After JJB passed on, Dr.Chee is the only known personality that dare to take on LKY. His bravery came with heavy cost both financially and his personal liberty. Sinkaporean had been brain washed all these years as we have only gahment controlled media for all our news. It is a rear occasion to hear an alternative views. We all know what happen.The gahment used all the instruments of state power to silent him.If PAP has nothing to hide they would welcome an alternative views to prove how good they are but instead they use the judicial system to bankcrupt them and disqualified them from running as an opposition members, keeping paliament 100% PAP with a few NMP. What sort of democracy is this ?Row in the same PAP direction for another 50 years?

While row in the same direction is logical, question is who's direction?! PEOPLE or the leader?! What is leadership anyway? Where is the leadership anyway? Who is the servant anyway?! The people?

An aircraft carrier can contain between 3000 to beyond 5000 crew. To think 22 people playing soccer in one corner can cause the carrier to become unstable. Pui! Agree that in a rowboat all should row together but when you keep feeding the ones with a more muscular and better physique with good food and telling the rest of the skinny ones that since they are so skinny, they do not need more than what is adequate to keep them alive; then tell me, how are these going to be motivated to row together, dummy? You jolly well, get the well-fed ones to row us out of the stormy waters, if not, give the good food to us if you want us to help out. Real damn stupid ambassador.

I guess you need to pay top dollar so he can make sure the sampan doesn't capsize :P. Pretty sure he's one of the few people on this sampan with the life-vest too.
