SAR WARs Chapter Four: A New Republic

A long time ago in the tiny land of SingABall, far far away.

Within the land, there lay the isolated, desolated and hermit world of NTU, pronounced as (ng-tu). It was orginally a place of learning. The students and professors found themselves in an excellent location to seek higher knowledge, Ntu is strategically positioned in the most out-of-reach, awkward and secluded area of SingABall. This was well because the students and professors were too busy studying, researching, exchanging ideas, communicating, transferring knowledge, engineering, businessing, to even go out of Ntu. Walls of trees block off all available route to Ntu. The only miserable connections Ntu had with the rest of civilisation was two sqanky buses, when the rest of the world are using hyper-transnational-transit-plane (HTTP).

One day, the President of Ntu decided that enough is enough, and decided to declare that Ntu be seperated from SingABall and form a Republic on its own. He convened the First Union (FU), to announce to the professors and students of NTU that the Republic of Ntu is officially born. And forever the members of Republic of Ntu be called Ntutu (ng-tu-tu).

The flag of Republic of Ntu was raised solemnly and the national anthem "We Are No Tutus" sang with gusto. The Ntutus raised their right hand up and with pride recited the Republic of Ntu plege:

"We, the Ntutus, pledge ourselves as one united Republic.
Regardless of whether you are from China, India, Vietnam or other hard-to-pronounce places,
To build a Competitive, Meritocratic, Cut-throat society,
And to Destroy the city of Nus (pronounced as nurse) and the city of Smu (pronounced as s-mu),
And to Establish ourselves as a Hip, Fun, Modern and Cool Ntu,
Base on the number of As and Distinctions.
So as to achieve Happiness, Prosperity and Progress for Our Nation."

It was good. Near perfect.

Meanwhile at the JEDI Council (Joint-Elite Deans' Imperialist council).

Yoyo-da, the head of the council, started his speech, "Happy, we are. Formed, is the Republic. Ahead, many enemies. SingABall, especially."

Then the Dean of English and Language and Anti-Singlish interrupted, "I am flabbergasted and appalled by your English....."

Yoyo-da replied, "Cock, talk. English, I say good."

The President of Ntu stepped in and said, "Our resistance has just started. Our resistance against SingABall. Then can we freaking don't cocking here and freaking there. Freak your man! Woah kao......enemies at door liao, still want to kpkb. You all like one pan of scattered sand (yi1 pan2 san3 sha2). Later the enemies can take advantage and come in (cheng4 xu1 er2 ru4). Don't later regret until don't have remorse (hou3 hui3 mo4 ji2). Now we must know myself and know enemy-self, then we can hundred battles hundred win (zhi ji zhi pi, bai zhan bai sheng). May the As be with your."

Yoyo-da stunned and said, "Lor, yea. Sand, too scattered here."

Soon, they came to a concensus which included, to unite the Republic, to upgrade Canteen A and B, to FAIL MORE STUDENTS AND HENCE TOUGHEN ALL EXAMINATIONS, to let students do more projects to fill their all their time and to CONFINE ALL IN HOSTELS.

At the End of the JEDI Council, all resounded a, "May the As be with you."

Soon, over at the SingABall-side, many people voted to allow for independence for Ntu. As usual, the SingABalloreans' views were rejected.

The Prime Minister of SingABall, PM LEEEE retorted, "To the renegades, We SingABall,will have the balls to launch an attack to reclaim to our territory. I will offer free upgrades, free this free that and free everything for those Repentant Ones. Give up your freedom in exchange for the LOVE our government will bestowed onto you. Remember that our SingABall Armed Forces will spare no wayangness to take down your so-call republic."

The President of Ntu showed no fear, "I represent all the Ntutus to denounce your threats. You cannot force us to concerce to your demands. You cannot use free stuff, SingABall Sales and Intergrated Resorts to tempt us. We listen to no-one. Take that from us. I urge other provinces and states like the States of Island of Backward Die (Palua Blakang Mati) to declare independence. And I urged Ntutus not to join the Dark Side. Many the As be with You."

And so a series of attacks and sorties were launched on Ntu...many failed miserably because the SingABall Armed Forces got lost within the labyrinth of Ntu and the ERA of SingABall-Anti-Republic Wars, hence known as SAR Wars, was forever etched in the minds of many........
