Why Singapore?

1. Tax haven for Eduardo Saverin-like fugitives and gambling hub for syndicates.
2. Housing for hard-to-please Asian mistresses or mainland Chinese concubines.
3. Housing for illegitimate children and adopted godchildren or grandchildren.
4. Second residence in case of rioting against minority Chinese in home country.
5. Safety and security because public protests or strikes and guns are banned.
6. Wayward son or daughter attending international school or local polytechnic.
7. Filthy rich Japanese and Arabs seeking kinky sex escorts at five-star hotels.

Singapore is more than a mere tourist destination of choice. Ever wondered the unspoken “why Singapore?” for businessmen and long-term foreign residents?

X and Why

When gender remains a sensitive issue in many so-called liberal developed countries, even as religious leaders and politically correct politicians preach about an all-inclusive society, where there should be zero discrimination against those with different sexual orientations.

Should arguments for X and why, or against it, be used to decide whether transgender people born with a mutated gene make-up be allowed to use both male and female public toilets?

Why an X

When it is more effective to use a general letter x rather than a concrete numeral to represent a number, whose value constantly varies—an economic way to convey the idea of a variable in an equation or a mathematical sentence.

Why an X, and not an A, B, or C is because the letters x, y, and z have traditionally been used to stand for unknowns, while the letters a, b, and c for constants.

PhD

Three letters academically inclined folks long to insert after their names, as they are set to spend tens of thousands of dollars and slog through thousands of man-hours to earn it—they couldn’t care less whether their dissertations have near-zero value or impact on the outside world or not.

In an age when you can virtually order your fake PhD of any prestigious university for a few hundred bucks in a matter of days, who says that a doctorate degree is meant only for geeks or nerds?

Salvation sans Jesus

When someone confesses that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior and that God raised Him from the dead is the first step to avoid spending their afterlife on earth in hell—whose sins are forgiven through the cleansing blood of Jesus on the cross.

It’s politically incorrect to lovingly share the “Good News” to nonbelievers that there’s no other way to heaven except through Jesus—the ”Salvation sans Jesus” message that religious leaders from other faiths find insensitive or offensive, but nevertheless true, if they unbiasedly study the Bible.

Twitter god

When God allowed Lucifer to let Donald Trump use Twitter to racially electrify his mostly white blue-collar supporters to vote against “crooked” Hillary Clinton, although millions of “illegal votes” were cast against him.

Without the Twitter god, President Trump is “politically impotent,” and if the dishonest press gang together to offer him scant coverage, he’s socially bankrupt—when political alienation or isolation could be worse than a presidential impeachment.

Salvation Rate

The number of lost souls that could be saved per evangelistic meeting—to rescue both atheists and those who were previously under Satan’s rule from hell, prior to their embracing the Christian faith.

With the salvation of Singapore in mind, some mathematically inclined theologians are itching to divine what the salvation rate for next year’s “Celebration of Hope” event would be.
