No jab, no job has come to Singapore. The government won’t call it that, of course. They are simply barring the unvaccinated from returning to the workplace, even with a negative pre-event test, starting 15 January. Partially vaccinated workers have until 31 January to complete their vaccination regimen. Employees who cannot work from home risk […]
Walking Alone in the Age of Covid
All my life, I have walked alone. In all things I have forged my own path. As a child, I favoured solitary pursuits over group activities. My tendencies drew me away from the crowds, and towards the meditations of the ancient philosophers, the craft of art, the way of sword and pen in accord. In […]
The Covid State
History remembers pandemics as periods of great human suffering. The Black Death. The Spanish flu. Smallpox. The Covid era will be remembered not merely for the severity of the disease, but the rise of the global Covid state. Big Government wants supreme power over the lives of the people. Big Pharma seeks a captive market. […]
Adapting to Omicron
Omicron is the word on everyone’s minds now. The word ‘Covid’ conjures up memories of lockdowns, mandates, restrictions, a full-court press of fear and flip-flops in the news.

The celebrities, the scientists, the influencers, every public personality say you must get vaccinated. The government says you must get vaccinated or you’ll be banished from public life, and you must incur significant financial costs just to exist. […]
A Parallel Economy for the Pandemic
Among the many Covid restrictions Singapore has passed to date, the unofficial vaccine mandate is the most insidious. In a single stroke, tens of thousands of workers are forced to choose between the jab and the job—as well as students who are about to enter the workforce. The Ministry of Manpower claims that termination for […]
The Damning Silence
In 2011, I cheered when the Workers’ Party won Aljunied Group Representative Constituency. In 2020, I voted against the Workers’ Party. IN 2021, my choice to vote against the WP was vindicated. Singapore has implemented a series of vaccine discrimination measures over the past three weeks. Unvaccinated people are banned from entering malls, save for […]

Singapore Descends Into Medical Tyranny
“To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he’s doing is good, or else that it’s a well-considered act in conformity with natural law. Fortunately, it is in the nature of the human being to seek a justification for his actions. ” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago Designate a public […]
