While the population had quadrupled from 1830 to 1867, the size of the civil service in Singapore had remained unchanged. Most people had no access to public health services and diseases such as cholera and smallpox caused severe health problems, especially in overcrowded working-class areas. As a result of the administration's ineffectiveness and the predominantly male, transient, and uneducated nature of the population, the society was lawless and chaotic. In 1850 there were only twelve police officers in the city of nearly 60,000 people. Prostitution, gambling, and drug abuse (particularly of opium) were widespread. Chinese criminal secret societies (analogous to modern-day triads) were extremely powerful, and some had tens of thousands of members. Turf wars between rival societies occasionally led to hundreds of deaths and attempts to suppress them had limited success. ... The colonial government embarked on several measures to address the serious social problems facing Singapore. A Chinese Protectorate under Pickering was established in 1877 to address the needs of the Chinese community, especially in controlling the worst abuses of the coolie trade and protecting Chinese women from forced prostitution. In 1889 Governor Sir Cecil Clementi Smith banned secret societies, driving them underground. Nevertheless, many social problems persisted up through the post-war era, including an acute housing shortage and poor health and living standards. ... Singapore, renamed Syonan-to (??*?? Sh?nan-t?, "Bright Southern Island" in Japanese), was occupied by the Japanese from 1942 to 1945. The Japanese army imposed harsh measures against the local population, with troops, especially the Kempeitai or Japanese military police, who were particularly ruthless in dealing with the Chinese population. The most notable atrocity was the Sook Ching massacre of Chinese and Peranakan civilians, undertaken in retaliation against the support of the war effort in China. ... After the Japanese surrender to the Allies on 15 August 1945, Singapore fell into a brief state of violence and disorder; looting and revenge-killing were widespread. ... Much of the infrastructure had been destroyed during the war, including electricity and water supply systems, telephone services, as well as the harbor facilities at the Port of Singapore. There was also a shortage of food, leading to malnutrition, disease, and rampant crime and violence. High food prices, unemployment and workers' discontent culminated in a series of strikes in 1947 causing massive stoppages in public transport and other services. ... Singapore lacked natural resources and faced both a declining entrepôt trade and a growing population that required jobs. ... The external political situation was also tense; Indonesian President Sukarno declared a state of Konfrontasi (Confrontation) against Malaysia and initiated military and other actions against the new nation, including the bombing of MacDonald House in Singapore 10 March 1965 by Indonesian commandos, killing three people. Indonesia also conducted sedition activities to provoke the Malays against the Chinese. The most notorious riots were the 1964 Race Riots that first took place on Prophet Muhammad's birthday on 21 July with twenty-three people killed and hundreds injured, and also, many people by then still hated the rest. During the unrest, the price of food skyrocketed when the transport system was disrupted, causing further hardship for the people. ... After gaining independence abruptly, Singapore faced a future filled with uncertainties. ... Much of the international media was skeptical of prospects for Singapore's survival. Besides the issue of sovereignty, the pressing problems were unemployment, housing, education, and the lack of natural resources and land. ... The lack of good public housing, poor sanitation, and high unemployment led to social problems from crime to health issues. ... > bron: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Singapore Hét grote verschil met "Gaza" is dat de opeenvolgende regeringen in/van Singapore (uiteindelijk) wél begrepen (hebben) wat hun prioriteiten dienden te zijn. |

In welke mate heeft de Hamas moordpartij van 2 weken geleden bijgedragen tot het hebben van huizen, water, eten, medicijnen en ziekenhuizen in Gaza denk je ? Als je dat zo om de paar jaar eens doet, en telkens weet je dat je dan bommen op uw kop gaat krijgen, is dat echt de slimste methode op huizen, water, eten en zo voort te bekomen ? Of is dat het doel niet van de Palestijnen, en is hun doel enkel maar om GEEN huizen, GEEN eten, GEEN water en zo voort te hebben, VEEL doden te hebben en daar dan over te jammeren ? Kijk, de Palestijnen lijden gewoon aan holocaust-envy, meer niet. Zij willen ZOOOO GRAAG de luxe hebben van zich in holocaust sukkelaars onschendbaarheid te wenden, zoals hun buren, om die dan naar de eeuwige jachtvelden kunnen te helpen. |

Het is flauw om dat soort emo-argumenten te gebruiken. Iedereen beseft heel goed dat de Palestijnen zwaar afzien in deze oorlog en periode ervoor. Punt is dat het ons niet kan schelen omdat het niet de 'onzen' zijn en ook nooit zullen zijn.

Greater Israel (Hebrew: ??? ????? ?????; Eretz Yisrael Hashlema) is an expression, with several different biblical and political meanings over time. It is often used, in an irredentist fashion, to refer to the historic or desired borders of Israel. Currently, the most common definition of the land encompassed by the term is the territory of the State of Israel together with the Palestinian territories. Other definitions, favored by Revisionist Zionist, included the territory of the former Emirate of Transjordan and the Sinai Peninsula. |

ik denk dat de rudy in zijn dagelijkse standups wel al genoeg reclame maakt voor de palestijnse sukkelaarkes.

Opmerkelijk dat hier zo veel Adolf Hitler wannabees zijn trouwens. Die precies dezelfde zogenaambde oplossing voorstellen als hij uit probeerde te voeren. Zelfs zonder het humanitaire aspect mee te wegen is genocide al een heel slecht idee voor een klein prutslandje als israel zeker niet. En het kip en ei nonsense gaat hier zeker niet op. .p |
