Dear Readers,
Pls note the brotherhood press has asked me to state categorically, they do not want to be included into the “recommendation” tagging of articles. And this has been communicated clearly to the webmaster of the Singapore Daily.
You may all draw your assumptions accordingly.
Many thanks

Dear valued readers,
How does the Singapore Daily really come up with a “recommended” tag: read here.

What does the brotherhood and many of our readers think about it?

Dear G, I have set this on auto post mode, so it will kick in everytime you publish the weekly review.
Let us all agree to disagree like gentlemen on this issue.
I believe we have every right to warn our readers your review is not based on any methodology that we can all agree on.
This will go a long way to bring peace and understanding.
Many thanks for being such a gentlemen.

Nobody turns up when and where it matters. That should say something about what they think?
Bunch of goons.

To Singapore Daily, please continue the good work and not be disheartened by the “Brotherhood”. :D
October 12th, 2008 at 2:41 am
Yeah, I do hope that you continue your work without the interference of outsiders; it’s your website, you have the right to publish what you wish to.

Dear Aaron of aims,
You are good to go. You can tell Mr Cheong that he can use everything here and even claim it as theirs, the brotherhood don’t have any objections.
You have my word they will play along (besides they actually told me there is plenty more where that came from, so they aren’t too bothered. Besides the lady of lake has paid for it in full).
There is only one little request, they don’t want the press to pick up and run on this matter up and run on this, they want you to make sure this matter is kept under wraps. Otherwise you will not get 3B. Do you understand Aaron?
My advice is get a few derelict academics to say this is something they have been working on for a book or something. You ppl should be good at wayanging it. That shouldn’t be too hard to do in Singapore, most of them will be only to willing to play along.
If you have trouble finding them, we can make the necessary arrangements. Or backdate it (if you don’t know how to do that, we can help you there as well), but always remember they don’t ever want to be mentioned. Never – are we clear?
Remember this is good to go. I have been told its not experimental, they have simulated it so many times that its as close to operationally perfect as it will ever get.
I’ve managed to persuade Harphoon to relent and after “g’s” explanation here, I don’t think he could have done otherwise, so I have kept my end of the bargain. In return we expect you keep your side of the bargain, remember, this conversation never ever took place, we don’t exist.
I will try to get 3.B (the final part out).
Don’t reply to this, no one talks to ghost.
I told you all, I can sort it all out.

Aaron of aims,
Pls note the brotherhood have informed me whatever they have proposed is only good for one (earth) year.
After that, you need to shift gears and retrofit your tactical and strategic plans further, if you ppl want to remain on top, that is.
They have called this phase 2 / phase 2 cannot be accomplished by just written recommendations alone, it is very complex (I think there is a lot of math) so they will have to walk many of yours planners through the suggested solutions.
According to the ASDF, they need a face to face meeting with govt planners, these people must have strong quantitative backgrounds, they must be proficient in long range planning – there are three areas which they have asked me to convey to you, law, economics and public administration. According to them, these will be critical areas in Phase 2. They don’t want to deal with amateurs.
This should give you enough time to start assembling a team to dock with them till then.
This is just to give you heads up as to how all this has been planned.
Did I mention in phase 2, they (the brotherhood) have terms, but I am sure whatever these terms are, they are very reasonable.
However, I felt you should know, as no one likes surprises.
Till then, I remain yours very faithfully, standby for the 3.B. I shall try to get it out by the end of next week.
