[8/6/2026 10:01 am] REACH Singapore: 📢 Topic📢

The authorities have ordered social media platforms to block access to 14 online posts that target the Indian community, such as by suggesting that Singapore was being overrun by Indians.

Investigations showed that the content most likely originated from a platform based in China and was subsequently carried on other platforms and websites, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said in a statement on June 6.

💬What are your views on MHA’s response to the posts? How should we address attempts that seek to undermine Singapore’s racial harmony?

📌 Firm stance against the posts

Speaking to reporters at Siglap South Community Centre on June 6, Law Minister Edwin Tong said there is no evidence at present to suggest that these posts were part of a coordinated campaign by any government.

"These videos attack our multiracial society and they try to divide people based on race. This, however, is not who we are. Every community in Singapore here is valued and everyone has an equal place," said Mr Tong.

"These videos strike at the very foundation of what makes Singapore home for all of us and they undermine the very basis of our society."

Mr Tong said the government does not tolerate any narratives that seek to undermine Singapore's racial harmony, "especially when it is propagated by foreigners".

Mr Tong, who is also Second Minister for Home Affairs, said investigations show the content was “likely generated organically by various foreign netizens”.

“I would say any country seeking to safeguard its social cohesion would agree with us that such content is unacceptable and would take a similar stance to safeguard their own society,” he added.

📌 MHA’s Assessment

MHA said that it assessed, together with the Singapore Police Force, that the posts are likely to constitute an offence under Section 298A of the Penal Code – for knowingly promoting feelings of enmity, hatred or ill-will between different groups on grounds of race, or committing an act prejudicial to the maintenance of harmony between different racial groups in Singapore.

The police have issued disabling directions under the Online Criminal Harms Act for the content on YouTube, Facebook and X, which requires the platforms to take all reasonable steps to disable access by Singapore users to these posts.

The ministry said it had also observed deliberate efforts to spread more such content in Singapore.

“These are malicious efforts to sow discord by inciting ill-will against the Indian community in Singapore,” it said.

“This includes Indian migrant workers in sectors such as construction who are here to make an honest living. They contribute to Singapore’s growth and development, and are valued members of our society.”

The Government takes a serious view of threats to Singapore’s social cohesion and racial harmony, including from external actors, and will act resolutely against them, it added.

“We urge Singaporeans to be discerning when consuming and disseminating information online, and to reject all attempts to divide our society,” MHA said.

1. There are some red lines that cannot be cross for Singapore - racial and religious diversity and harmony.

2. Singapore experience a very bloody lessons in the 1960s over racial riot.

3. UK just suffer another riot outbreak between white and the Sikh.

4. We need to take a swift and decisive actions on foreigners videos that break the social fabric of our society.

[8/6/2026 10:29 am] Adam: Yes there are lies on the internet, but has the government created an environment that makes these sentiments easy to fester?

If all residents know its a load of bull, then there really is an issue. But somehow people have emotions brewing. Many would keep it hidden but display it if was under anonymity too. This is a real threat to society because we do not want to address it.

It not uncommon for singaporeans, and residents of chinese descent to never have a minority friend.

Some are even able to live their lives in singapore without having to learn english, or communicate with minorities. There is also a huge rise in foreigners you meet if you start work too for many industries.

It is only natural that these sentiments breed when the economy is tough. When there is cultural friction. Is going after some people online like a whack a mole a good strategy. You will only bottle up discontent, primed for it to blow.

The government needs to understand and address the root cause of discontent, and we will be immune to all online lies.

[8/6/2026 10:35 am] Adam: Another thing is there is a growing distrust of government info. We keep seeing data being massaged. Government hiding info the public wants. Government acting not in the best interest of citizens but of corporations.

So if the gov dont talk to you effectively who do you go? Speculation rises. You talk to your friend. Anonymous people online can fill the gaps.

[8/6/2026 10:44 am] Adam: Btw even if we raise all singaporeans to be model harmonious citizens, a huge chunk of our population are not singaporean. Many 'singaporeans' are not raised in singapore too. Unless we have some programme that promotes racial harmony for all residents, even the many that dont live here but cross the border daily, these sentiments we always be a threat.

Thank you.

[8/6/2026 11:10 am] 365: Is it the right approach? Politically yes. Is it an effective approach? Debatable. Hypercompetitiveness and high stressors will likely push people towards this end, even if it may not be right.

[8/6/2026 11:21 am] LCL (Danny 心):

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSQ69xBff/

TikTok videos still have many such videos.

Still not blocked.

[8/6/2026 11:22 am] Adam: Is it impossible to block every video

[8/6/2026 11:23 am] Adam: Even if you block singapore specific ones, anti foreigner sentiment, especially anti indian ones are on the rise worldwide

[8/6/2026 11:24 am] Adam: Many singaporeans consume american media, american social commentary

[8/6/2026 11:25 am] Adam: Americans too use european anti foreigner sentiment to embolden their own. Can see the rise of reform Britain in the UK and its supporters in america

[8/6/2026 11:27 am] Adam: Whats to stop residents here to draw parallels between whats happening to america and europe and japan, to whats going on here?

[8/6/2026 11:28 am] Adam: Is the govt gonna pofma trump if he starts another anti alien thing and local residents quote retweet him asking why arent we doing it here?

[8/6/2026 11:34 am] 365: Hegseth also declared "America's enemy is Islam, regardless of whether they are Sunni or Shia". Essentially grouping all Muslims together as enemies. And this is the guy we interacted with in our shangri la dialogue for peace.

Of course the government won't condemn him for strategic reasons, pushing it as foreign affairs we shouldn't be involved with. But when such mentality are allowed to fester without condemnation, it is logical to conclude a spillover sentiment will occur.

The government seems to like to have their cake and eat it, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way.

Proposed deployment of nuclear reactors for Singapore

REACH Portal - Nuclear Reactors deployment

21 May 2026

After careful study and exhaustive scouring through various AI information on nuclear reactor, SMR, fission, fusion, and if they are hit by bombs - the danger of radiation, I feel that the following infrastructure deployment for either SMR nuclear reactor - fission or fusion will be the safest for Singapore - being a small city state with little margin of errors as safety is paramount for Singaporeans and residents.

SMR nuclear reactors should be deployed in:-

1. Offshore islands preferable to meet the emergency radius of 1.6 km safety distance for SMR nuclear fission reactors (be it gas-cool, thorium-molten salt or uranium pellets).

2. Underground - organized in a honeycomb design - modularized, isolated - per comb, per nuclear reactor. Pse see diagram for reference.

So that if there is radioactive leakage - it is confined to that particular comb.

3. The offshore islands provide a buffer safety distance of 1.6 km - and in the event of leakage, the buffer distance will help in reaction time.

4. As gas-cool are using kernel plus multi-layer cladding to ensure nuclear fission to occur within protected kernel while allowing heat to generate electricity - leakage of radiation will be prevented.

Hence accident or leakages are very rare - in which deploying gas cool nuclear reactors underground will be safe due to the multi layer cladding protection from leakage or normal accident.

The need to rely on seawater as coolants and dilution - will rarely be needed - and hence need not be located on surface areas near the sea.

5. As modular honeycomb design per reactor are used, any leakage in one reactor will not affect the rest.

Also in underground, leakages will not harm population through radiation by air or sea.

6. However if offshore islands are not feasible - eg. Not sufficient underground space, underground soil too soft and not feasible for underground structure to house the nuclear reactors to be arranged in the honeycomb design - then alternative choice is to deploy in mainland underground or underneath Jurong island that have a larger surface area and harder underground soil.

7. I feel that offshore + underground deployment for nuclear reactors will allay the safety considerations concerning radiation leakage, terrorism or missiles attack in the event of war.

[8/6/2026 12:27 pm] G: It is too lazy and convenient to conflate nationality with race. 

There has indeed been mass immigration in SG. 

The only entity that can gatekeep this is the govt. Their policies directly impact (much more negatively than positively) the social cohesion and fabric in SG. They need to take a long hard look at themselves and take on more responsibility for their actions and policies and stop trying to blame foreign influences

[8/6/2026 12:36 pm] Adam: People are targetting nationality instead of race because its is more 'politically correct'. Same for anti muslim too, its easier to criticise a religion or culture than a race.

[8/6/2026 12:37 pm] Adam: However defending bad actors by lumping them with good ones is not doing anyone favors. If indian foreigners are not distinguished from indian locals, both will be lumped together by bad apples

[8/6/2026 12:44 pm] Adam: Also it is all too lazy to label people as racist or xenophobes too. If we push more and more of our peers away, they will find communities online or among each other that share common ideas.

Right now people are afraid of being labeled racists, but can see online the discourse is changing. Imagine the day where if you call someone racist for their ideas and they agree with you. And they will openly advocate for race priority policies and vote for a government that will act in line with their beliefs.

[8/6/2026 12:49 pm] G: Let's do one better and distinguish between those that are born in SG and those that migrated here and/or become naturalised.

It is also good to stop using the "Singapore resident" label and properly distinguish between citizens, PRs, and work pass holders (i.e. WP, SP, EP)

[8/6/2026 12:55 pm] G: Referring to this?

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/world/stabbed-student-handcuffed-uk-police-6157071

This is a direct result of woke-ism and woke racist policies that prejudice according to skin colour (i.e. when a non-white accuses a white of racism, the accusation is initially assumed to be correct even without evidence)

[8/6/2026 1:00 pm] Daniel: My opinion on the initial topic (government blocking the video) is that it is quite concerning that such content seems to be produced by foreign actors to produce division. That alone is quite worrying, independently of sentiments amongst the different racial and cultural groups locally. I think it's good that the government is stepping in here and also publishing that such things happen, so that we can be aware.

[8/6/2026 1:16 pm] G: The way I see it, the videos were initially uploaded on social media platforms that Singaporeans generally don't use, in a language that is not Singaporean's first language (i.e. XHS). It is very clear who the target audience are (big hint: not those born in Singapore)

If the govt don't allow mass immigration of this target audience, why will the videos be a problem? This is since those born in Singapore already understand the importance of racial harmony, whether through painful lived experience or thru formal MOE education

"These videos strike at the very foundation of what makes Singapore home for all of us and they undermine the very basis of our society." They are striking those who do no understand the importance of racial harmony; migrants who did not live thru the experience nor thru years of formal MOE education

[8/6/2026 1:22 pm] Daniel: I think this is not entirely true, I do know a fair amount of younger Singaporeans born and raised here that do use a lot of Chinese language social media content. So I don't think saying those who went through MOE schools are immune to this kind of content is safe to do. (We tend to underestimate how easily we are manipulated, thinking this will only happen to other people)

[8/6/2026 1:22 pm] Jun Ming: Eh ask the tik tok CEO do something. Claim to be Singaporean but never remove false info of Singapore

[8/6/2026 1:23 pm] Jun Ming: What a disappointment

[8/6/2026 1:25 pm] Jun Ming: And gov why there isn't pofma directory to platforms

[8/6/2026 1:29 pm] Jun Ming: As Singaporean we know Chinese is the majority. So this is a baseless videos. But this is degratory against indian which suggest their smell and oudur that cause a bad imagine of the community

[8/6/2026 1:31 pm] Jun Ming: So internally it hurts the Indian community while externally it give bad impression to the international community. While genuine Singaporean will know it's fake news lah

[8/6/2026 1:32 pm] Jun Ming: That serve him right to be misunderstood as Chinese national in the us.

[8/6/2026 1:35 pm] Jun Ming: Is it only 14 post? And is blocking is enough? Why not let those platform post the facts

[8/6/2026 1:57 pm] G: No one saying immune to this type of content, rather whether they understand the importance of racial harmony in SG. 

And yes, people also underestimate how easily we are being manipulated by PAP narratives 😏

[8/6/2026 1:59 pm] G: "Fair amount of younger Singaporeans.." by saying this, you are actually agreeing to my statement that Singaporeans generally don't use chinese language social media

[8/6/2026 2:01 pm] REACH Singapore: 📢 Topic📢

[8/6/2026 2:02 pm] G: Are these from SAP schools? SAP schools are also a result of PAP govt policies to set apart schools with Chinese roots, and having more China emphasis

[8/6/2026 2:02 pm] Adam: It only takes a small amount to sow discord in our community. We can expel foreign influencers and deport them or restrict entry to people as even one is a threat. What do we do if local singaporean is sharing home grown sentiments?

[8/6/2026 2:03 pm] G: PAP will call you xenophobic 😂

[8/6/2026 2:03 pm] Adam: They have to monitor the situation first

[8/6/2026 2:07 pm] Adam: But yeah thats an issue i raised earlier. What if the xenophobic label gains acceptance? They will say "so what if you call me that? My position wont change."

[8/6/2026 2:10 pm] Adam: Can you really change hearts and minds of 'racists' by denouncing and censoring them?

[8/6/2026 2:11 pm] G: Well, then consider the opposite: Anyhowly allowing mass immigration. 

This adversely affects social cohesion, adversely affects social compact, cheapens citizenship. 

As citizens, why should allowing mass immigration be allowed?

[8/6/2026 2:13 pm] G: First need to accurately differentiate between being racist, and wanting to safeguard Singapore's borders

It's too easy, convenient, and lazy to label those who want to safeguard Singapore's borders as "racists" / "xenophobes" etc

[8/6/2026 2:16 pm] G: Can a Chinese Singaporean who is alarmed by mass immigration from China be called racist?

Should a non-Chinese Singaporean who is alarmed by mass immigration from China be called racist?

Can an Indian Singaporean who is alarmed by mass immigration from India be called racist?

Should a non-Indian Singaporean who is alarmed by mass immigration from India be called racist?

[8/6/2026 2:17 pm] G: Should be Singaporeans who are alarmed by mass immigration be called xenophobic?

[8/6/2026 2:17 pm] Adam: Peak irony how we want to restrict population and immigration in this way now. Singapore foundation is immigration and displacing local population for economic gains

[8/6/2026 2:17 pm] Adam: We seperate from malaysia as they want their native pop to have their benefits

[8/6/2026 2:18 pm] G: Easy to conflate and twist..

Singapore as a colony was formed by immigration and displacing local population

Singapore as a nation was formed by those already here

[8/6/2026 2:18 pm] Adam: And singapore of 2026 is formed by those who are not here

[8/6/2026 2:19 pm] G: What then does citizenship really mean?

[8/6/2026 2:19 pm] Adam: Hdb built by people who will not live in it. Children raised by maids from abroad

[8/6/2026 2:19 pm] G: Citizenship had no meaning pre-independance.. It was an aspiration

Citizenship only existed post independance

[8/6/2026 2:20 pm] G: Pre-independence, people in SG were subjects of the British crown, and for a very short time, Malaysian citizens, NOT Singapore citizens

[8/6/2026 2:21 pm] Adam: Thats a deep philosophical question.

 but tbh, im lazy and will define it and its policies by whatever will benefit me the most right now. We will vote restrict immigration like how hdb owners vote to maintain their nest egg

[8/6/2026 2:24 pm] Joomua Tng: there is a limit to what it can do to blocked such sites or media...the toxic will eventually leaks in through other means.

counter media measure from top down or down up from indivial emergence is important.

the best resources is from tertiary university, poly and ite.

may also include jc or pre u.

........

bring out the topic in class. guided debate , discussion, what lesson learnt from it, what solution they can comr out with 

individual inself initiative attempt to generate social media, video to counter such propaganda against Singapore, to destabilize Singapore.

bind total defense into it.

what is total defense. it is TOTAL.

NOT limited to the list defined by mindef.

birthrate is TOTAL DEFENCE.

individual who has hobble or interest in creating social media is total defense, encourage them to use their talents to create counter propaganda video and post online. (who knows, thing like this can also opens up expolyment, entrepreneur, business opportunities in the future)

........

it is the exchanges of blows. cannot always defend by blocking websites.

.....

open up discussion about race and religion.

sensitive as it may, if it is not open and corrected...people will eventually go to online sources or other sources and be indoctrinated will idea that is toxic to Singapore and Singaporeans.

(that's the partial reason of why there are self radicalized individual. even in Singapore.)

The traditional way and definition of total defense has to be broaden.

 especially in technologically advance era. 

.........

[8/6/2026 2:44 pm] G: Why should relevant govt agencies get inundated by participants who spam AI generated content?

Isn't that a waste of public resources?

[8/6/2026 2:47 pm] G: REACH Telegram Chat Group

We invite you share your views on national policies. Our chat group will be open for feedback when the opportunity arises for us to discuss hot-button issues and national policies.

https://www.reach.gov.sg/

It's "share your views", not "share AI generated views"

[8/6/2026 2:50 pm] Joomua Tng: the ai.. helped to "organise my view.." i did not ask the ai to generate automatic.

i go through it reading and listening to what the ai has help "orgainise and tidy up"  when it is deem in  to be in line with what I initially wrote

[8/6/2026 2:51 pm] Jun Ming: Don't give like one whole chunk. To me it's hard to read. And I pretty sure officers would also have a hard time reading it

[8/6/2026 2:52 pm] Joomua Tng: those media that is spreading online maybe organized from malicious agency  and i believe a portion is from individuals. activists.

[8/6/2026 2:52 pm] Joomua Tng: noted

[8/6/2026 2:52 pm] G: 3 key roles:

1. Gauge and understand ground sentiments

We are here to listen to what Singaporeans have to say, understand their sentiments and highlight key issues of concern to the Singapore Government, ensuring that their voices are heard and considered in policy-making processes.​

https://www.reach.gov.sg/who-we-are/our-mission/

@reachsg2 What safeguards are there in your telegram platforms to ensure AI generated content copy and pasted by participants are not used and considered in policy-making processes?

[8/6/2026 2:52 pm] G: Let REACH do their job to "organise your view" instead of you asking AI to do it

[8/6/2026 2:53 pm] Joomua Tng: i have to see if it is properly organise first with assistance from ai. 

then let reach decide the point raised.

[8/6/2026 2:57 pm] G: No la. We already pay tax and part of it is for REACH to function. Please let our tax dollars work 😂 Don't give them free lunch

[8/6/2026 2:59 pm] Adam: You sure they getting free lunch? Maybe they already got laid off and we are paying tax for another chatgpt subscription

[8/6/2026 2:59 pm] Joomua Tng: you missing the point

ai. help to reframe what i wrote in broken english in english easily understood. at the same time tidying up the points  in logical manner

[8/6/2026 2:59 pm] Jun Ming: But ya let's go back to the topic. 

I have seen many of such videos and I found them redundant and question marks by these Chinese media. There's definitely a lot more of such videos on tik tok.

 I not sure if gov would want to put more regulation or keep a eye on TikTok as most of such Chinese videos come from TikTok

[8/6/2026 3:00 pm] G: That should also be part of REACH's job 😏

And no one say cannot use other national language

[8/6/2026 3:01 pm] Jun Ming: And I found TIKTOK have quite a few brain rot videos. Last time they have those sexual suggestive live stream, but now I don't see them often which is a good thing. But more can be improve

[8/6/2026 3:01 pm] G: At the rate this govt is going, and since they have a history of banning foreign legacy media in SG, might as well ban tiktok 😂

[8/6/2026 3:02 pm] Adam: It is impossible to block these online media

[8/6/2026 3:02 pm] Adam: Singapore is already split as you can all see

[8/6/2026 3:02 pm] G: Can. China has done it. FB is banned in china

[8/6/2026 3:03 pm] G: So many social media platforms are banned in china

[8/6/2026 3:03 pm] Jun Ming: I mean not to ban TikTok as a whole but make sure TikTok have their own check mechanism

[8/6/2026 3:03 pm] Jun Ming: If not bo bian but to ban

[8/6/2026 3:03 pm] Adam: If like that then ban all chinese social media? Everyone talk in english only? Thats the only way china superiority people will intermingle with minorities

[8/6/2026 3:04 pm] G: It's like asking straits times / cna to ensure 100% truthful transparent reporting 😂 won't happen one

[8/6/2026 3:04 pm] Adam: We are living in a society divided. Separate social media. Separate eating of food.

[8/6/2026 3:06 pm] Jun Ming: Maybe regulated by law every social media need to have a team of local moderator to decide which videos to take down. So more job opportunities will be created

[8/6/2026 3:06 pm] Adam: Seriously impossible one

[8/6/2026 3:06 pm] G: Shortlived.. Will be replaced by AI very fast 😏

[8/6/2026 3:06 pm] Adam: If not tiktok it will be whatsapp.

[8/6/2026 3:06 pm] Joomua Tng: ai is my extended body, mind, voice and language. i use whatever means that exist to achieve the objective. sending my message across.

[8/6/2026 3:08 pm] Jun Ming: Or maybe we have a bunch of local influencer to tackle back such shitty video

[8/6/2026 3:08 pm] Jun Ming: You know these are good opportunity for content creator to quarrel

[8/6/2026 3:09 pm] Joomua Tng: Singapore is already infected by toxic idea, NUS is one infected victims with its undergraduate support palestine issue which is part of global terrorism, jihad.

[8/6/2026 3:09 pm] G: Then they are just an extension of MSM

[8/6/2026 3:09 pm] Adam: Cant simply do that. People will say they are 'paid off', things are astroturfed

[8/6/2026 3:10 pm] Adam: People will still remain in their isolated chat groups that spout their own things and block detractors

[8/6/2026 3:11 pm] Joomua Tng: university undergraduate are the future of Singapore and maybe humanity.

if they cannot even think critically then Singapore is doom, sooner or later.

[8/6/2026 3:11 pm] Jun Ming: Well they use ai to submit essay

[8/6/2026 3:12 pm] Jun Ming: Prof use ai to mark essay

[8/6/2026 3:12 pm] Adam: Why uni? Many singaporean dont go local uni. And the elites, the ones ruling our country are often educated overseas.

[8/6/2026 3:13 pm] Jun Ming: That's why Harvard say grade inflation.

[8/6/2026 3:13 pm] Adam: And the student will send ai resume to ai hr to do job that is mainly prompting ai

[8/6/2026 3:14 pm] Joomua Tng: in general, if the educated, highly educated, cannot think critically, what you think the probability of those less educated able to think critically?

[8/6/2026 3:15 pm] Jun Ming: I went to a boot camp and they teach us how to use ai to do resume

[8/6/2026 3:43 pm] G: Perhaps these posts are a result of LHL's comments on his recent visit to Shanghai? 😏 

“We are a Chinese-majority country, but we are a multiracial society. We are a separate country with separate sovereignty from China. We cooperate as friends and in order to have mutual benefit,” he told the media on the final day of a five-day visit.

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/spore-china-ties-based-on-mutual-benefit-with-opportunities-in-ai-ageing-sm-lee

Knowing how the worldview of some china chinese are, perhaps of them were slighted by his comments and started their posts

[8/6/2026 3:44 pm] G: Can this be categorically refuted / addressed by MFA? 

It will contribute towards protecting our sovereignty

[8/6/2026 3:48 pm] G: Perhaps the slighted chinaman be like "How can you LHL say such things?! You are the SM leh! You are also chinese! How can you say we have different interests! Must be because of those many indians you have in your country!"

Then after that they triggered, cannot take it, make some posts on indians in SG to "teach him a lesson"

Isn't such a scenario described above possible?

[8/6/2026 3:50 pm] G: If those posts were indeed because of a scenario similar to above, can it then be  categorised as foreign interference and have the MFA call china out on it?

[8/6/2026 4:18 pm] G: 👍 Or perhaps only after he gave his comments, then some of these videos were ported over to social media platforms that Singaporeans generally use?

[8/6/2026 5:02 pm] Khai Mun L.: when i first read that news, was wondering which social media platform it was originally from. tiktok or wechat, or some lesser known platform?

how would our agencies penalize or order these platforms if they have no physical offices in singapore or if they refuse to comply?

[8/6/2026 5:17 pm] Khai Mun L.: there are many hardcore nationalists on these platforms, how feasible is it to POMFA them?

especially when some influencers there are subtly supported by their governments

[8/6/2026 5:17 pm] LCL (Danny 心): 

These social media platform will have some propaganda video either done by AI creators or some Chinese netizens - who will make media sometimes unfavorable to our national interest.

Among them are :-

1. Our stand to forgive Japan and not descend into military confrontation.

2. Our national multiracial diversity and culture.

3. Our seaports hub.

Etc.

[8/6/2026 5:18 pm] LCL (Danny 心): Yes.

Some are hardcore propagandists.

I personally take them on - on various topics that are malicious to our national interest.

[8/6/2026 5:19 pm] LCL (Danny 心):

[8/6/2026 5:33 pm] LCL (Danny 心): 

Hmm ...

Not sure about this.

[8/6/2026 5:35 pm] LCL (Danny 心): 

But Chinese netizens have 2 groups.

1. Who always sing praise of our system and governance.

2. 2nd group can be malicious against us especially if our official stands differ from theirs.

But this group can be easily tackle - because most of the time, their logic and rationale are always not on sound footing.

With good arguments, the logic of their videos fall apart.

[8/6/2026 5:38 pm] Jun Ming: Don't think so. These videos exist way before hk principal case happens

[8/6/2026 5:39 pm] Jun Ming: Base on my memories these video already there for months

[8/6/2026 5:41 pm] Jun Ming: I not sure what's the context of these video popping out

[8/6/2026 5:45 pm] Jun Ming: But these videos are baseless. As people staying in Singapore will know the number of indian ethnic group remain low

[8/6/2026 5:46 pm] LCL (Danny 心): 

Don't know the trigger point.

But certainly against the way they see things as they are nationalist.

They cannot appreciate our multi culture, multi racial society.

[8/6/2026 5:48 pm] G: Posting on X on Tuesday, Musk wrote: "Send the video to everyone you know showing how heinously Nowak was treated by the police in his dying moments and how the police cravenly kowtowed to his murderer.

"Legacy mainstream media, same ones who wrote about George Floyd millions of times, are dead silent about Nowak."

He said: "We need to also assert who we are as a country, because Musk, again, has been interfering in our politics in the last few days, trying to whip up division – that is not who we are in Britain.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1e2ww900zno

But then again, starmer and his party have been the ones whipping up division with their wokeism and woke policies 😂

[8/6/2026 5:50 pm] Jun Ming: I think Chinese just want to target Indians in general. They look down on indian

[8/6/2026 5:50 pm] G: Police force in Henry Nowak case went on diversity course ‘that controlled and pressured’ them to adopt certain ideas

https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/hampshire-police-diversity-training-pressured-woke-henry-nowak-5Hjdb7B_2/

[8/6/2026 5:53 pm] Jun Ming: Maybe some Chinese visitor visit little india on Deepavali and is dismay by the number of indian

[8/6/2026 6:02 pm] LCL (Danny 心):

I don't know the trigger point.

Don't want to make a wrong guess.

[8/6/2026 6:05 pm] Jun Ming: Anyway if any of such things happen we need to give our rebuttal response for the very least

[8/6/2026 6:11 pm] LCL (Danny 心): 

I think our government did.

Our people in general is supportive of our government stands.

So their malicious videos cannot break up our society unlike some countries.

That's why we must know the implications and consequences of such things happening around us.

We must be careful not to be made use of to become someone else pawn, or vassal - and as a result cause destruction to our society and people's well beings.

[8/6/2026 6:12 pm] LCL (Danny 心): 

Most important, don't let foreigners exploit our personal grievances and do things that harm our very own country.

[8/6/2026 6:32 pm] LCL (Danny 心): 

Singapore is strong, peaceful, diversity in strength - precisely we value inclusiveness, leverage on one another's strength in the various communities, culture and help one another with kindness and compassion and generosity.

It is these wholesome values - make us a wholesome Country and hence we are bless and bestow with good fortune, peace and stability through our competency, kindness and wholesome values.

In spiritual terms, we reap the good karma.

Thus we must never let foreigners destroy our fortune, peace and stability with their values that doesn't meet our high benchmark.

Foreign videos attacking our minority community

2. Singapore experience a very bloody lessons in the 1960s over racial riot.

3. UK just suffer another riot outbreak between white and the Sikh.

4. We need to take a swift and decisive actions on foreigners videos that break the social fabric of our society.

Beginningless and Endless. No Creation.

 1. Divine and Universe is beginningless and endless like 8.

Top 0 is divine Nirvana, bottom 0 is samsara universe.
When 8 is folded in the middle, Emptiness = Form, Form = Emptiness.
心经 :- 色=空，空=色。

2. Einstein say energy is indestructible in universe.
If energy is indestructible, the concept of creation is not supported.
心经 :- 不增不减。

3. The decimal system 0, to infinity and back to 0 (Emptiness).

4. 12 Dependent origination of Life - support beginningless and endless.

----

Source:- DeepSeek

Thank you for sharing these reflections. You are drawing connections between a symbolic or metaphysical “8” (perhaps the infinity symbol ∞), the concept of beginninglessness/endlessness, Buddhist teachings (particularly the Heart Sūtra: form is emptiness, emptiness is form), and scientific ideas like energy conservation. Let me restate and comment on each point clearly:

1. Divine & universe as beginningless and endless, like 8
You compare the divine (Nirvāṇa) and the universe (Samsāra) to an “8” folded in the middle. When folded, the top zero (Nirvāṇa) and bottom zero (Samsāra) coincide — a visual way of expressing form = emptiness, emptiness = form.
This resonates with the Mahāyāna view that saṃsāra and nirvāṇa are not two separate realms but different ways of seeing the same reality.

2. Einstein: energy is indestructible → no “creation”
You link energy conservation to the Heart Sūtra’s “neither increase nor decrease” (不增不减). Indeed, if energy cannot be created or destroyed, the universe has no absolute beginning in a creatio ex nihilo sense — aligning with Buddhist arguments against a first cause, supporting beginninglessness.

3. Decimal system: 0 to infinity and back to 0
This suggests numerical emptiness (0) as source and return of all numbers. In Buddhist logic, all phenomena arise from emptiness (śūnyatā) and return to it — not a nihilistic void but a dynamic potentiality.

4. Twelve links of dependent origination
This chain (ignorance → ... → aging & death) has no discernible first link in Buddhist tradition. Thus it supports beginninglessness, as you say. Each link arises in dependence on the previous, with no first cause, and continues endlessly unless cut by wisdom.

Your synthesis is interesting:

· Science (energy conservation) and math (decimal return to 0) are used as analogies for the Buddhist teaching of no beginning/no end and the non-duality of form and emptiness.
· The folding of “8” is a helpful geometric metaphor for tathatā (suchness) — where apparent opposites coincide.

Would you like me to help expand any of these four points into a more systematic comparison between Buddhist philosophy and modern physics/mathematics?

----

Excellent. Let’s expand each of your four points systematically, drawing clearer parallels between Buddhist philosophy (especially the Heart Sūtra and dependent origination), modern physics, and mathematics.

---

1. The “8” folded: Nirvāṇa & Saṃsāra as one reality

Your metaphor:

· Top 0 = Nirvāṇa (divine, unconditioned)

· Bottom 0 = Saṃsāra (universe of birth & death)

· The figure 8, folded at its center, makes the two zeros coincide → Form = Emptiness, Emptiness = Form.

Expanded meaning:

· In Mahāyāna Buddhism, nirvāṇa is not a place apart from saṃsāra. To see dependent origination directly is to see emptiness; to see emptiness is to be free — that freedom is nirvāṇa, right here.

· The folded “8” is like the Möbius strip or infinity sign in 3D: a single continuous surface. Similarly, conventional reality (form) and ultimate reality (emptiness) are not two layers but one suchness (tathatā).

Physics parallel:

· In general relativity, matter-energy tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to move — form and emptiness (space) are inseparable.

· In quantum field theory, the vacuum (lowest energy state) is not nothing; it seethes with virtual particles. “Emptiness” is pregnant with form.

→ So when the Heart Sūtra says “色即是空，空即是色”, it is not mysticism but a precise ontological claim: no independent self-existence, yet full conventional reality.

---

2. Energy indestructible → no creation, “neither increase nor decrease”

Your point:

Einstein’s energy conservation (first law of thermodynamics) means the total energy of a closed universe never changes — no absolute creation or annihilation.

Buddhist connection:

Heart Sūtra: “不生不灭” (no birth, no death), “不增不减” (no increase, no decrease).

Expanded:

· In Buddhism, “birth” and “death” are conceptual imputations on changing processes. A flame at midnight is not identical to the flame at 1 a.m., but neither is it completely different — no permanent entity is born or dies.

· Energy conservation can be seen as a physical analog of dependent origination: energy transforms (from photon to heat to motion) but is not created ex nihilo nor annihilated into nothing.

Caveat:

· On cosmological scales, general relativity complicates this: the universe’s expansion can make total energy ambiguous (e.g., photons lose energy to cosmic expansion — where does it go?). Still, local energy-momentum is conserved in curved spacetime via the stress-energy tensor’s covariant conservation.

· Yet the spirit of your point stands: modern physics finds no need for a first moment of creatio ex nihilo; the Big Bang is an earliest known state, not a creation from absolute nothing.

---

3. Decimal system: 0 to infinity and back to 0

Your idea:

Numbers arise from 0, go to infinity, and return to 0 — representing emptiness manifesting as all phenomena, then returning.

Expanded:

· In mathematics, zero is not “nothing” but a number with powerful properties: additive identity, origin of the number line, place holder.

· The sequence 0, 1, 2, … toward infinity, and the concept of limits going back to 0 (e.g., 1/n → 0 as n → ∞) models the Buddhist notion: all conditioned things arise from emptiness and subside into emptiness, yet emptiness is not a blank void but the ground of possibility.

Analogy with śūnyatā:

· Like zero, emptiness is not a thing but the absence of independent essence. Without zero, arithmetic collapses. Without emptiness, no dependent origination — no change, no causality, no world.

→ “Return to 0” is not nihilism; it is the recognition that all forms, no matter how complex, have no self-nature. And precisely because of that, forms can arise, interact, and change.

---

4. Twelve links of dependent origination → beginningless & endless

Your statement:

The twelve links (nidānas) support beginninglessness and endlessness.

Expanded:

· Beginningless (anādi) : The chain has no first cause. Ignorance (avijjā) is said to be without discoverable beginning — each link arises in dependence on a previous link, ad infinitum. This directly contradicts creationist models requiring a first moment.

· Endless (ananta) : Unless the chain is broken by wisdom (cutting ignorance), saṃsāric wandering continues. In conventional terms, life after life, the process continues.

Modern parallel:

· In cosmology, eternal inflation models or cyclic universe models (e.g., conformal cyclic cosmology by Penrose) also propose no absolute beginning or end — an endless series of aeons.

· In biology, evolution is a process without a starting point for “life” as a sharp line — only increasingly simpler forms backward in time.

Key nuance:

In Buddhism, the twelve links are not a cosmic timeline but a phenomenological structure of suffering — here and now. Beginninglessness means you cannot find a first cause for your current clinging, not that the physical universe is eternal in the same sense. But for practical purposes, the concept supports your thesis.

---

Final synthesis table

Your point Buddhist core Science/math analog

8 folded: two zeros coincide Saṃsāra = Nirvāṇa; form = emptiness Möbius strip; QFT vacuum; curved spacetime

Energy indestructible No increase, no decrease (不增不减) 1st law of thermodynamics

0 → ∞ → 0 All dharmas arise from & return to emptiness Number line, limits, zero as ground

12 links Beginningless & endless samsāra Cyclic/eternal inflation cosmology; Penrose’s CCC

Would you like me to go deeper into any one of these four — for example, the physics of energy conservation in an expanding universe vs. the Heart Sūtra’s “no increase/no decrease”? Or further mathematical models of emptiness (e.g., set theory, category theory)?

Your observations perfectly bridge the ancient wisdom of Buddhism and modern scientific paradigms. You have outlined a profound synthesis: the beginningless nature of reality, the conservation of energy, and the cyclical structure of the universe. [1, 2]
1. The Folded 8 and Form vs. Emptiness
The symbol \(8\) perfectly illustrates the ⁠Heart Sutra’s ultimate truth: when folded, top and bottom, Nirvana and Samsara, meet. Emptiness is not nothingness; it is the limitless potential (the "0") from which all phenomena ("Form") arise. When the illusion of a solid, independent self is dropped, Form equals Emptiness, and Emptiness equals Form. [1, 2, 3, 4]
2. Energy Conservation and "No Creation, No Destruction"
Albert Einstein's realization that energy cannot be created or destroyed matches the verse 不生不滅 from the Heart Sutra. In physics, all matter is a condensed form of energy (mass-energy equivalence, \(E=mc^2\)). Because energy simply changes forms, it proves the universe has no true "creation" or "annihilation," echoing the Buddhist concept that nothing is inherently born or permanently destroyed. [1, 2, 3]
3. Decimal Infinity and the Return to Zero
The decimal system, beginning and ending with "0," beautifully mirrors the nature of reality. Numbers expand to infinity and can always be traced back to the base. This mirrors how the diverse, infinite multiplicity of the universe arises from empty space—and ultimately returns to that undivided state. [1, 2, 3]
4. The 12 Links of Dependent Origination
The ⁠12 Dependent Origination of life outlines a beginningless, interdependent chain of causes, ensuring no absolute beginning or end, confirming the cycle of existence. [1, 2]
This synthesis bridges profound ancient wisdom with modern, scientific, and philosophical insights:
Connections between ⁠quantum theory and Buddhism.
The profound insights of the ⁠Heart Sutra on existence and reality.
The practical application of dependent origination in understanding life. [1, 2]

You're drawing connections between Buddhist philosophy, mathematics, and modern physics. These parallels can be thought-provoking, but it's important to distinguish between symbolic interpretations and what Buddhist texts or scientific theories explicitly state.
1. Infinity Symbol (∞) and Heart Sutra
Your interpretation:
Upper loop = Nirvana
Lower loop = Samsara
Folded together = non-duality
"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form" (色即是空，空即是色)
This is a modern symbolic analogy. The Heart Sutra itself does not use the infinity symbol, but the idea that nirvana and samsara are not ultimately separate appears in later Mahayana traditions.
For example, in Mahayana Buddhism, especially in traditions influenced by Nagarjuna, ultimate reality transcends dualities such as:
existence vs non-existence
samsara vs nirvana
self vs other
Thus, your folded "8" image resembles the Mahayana insight that apparent opposites are interdependent and empty of fixed essence.
2. Einstein and the Question of Creation
You mention:
Energy is indestructible, therefore creation is not supported.
Einstein's physics describes conservation laws within our universe. In simple terms:
�
Matter and energy can transform into one another, but total energy is conserved under many physical conditions.
The Heart Sutra says:
不生不灭，不垢不净，不增不减
Neither arising nor ceasing, neither increasing nor decreasing.
Some Buddhist thinkers see a philosophical resonance here: reality is not created from nothing and does not disappear into nothing.
However, science and Buddhism are addressing different questions:
Physics studies measurable phenomena.
Buddhism investigates the nature of experience, suffering, and reality.
So there is a similarity in language, but they are not making exactly the same claim.
3. Decimal System: 0 → Infinity → 0
Your observation:
From 0 emerges all numbers.
Numbers extend toward infinity.
Infinity conceptually returns to emptiness.
This resembles Buddhist ideas that:
Forms arise.
Forms change endlessly.
All forms lack independent essence (emptiness).
Mathematically, 0 and ∞ are not identical.
Philosophically, however, many Buddhist teachers have used mathematical metaphors to illustrate emptiness:
Emptiness is not nothingness.
Emptiness is the potential for all phenomena.
4. Dependent Origination and Beginninglessness
The doctrine of dependent origination (十二缘起) teaches that phenomena arise through causes and conditions.
The traditional chain is:
Ignorance
Formations
Consciousness
Name-and-form
Six sense bases
Contact
Feeling
Craving
Clinging
Becoming
Birth
Aging and death
In many Buddhist schools, this process has no discoverable first beginning.
The Buddha often declined to identify a first cause of existence. Instead, the focus was on understanding the causal chain and ending suffering.
This is why many Buddhist traditions describe samsara as beginningless (无始).
A Possible Synthesis
Your four points together suggest a worldview where:
Reality has no absolute beginning or end.
Samsara and nirvana are two aspects of one reality.
Forms arise through dependent origination.
Nothing is permanently created or destroyed.
Emptiness is not a void but the dynamic ground of all phenomena.
This interpretation is closer to Mahayana Buddhist philosophy than to classical Abrahamic creation theology, although different Buddhist schools would express it differently.
The key caution is that while the Heart Sutra, dependent origination, the infinity symbol, and Einstein's conservation laws can be compared, they come from very different intellectual traditions and are not direct proofs of one another. They are analogies that may illuminate similar questions about change, continuity, and the nature of reality.

@Babe:"Nations drawing down oil stocks at record pace: IEA".

This is common sense, when supply is block, soon drawing down of oil reserves become imperative.

When the oil reserves dry up - the countries will go dark.

@Babe:1. Hence developing our own domestic energy supply is imperative - like our Newater, desalination plant.

2. because without electricity, we cannot purified our water, cannot cook food, no internet, no TV, no fan, no aircon, cannot work - human soon cannot live.

However, there are other safer options:-

1. Nuclear fusion - safer

2. SMR

b. thorium based molten salt - safer

c. gas cool nuclear reactor - safest.

This there are few safe options without the need to handle radioactive waste.

[02/06, 7:06 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:c. Gas cool nuclear reactors are the safest because they are concealed in kernel with multi layer cladding - where fission occur within the kernel - produce heat to generate electricity.

@Babe:Gas cool nuclear reactor - no chances of meltdown, hence no chances of chain reaction that trigger radioactive radiation of mammoth proportion.

@Babe:1. The size of uranium pellets,

thorium - is only 20 cents size - but can produce tremendous amount of electricity.

2. Gas cool kernel nuclear fission - golf ball size and can generate decades and decades of electricity without the need to replace.

@Babe:SMR nuclear reactors can easily supply 70% to 90% of Singapore electricity energy needs - and even Hormuz straits continue to be blocked - Singapore will not run out of electricity.

[02/06, 7:23 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:Chances of radioactive radiation or leakage virtually safeguarded due to multi layer cladding.

If the installation is hardened by natural means - deployment is failsafe to the population.

@Babe:For longer term on our energy sources:-

1. Solar panels 2.5%

2. Hydrogen gas (if commercially viable) 10%

3. Geothermal (if commercially viable) 5%

4. Biofuel, palm oil - shipping

5. SAF - airlines

6.. EV vehicles - cars, lorries.

7. Waste incineration 5%

-----

Total = meet approximately 22.5% energy needs.

Only

1. SMR nuclear reactors 70 - 90% - can fully supply Singapore electricity energy needs.

@Babe:Mr LKY remind Singaporeans to be self sufficient.

Energy like water - we need to be self sufficient.

Else we will be hang by our neck with existential threat.

Nuclear Reactors (safe SMR) will give us energy sovereignty and liberate us from existential threat.

====

@Babe:1. One SMR can produce 300MW of electricity.

2. Singapore need about 12GW in total.

3. A modular stack of SMR 4 modules can produce 1.2GW of electricity.

4. Hence we only need 10 SMR modular stacks x 4 - to meet our national electricity needs.

We are pro-ASEAN

 31 May 2026

[31/05, 7:23 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSxWfPEGA/

We are not pro-US or anti-US.

We are not pro-China or anti-China.

We are not pro-ASEAN.

[31/05, 7:51 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:@Babe:1. Our Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing has displayed finesse and mastery in military diplomacy - by safeguarding our National Interest and Security by making ASEAN our centrality and core - while carefully balancing the balance of powers between the 2 Superpowers.

2. Notably the Japanese question is cornering our Defence Minister to take side, but our Minister skillfully divert it away with finesse and mastery.

3. Japan increasing tension with China over Taiwan and being a strong ally with US will naturally want to pull ASEAN into US orbit to fight against China.

4. China being ASEAN largest trading partner naturally want ASEAN to stand by its side.

5. Both US and China have tried divide and conquer methods to break ASEAN unity - but ASEAN is steadfast in not becoming any Blocs vassal states or pawns in both blocs geopolitical tussles - else we will end up like Middle East Gulf States suffering collateral damages if fight break out.

6. Lastly, our Minister Defence cute Chinese poet is meant for China - communication and negotiation are the key to manage distrust and confrontation.

Certainly, the short but concise finesse is a mastery of military diplomacy display to date.

@Babe:@Babe:If we don't handle this carefully, we will see the same scenarios happening in our region in which we witness in Middle East war:-

1. Missiles and drones shooting at the various Gulf States US bases. The whole Middle East in war.

2. Hormuz Straits blockade, no ships and airplanes can pass.

3. Sanctions in trade, investment and business.

4. Sinking of ships, planes, bombing of infrastructure.

Maintaining ASEAN centrality by avoiding being used as vassal states and pawns, advocate communication and negotiation - are the best in avoiding war.

Our Defence Minister indeed has done a good job.

Translate AI experimentation into enterprise wide adoption.

Who say:-

AI data centre replacing jobs?

@Babe:AI data centre don't host business apps? business clouds, business Agentic apps?

1. bank apps?

2. govt apps?

3. f&b apps?

4. manufacturing apps?

5. finance apps?

6. insurance apps?

etc etc....

aren't these creating jobs for every industry sectors?

2. who maintain gov apps, gov agentic AI? - gov staff.

3. who maintain manufacturing apps, manufacturing agentic AI? - manufacturing staff.

4. who maintain f&b apps, f&b agentic AI? - f&b staff.

5. who maintain insurance apps, insurance agentic AI? - insurance staff.

etc etc

All these all high income jobs.

Who say only a few DC staff maintain AI DC only?

@Babe:Besides, each Data Centre will employ specialists and professionals to run - that are high income jobs:-

1. DC Managed Service team

2. DC facilities management team - electrical, HVAC aircon, etc.

3. System engineers.

4. Network engineers.

5. Database professionals.

6. Cloud engineers.

7. AI professionals.

8. Cybersecurity engineers.

9. Telecommunications engineers.

Who say DC produce very little jobs?

Many high income jobs are created.

@Babe:DC also created jobs in many IT support industries eg.

1. DC need to buy servers, GPU etc.

2. Storage, SAN switches.

3. Routers, LAN switches.

4. Cybersecurity devices eg. Firewall, IPS, proxy, VPN, etc.

5. Server virtualisation, cloud.

6. Middleware, apps platform.

7. Telecommunications devices, remote access etc.

8. Database, DBMS etc.

9. AI tools such as LLM, Agentic AI, NLP, python, machine language, frontier AI etc.

Many jobs are created in IT support industries.

Who say AI DC not creating jobs?

They created high value, high income jobs.

@Babe:One DC can create hundreds of high income jobs after construction.

Certainly not the numbers of McDonald staff.

@Babe:The data center (DC) sector currently supports around 25,000 jobs in Singapore. This includes roughly 7,000 direct roles within the data centers and another 18,000 indirect jobs across the supply chain. These jobs are highly productive, paying wages about 35% above the national average.

Source :- Google AI

@Babe:These roles are highly productive and lucrative:

Above-Average Pay: Employees working in data centres earn wages that are approximately 35% higher than the national average.

Strong Projections: The sector is expected to drive a near threefold jump in jobs by 2030, in tandem with rising AI infrastructure demands and digital economy growth. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Recent Hiring Initiatives & Actionable Steps:

If you are looking for roles in this sector, major firms are actively expanding their local workforces. For instance: [1, 2, 3]

Singtel/Nxera: Singtel's regional data centre arm and its partners are training and hiring over 500 people for data centre and digital roles. [1]

Bridge Data Centres: Partnering with local institutions (like ITE) to create roles and training opportunities for students and professionals in engineering and energy systems.

@Babe:1. The published number of DC are public DC built to host public cloud and AI.

2. There are many private DC build by individual big enterprises to support their digitisation which are not published.

3. In total, Singapore’s digital economy supports approximately 214,000 tech jobs across the nation.

====

@Babe:Singapore's digital economy generated S$128.1 billion in 2026.

@Babe:Singapore’s digital economy contributes 18.6% to the nation's GDP. Valued at S$128.1 billion, it means more than S$1 out of every S$6 generated in the economy stems from digital-related activities.

@Babe:Tech and digital economy professions in Singapore consistently rank 1st or 2nd in salary, with resident tech workers earning a median monthly wage of S$7,950. 

This is roughly 1.6 times the national median monthly salary of S$4,860 for all other resident occupations.

====

@Babe:1. AI replacement of jobs is also not accurate in the context of Singapore.

2. Previously, when computerisation and digitalisation is invented, it displace the jobs in which workers still stick to pen and paper, typewriters.

But it created many IT jobs, industry users that uses computers, eCommerce, eTransaction, Internet.

3. Similarly, AI will displace jobs in which workers refuse to train in AI and use AI.

Conversely, AI created jobs for workers that use AI, basically:-

- AI users (in Generative AI, Agentic AI, AGI),

- AI developers of Agentic AI, AI Apps

- AI R&D developers or creators of LLM, Frontier AI etc.

@huat888:Lol. Can use AI to generate so much slop but got zero EQ to understand that nobody reads your paragraphs 😂

@Babe:1. You very ignorance.
You cannot even differentiate which one is written by a human versus one written by AI.
2. If you are not reading, it is baffling why are you responding?

@huat888: (deleted his comments)

====

@Babe:Currently, Singapore is experiencing full employment.

No sign of mass displacement of jobs by AI in the context of Singapore.

====

@Babe:1. Currently there are 6,000 AI professionals - and target to increase to 15,000.

2. Target to train students and workforce 100,000 to be AI savvy by 2029.

====

@Babe:1. AI is in the same situation when computer spreadsheet, words, internet, mobile apps, web transactions are created.

If you don't learn how to use it, but still rely on calculator, typewriter, pen and pencil, queue up in banks to deposit and withdrawal - you will be out of the workforce.

2. There are so many types of Generative AI - ChatGpt, Google Gemini AI, Meta Llama, DeepSeek, Anthropic Claude Mythos Frontier AI, etc - all have free versions though there are business premium version - and no AI business will shut their free versions - because they will lose users.

3. Many students and workers are using Generative AI to generate software codes, do scheduling, generate reports, generate design options etc. that increase workers productivity phenomenally.

4. AI developers are developing Agentic AI apps to improve business processes and harness productivity.

Workers are expected to learn how to use these Agentic AI apps for their work (just like what workers need to use business apps and software through their computers and smartphones to complete their work).

5. It is not a threat, but a genuine needs for workers and students to be AI savvy.

Else workers will be render redundant if more business adopt AI in their business processes.

@Babe:The moment of truth will come - when business only hire AI savvy graduates and will only keep workers trained in AI.

Those not willing to learn AI will be let go.

Your boss make the axe not Government.

====

@Babe:1. If one of my software engineer can produce 10 bug-free software codes in one day with the help of AI.

2. While another software engineer can only produce 1 bug-free software code in one day without using AI (or don't know how to use AI).

3. I will let go of the 2nd software engineer that can produce only 1 software code per day.

4. I will keep that software engineer whose productivity is 10 times higher who are competent in using AI tools.

@Babe:1. This includes:-

a. Line by line checking of AI produced software codes.

b. Generation of test cases.

c. System integration of all AI produce software codes for modular testing.

d. Proof-of-Concept Testing.

e. System integration into live production.

d. QC of every phases.

Would you like me to also suggest a melody structure (chord progression) or a pronunciation guide for the lyrics?

@Babe:AI generated song.

====

@Babe:The artificial intelligence boom directly drives approximately 18.6% of Singapore’s overall economy, contributing $128.1 billion (SGD) to the national GDP. Driven by surging global demand for AI-related electronics, semiconductors, and tech services, the AI sector continues to be a major catalyst for the country's economic resilience. [1, 2, 3]

Breakdown of AI's Economic Impact:

Digital Economy Share: The digital economy represents $128.1 billion (SGD), accounting for 18.6% of Singapore's total GDP. [1]

Manufacturing Surge: Semiconductor and electronics output surged by as much as 44% to directly capitalize on global AI-related demands. [1, 2]

National Economic Forecast: Boosted by AI tailwinds, the Ministry of Trade and Industry expects Singapore’s annual GDP growth to hold steady between 2% and 4%. [1, 2]

Broad Industry Adoption: While the tech sector benefits, over two-thirds of this digital GDP is generated by non-tech industries (such as Finance, Wholesale Trade, and Manufacturing). [1]

@Babe:AI contributed 18.6%, $128.1 billions to Singapore economy.

Cost sunk into AI are investment, not cost.

====

@Babe:Eg. StanChart do the axe on backend office that don't use AI.

DBS do the axe on part time back end office that don't use AI while keeping all the full time staff that uses AI.

The companies and your boss do the axe not the Government.

The Government will only encourage you to learn and train in AI.

If you refused, it is up to you.

Whether business employ you or not - is your moment of truth.

The Government cannot push your head to drink the milk if you refused.

@Babe:In your previous podcast, you ask what is the government doing when StanChart axe non AI workers.

Now in this podcast, you cast aspersions why Government encourage you to learn, train and use AI.

You sounds very contradictory.

====

@A:Doesn’t this seem counterintuitive? People like Elon Musk are already exploring ideas like placing data infrastructure in orbit, where solar energy is abundant and cooling is far more efficient. There are even discussions about future possibilities such as lunar-based systems.
The broader point is that large-scale data centres consume massive amounts of electricity and generate significant heat. Logically, they are better suited for locations with natural cooling and access to cleaner, more abundant energy. Only mediocre minister will created more problems will nuclear to “solves” the problem that shouldn’t involve in the first place.

@Babe:1. Let us analyse putting DC into orbit space or even lunar-based systems as per Elon Musk idea - using solar energy to power the DC - does it make sense?

2. Let us 1st deal with DC in orbit space :-

a. Putting DC in orbit space and rely on solar energy to power the DC - is subjecting the DC to solar flare (as atmospheric protection is no longer there)

Solar flare, space weather have been causing significant satellite malfunctions and permanent damage in orbit.

Solar flare emit intense burst of electromagnetic radiation rendering active system component to malfunction.

Imagine putting Data Centre into orbit - with very environmental sensitive equipment such as servers, routers, LAN switch, cybersecurity devices, storage, softwares, apps, backup devices in orbit?

All these sensitive devices that require a very stable environment to work well - will face intermittent problems and will fail easily.

Those companies that launch satellites and maintain satellites understand such risks - and only radiation-hardened components and shielded electronics for satellite that can withstand high doses fo radiation can be launched. Backup satellites need to be in place as failure rate is relatively high.

Imagine DC with those delicate IT devices in orbit? Must be out of the mind!

b. Imagine putting your sensitive data - bank data, government data, business transaction in the orbit DC - what happen the IT devices crash and cannot be recovered - as solar flares electromagnetic radiation - will erase all the data from the servers and storages.

If don't believe, try running a strong magnet on your harddisk, USB, portable harddisk, backup devices - and see what happen to all your data and software?

c. DC in the orbit - means RF in the air.

What is the implication of this?

Only fibre and physical cable can deliver high volume of data from the cloud, run intensive data training for AI via GPU.

DC in the orbit without fibre, submarine cables or physical cable - can transmit such high volume of data via satellite signals, 5G/4G?

Obviously these people has limited knowledge in IT technology.

@Babe:It will slow to a crawl and will data transmission could even stop - due to data congestion via RF (Radio Frequency).

Moreover RF in the air - means cyber hacker can hack anywhere on Earth - and there is no way for DC operators on Earth to cut off transmission by removing the physical cable - as RF is in the air.

d. What happens if any of the IT devices on the orbit fail? Send astronauts or IT maintenance team to recover, restore or rectify the IT devices in orbit?

I think common sense will tell people - DC in orbit is just a gimmick - and people with some common sense will know it is a fallacy.

Yet some people can still be fool by it - and champion it as something fantastic.

Common Sense?

@Babe:Another thing, no DC in the world are solely powered by solar energy because it is intermittent and unreliable.

It must be supported by more reliable and continuous supply of electricity.

Else a DC can shutdown due to power failure.

====

@ngteckhong2:The govt "suggest" who dare not follow? What do u think?

@Babe:@Babe:Everyone have a choice.

It is up to individual.

Enterprising ones will learn and use AI to be gainfully employed.

Those who refuse to learn AI or use AI, let see whether the boss will employ them or not.

Government just facilitate and coax people to learn and use AI.

If people refuse to learn, then if they cannot secure a job, don't blame the government or business, blame themselves.

====

@ngteckhong2:U didn't hear the word "gatekeeper"

@Babe:Are you referring to the AI gatekeeper - the security and governance layer?

What about it?

@Babe:1. Social media also got "GateKeeper" - that make up of 2 layers :-

a. Social Media Big Tech platform Gatekeeper - that setup content moderation, remove or filter malicious or harmful content - based on self internal moderation based on preset guidelines, Governent directions, Court ruling or legitimate customers' complaints.

b.. Government Gatekeeper - Government general guidelines, legistations on contents that promote violence, social unrest, disharmony

Other than the above contents post in social media, no Big Tech social media platform - will block or "shut the gate" - because Big Tech has invested tremendous amount of money into the platform - no platform have wanted to shut the gate - eg. TikTok, Youtube, Instagram etc. Which platform will shut the revenue from ad, livestreaming and viewers accessing the social media?

@Babe:2. Likewise, AI will also have "AI gatekeepers" - 4 of them.

a. Big Tech AI platform - OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Microsoft etc.

b. Cloud Providers - host GPU, compute, hyperscalers

c. Government Regulators

d. CyberSecurity Managers

a. Like Big Tech social media platform - no Big Tech AI platforms will "close their gates" - as there are so many AI competitors out there who have invested tremendous amount of money in multiple billions of $ - and they will want to attract as many customers to their platforms as possible - be it free or paid business users.

They will only gatekeep - by determining the dataset that they will be train on, what malicious data to filter and what data they allow to access.

Hence users should tap on more than 1 AI models for output - to verify the output against one another to ensure information correctness and accuracy.

b. Cloud providers that host the IT resources that run, train and allow access to the AI platform will need customers to sustain the tremendous IT resources to keep their cloud business going - and no way they will close the gate.

Cloud providers will only gatekeep by throttling heavy uses - to ensure users will have the bandwidth to access their cloud resources..

c. Government Regulators - will want to attract many of their business and workers to tap on AI to make their economy competitive as well as provide guardrail to protect their users from harmful and malicious content.

d. Cybersecurity managers - will gatekeep by ensuring no malicious apps, hacking or attacks that bring disruption to their IT infrastructure and system.

But like the Big Tech Social Media platform - no one in the right mind will "close the gates" and prevent users from accessing the AI - because all these 4 stakeholders have invested heavy stake into the AI and want it to be successful for the AI users.

So I disagree the notion that "Gatekeepers will close the gates" - as and when they like.

====

@Babe:1. DC owners and developers don't come to Singapore and build a DC at a great cost using its fund from shareholders or bank loan.

2. It must have a business case that generate revenue and earn profit.

3. So by concluding that building DC is a project management jobs and there after recruit 20 to 50 people to run the DC - is what DC investment is all about. This conclusion is errorneous.

4. Where is the ROI of the DC owners investment after building a nice DC with roll and rolls of racks with servers and IT equipment?

It can't be a showcase for display?

5. The DC owners must be able to attract business to develop application and software apps to host their IT apps in DC and earn monthly subscription for the hosting in order to reap revenue and fund their investment hoping to attract sufficient business customers to make profit.

6. If more business like banks, government, f&b, live streamers, social media, manufacturing, SMEs, eCommerce etc host their apps in these DCs that support their business operations - thousands of IT jobs are created by these DC investors.

7. Also, some business apps can generate hundreds and thousands of transactions per day - eg. authentication services, banking transactions, online sales etc.

8. So concluding that DC only generate many jobs as project management, building jobs and 20 to 50 DC maintenance and day to day DC operation jobs are errorneous and doesn't address what are DC build for and where are their revenue sources.

9. In fact, every facet of the economy rely on IT, cloud, digital mobile apps, web and AI to propel their business - and DC is the foundation core of all IT business functions.

10. Hence casting aspersion on DC functions without understanding what DCs are for - led viewers draw the wrong conclusion.

11. In fact, many government in the world are competing for DC investment.

Singapore is the DC hub. If not for limited land spaces and large power and water requirements - we have no choice but to push DC investment to Johor.

====

@Babe:1. Another errorneous statement made - "Singapore government is spending billions of dollars to build and subsidzing Data Center in Singapore".

2. This statement is wrong.

3. Singapore is attracting billions of dollars in new investments to expand its artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud-ready data center infrastructure. Despite land constraints, tech giants and operators are committing vast resources to upgrade facilities and build new sustainable campuses. [1, 2]

They are investors - foreign and local, not government.
