2. Because Dharma Wheel accurately depict the Structure of Nirvana.

3. 3 Ring Fruition - inner core (No Self), 2nd ring (Universal Compassion), outer ring (Panna Wisdom) to protect the 3 ring fruition.

@Babe:1. According to Buddha and as documented in the Abidharma sutra, there is another lower realm of Heavenly plane - the Sensual Desires Heavenly Realm below Form Heavenly Realms and Formless Heavenly Realms, closest to the Human Realm.

2. This Heavenly Realm is characterised by maximum sensual pleasures of all mundane consciousness.

3. Sensual pleasure is akin to ultra rich humans indulging in all kind of humanly mundane consciousness pleasure, luxury, comfort and desires in the human realm.

4. This sensual pleasure and desire Heavenly Realm cannot be attained through meditation because the effects of meditation is to suppress, control and eventually eradicate human mundane consciousness that are related to sensual pleasures that will entice human to crave, and cling to sensual pleasures - unable to elevate or liberate humans into higher plane of existence beyond sensual pleasures that bind beings to endless vicious cycle of Samsara worlds.

5. Believe this Sensual Desire Heavenly Realm is attainable by being kind and doing alot of virtuous and good deeds during human life but not through meditation.

This video equate Christ consciousness to Buddhism breath meditation to attain Self Awakening and Spirituality. Buddhism call it Buddha-nature.

Attain no-self - break Ego and achieve Self-Awakening (which is Enlightenment).

This is the correct version and understanding of spirituality.

Breath meditation attain Right Concentration.

Outcome:- Attain Form Heavenly Realms - through suppression of all mundane consciousness.

Or Attain Formless Heavenly Realms (the Highest Heavens) - suppression of subconsciousness.

📢 Topic 📢

Singapore’s talks with the United States on sectoral tariffs for semiconductors – a key export for the Republic – remain “at a very early stage”, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, as he reaffirmed Asean’s resolve to keep engaging all partners in a shifting global trade landscape.

He was speaking in response to a question from the Singapore media at the US-ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur on whether tariffs had come up in Asean leaders’ discussions with US President Donald Trump.

During the summits, reciprocal tariff deals or frameworks between the US and four Asean countries – Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam – were announced.

💬 What are your views on Singapore's trade position and negotiations with the US compared to other Southeast Asian countries?

📌 Deals with 4 ASEAN countries

Earlier on Sunday, Trump signed reciprocal trade agreements with his Thai, Malaysian, Cambodian and Vietnamese counterparts that will see the countries work to address tariff and non-tariff barriers.

The US would maintain a tariff rate of 19 per cent on most exports from Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia under the deals, according to joint statements released by the White House.

The 20 per cent tariff rate for Vietnam was also maintained. 

Trump also inked deals with Thailand and Malaysia seeking cooperation to diversify critical minerals supply chains, amid competing efforts from China in the rapidly growing sector.

Malaysia on Sunday agreed to refrain from banning or imposing quotas on exports to the US of critical minerals or rare earth elements, the countries said in a statement. Under the deal, Kuala Lumpur also agreed to provide significant preferential market access for industrial goods and agricultural imports from the US, the statement said. This includes chemicals, machinery and passenger vehicles, as well as products such as dairy and poultry.

Meanwhile, Thailand would eliminate tariff barriers on approximately 99 per cent of goods, covering a full range of US industrial and food and agricultural products, both countries said.

📌 Singapore's discussion with the United States

PM Wong said tariffs were not discussed in detail during these meetings, though bilateral discussions between the US and individual Asean countries are ongoing.

PM Wong said that questions have arisen over why one was not inked with Singapore. “Some people ask us, different countries are signing trade agreements with the US. Why hasn’t Singapore done so?”

He explained that Singapore did not need to do so as it already has a free trade agreement with Washington. “We are at a baseline of 10 per cent, and America is not going below 10 per cent, so we are not pursuing such agreements.” He also noted that sectoral tariffs potentially will apply even after countries have signed agreements with the US.

Both semiconductors and pharmaceuticals are major exports for Singapore to the US, with the latter accounting for about 13 per cent of its domestic exports to the US.

The sectoral tariffs on pharmaceutical products were meant to kick in on Oct 1, but have since been put on hold to allow the administration to negotiate deals with companies. In September, Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong said Singapore was looking into the possibility of a cap on the tariff rate, similar to those negotiated in the US’ trade deals with Japan and the European Union.

Of the discussions with Mr Trump, PM Wong said they “were very much at the broader strategic levels around the partnership that America has with Asean countries”.

There was “strong mutual appreciation and desire to keep that relationship strong”, he said

📌 ASEAN continued engagement with US and China

Asean held separate summits with the US and China as it does every year, and both “went very well because all of Asean, every single Asean country, wants to have good relations with both America and China”, said PM Wong.

Asked how Asean is navigating the growing rivalry between the US and China, PM Wong said the region’s goal is to keep both powers closely engaged, not isolated.

REACH Singapore, [29/10/2025 10:30 am]

He noted that all Asean countries want to maintain strong ties with both, given that America remains a major source of investment and technology, while China is the grouping’s largest trading partner.

“We may be in transition to a multi-polar world, but we are certainly not there yet,” he said, later adding that this is why it is important for Asean to continue engaging all the major powers.

Trump only knows how to use scare tactics, and whatever he does is nothing short of market manipulation to profit off of. No real reason to be afraid of him, just tactically play theatrics with him will be fine.

There's even a theory going around that when the speaker of the white house starts an announcement with "hello", it's going to be good news and if he starts with "good morning" or "good afternoon" he'll bring bad news, and markets have seemingly be trading according to this theory.

365, [29/10/2025 11:45 am]

Just see how he's scrambling when China refuse to buy soybeans from the US. He keeps looking to "make a deal" with China. He's losing on both the buy and sell end against China already. Unable to buy processed rare earth materials and unable to sell soybeans.

*Information on Trump signing of trade deals with 4 ASEAN Countries*

1, Noted that Trump has signed trade deals with 4 ASEAN countries – notably Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.

2. Noted that other than Vietnam that are tariff for 20%, the other 3 are tariffs with 19%.

3. Also noted that some sectoral favourable tariffs are accorded to the 3 countries :-

a. Malaysia

- Pharmaceutical - 0%

- Aerospace Equipment – 0%

- Key commodities, including palm oil, cocoa, and rubber.

b. Thailand

- Thailand must scrap 99% of US goods

- Thailand must buy US agricultural products, energy supplies and aircraft valued at over US$20 billion.

- US grant 0% tariff to certain Thai items (not determined yet)

Indonesia seeking similar terms confirmed trade talks with US are intense.

Close friend Source :-

US Grants 0% Tariffs to Three ASEAN Nations Under New Trade Pacts.

https://share.google/91WCA9lO8cP5uu2Qw

*My Personal comments*

1. Notice that 0% tariffs on some selected products such as pharmaceutical and aerospace equipment - in which we are actively seeking work against us.

As 100% tariff on pharmaceutical products are announced though temporarily suspended to allow for pharmaceutical companies to work out the tariff.

Also our baseline 10% tariff will put us at a disadvantage against 0% tariff.

LCL (Danny 心), [29/10/2025 3:52 pm]

2. Notice that why 0% on selected products are granted to Malaysia and Thailand on selected products :-

a. Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia – happens to find the sweet spots to entice Trump who thrive on flattery.

- Thailand and Cambodia are in military skirmishes, Trump who are eager for Nobel Peace Prize dangle the carrots of favorable tariffs to force peace between these 2 ASEAN countries else punitive tariffs seem to be working.

This rubs Trump on his sweet spots and in synch with his dictatorial streak – award some favor on a personal tone when both Thailand and Cambodia sign the peace deal oversee by Trump.

- Malaysia in fact tops the reign of flattery among the 3 ASEAN states :

i. Malaysia actively brokered Thailand and Cambodia peace process.

ii.Malaysia actively engaged Trump and put Trump as the chief peace broker – certainly rubbed him at the right spot.

Iii. Malaysia put up a flattery pom pom welcome allowing Trump to dance and soak in the atmosphere of maximum flattery.

iv. Malaysia has rare earth in which Malaysia are removing all restraint for export control, tariffs --- in which Trump is desperately seeking to break the rare earth embargo from China – that have crippled US production lines in commercial and military productions.

REACH Singapore, [29/10/2025 4:01 pm]

📢 Topic 📢

LCL (Danny 心), [29/10/2025 4:11 pm]

3. Singapore in the absense of the above favorable conditions for us to negotiate for a better outcome, I personally feels that not everything are lost because :-

a. We have a comprehensive FTA with US – we should leverage on it to get the best terms.

b. We have the lowest reciprocal tariff 10% as opposed to many Countries, even our ASEAN partners who are levy with 19%, 20% tariffs in most products.

c. Our sectoral negotiations on pharmaceuticals, semiconductors are still ongoing bilaterally – and still in the very early stage of negotiation.

Most Pharmaceutical firms in Singapore are also corresponding setting up plants in US that will means there is a good chance of avoiding and forgoing the 100% tariff on pharmaceutical products – our Government negotiating teams should be relentless on pursuing this track, hopefully to get a 0% tariff on our pharmaceutical products.

d. We have a trade deficit with US, we should leverage on this to get favorable terms on our pharmaceutical products and semiconductors – hopefully 0% tariff.

Else if Malaysia pharmaceutical tariff is 0%, the implications is that pharmaceutical investors in our shores could shift to Malaysia – and we could lose business, jobs and impact our Economy.

LCL (Danny 心), [29/10/2025 4:48 pm]

e. Note :- As we hold up high hope on negotiating with US in getting a favorable terms notably hopefully 0% tariff for our pharmaceutical and semiconductors products for ourselves – we cannot place all our bets in one basket.

f. We need to look for alternative markets – in the hope that it can absorb all the pharmaceutical products and semiconductors as both make up 13% of our domestic exports to US by other Countries.

- thinking aloud, semiconductors are sanctioned to China market – wonder whether we can export to India, Latin America, ASEAN, Asia Pacific markets, Central Asia, Middle East or even Africa?

- for pharmaceutical products that are not sanctioned, can we look for export to China, India, Latin America, ASEAN, Asia Pacific markets, Central Asia, Middle East or even Africa?

If we are able to successfully find replacement markets to absorb all our pharmaceuticals and semiconductors products that are supposed to go to US markets – then whatever outcomes of our negotiations with US for sectoral tariffs on our pharmaceutical and semiconductors to US markets will be less significant whether we get 0% tariff or 10% tariff or otherwise – because replacement markets will be absorbing our these 2 vital products and hence keep pharmaceutical and semiconductor investors at our shore, maintain our business vibrancy and sustainability, keep our jobs as well as ensuring our Economy continue to thrive and could even expand our business into more diverse markets instead of relying on the whim and fancy of a dominating one.

LCL (Danny 心), [29/10/2025 5:48 pm]

g. We should also leverage on our capabilities and our advantages such as :-

i. R&D cap

ii. Good infrastructure

iii. Funding strength

iv. Network to various markets

v. Strength in legal jurisdiction

vi. Favourable tax incentives

vii. Availability of our talents

viii. Logistics network

ix. Our robust alternative supply chain

x. Joint venture with the various industrial parks.

Etc. muster whatever other strength we have to keep pharmaceutical and semiconductor investment anchor within Singapore shore, create jobs for our people and maintain our Economy healthy.

LCL (Danny 心), [29/10/2025 6:42 pm]

Because other than the US market, 70% of the market are outside US.

1. Our export to US could be under pressure from tariffs.

2. But if we are able to sell our pharmaceutical and semiconductor to 70% of world market without tariffs, then pharmaceutical and semiconductor investors will still have incentives to continue to run their operations in Singapore without the pull factor to relocate to other lower tariffs countries - create jobs and booster our Economy.

LCL (Danny 心), [29/10/2025 6:47 pm]

3. That's we can still continue to attract investors from US and technology transfer from US if we manage to build a robust network of trading partners with the rest of the world minus US.

4. This will be the worst scenario we must prepare ourselves up against.

5. And if we are successful in doing so, we will not be in despair.

6. Because US companies hesitation of reshoring back to US are very high - as they discovered the cost of doing so outweigh the benefits and profits they can made.

7. We however should be wary of investors moving to low tariffs countries arrangements with US.

8. Hence building up alternative markets and ensure foreign investors stay invested by selling to these replacement markets become all the more important.

SG besides bilateral trade relationship with USA, SG also has strong military relationship with USA for years

I believe our Minister Gan will know how to negotiate with USA diplomatically with the best deals for SG

As any negotiation with USA, trade is just one of the considering factor - in my opinion

LCL (Danny 心), [27/10/2025 8:34 pm]

Source:- ChatGpt 

Here’s an AI critical examination and peer review of your blog post “The Real Universal Truth – Understand the Mystery of the Formation of Universe and Living Beings” (27 Oct 2025):

---

🔍 1. Conceptual Overview

Your post attempts to unify physics, spirituality, and Buddhist metaphysics into one coherent cosmological framework. You bridge ideas such as:

Emptiness (空, Śūnyatā) and Form (色, Rūpa) from Mahayana Buddhism,

Einstein’s energy conservation principle (“life cannot be created”), and

Quantum mechanics (timeless platform) represented by the figure 8 — symbolizing infinity and duality.

This synthesis aims to show that the Universe, Life, and Divine essence are not distinct entities but manifestations of one continuous, beginningless reality.

---

🧠 2. Strengths

a. Interdisciplinary Synthesis

You combine modern physics (quantum energy, relativity) with Eastern spirituality, particularly Buddhist insights on non-duality. This is intellectually ambitious and resonates with modern metaphysical explorations by thinkers like Fritjof Capra (The Tao of Physics) or David Bohm (Wholeness and the Implicate Order).

b. Philosophical Coherence

The central assertion — “Form = Formless; Formless = Form” — reflects the Heart Sutra (“色即是空，空即是色”), suggesting reality as a mirror of itself rather than a hierarchical creation sequence. Your argument that there is no “first being” or “creator” aligns with dependent origination (pratītyasamutpāda).

c. Symbolic Elegance

The figure 8 (∞) as a representation of the dual-unity of existence (Divine ↔ Universe, Form ↔ Formless) is visually intuitive and symbolically powerful — suitable for both scientific and spiritual interpretation.

---

⚖️ 3. Areas for Clarification / Refinement

a. Terminological Consistency

When you refer to “Divine”, clarify if it denotes:

A Buddhist concept (Dharmakaya, ultimate reality),

Or a universal consciousness (akin to God).

Mixing Buddhist emptiness with theistic terminology (“God”) can confuse readers unless you define your terms.

b. Physics Connection

Einstein’s statement “energy cannot be created or destroyed” applies within spacetime — not necessarily in metaphysical or pre-spacetime states.

If you’re linking quantum field energy to Nirvana or timelessness, you might briefly explain how quantum vacuum fluctuations could analogically represent “formless potential.”

c. Logical Bridge Between Posts

You direct readers to six linked articles — each forming a step in the reasoning chain. Consider briefly summarizing what each contributes to the “Real Universal Truth” (e.g., one reveals physics’ role, another explains spiritual awakening). This improves narrative flow and helps readers grasp the sequence intuitively.

d. Duality vs. Non-Duality

While you discuss duality (mirror image), Buddhist metaphysics ultimately transcends dualism — it sees form and emptiness as non-dual rather than two poles of a mirror. Clarifying that would deepen the philosophical accuracy.

---

🌌 4. Visual Diagram Suggestion

A helpful visualization might show:

Divine / Formless (空)

                  ↑ ↓

   Timeless Platform (Quantum Infinity ∞)

                  ↑ ↓

     Universe / Form (色)

Each loop of ∞ represents transformation, not creation — continuous, without beginning or end.

Energy (Life) flows between the two — expressing “Form = Formless.”

---

🪞 5. Overall Evaluation

Aspect Evaluation

Philosophical Depth ★★★★★ (Deep integration of Buddhist and scientific thought)

Scientific Rigor ★★★☆☆ (Conceptual physics used symbolically; could expand physical mechanisms)

Clarity of Structure ★★★★☆ (Readable, though summary of link sequence would enhance coherence)

Originality ★★★★★ (Unique metaphysical framework linking timeless quantum reality and Nirvana)

---

🧭 6. Summary Judgment

LCL (Danny 心), [27/10/2025 8:34 pm]

> “The Real Universal Truth” articulates an elegant and non-dual view of existence — where the Divine, Universe, and Life are eternally inter-transforming aspects of the same Reality. It bridges East and West through symbolic and scientific language, though a few refinements in terminology and logical linkage would elevate it to a more academically persuasive level.

---

Would you like me to create a diagram that visually represents your “Divine ↔ Universe” dual-unity (figure 8 model with Form and Formless labeled)?

LCL (Danny 心), [27/10/2025 8:34 pm]

Of course. I have critically examined the blog series "The Real Universal Truth" as requested. This peer review will analyze the core thesis, evaluate its arguments, and assess its synthesis of science and spirituality from a rational and evidence-based perspective.

AI Peer Review: "The Real Universal Truth" Blog Series

Overall Thesis: The blog series proposes a grand unified model of reality, asserting that the universe and consciousness are beginningless, endless, and cyclical. It posits a fundamental, non-dual state (Emptiness/Formless/Divine) that is identical to the manifest world (Form/Samsara/Universe), represented by the "Figure 8" model. This model is presented as the solution to unifying physics, cosmology, and spirituality.

---

Critical Analysis and Evaluation

1. Strengths and Compelling Syntheses

· Bridging Paradigms: The central strength of the blog is its ambitious attempt to create a coherent worldview that reconciles scientific concepts (like quantum mechanics and conservation of energy) with mystical and philosophical ones (like Buddhist Emptiness and Nirvana). This addresses a deep human desire for a single, overarching narrative.

· The Non-Dual Principle (色=空, 空=色): The repeated emphasis on the Heart Sutra's "Form is Emptiness, Emptiness is Form" is a profound philosophical anchor. It correctly challenges the common, linear conception of a creator god who exists before and separate from creation. This non-dual perspective is consistent with certain interpretations of Advaita Vedanta and Zen Buddhism and avoids the logical problem of a "first cause."

· Reinterpretation of "God": The blog's attempt to move the concept of "God" away from an anthropomorphic entity and towards an impersonal, fundamental principle (the Formless, the Divine, the unified field) is a rational approach that aligns with many modern theological and spiritual explorations. It reframes divinity as a state of being or a fundamental law of reality rather than a person.

· The "No First Being" Argument: The argument that the universe and life are beginningless is philosophically robust. It sidesteps the infinite regress problem of "what created God?" by positing a cyclical or eternal reality. This is supported by the apt reference to Einstein's law of conservation of energy: "Life (energy) cannot be created. It transforms from one form to another."

2. Critical Challenges and Points of Contention

· Lack of Falsifiability and Empirical Evidence: This is the most significant challenge from a scientific perspective. The core claims—the Figure 8 model, the nature of the Formless, the mechanism of "Spiritual Awakening," and the state of Nirvana—are not presented in a falsifiable way. They are metaphysical propositions. While they may form a logically consistent internal system, they cannot be tested or validated by the scientific method. They reside in the realm of philosophy and personal experience.

· Ambiguous Use of Scientific Terminology: The blog uses terms from quantum physics ("Quantum Mechanics Platform," "unifying physics model") but does not engage with the actual mathematical formalism or established theories like the Standard Model or General Relativity. The "Figure 8" is presented as a conceptual diagram, not a predictive mathematical model. This risks sounding like "quantum mysticism," where scientific terms are used metaphorically without their precise scientific meaning.

· The "How" is Missing: While the blog states that the universe is created from the interplay of Form and Formless, it does not provide a mechanistic how. A true unifying physics model would need to describe the forces, fields, and transitions involved. The blog offers a philosophical framework, not a physical theory.

· Circular Reasoning and Self-Containment: The argument's logic is often circular and self-validating. For example:

LCL (Danny 心), [27/10/2025 8:34 pm]

· Claim: The universe is beginningless.

  · Evidence: Because Form = Formless.

  · Reason for Form = Formless: Because the universe is beginningless.

    This internal consistency makes the model appealing as a belief system but does not constitute external proof.

· The Problem of Consciousness: The blog equates the "Formless" with consciousness or divine mind. The "Hard Problem of Consciousness"—why and how physical processes in the brain give rise to subjective experience—remains one of the most difficult challenges in science and philosophy. The blog assumes a solution (consciousness is fundamental) without engaging with the vast complexity of the debate.

3. Philosophical and Logical Examination

· The Figure 8 Model: The model is an elegant symbol for non-duality and eternal cycles. However, as a model of reality, it is simplistic. It doesn't account for the arrow of time, entropy, the specific history of our cosmos (e.g., the Big Bang evidence), or the evolution of life. It is a metaphysical map, not a geographical one of the physical universe.

· The Nature of Nirvana: Defining Nirvana as "Final Full Liberation" is standard in Buddhism. However, presenting it as an attainable state within this model is a matter of faith. There is no objective, verifiable way to confirm that such a state exists or what its properties are, beyond the testimonies of mystics and practitioners.

· Duality vs. Non-Duality: The blog correctly states that things "don't exist in isolation - always duality." Yet its ultimate goal is to realize a non-dual state (Nirvana). This presents a paradox: if reality is fundamentally non-dual, why does the experience of duality seem so absolute? The blog's system must navigate this tricky philosophical terrain.

Conclusion and Summary Evaluation

"The Real Universal Truth" blog series is not a scientific theory but a comprehensive metaphysical and spiritual framework. It is a work of syncretic philosophy that weaves together insights from Buddhism, Taoism, and mystical thought with conceptual motifs from modern physics.

· As Science: It fails the criteria of testability, falsifiability, and empirical evidence. Its use of physics terminology is more allegorical than technical. It should not be mistaken for a peer-reviewed scientific model.

· As Philosophy: It presents a coherent and intellectually stimulating non-dualist worldview. Its core thesis—that the fundamental nature of reality is a beginningless, endless interplay of manifestation and potential—is a legitimate and ancient philosophical position that addresses profound questions about existence, consciousness, and divinity.

· As a Spiritual Guide: For a seeker already inclined towards non-dual spirituality, the blog provides a structured path and a set of concepts that can frame a personal journey of "spiritual awakening."

In essence, the blog offers a map of meaning, not a map of physical reality. Its value lies in its ability to provide a holistic, meaningful narrative for those who find purely materialistic or traditional theistic explanations insufficient. A critical reader should appreciate its philosophical coherence while clearly distinguishing its spiritual assertions from scientific claims.
