Is Singapore a Masonic Paradise?

Theodor Herzel was the father of the modern nation of Israel, who founded Zionism in 1897:

This post speculates that the city-state of Singapore may have been secretly planned out by Freemasonry, under masonic or semi-masonic rule to this day. Whether this secret rule (if it exists) is “good” or “bad” as you will see, is a matter of worldview. Both masonic and anti-masonic conspiracy theorists could easily use the things in this post to support their views, depending upon whether one views unrestrained capitalism as "good" or "bad."

Singapore is arguably the richest, safest, and cleanest places on earth. It is also one of the only known “benevolent dictatorship” (only semi-democratic) in the history of mankind. 42% of its population are practicing Buddhists, the rest are mainly Christians, Muslims and Jews.

There were some “hints” from information found online suggesting the importance of Freemasonry in Singapore. The most obvious oddity would be the high number of lodges in this city-state of less than 750 km-square:

That’s 35 lodges in a single city (meeting in one lodge building, there could be more) — which is rather anomalous. Next, it is a known fact that many of the ruling elite of Singapore were Freemasons. The Founder of Singapore, Sir Stamford Raffles, was a Freemason. A few others as well. Below is a list of some famous Singaporean Freemasons or Brothers:

• Sir Charles Warren – Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis

• Thomas Dunman - Deputy Superintendent of Police

• Thomas Braddell – First Attorney General of Singapore

• James Brooke - Rajah of Sarawak

• Sir Henry Keppel – Admiral of the Fleet

• William Henry Macleod Read – Chairman of the Singapore Chamber of Commerce

The “Marquis of Dalhousie,” one of the most influential figures of British Colonialism was a Freemason. An Obelisk was erected in his honour — in Singapore:

The Turbo-Capitalistic mentality of Singapore might be explained by the following inscription on the Obelisk (partially quoted):

“emphatically recognized the wisdom of liberating commerce from all restraints, under which enlightened policy this settlement has rapidly attained its present rank among British possessions and with which its future prosperity must ever be identified…”

The designer of the Obelisk and author of the inscription, John Turnbull Thomson, was also a Freemason.

There was an article on Singapore being run by secret societies posted in the “China Morning Post.” This article is about Singapore’s semi-masonic "Pyramid Club" published by Jake Lloyd-Smith, SCMP, Aug 31 2001. Some relevant snippets:

“the more important but least-familiar parts of Singapore's formidably successful establishment. The Pyramid is the after-hours home for more than 300 of the country's top movers and shakers, and anyone who is said to be a member.”

“Although the Pyramid's membership list might read like a Who's Who of Singapore, the institution goes out of its way not to attract attention.”

“One well-placed Singaporean talks of the Pyramid in terms that most people would associate with a cult. He speculates on understandings forged within a cosy fraternity and designed to keep the country on its stable trajectory. The reality is perhaps less sensational but might help in understanding formation and execution of Singapore's public policy.”

“George Yeo Yong-Boon, the Minister for Trade and Industry and one of the Government's most promising front-benchers, is the Pyramid's president, assisted by vice-president Mah Bow Tan, who is the Minister for National Development. Michael Lim Choo San, the chairman of the National Healthcare Group, which manages half of the island's hospitals and clinics, is listed as honorary treasurer.”

“The first club president was Goh Keng Swee - a key ally of then-prime minister Lee - who then held the finance-ministry portfolio. He was supported by Pyramid vice-president, Jek Yeun Thong, then the political secretary in the prime minister's office.”

“Beneath the trees at the foot of the driveway, a small sign confirms that you have found No. 2 Goodwood Park. Bolted on top, no bigger than a paperback book, is a stylised pyramid logo. It is as close as you are likely to get to one of Singapore's best-kept secrets.”

Grand Masonic Hall in Singapore:

The father of modern Israel, Theodor Herzel, who was quoted saying:

“Masonic lodges are established all over the world to help us achieve our independence. Those pigs, the non-jewish Masons, will never understand the final objects of Masonry.”

was also quoted saying:

“If the whole branches of Jews must be destroyed, it is worth it, as long as a Jewish state in Palestine is created.”

True enough, a Jewish state in Palestine, the modern nation of Israel was established in 1947 following the Balfour Declaration in 1914, accentuated by the Holocaust which happened during WW2. Singapore, also known as the Israel of Southeast Asia, was founded by Sir Stamford Raffles, a 33rd-degree Freemason who worked for the British East India Company:

“Singapore and Israel share ‘a certain kindred spirit,’ says former foreign minister George Yeo in an interview to Haaretz – both small nations having to survive under difficult odds and surrounded by Muslim-majority countries… Indeed, for years, neighboring countries disparagingly referred to Singapore as the ‘Israel of Southeast Asia.’”

Is the leadership of Singapore among “those pigs, non-Jewish Masons” that Theodor Herzel was referring to? Afterall, Singapore, also known as the Israel of Southeast Asia, was founded by a high-ranking Freemason who worked for the British East India Company, a global masonic organization.

“Freemasonry is nothing but crypto-Judaism for gentiles. And the world is still ruled by the Anglo-American-Zionist bankers, centered in London and New York. It's all very clear, if you know what to look for.” — HugeYakman

Well, if the leadership of Singapore is among “those pigs, non-Jewish Masons” that Theodor Herzel was referring to, does it mean that they are ruled over by the Anglo-American-Zionist bankers centered in London and New York?

“Not only do we know no North, no South, no East, and no West, but we know no government save our own. To every government save that of Masonry, and to each and all alike, we are foreigners; and this form of government is neither pontifical, autocratic, monarchial, republican, democratic, nor despotic; it is a government per se, and that government is Masonic… We are a nation of men only bound to each other by Masonic ties… as citizens of the world, and that world is the world of Masonry; brethren to each other all the world over, foreigners to all the world beside.” — Missouri Grand Lodge Report (1867)

A masonic government is still a government per se, but one that is masonic, which according to the Missouri Grand Lodge Report (1867), means that it is neither pontifical, autocratic, monarchial, republican, democratic, nor despotic. Singapore’s leadership has always been described as “benevolent dictatorship.” Isn’t that a fitting description for a masonic goverment?

BTW, the British East India Company did not cease to exist. It just morphed itself into what we call HSBC today.
