I think perhaps, i have another view, the people already know what happens in the SAF, comon, we all have to serve, however, perhaps this could be part of a long term agenda, for instance, didnt his father, the current PM, serve as a ‘brigadier general’ i use that term in inverted commas, since he’s currently the world record holder for a general without combat experience.
now would people look back when his son is up for elections and thing ‘hey isnt that the guy who blew the whiste, etc etc?
long term propaganda is what i think it is, if anyone else did that, it would be instantly covered up and made to disappear….
now i wonder who is going to be the PAP front man in a couple of years?
think about that. you may support him now for his ‘valiant actions’ but for all you know, it may be a ruse, the news media in singapore is known to be an agent of the government, giving props to the current ruling party for years, and showing the opposition in a poor light.
in this country of not so free press and lack of civil liberties, perhaps we are just all part of a long term plan to keep the lee family in power for years to come.
if the announcement fit the ‘crime’, it could be karma visiting this generation for all the ‘progress’ they had brought us.
at some point, all the injustices must add up one day.

[...] But it wasn’t so long ago that Li Hongyi made a serious faux pax while serving in the army, so much so that the rebuke from his uniformed superiors made headlines all over the place (see http://theonlinecitizen.com/2007/07/13/li-hong-yi/). [...]
I believe it’s propaganda to get hong yi into political office. Look despite all happen, he still got a scholarship from PSC and take a deeper look at PAP structure there is no future PM in the Cabinet list. Singaporean, pls be careful of the PAP plot. The rest of the grandchild of the Lees cannot make the cut and he seems to have reasonably make the cut and so you know they just want this dynasty to continue.
