We are expressing our gratefulness and gratitude to US for hosting and offer base and training opportunities for our RSAF pilots.

At the same time, it is also a humanitarian effort to help those in needs.

But critics will say that we are vassal state of US and will partner US if US one day confront China - in wrangling SuperPower geopolitical influences.

Singapore should not stand on US side to confront China nor will we stand on China side to confront US.

We should help to defuse any tension between US and China - and should help to break the ice - by emphasizing cooperation for mutual benefits and not choosing confrontation.

Whether Trump choose to believe it or not, never play around with nature.

By walking out of of Paris Climate agreement, it has the effect of causing Global Warming and hurt humanity on Earth.

This is the karma being reap.........

The only way to prevent nature backlash - is to undertake wholesome effort to protect the Earth Environment.......

Nuclear scientists computed that if 100 nuclear warheads exploded anywhere in the world, be it Nkorea or US, Earth will be covered with nuclear contamination. 

Ozone layer will be destroyed and Sun UV light will penetrate Earth and cause skin cancer to all humans and animals killing all living beings. 

Nuclear contamination enwrap Earth will also cause nuclear winter as Earth temperature drop below -23 degree Celsius. 

No rain will fall through evaporation as Sunlight is cut off by the nuclear fallout covering the Sun. 
All plants and crop die without water as there are no rainfall.

Living things all die without water and food. 

So a nuclear war in NKorea will kill the whole World, the whole Earth, not only NKorea.

This is the vision of One Big Bang, now verify by scientists.

Not sure about the impact on small children - who normally learn the values of savings through keeping coins and notes in the piggybank.

As for older kids and adult, cashless transaction will not erode the values of savings - as there is a need to constantly the balance in the bank to ensure savings are set aside and expenses are made as plan.

Cashless transactions is a mean of transaction - whether using cash or cashless ---- but the virtue of savings come from the inherent values of each individual.

Actually to impart the values of savings to young children using cashless means - can open 2 accounts for the child.
One account is the saving account.
One account is the expenses account.

Everyday, transfer eg. $2 to the child saving account.
Then make the child transfer $1 to the expenses account for meal and keep $1 in the saving account.

This will have impart the values of spend half and save half for the kids - even thought it is cashlesss - not necessary must touch and feel the cash and put it into the piggybank.

Standoff by both Countries are not conducive for Asia Pacific peace.
It will also hurt the RCEP trade initiatives where both are big players of the trade initiative.

Why don't both sides withdraw 10 km away from the disputed land and calm down.

This will have cease the standoff.

Self-styled "godman".......

Godman - means "half god", "half man" - or "half divinity or supramundane", "half mundane".
In other words, godman possess half supramundane consciousness (consciousness not possess by any mundane human) and half human consciousness (known by man and by psychologists and psychiatrists).
In Buddhism, the following are considered "half supramundane", "half mundane human" :-
(1) 1st Jhana Samadhi
(2) 2nd Jhana Samadhi
(3) 3rd Jhana Samadhi
(4) 4th Jhana Samadhi
(5) 5th Arupa Jhana Samadhi
(6) Sotapanna
(7) Sakadagami
(9) Anagami
(10) Arahat
(11) Pacceka Buddha
(12) Bodhisattva
(13) Buddha

To qualify as true "godman" or "half supramundane, half mundane human" ---- it must possess 2 holy objectives :-
(1) Self-Salvation
(2) Salvation of Others
---- and this must come from the Heart, and internalise.

Fame, Power, Self-indulgence, obsessed with sensual desires for self-gratification at the expense of others - will degrade the "godman".
