You see, people believe in doctors. But bloggers are NOT the same as doctors who contribute in medical websites. Bloggers are defined as ANYONE who opens an account with livejournal, blogger, etc. So basically ANYONE from a 12 yr old aspiring porn actor to a 75 year old retiree is a blogger. I mean the definition of a blogger is someone who blogs. And we all know anyone blogs. You people are just no better than Xiaxue, just that you don’t apply as much make up. =)

The ONLY thing that medical websites and blogs share in common is the platform that they exist on- the internet.

The platform does not count for ANYTHING. It’s the power that is vested in someone that gives him/her credit. A doctor is vested with the power by the state’s medical council to practise and the power certifies his opinions with weight. A journalist’s ‘personal opinion’ is vested by the state newspaper, who employed him/her. The letter of employment vests the journalist with a public persona whose opinions have weight.

And as usual, I can see the bloggers who are basically the down and out losers of every society desperately trying to align themselves with ‘dubious non-existent commonalities’ with established ranks of society by saying that their dumb blogs that operate out of their $12 a month internet connection aligns them with doctors who may choose to pen their expert and educated knowledge on the web.

What a bunch of LOSERS. But what’s new?

CSJ and LKY faced of for the first time ever in Belinda Ang’s court. Towards the end even LKY grudgingly admit that CSJ has eloquence! That’s why he is seen as such a danger to the pap. Would it even bother if CSJ is seen as a harmless gadfly?

To begin with, being a Christian has nothing to do with being “mainstream”. She is marginalising Christianity.

The system has created them and they take on a life (political life or some may want to call it activitist life) on their own. In fact, the Chees have slowly and steadily” stripped down naked the aura of invincibility” of the authority who has unwittingly been drawn into this mess.

I just hope this mess will be kept to a manageable level so that all of us can still concentrate on the real bread and butter issues.

I think you have a point. Despite all that’s been thrown at them, the Chees and the SDP just won’t go disappear and that tactic seems to have irked LKY and the PAP. They just don’t know what to do with them. This labeling of Chee SJ as a mental case seems to be a desperate measure.

Could it be that a lot of people find what he does distasteful and ineffective is because most of what we know is through the filtered lens of the media. How many people have actually hear him speak in person?

Now becase of the filtered lens of the media, we are going to have more misconceptions about his mental health.

For example:

Chia Thye Poh – Communist
Tan Wah Piow – Subversive, Marxist
Vincent Cheng – Marxist, subversive
Devan Nair – Alcoholic
JBJ – Destructive
James Gomez – Liar, Cheat, Dishonest
Sylvia Lim – Dishonourable
Low Thia Khiang – Dishonourable
Tang Liang Hong – Anti-Christian, Chinese Chauvinist

Thing is: Even though such labeling, to me at least, is vulgar, it is nonetheless, effective. But it is no magic as LKY makes use of the media to repeat these labels.

Of course, the labels which the PAP – and LKY – give themselves are totally different, almost as if they’re living in another world. Among the labels they give themselves are:

Extraordinary Government
Unique
Special
World Class

Well, you get the idea.

But for all that LKY has done, to get the media to label Dr Chee as “near psychopath” and “suffering from antisocial personality disorder” is a sign of desperation.

Perhaps they no longer know what to do with Dr Chee. So, lets make him into a mad man so that we no longer have to deal with him. The next time he says something defamatory, we will just say, “Well, he’s certified insane.”

That, I suspect, is the strategy.

But knowing Dr Chee, it is not going to faze him one bit.

Any capable opposition who emerge will have his head cut off. People like Lim Chin Siong, Chia Thye Poh, J B Jeyaratnam, Francis Seow and now Dr. Chee.

A few years ago LKY also said, “If we considered them serious political figures we would not have kept them politically alive for so long. We could have made them bankrupt earlier.” So people like Chiam and Loh are tolerated to show to the world that there is a semblence of Democracy in Singapore. They are there to create a point of argument for LKY. In fact in the recent court exchanges he made used of these two examples to rebut the points raised by Dr. Chee.

By the old man’s logic, if he did not care to sue, then it must be true.

How come he did not sue that person concerned ?
