Is it wonder that Singapore gov doesn’t want to be hero but coward this time ? With so much to lose in building so-called ‘Trillion dollars economy’ with casinos building to be contruct, ferrari racing circuit…
Money sells too good than morality, and not to speak of millions dollars arms sale to Myanmar.

In time of crisis, we see a more compassionate society like US, and Britain western counterpart do the action, and ASEAN countries do all the talking. Remind me of HOng Kong film movie, when the end come, those police will appear after all battle end to claim the credit.

Ironically, whatever news and atrocities that say of Burma is just applicable to Singapore minus the violience and physically death. In Singapore, those just translated to financial death rather than physical death.

Where LKY who love to talk a lot … is he on holiday ? And where is our PM who always disappear in nick of crucial moment. Where are their million dollars moral authority ?
The poor monk has such high moral authority although they have peanut, then our leaders ought to have million times moral authority.

So can our expensive presidents, PM, SM, MM , and Ministers demostrate their moral authority now to the world. Don’t tell us that we shouldn’t be troublemaker, shouldn’t interference in our people’s business because perhaps this will be the same thing you tell us in future.

As a chairman of ASEAN , please act with moral authority and not Mrs Peanut in NKF saga.

“Other unconfirmed reports from exile groups described scenes of brutality and humiliation of monks and their superiors when soldiers entered the monasteries.

“We were told by a lot of residents that the soldiers came in very rudely and told them to kneel down,” Mr. Aung Zaw said. “Their senior abbot was beaten in front of the others. They were told to walk like dogs. That news quickly spread, and whether it is rumor or true, people got very, very angry.””

And what’s got me even more apalled was this article by The Irrawaddy on Singapore’s relationship with those so-called rulers.

If you call yourself a Buddhist, codemn this behaviour by:

1. boycotting all Burmese businesses connected with those so-called rulers
2. never patronise Penisula Plaza again
3. boycott every Singaporean property development that started after the Indonesian sand ban, for there is a chance they used Burmese sand
4. call on the Singapore government to come clean with it’s relations with those so-called rulers and totally cut off all ties with them in a verifiable way

I’m usually not too into this kind of things, and I often regard Chee Soon Juan as a hopeless, nonsense-babbling, and brainless opposition figure that is no better than the people he criticise, but for this once, I can actually agree with that guy. Stop these nonsense at once, for it cannot continue for any second longer!

Myanmar PM in long stay at S’pore hospital

Soe Win, the suspected mastermind of a deadly attack on opposition forces in Myanmar four years ago, has been at the Singapore General Hospital for three to four months, said the staffer.

Imagine you donate blood and it ends up in this bastard. Wonder who’s footing his SGH bill?

What ASEAN really can do

1) Negotiate with the generals to go into exile in a foreign country or another ASEAN country and plan a safe exit out of Myanmar to the country of exile

2) Freeze the assets of the generals within ASEAN

3) Cancel the visas and expatriate family members of the generals, who are living in other ASEAN countries namely Singapore, back to Myanmar

Save us the talk ASEAN, Time for some action….

Thank you for raising that point. It’s something my friends and I have been wondering about for a while.

Does anyone right now remember how Myanmar, despite its patchy track record, end up so close to the ASEAN community.

Or why?

All I can say is, to those in the know and had a hand in it despite all the tell-tail signs, may you Gods have mercy on you someday.

UNITED NATIONS – THE Association of South-east Asian Nations (Asean) voiced ‘revulsion’ on Thursday at the killings in Yangon and sternly demanded that fellow member Myanmar stop using violence against demonstrators.
In unusually blunt language for the group, the nine other foreign ministers said they were ‘appalled to receive reports of automatic weapons being used’ on crowds and demanded the Myanmar government ‘immediately desist from the use of violence against demonstrators’.

Want to know who helped them make the automatic weapons? See fourth article in http://www.burmalibrary.org/reg.burma/archives/199807/msg00515.html

It is time for ASEAN, under the Chairmanship of Singapore currently, to grow some backbone and take concrete action.

For a start, Singapore should take the lead, since it is the Chair, and issue a clear, direct, unequivocal statement.

Stop hiding behind excuses and lame semantics!

Yes, wear a red shirt on this Friday (28 Sept 2007) for Burma.
