Nur Gedanken

Students from Singapore have shown amazing enthusiasm in amateur pornography last days, flooding the net with search requests for the Tammy NYP and Bukit Batok Videos. It seems that they are not so much aware of the parliamentary elections coming closer this year. On the other hand one could ask, why they should. The winner is already known. It will be the People’s Action Party that rules the country, since it was expelled from the Malaysia-Sabah-Sarawak federation in 1965.

The party’s track record on election fraud is huge: reshaping constituency boundaries when polls show good support for the opposition; sueing of opposition leaders until they run out of money to finance their campaign; scheduling election dates in the monsoon season; locating opposition rallies to remote and inaccessible spots…

The list of nasty tricks is long. Singabloodypore has assembled an excellent record of them. But people should not give up their hopes too early. This year, the situation is different. Opposition parties, which until now never held more than two seats in the 84 seat parliament, plan to attain 57 seats this year. Official sources give a more realistic figure with about 30 to 40 seats. Thus, this time not even Lee Kuan Yew, the great old man of Singapore, would be able to give a valid explanation for the discrepancies between polls and results, should the opposition not reach at least 20 seats.

It’s time for a change and the following sites provide a good orientation for Singaporeans whom to elect this year:

Für diejenigen, die sich immer noch fragen, was Bukit Batok überhaupt heisst, bzw. wo das überhaupt liegt, hat Random Citations die ultimative Antwort:

Bukit Batok New Town ist eine vom singapurianischen Housing Development Board errichtete Wohngegend im Westen Singapurs, hinter der ein künstlich angelegter Naturpark liegt. Und die Etymologie des Namens ist um einiges interessanter, als der Grund, warum Bukit Batok bei Technorati heute ganz oben angesiedelt ist.

Bukit heißt auf Bahasa Malay "hügelig" und für Batok gibt es eine ganze Reihe möglicher und auch plausibler Herleitungen. Die Menschen, die dort wohnen, wissen es nämlich selbst nicht so genau. Angeblich standen auf den Hügeln früher Kokosnußbäume und die heißen auf Java "Batok". Einer anderen Erklärung zufolge besteht die Schicht unter den Hügeln aus hartem Granit. Demnach wäre "Batok" eine Verbalhornung von "Batu", dem malayischen Wort für Stein. Wieder andere finden es auf den Hügeln ziemlich zugig und schreiben den Namen des Ortes daher dem malayischen Wort "Batok", auf deutsch "Husten" zu. Die schönste Erklärung ist aber, dass es mal wieder die Briten waren, denen die Hügel ihren Namen verdanken. Für die ähnelten die Hügel nämlich zwei prallen Pobacken, auf englisch "buttock". Die Singapuris haben das Wort dann einfach zu "Batok" sozusagen versinglischt.

Man kann also sogar durch sexbegeisterte Singapuris noch etwas lernen. Ach ja, das bringt mich zu dem Grund, warum die Wohngegend bei Technorati ganz oben steht. Angeblich hat man ein Pärchen im Bukit Batok New Village heimlich gefilmt, als es Sex zwischen den Ziersträuchern der terassenartig angelegten Aufgänge zu den Wohnanlagen hatte.

So it’s day one after I got dragged in Singapore’s very own "Tammy NYP" and "Bukit Batok Video" hype. It outrightly knocked me of my feet to hear that 13% of all Singaporeans are said to have sex in front of a camera. After all, when I was living there three years ago, Singaporeans were still conservative as hell and the girls still seemed virgin and callow. Once, in the NUS-bus from PGP to FAS, I sat opposite to a Chinese girl and thought: "damn, she`s pretty". She smiled at me and in the next moment started to snuffle a huge snot rag up her nostrils. Man, I can tell you that’s not the right way to hit on a guy! The only sexual explicit experience I ever had in Singapore was when we went out to the Boom Boom Room with a whole bunch of people. It was one of the best cabarets ever. Yet, as you know, those guys there are gay.

And now everything has changed? "I’m not convinced", my former secretary of state would say. After it became night in Singapore, it also became night on my blog. Nobody is interested in that stuff besides Singaporeans and me. But I’m a rare exception, as I’m only on it, because I happen to love this little town. Get over it guys. If it’s really true that 13% percent of you is doing it in front of a camera, why then do you have such a desperate desire for two wicked low resolution videos? Do it at home and shut down the bloody AC. Better for your cold, your ears… and your sexlife!

please get back to work, la! It’s incredible that you still hang on to this Tammy NYP thing. When I woke up this morning and switched on my laptop, I saw that you were desperately searching for a "Bukit Batok" video, so I wrote some short lines. And what can I say, within hours my counter hit unknown heights. But not because of the search term "bukit batok", but because I wrote the magic five letter word "tammy". So I took a look at the logs and nearly all IPs were located in Singapore. Ain’t that funny? You got this wonderful weather, it’s nearly four in the afternoon and you’re sitting in your freezing cold labs searching for a video of which you know it’s not even there anymore?

I have a better idea. Get down to Nikkis Cheese Prata and tell Dean and Joe greetz from their friends Linda and Joe. In case, please report back to me, if they don’t work there anymore. Yeah and if you should make it to Pasir Panjang Village tonight, also greet Wan, the owner of the El Barrio bar.

Thanx!

Tammy NYP war nur der Anfang, la.
