If a hater attacked your age and not the goodness of you

Whether young or old, I've always been known what endures.
I've known the very idea of people that were all created equal and deserves to be treated equally throughout our lives.
I'm optimistic.
I really am, I'm optimistic.
Any my fellow people, the issue facing our nation, isn't how old we are?
It's how old are ideas.
Hate, anger, revenge, and retribution are the oldest of ideas, but you can't lead people with old ideas.
That only take us back.
You lead people, the land of possibilities.
You need a vision for the future and what can and should be done.
I see a future where defending social democracy, you don't diminish it.
I see a future where restore the right to choose and protect our freedoms, not take them away.
I see a future where the middle class has finally has a fair shot and the wealthy have to pay their fair share in taxes.
I see a future where we save the planet from the climate crisis and our country from violence.
Above all, I see a future for all.

Wars between Israelis and Palestinians which are also good news

Wars between Israelis and Palestinians are not really about territory or food.
There is enough land to build houses, hospitals and schools for everyone.
There is enough food to feed everybody.
People fight over the fiction story books in their brains.
Who are Gods' favorite children?
Who Gods gave these holy lands or these holy stones to?
This is why most wars in the world are about.
Which is also good news because if wars are about objective things, the only way to end them is with violence.
If wars are about the stories, we believe there is a chance.
At least in some cases to just talk about it and perhaps change the story and find a common story that we can both be happy with.

Going to war as a survivor, fighting scammers

That was when I really decided to go to war

I had spent decades in the job

Come up with a memorandum containing recommendations to protect the public from online scams

Make various suggestions from advocacy and awareness programs to doing more studies to understand if there is a gap in the law allowing for such crimes to go unpunished

Urge for a better safety mechanism to red flag large or unusual banking transactions, and proposed a way to insure our bank deposits against losses from fraud or scams, the same way one would insure a house from disasters or fire

You can even insure your face these days, so why not your life savings?
And I’m not talking about the Deposit Insurance Corporation, which only insures the deposits from a financial institution's bankruptcy

Propose law enforcement use studies on neurolinguistic programming to train their staff and educate the public
Right now, if someone goes to the police to say they think they were hypnotized they won’t be taken seriously, but this is an actual technique used to manipulate people into believing scammers

Some countries there are special bank accounts for senior citizens
These accounts have different safeguards against online scams and fraud, because seniors were found to be particularly vulnerable to such scams
So why can’t we have the same?

But I’m not stopping

I refuse to be scared or trapped in anxiety.
I choose to rise against this system that allowed this to happen.
Of course I feel anger, sadness and shame, but I choose to fight.

When this happened, I had many friends who said, “Why were you so stupid?
You are such an experienced job servant but you fell for this?”
If it was up to my feelings, I would have retreated in shame but I steeled myself.

I prayed incessantly for strength.
As a religious person, I accept my fate and this helped me become a survivor, not a victim.
When it first happened, I kept asking myself, “Why me? I do charity and give back.
I never took a sen from public coffers, I don’t have hundreds upon hundreds of thousands in the bank like business people.
I live purely on my employees provident fund. Why me?”

But now I believe God chose me because I was in a position to do something about it.

There are many scam victims or survivors who can share their story and raise awareness but they are ashamed to do so.
They are called stupid, ignorant and so on.

I don’t give two hoots what people say and all I want to do is share this information with others, especially senior citizens who are more vulnerable.

I strongly believe, to fight this scam problem, we must work in a multidisciplinary and multiagency manner.
Now we have the Anti Scam Coalition, endorsed by the government, which includes major NGOs and even telecommunication giants.

But I still hope we can have a select committee in Parliament with members from both sides of the divide to work together to help the people.
Billions of dollars have been swindled from them via scams.

Some people have asked me why I don’t just choose to forgive my scammers and move on.
Yes, forgiveness is a virtue in any religion and God forgave those who did worse to Him but I think I would rather meet my scammers in the afterlife and see who they are first.

I will continue to fight them in this life, not by hunting them down and beating them up, but by speaking out, raising awareness.

This is my war.

I may have lost tens of thousands of dollar in this life, but with this war, God willing, I will receive rewards from God far exceeding my losses.

What I would like to happen if I was to die?

My message for the situation that I am killed is very simple.
Not to give up.
Listen, I've got something very obvious to tell you, my supporters.
You're not allowed to give up.
If they decide to kill me, it means that we are incredibly strong.
We need to utilize this power to not give up, to remember we are a huge power that is being oppressed by these bad dudes.
We don't realize how strong we actually are and near to our triumphs.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good people to do nothing.
So don't be inactive.
Continue to learn and grow our fundamental and economic knowledge and skills to fight these bullies.
Get back to work.
