Proof Of SAR-Cov-2 Engineered At Wuhan Lab And Singapore May Be Involved

The Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore web site has an interesting article.The first two paragraphs read :

[ It was by pure chance that bat expert Wang Linfa found himself in the Chinese city of Wuhan in January 2020. Wang was attending the annual scientific retreat at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), where he once served as chairman of the scientific advisory board. While the first reports of a SARS-like virus outbreak in Wuhan were making headlines around the world, the virus still felt like a distant threat, even to people in Wuhan. No one had any inkling to what degree this new virus was going to penetrate the population and how it was going to change the world.

"My friends from WIV and I went for dinner to a local restaurant three nights in a row. We discussed this new virus. But my discussion was limited to the Wuhan institute as I didn’t have access to the hospitals to study the situation more closely,” recalled Wang, who is a professor with Duke-NUS’ Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) Programme, about his time in Wuhan.]

....COVID-19 pandemic puzzle: tracing the origins of SARS-CoV-2... Duke-NUS. (Read here before they take it down)

The origin of SAR-Cov-2 revolves around 4 prominent personalities :

* Dr Anthony Fauci - Director of NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) and the Chief Medical Advisor to the US President. He is the pandemic czar.

* Dr Peter Daszak - President of EcoHealth Alliance, an NGO that supports various programs on global health and pandemic prevention.

* Dr Ralph Baric - Professor in the Dept of Epidemiology, Microbiology and Immunology, University of North Carolina (UNC), Maryland, US.  It seems Baric is the pre-emminent leader in the field of coronavirus research. From interviews, his research publication and his patents, apparently he is the first scientist to find a way to synthesise coronavirus. He actually boasted in an interview that it is very easy to create such a virus. Baric does research at the UNC lab as well as his own lab.

* Dr Shi Zhengli - Director of Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases, Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). She is a Chinese virologist who does extensive research on SARS-like coronaviruses of bat origin.

In the scheme of things, Fauci is the funder, Daszak the organiser, Baric the brains, and Shi the executioner.

Gain of function (GoF) is fiddling around with viruses to make it more dangerous. The objective is to predict how a virus may evolve so that vaccines can be created to preempt a future pandemic. In other words, create future viruses and prepare vaccines now. GoF sometimes involve mixing parts of different viruses or similar virus class from different animals, a sort of a Frankenstein virus. This is called a chimeric virus. Baric has the breakthrough technology to do this with the coronavirus and he holds certain patents.

Due to the risks involved, Obama imposed a moratarium on funding GoF research in 2014. The National Institute of Health revoked the moratorium in 2017 except for certain viruses such as MERs. In 2019 Trump re-instated the ban on funding GoF research. Daszak and Baric took the research to WIV where they worked with Shi on the bats in Yunnan caves.

Fauci has sworn under oath in Senate inquiry that NIAID does not fund the WIV research, the research does not involve GoF, that SAR-Cov-2 is zoonotic (by natural animal to human transmission), and there was no WIV lab leak. For months he stuck to this narrative.

From documents obtained through Freedom of Information suits, the conspiracy lab leak theory is now no longer in doubt. The protagonists have outright lied, falsified medical reports and misguided the WHO investigation of WIV. Fauci's NIAID provided grant funds to Ecohealth which Daszak used to fund WIV. Daszak led 18 scientists to publish a scientific report to say the SAR-Cov-2 has all the evidence of natural evolution, ie a zoonotic virus. It was a timely report for Fauci to wave the science in the Senate inquiry that the lab leak theory is false and there was no GoF. Several months later, 8 of the scientists retracted their signatures. A couple of months back, a second Lancet Report has been published by other scientists which now says the SAR-Cov-2 has signs that point to GoF. Dr Baric led the WHO investigation in Wuhan and came back with a clean report on WIV. No GoF research there, no lab leak.

A couple of days ago, a bombshell report was carried by The Telegraph UK, Zero Hedge, and Inforwars. Their source report is from the Drastic Research website. Drastic must be considered by the Leftist media as authentic for they have referenced some articles from the site before. For this bombshell story, mainstream media totally ignored it. 

Drastic stands for Decentralised Radical Autonomous Search Teams Investigating Covid-19. It is an independent team of scientists, analysts, sleuths, specialists in engineering, mathematics, biology, open source intelligence and data, who came together to investigate the origins of SAR-Cov2.

In the spring of 2018, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), an agency of Pentagon, opened invitation under ref HR001118S0017-PREEMPT-FP-019 for grant proposal. Daszak's Ecohealth submitted a proposal called PROJECT DEFUSE - Defusing the Threat of Bat-borne Coronaviruses, asking for US$14m funding.

Now here's shocker # 1:

Basically, Daszak's team wanted to do -

1. A wide scale inoculation of bats in the Yunnan caves using aerosolized inoculum delivery. In simple terms, they want to spray the air with skin-penetrating nanoparticles containing “novel chimeric spike proteins" which will infect the bats.

Aerosol delivery system has such horrible potential risks that it has never been publicly released or opened to the wider scientific community for discussion. It is a NO NO. This is a specialist area of research of Dr Rocke, Dr. Ainslie and Dr. Unidad (PARC) who have previously researched and developed the technological solutions necessary to make this possible. It remains on paper, never been applied.

2. Create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily.

Project Defuse set out the background on the collaboration of Daszak-Baric-Shi in coronavirus research at WIV and what they intend to do with the requested funding.

Drastic Research's analysis of Project Defuse indicated that Daszak lied on several issues and tried to bypass restrictions imposed by P3CO (GoF) and DURC (Dual Use Research of Concern) frameworks. 'Dual use' refers to civil and military applications.

DARPA assessed the application as an attempt to "synthesize spike glycoproteins which bind to human cell receptors and insert them into SARSr-CoV backbones to assess whether they can cause SARS-like disease." The application was rejected on various grounds which included lack of GoF and DURC mitigation plans, and it "hardly addresses or discusses ethical, legal, and social issues". In other words, DARPA considered it a dangerous project.

Here's shocker #2:

Experimental work using bats and or transgenic mice will be conducted at the BSL-3 lab in WIV, Duke-NUS, Uni North Carolina, or National Wildlife Health Center, US. Each partner institute will apply for and procure animal with research approval from their own IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee). The IACUC office for Duke-NUS is at NUS.

Ecohealth will send samples to Duke-NUS and UNC. “Samples will be preserved in viral transport medium, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen dry shippers, and transported to partner laboratories with a maintained cold chain and under strict biosafety protocols.”

As for Duke-NUS, Project Defuse mentioned :

Duke-NUS (Linfa Wang) has an Asian cave bat (Eonycteris spelaea) breeding colony:

“Our E. spelaea colony has now reached a sustainable population for infection experiments and the ABSL3 facility has been outfitted with bat-specific cages.”

“We will use the unique Duke-NUS Asian cave bat (Eonycteris spelaea) breeding colony to conduct initial proof-of-concept tests, extended to small groups of wild-caught Rhinolophus sinicus bats at WIV.”

“Subtask 7.4.Test immune modulation in ‘captive Eonycteris sp. colony, using Malaka virus and SARSr-CoV infections.

Conclusion:

Everything detailed in Project Defuse can best explain what work was conducted in WIV, that is synthesising a coronavirus. The questions are was it a lab leak accident, or an intentional release of the virus, and did they execute on the aerosol dispersion delivery. Note that was 2018. Pentagon already knew what Daszak's team intended to do and possibly doing. Yet the Intelligence Committee ordered by Joe Biden to investigate the lab leak theory, with access to military intel, concluded a lab-created virus was unlikely. Politics and money got in the way.

Singapore absolutely needs Wang and NUS to provide clarity. Did they collaborate with Daszak's team on the research? If they did, what was the nature of the research actually conducted in Duke-NUS lab? Why they were not concerned with the ethical, legal and social issues that DARPA highlighted? Was any synthesised SAR-Cov-2 brought into Singapore before the pandemic broke? Is MOE and MOH aware of this collaboration? Does Singapore have similar GoF and DURC frameworks in place to manage dangerous research work?

As for Pro Wang Linfa who said he found himself at Wuhan by pure chance when the virus outbreak began, pure chance my foot.

IS THE GOVERNMENT ALWAYS ON TOP OF EVENTS AND NEVER BLINDSIDED?




In 2018 ACRA refused the registration of OSEA Pte Ltd by Thum Ping Tjin and Kirsten Han. OSEA’s mission was to provide editorial services to New Narratif and organise fora, workshops and other events. New Narratif is an online news outfit based in Kuala Lumpur where Thum is managing director and Kirsten is editor-in-chief. ACRA’s justification was OSEA and NN have political agendas. NN is funded by foreign entities and foreign subscribers. More specifically, NN receives grants from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation. Soros is the most evil man on planet Earth who enjoys creating chaos all over the world under the guise of philanthropy, and then swooping in to extract his pound of flesh. Ukraine is the hottest spot in the world today that is on the brink of nuclear war, and Soros’ OSF has it’s dirty finger prints all over the place.

Thum and Kirsten can play coy and innocent, but the duo ain’t Kenneth Jeyaratnam, Leong Mun Wai, Goh Meng Seng, Chris Kwan, Sudhir Vadaketh, Teo Soh Lung, Lim Tean,  and many others, this blogger included, who criticise and question the government where we dim fit. We are voices of the citizenry who meant well for the country we love. OSEA has bigger objectives for South East Asia. It was to be registered as a fully owned company of Observatory Southeast Asia UK. NN KL is fully owed by NN UK. Thum is on the board of both UK entities. Ownership of these UK companies are unknown. It is quite clear there are dark motives planned for OSEA.

Am I unforgivably harsh on Thum and Kirsten? Head down to newnarrative.com and what do we see – a dive into current hot societal changing topics that have done irreparable cultural damages to US and other western countries, namely transgenderism, ‘my body my life’ under the guise of re-productive health, binary non-binary nonsense. All right out off Sorros’ OSF playbook, how sweet. Rome didn’ t fall in one day. It will take thousands of newnarratifs to plant the seeds and generations to poison minds in our part of the world to plunge into the woke insanity of the West.

My point on OSEA incident is simply this. I applaud ACRA’s pre-emptive strike against OSEA. However, while Singapore government is well-informed and acts fast and tough, it does so only when one strays into it’s turf. In OSEA’s case, control over media and information dissemination. Yet in other areas which presents national risks, it has often offered concessions andperhaps late on the learning curve. A few examples will illustrate this.
Read my old blog on Nugan Hand
Nugan Hand Bank is a mystery. Surely MAS knew this was a CIA bank deeply involved in drug trafficking and money-laundering. Yet it was granted a banking licence.

Surely the government is aware WHO is a captured international institution. Philanthropy capitalism may be a recent economic term, but it has manifested itself far and wide in the last decade. Yet Singapore is so eager to cooperate and sign over our sovereignty with the new Pandemic Treaty. Minister Josephine Teo recently took a huge entourage to EU to take part in a workshop on how to control the citizenry in the next pandemic they know is coming.

Smart city is a term I am wary and sick of hearing. To show off our one-up progressiveness, we die die must be at the forefront of technology or what ever new market developments. So we jump start 5G gadgetry with absolutely zero study nor concern of dangerous health issues from radiation. Let’s not put impediments in the path of huge corporations waiting to cash in on IOT (internet of things). 5G radiation and graphene nanoparticles of the mRNA vaccines in our bodies might well be a perfect storm coming. No one is safe. Even if you are proudly un- vaccinated, you are likely to have the graphenes through shedding.
Read three years ago I blogged the retail electricity system is not sustainable.
We divested power generation plants to foreign entities on an ego-driven trip to build the first open market electricity system in Asean which has failed. I blogged some time back on why the retail electricity model is not sustainable and will collapse under certain circumstances. That has already come to pass.
Read three years ago I blogged why Singapore MRT model is inferior to HK MRT 
The Singapore MRT model condemns riders to perpetual cost-driven ticket price increases. This is because SMRT has only farebox revenue and lacks other sources of income to subsidise cost. And the reason is 'land value capture' in Singapore accrues to a renter class. Whereas HK MTR reaps the benefit of higher values of land around the station to provide a source of funds to socialise costs.

In January this year, Minister Josephine Teo cut the ribbon for SICPA’s new regional HQ in Asia. SICPA is the world leader in secure track and trace solutions for governments. It owns the patent for a special colour-shifting ink used in printing currency notes that prevents counterfeiting. It is also used to print excise duty stamps. Whilst we are so eager for technology plays, never mind it is just a HQ, I wonder if Teo is aware this low-key secretive Swiss company with world wide businesses has been consistently complained to buying their way into the market, often by corrupting politically connected persons as ‘local consultant. Example in Philippines during the Arroyo admin, they used the nephew of First Gentleman Mike Arroyo. They were under investigation in 14 countries. Cozy Davos connection can do wonders. 14 countries dwindled down to 3. Investigations took almost 10 years and finally last month, Swiss authorities found them US$91m for bribery in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. Singapore likes to boast use of latest technology. Let’s see if we will use SICPA tax stamps. Kenya claimed SICPA tax stamps bumped up the prices of a range of consumer products.

Singapore likes to suck up to latest technology to be top of the class. What else can best explain the blind faith in an untested novel vaccine. Why do the best brains in the world rush to inject trade secret ingredients into our bodies, more or less by coercion, for a relatively low threat infection? When the world by now has realised the pandemic scam, the ineffectiveness of the vaccines, the irreparable harm to humanity of the mRNA spike proteins in our bodies, Singapore remains fixated on pushing for boosters and getting kidos to take the jabs.
Read almost two years ago I blogged about Duke-NUS collaboration in the Wuhan Covid research project
Victoria Nuland, US diplomat or under-secretary of one department or another, an evil American who has her hands dirtied in many corners of the world, had admitted to having 26 biolabs in Ukraine. The DOD (US Department of Defence) later upped the numbers to 46. Why am I talking about all this? It’s the irreverent question – does Singapore cooperate with the DOD in any medical research projects? One wonders in the first place what is ‘defence’ doing in biological research. I blogged previously that Duke-NUS had a role in the Wuhan-Fauci gain of function project on a DARPA grant. A local institution sponsored by a grant from a foreign DOD to engage in biological research work, and our authorities know nothing? Neither believable nor forgivable.

Why am I bitching about this? You see, by law, Americans cannot conduct a lot of dangerous biological research work in US. So the delinquent and lawless DOD outsourced to foreign lands. This is a big problem that has crept closer to home. There are several US military biological research labs in Indonesia and Philippines. US has conducted certain biological research work which irked our 2 Asean neighbours. With our prowess in science and technology, our coziness with US, and most importantly, our interest in life sciences, both as economy drivers and investment targets, easily makes a US-Singapore partnership a no-brainer. I am wondering if we are actively collaborating in any dangerous research.

For a list of US labs in low resource countries, click here. Of course they declare all those non-military research work carried out. It’s the dual function research that they do not declare which matters.

SOVEREIGNTY OF SINGAPORE PART 2 - SECURE FRONT GATE, OPEN BACKDOOR


把老虎挡在前门,狼却从后门进来。
(While keeping a tiger from the front door, the wolf comes in at the back)

In Part 1 I wrote about the dangers of pacifism. Implied is my acceptance of budget spendings on top notch military hardware such as F-35's and submarines. An army constrained by manpower must of necessity build its capacity on the best array of military hardware that it can afford. I leave it to the small group of Singaporeans tasked with the macro and micro managing of the nation's security to employ our scarce resources optimally. In a few short years the government has achieved more that what it initially set out to do. A citizen's army is in place and the country has land, sea and air defence capabilities with enhanced tenacity from superb military hardware. All these done with constraints no other military in the world has to grapple with - the lack of space for training in all 3 spheres of land, sea and air. It requires the galvanising of diplomacy to obtain training facilities in far away friendly nations and massive logistical support capabilities. It is not an easy task. The creme de la creme is Singapore acquired technical capabilities to manufacture our own munitions, overhaul or modify weapons, even to build naval vessels.

A side track. I remember Singapore's first attempt to build a naval vessel so many years ago. A friend of mine went out with that first vessel on several sea trials. He described the instability when it picked up speed and listed slightly. By now, Singapore has advanced far right of the learning curve. 

Overall, Singapore has done well. The country's front gate is adequately secure.

Do not misinterpret my opener as out-of-character condescension to authority. Nothing is perfect. There will be leakages, human errors, policy misalignments etc. I take pride in doing my share of sacrifice of 3 years fulltime combat role in the army and 2 rounds of reservist training. Now I consider it a civic responsibility to remain engaged and speak out without fear or favour on perceived shortcomings, not to inveigh on the authorities but offer feedback from the ground and initiate useful discussions.

While the front gate is well secured, the backdoor is open to infiltration that threatens our sovereignty. Have we let in any wolves by the back door? Perchance we may have. Backdoor infiltration are of the covert type that is difficult to detect, full of deceit to ulterior motives, involves players with skin in the game planning chess moves over decades. Let me narrate the possibilities.

Klaus Schwab wants to be the emperor of the new world order. The NWO agenda is no longer a conspiracy theory. It is out in the open now although opinions differ as to who are the people behind it. My personal thinking is it is some old families with long traditions operating out of the City of London. Klaus Schwab is the public figure. Using his World Economic Forum platform, Schwab has galvanised filthy rich elites from big pharma, big tech, media, celebrities, transnational institutions and public officials to their plans for a new world of utopia for elites and dystopia for the masses.

Whether you are a believer or not, for our purpose here, let's just assume it is true. We should then ask the question. Are there any amongst us who insidiously work in furtherance of Schwab's agenda, whether with full knowledge of their ulterior objectives, or unknowingly carrying out instructions because WEF public initiatives seem enticing, what with saving the world from climate change, smart cities, smart people, etc. It is a fact the government supports many initiatives of WEF. I think our government sees consonance in our need for international open trade with the globalist agenda of WEF. The government of Singapore faithfully follows every WEF meeting, sending big contingents to Davos now and then, was very disappointed for the cancellation of the WEF meet in Singapore due to Covid.

The government was right to ban people like Zakir Naik, Ron Fuyushima and the 4 Roman Catholic priests (see my blog). I think Yuval Noah Harari should be added to the list. Harari, to whom technology is the new religion, is emblematic of WEF. On the surface, a provocative historian with interesting projections of the human species, but in reality, a Schwab inner circle propagating and normalising a 'brave New World' of biologically and cyborg-engineered part-inorganic homo sapiens in a dystopian future plugged into some central control AI gadgetry that makes them enjoy everlasting pleasure in a distorted reality. Schwab's infamous quote " You will own nothing but be happy".

Schwab has boasted publicly in an interview of WEF having infiltrated many governments, and in the recent Jakarta summit he basically said he wants to be the emperor of the NWO. Kings and queens, presidents and prime ministers, titans of industries, are on board his ship. Do you really think Singapore is immune? Has Singapore been infiltrated?

The World Health Organisation  used to be a respected transnational body. No more. It has been captured by philanthropy capitalism.  Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director General, presides under a disquiet of the heavy influence of Bill Gates, an un-elected non-medical billionaire who can speak over the heads of the medical profession on matters of vaccine, treatment and handling of pandemic outbreaks. 

In the Covid pandemic, WHO seemed to bow to the dictates of the same narrative coming from EU and US. Singapore followed suit with quite similar practices and non-transparency in data dissemination. There was a lack of independent thinking, whether due to a beholden condescension to the West, or duty bound by some regulation. 

WHO, espousing same sentiments as Bill gates, want a single global approach to handling the next pandemic and sought to get this wrapped up in a new pandemic treaty. A treaty is a country contract. By international law, if WHO and Bill Gates have their way, all signatory countries will surrender sovereignty to them in the next pandemic. Several countries are enthusiastic about this, including Singapore which took part in the last WHO meeting to wrap up the draft treaty. Why does Singapore always want to be at the front of the class in all these international initiatives, but never seek townhall meeting with constituents to explain and seek input.   

Climate change is one of those front page issues the WEF wants to lead. A lot of the sciences aren't really settled, and a lot of new data from satellite observations contradict some narratives pushed down on us. Whilst I'm all for doing what we can, either individually or as a country, help not damage the environment, why should we believe a bunch of elites who come to meetings in their fossil fuel burning private jets, dictate what we should do? I'm all for getting rid of fossil fuel, but let's first work on the substitutes. Once again, Singapore wants to be the goody goody kid sitting at the front row in class who shoot his hand up to volunteer all the time. We want to be first in class. And whilst we work feverishly to achieve carbon zero and kill Singaporeans with punitive carbon tax, our carbon footprint is so tiny that it has basically zero impact in the world. Meanwhile, the 2 countries with the highest carbon footprint are coal pushers, the carbon levels in the atmosphere hasn't changed much, and coral beds all over the world are reviving.

It's a good thing that, unlike pandemic treaty, Paris Accord is voluntary. Yet we are eager beavers to extract citizen economic sacrifice as if in abeyance to an unseen sovereign.

Philiantrophy activism  in my opinion, is one of the most dangerous form of modern day infiltration to incubate sleeper cells of individuals who may not even realise they are being turned or manipulated for certain ends.  The vast wealth accumulated by some elites have turned them into powerful beings who realise they can enjoy tax benefits from philanthropy and at the same time, get to play sovereign on issues or politics of their choice. The most infamous of these players is of course George Soros. There are many others, such as Pierre Omidyar, Bill Gates. Soros has his Open Society and probably a hundred other NGOs camouflaged in names with the word 'Democrat' as pre-fix. Soros is a monster for chaos, from which he can extract unimaginable profit. A Jew who partnered Hitler in the slaughter of fellow Jews, because in his own words, if he doesn't do it, others will, might as well he benefits. Open Society was very much engaged in the demonstration that resulted in a regime change that brought  US-backed Petro Poroshenko to power in Ukraine. In Singapore, Open Society backed the proposed media New Narratif which the vigilant ACRA refused to approve. Not too long ago, AWARE president made some comments that seemed like canned woke talking points of the liberal left in the US. Was it it just accidental or is there something going on. We hope our public agencies are vigilant to many of these activist billionaires.  

Fauci and the vaccine cabal. It is a known fact Fauci and big pharma have been caught buying over medical professionals to control the vaccine narrative. By now, Western government narrative of vaccine is falling apart with whistle blowers, new data, excess death information, documents and revelation coming out of several important court cases. Yet Singapore is still sticking to the same old narrative. Is there a reason for this? Does Singapore have any covert role in this Fauci shenanigan. I suggested a relook at NUS-Duke University participation in my 25 Sep 2021 blog. The latest todate is Senator Kennedy revealing that Fauci is the one that executes the bioweapon programme of DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). Was NUS-Duke an unwitting participant?

Nugan Hand Bank which I blogged on 26 Nov 2022 is an obvious example of servile accomodation to US international intrigue. To deny otherwise is to believe in MAS malfeasance in approving a licence to an entity that had hardly any footprints in banking. Another incident which I heard a long time ago details of which I cannot publicise, involved the transportation of some captured Russian military hardware. Singapore provided the assistance of transportation to avoid detection. I have to say it was just hearsay. 

International Standards Organisation. I include this here to show how a wolf can easily get into the backdoor. ISO is an international body and Singapore is a member. Whatever ISO sets, we comply. Not too long ago, President Biden issued an Executive Order that demanded Amex and Mastercard include a special code for gun purchases. This was what media said. It will allow the Deep State to have tracking ability of gun sales which intrudes their Second Amendment rights. Both Amex and Mastercard complied but a week ago, for reasons unknown, they flipped. The truth of the matter is Biden issued no such orders to the credit card companies. It was ISO that Biden compelled to set a new code for the credit cards to follow. In other words, ISO an international organisation, took instructions from Biden. How can this be tolerated by members? Of course this code is irrelevant to Singapore but this incident illustrates how easy it is for the wolf to get in by the back door.

Monetary sovereignty. MAS is working on 2 CBDC (central bank digital currency) projects Ubin+ and Project Dunbar. These are for wholesale international settlements. The MAS has completed a study on retail CBDC and concluded it is not economically viable for the moment.

There is a real fear that western governments are preparing retail CBDC that will be a dystopian system of control. CBDC will lead to a social credit score. Every single individual's monetary transactions will be captured in a gigantic database and access to the system is a simple means for political control. Step out of line and your card will be denied access and you have no means of making any purchase. 

Is the current banking crisis an engineered one. Will they collapse all the regional banks and then roll out the CBDC? Personally I doubt so, for the simple reason CBDC is not ready any time soon. Nevertheless, people the world over ought to be vigilant over this development. If there is one weapon the dictators can exert absolute control over everyone, this is it.

Will MAS maintain its sovereignty or play second fiddle and eventually participate in a dystopian one world CBDC? That would be the biggest wolf of all.

Conclusion:

The government watches the front gate for the tigers. Singaporeans should watch the backdoor for the wolves. We can only do so with the courage to speak out, to question and to seek clarity.
