#115 Sleeping your way to power; men can allow and disallow too.

👔🌊 The rise of the Zhang 张 in Singapore under the guise of Yang 杨 (Josephine Teo, 杨莉明) backed by the former; now fallen top generals Zhang 张 and Liu 刘 of China.

The cost to upkeep a talented young lawyer who entered politics as a counterweight to the Chinese Clans (Shanmugam); backed by the united West post-World War 2 order; now crumbling and shifting to backing new emerging multi-polar powers with strong trading blocs.

What did not make sense in the past decade finally made sense as time stood to tell the truth and affirmed by an agent from the Internal Security Department of Singapore.

❓ Who is Josephine Teo? How did this lady rise to the top of the echelon with the rank of Minister of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) unscathed while half of the cabinet vanished in GE2025? What powers were behind her? What were her methods? Who does she really work for?

And note, most ministers would have been demoted or redeployed given the above. Her husband left his Surbana Jurong role; and instead, she grew to become even more powerful politically. A female praying mantis devouring her male mate for greater power.

Here’s Wikipedia for your reference; what a smooth ascension. Sheer capability, or sheer blessing from someone? The question beckons us, who and why?

The unspoken truth that many knows and yet fear to reveal until the cards start showing themselves. A highly intelligent psychological criminal cannot resist not making their capabilities or smartness known; such a person would prefer their infallible plan to be known once they ascend to power. They would want to go down in history as an intelligent strategist with deceit rather than by sheer luck for their achievement.

Women adore men in power; and men in return make the mistake of making women powerful; letting her stand on his shoulders to see the world. However, to devour your lover for insatiable greed for power is to forget the heart that learnt to love and lean when one is nothing; such is the corruption of the heart where some women feel they earn their kingly status through their own merit; and forgetting who put them there on the pedestal in the first place.

Now that the beans have spilled. Josephine Teo and her spouse 张 Zhang family alongside newly minted Teo Chee Hean 张志贤 (also a 张 Zhang) who helms Temasek Holdings as another Zhang in power holds no ransom no more against former Lee Hsien Loong and the Lee family; and yields no more power over the Chinese Clans who fear an economic collapse should this matter (scandal) break loose. Here’s the soft-landing for Singapore because time is ripe as the fallen generals of Zhang Youxia 张又侠 and Liu Zhenli 刘振立 are now stripped from power not just for corruption but for disloyalty in China and beyond.

The Lee family continues to yield sway despite stepping down from power, while giving the guise of ceding control to the Singapore Zhang 张 Clan.

It is the nature of men to love and dote on someone, especially women who adore them when they are strong and powerful. While societal norms would naturally put the blame on the men for extramarital affairs, how about women who devour their lovers with betrayal and blackmail for her own personal gain cum glory just like a female praying mantis?

I scrolled the Facebook recently and note Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s evening walk with Madam Ho Ching. It’s a lovely post. Some men did much good for Singapore, but an alpha male will err just like any man would. Some men err to trust his subordinates just like any leader would. Greed and power have no boundaries as the last decade has shown after Lee Kuan Yew’s passing in Year 2015. Madam knows the implications, the consequences and maneuvers with tact as always; former PM Lee is a fortunate man indeed. Why did former PM Lee not interfere in the demolition or preservation of Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s former dwelling at Oxley? Someone is holding someone ransom, or should it be, some clans are holding some family ransom?

The Chinese Clans fought amongst themselves as always; K. Shanmugam enforces the security, and the fear of such a matter (scandal) would affect Singapore tremendously. The Zhang 张, Liu 刘, Huang 黄, Lin 林 perpetrators succeeded in selling the fear to the other clans. However, there is always an opportune time to release the truth to cushion the impact. Free press and valuable advice are always around with the descendants of Hu 胡, just like the Haw Par days (also a Hu 胡，or Aw surname in roman spelling).

So, who took out Minister Iswaran, Tan Chuan Jin （Chen 陈) and Ong Beng Seng (Wang 王）? You can arrive at your conclusions. Not a Zhang, Liu and Huang got into trouble, but the rest of the ethnicities and other Chinese family names did. Connect the dots.

No one is innocent in the game of politics and power; some are more innocent than others; some are far more guilty than charged; not by the courts but by the people’s votes because extramarital affairs are as bad as corruption, but never as bad as disloyalty, which is the new term coined by the superpower that the Chinese Clans in Singapore are subservient to.

I personally had an encounter with Josephine Teo, standing 30 metres away just outside Lido theatre approximately 10 years ago. I still remember it vividly; she locked sights with me for a few seconds even as her daughter, or niece presumably who was almost her height walked right next to her to figure who she was looking at. She likes men, young men like French President Macron and our young MP surname Foo loving drama serials together as captured in IG videos. My encounter affirms this, the ISD’s agent words affirm it too.

Meanwhile, K. Shanmugam flew to China to meet with law enforcement officials with family names, Chen 陈 and Wang 王 to get the latest intelligence and round up the folks in Singapore related to the fallen generals, with Zhang 张 and Liu 刘 in focus. Clans play a big part in Singapore’s politics. It was an unwritten truth, but it’s now publicized; in part thanks and no thanks to Josephine Teo, an ambitious lady who stood on two male giants and lay them down once they outlived their usefulness.

Macron, MP Foo, K. Shanmugan, be careful of the Venus’ vicious trap backed by the mentioned clans.

The law always catches up; justice always arrives late because truth takes time to surface, and Singapore always covers up anyway.
