The truth whether Sinkaporean had finally wake up is the result of the coming GE. We must not be over complecent but continue to spread to word we want change. The recession will continue for a quiet if the forecast is right. We had become a country of money crappers, starting from the top. Everything is measured in dollar and cent. What about morality, justice, fairness,thrust? Is this what we want as a country? For male citizen who are required by law to serve NS, are we prepared to fight and defend a system of gahment that serve only those selected few? LKY had said he is prepared to call in the army if the GE produced result contrary to his expectation. Is this democarcy? The will of the people seemed irrelevant. In the past, opposition party was labelled communist but this time round what label had they dreamed up for the opposition?

When fear of the old fart no longer had any effect,that’s when fear can no longer be useful anymore. Well said BAJI.

Sad that MP from jurong has to die so young, and without much contribution to the nation had he live longer. Will there be an by-election? I hope there is. This MP died not resigned or step down. DIED. I hope the PAP do not use the rest of GRC MPs as a sharing pool. I wan my MP living not dead and especially not shared.

PN Balji, Editorial Director.
Look like you going to be demoted for telling the brutal truth, haha.The old fart will never let anyone publicly say about his nepotism and greed.
But then Singaporean is glad that you speak up with no fear finally.

Well done, Balji, whatever the outcome !

RH:
1. It has always been a Faustian bargain, this ‘we run SG as we like as long as you get some goodies’. At first, like Faust, we thought we were getting a reasonable deal, and the Devil was reasonable at first. Then the cunning Devil started to run the place for himself and his famiLIE and some ilks.

2. Today, we can better see what the bargain entails. We sold, not just our souls but also our humanity and any pride we had. Numbed by the Devil’s open greed and arrogance, having had the upper hand for half a century, we get a bitter taste of helplessness as we see him openly abusing the system and us, all for himself and his.

3. Time for his farewell aria, and may it be the screeching scream of impending Hell.

Spot on, Balji.

And it all started from the very top.
