thx :-)

He must be wrong,and ex-trade & industry minister and a President scholar,SAF scholar,it is sad that his mastery of details is relly not up to the mark!

Even the morality in hospital seem dubious as it become a profit-orientated organization because the gahmen believe that there is no free lunch in the world, and people will continue to PayAndPay for good service. OUrc society is only as moral as our established leaders because it the leaders which influence the society and decide what’s best for you and me.

Yet I still appreciated of what the gahmen do for public in reducing hospital cost, but I’m can’t help thinking that it is a reactive policy rather than proactive. If we public do not complain or whining, I will 100% say the gov simply will not doing anything at all because the gov tell us caring for the sick is a large cost to them.

My sentiments are similar to yours. But we might be confusing two different aspects of the issue of medical treatment – ethics/morality and politics.

Never mind what the PM said about the Hypocritic (or was it Hippocratic?) Oath. I don’t buy his argument. That’s politics.

Personally, I do not advocate killing anybody for whatever reasons. Even if it is a despicable tyrannical murderer. I have watched the videos of Saddam Hussein’s execution and I have come to the conclusion that it must have taken a very hard hearted person to kill another. So what if he is dead, does it bring the innocent back to life? Will we be able to go on living with blood on our own hands? What will happen to humanity if we adopt the “a life for a life” approach to solving problems.

Is killing the tyrant the only or best way to stop the violence? Who knows, the mercy shown to him might even haunt him for the rest of his life. That, to me, is worse than death.

“Let’s not be blinded or carried away by hatred. If we deny a man the medical treatment he seeks, are we not potential murderers ourselves? So he is a murderer. Killing a murderer is not murder? Does two wrongs make a right? Is that the only solution?”

The question we be asking is
“Why save a life of acknowledged murderer that continue to murder another thousand of innocent people ?”
People who bear the blood of innocent people without guilt and conscience are not human being at all, to say the lest. Are we actually saving a savage or a human being ?

Of course, if the gov and our really pathetic PM says “No one should deprived of medical treatment here”, does he really mean that “only those who are wealthy and contributed to economic monetary success of Singapore” ?

The Junta is a ‘terrorist’ in his own countries, killing innocent people, and the only thing that he isn’t a terrorist in other countries, and therefore consider people worthy of medical treatment, but who is PM to judge them whether good or not, is the Junta determine by the wealth he has ? Is he just because there is some business relationship between Junta and Singapore that singapore gov feel that Junta will not do anything funny here.

If that’s the case, does it means that if a terrorist aboard setup a business that contributed millions of dollar to Singapore gov but which does not harm terrorise local but his very own countries, Singapore gov is willing and happily to do business with him ??
Common sense will tell us that the business he setup here may be used to fund the terrorist activities against his country and innocent people.

Isn’t this the same as Junta ? So what you talking you, PM, MM , or whatever M’And’M ?

I agreed, as it doesn’t matter if the foreigner is a murderer, rapist and anyone who do evil, as long as he can provide economic and wealth interest to coffers’ party, anything goes.

The saga is over, why not PM STFU ?

We know PM is not credible after craps of freedom of speech, accountability, moral authority, society based on equity etc…

If PM means what he says, wealthly terrorist will be welcome to seek treatment here, and why not PM invit Saddam and other terrorists to Singapore for treatment (Brain treatment to become good people). The junta is no worse than terrorist !!! Killing people and we are the supplier of those weapons etc to Junta means we have bear the blood of those people who die innocently in burma. This is something we never forget. Sadly, we are the murderer’s apprentice.

Really shameful of what had become Singapore society run by shameless gov who lack humanity and compassionate but pays millions to give crappy answer.

George Yeo, the person I used to respect, end up as one million dollars joker for the word he says.

The rest of the world will be following the footsteps of Singapore gov as they envy Singapore’s much success. Ruthless, selfish, self-centered, self-justified etc as long as they achieve their aims.

Indeed, our society has been morally corrupted since the the incorporation of Singapore Inc.

David,

It looks like you’re right. The demonstrations are dying down, the inevitable reprisals are around the corner, and ASEAN — and Singapore — seems content to sit and talk, and talk, and talk. Looks like they’re more interested in money than anything else.

As for the ST…I consider it prime material for critical thinking exercises. Good practice for the A levels.

James Chia,

Indeed. And yet someone’s got to start somewhere, or we’ll never know if investigative journalism would ever succeed. It can work on the Internet — now we need to see if the State would see things this way.

(Which it won’t.)

Leakin,

While I think the chances of that happening are a little less than that of a snowball forming in the Sahara, there may be a chance that local media would run a story to ‘disprove’ these claims, directly or indirectly.

Or pretend that they don’t exist.

Full permission is granted to reproduce the essay in its entirety, so long as it is properly accredited, with a link back to myself in case someone wishes to follow up on it. If nothing else, it’s a demonstration of solidarity for the Burmese — and a plea for our government to do more than talk.

I hope the st will run a story on these things

MillionsDollarSalary= STFU = NoReply

Once again, I foreseen that these millions dollar gahmen will come out again as usual and preach their moral authority and governance system to the world.

From this saga, we definitely know what our expensive ministers are really make of. They are really taiji masters and master ninjatsu in art of appearing on the right moment, disappear at the wrong moment.

We Singaporean, indeed should learn from our gov.

It is very shameful that gov still doesn’t tell us about their involvement about Junta. Indeed, Lesile Fong will have to eat his word saying blog is not credible. At least, blog reveal thing that ShitTime doesn’t even report on.

I wonder how Singaporean can be intelligent just by believing and reading ShitTime.
