I beg to differ from Wayang party more likely the M&M is much more nearer to Chiang Kai-shek, 蔣介石. Who fail to completely control China because of his over suspicion of his initial supporters,eg Bai Chongxi one of his strategist who help him in many of his major achievements and many who are coldstored, that could be considered the reason why he failed to regain control of China.And the fear of being outshine by his subordinate.
He also initiated a system where theoretically his lineage will succeed one after another.But somehow the democratic system there manage to kick in after his son rules.
The thing is the Modus operandi is nearly the same except the son could not last as long as his father politically.
>>>Lets just say that a certain person actual goal was initially to rule a larger land mass that fall short and someone with real leadership quality was betrayed.And that person get to be the ruler of an island which is extremely short of his original goal/ambition which in turn lead him to accumulate something else as tribute from the people of the island. Perhaps he had shed a tear too for the loss of control over the greater landmass<<<
One however must take note that Formosa leader/president did not spout nonsense and exaggerate his achievement just before he kick the bucket.However getting him back onto his homeland to be laid to rest was met with resistance from the larger landmass so the actual location of the haka is not disclosed.That also the real reason why the high level visitor from the large landmass are being treated with disdain on Formosa.

Inspir3d,
Brotherhood Press has shut down for good.
Since I last checked. No one seems to be there.
All the writers have gone for good from the Singapore blogosphere.
Only a skeleton and token team seems to be around in the Singapore blogosphere.
The rest have all taken off.
I don’t believe they will be back again.
Pls carry on.

Dear readers,
One major reason why the brotherhood press pulled out from the singapore blogosphere was bc of this:
http://sgblogs.com/entry/archives-singapore-blogs/172778
Lets see who will be in the next 100 list.
I expect to see more pull out’s perhaps in the gaming development and investment sector, if the news roll out is not favorable.
That is the sickening thing about the brotherhood, they never ever forget.
That’s one thing. I have noticed about them.

“Only those produced by individuals who are recognised experts in their respective fields of knowledge, famous personalities or award-winning blogs will be considered” Raju of the National library board said.
If Raju just shut his mouth, we would all still have the brotherhood press today.
It will be producing one read a day, 365 days a year, rain or shine.
The end of the year is coming, let us all try to remain patient and see who will be the next 100.
If it is nothing happens, the crying game will start one more round again.

One man? Yes, one man.
“Mr Raju Buddharaju, 58, the NLB’s director of digital resources and services, explained that one of the criteria for archival is that the selected blogs have to belong to “a representative sample that would reflect a snapshot of society”.
SUGGESTED BLOGGER: Mr Benjamin Lee of popular current affairs and humour site miyagi.sg.
He added that only blogs about Singapore or of interest to Singaporeans would be considered.
They could be produced by individuals who are experts in their fields, well-known personalities, national leaders or celebrities, have won awards, or are owned by organisations and societies. Mr Raju said: “Content from blogs offer views that would otherwise not be available from mainstream media, which are already archived.”
You see if you think real hard abt, if you make a mistake in the age of the $2.2 million - what happens?
Do you just walk away? Does life just go on as usual?
It all hinges on one man.
The end of the year is coming. Every single man in the brotherhood will be coming out to see the new list of the next 100.
Lets see what happens.

my advise is just to ignore them (the brotherhood that is.) Then again judging from how singaporedaddy blew up the matter of TKL, maybe that’s just to give them a false sense of confidence?
As Darkness always said, you cannot win a war without the element of surprise.

insprid is right. No gives two hoots abt raju. The only one who seems to promote him no end is darkness. only one man is capable of stopping the brotherhood press dead on its tracks, its darkness. I’ve seen it before, it was like his vendetta with a deacon in his church. He fought him and the entire church, single handedly for 4 to 5 years. It was relentless and every single trick was pull out and nothing was spared.
Let me tell you what did he accomplish at the end of it? Broken lives. Forget Raju, he is an old man who is so unhinged from reality, no one even cares what he thinks.
As for the 100 you might as well forget it, form what I last heard someone at ministry level has cancelled the whole thing.
They will hope the whole matter disappears quietly into the mud and it would certainly help if you people didnt blow it up further.

Dear all,
Lets all remain patient and calm, I am very sure, we will get some good news.
I am very confident.
On the matter of the church. I agree Darkness was very head strong there. And many in the brotherhood even felt, he went way too far with the whole issue.
He should have just forgiven and take a sweep of the big picture and moved on. Then again, its easy for me to say that, I don’t have to deal with a mega church throwing muck at me. I don’t have to deal with my clients coming to me and saying, I dont want to do business with you any longer because I heard from your deacon you did this and that.
I agree lives were torn and some shredded to pieces. And even those who didnt want to get involved were eventually sucked into the whril wind as they had to take sides.
But as Darkness likes to say, war is just a con’t of politics by other means.
They could not break him. But he paid a terrible price for it.
And the worse part was, it was over such a small misunderstanding.
