They stood there and caused no harm-why is a state so stable fearful of words…because these words uncover the bullshit the governement is feeding!!!
one day when ure life is fed to the sharks with no proper justification will you realise the worth of what the two locals are doing…ud wish someone stood up for you…

Indeed, if we are to go back to the infamous Saffron March, we would realise that the level of concern shown around the world identified the gravity of the situation.

Over in Singapore, we have a group of Burmese, concerned for their country, their friends, their relatives, their families and even their faith showing support to calls for the Military Junta to handle the situation with care and sensitivity. What they did was to react to the sudden developments in their country which was a concern to them.

The question here is this; is it wrong for them to speak up and show concern for the political developments in their own country from wherever they are in the world, whether China or India or US or Singapore? Could not this show of concern be seen as a patriotic concern and love for the country?

I believe the problem of the treatment they are receiving from our SG govt is very much related to the manner in which the PAP govt views protest carried out by concerned citizens – that they are nothing but trouble makers.

For this episode, I believe it has done wrong to view these concerned and patriotic Burmese nationals as trouble-makers; the same manner it has viewed oppositions in Singapore.

What u talk about them come here use Singapore for political agenda? U got info say they know each other and plot political agenda n come?

Those poor souls just react to tragic oppression in their country. Don’t so bad say they got political agenda, please lar.

Singapore should not become a platform for these idiotic foreigners…the Singapore government did the right thing to expel them…in fact, more should be expeled so as to send a strong message to those idiotic foreigners not to come here and use Singapore as their base for their political agenda!!!

Do you think we care what names one can think up to attach a label on another? This is what this PAP govt is good at doing. If there is an label that I can come up with that goes to describe this govt in relation to the question you asked, it will be this:

“How many in PAP is suffering from Sin & Guilt?”

Shame on you, you ought to be asking if this govt has any shame at all for all the sins commited by them.

When thy issue wide blanket statements covering the issues of right of protest, film acts etc, the common reaction is that how will they be implemented? They are not implementable without the risk of being perceived as being subjective and selective. In virtually all democratic countries these laws would never be passed, let alone laws that appear to contradict the constitutions. All this summation of twisting and tweaking simply ends corrupting our entire nation – twisted logic of the HDB, laughing stock court cases, judges not being able to act justly, police and other state machinery being used for unproductive activites, the elites asking for stratospheric pay packages, the list goes on.

Look at our flags, listen to our pledge, how far have we, as a nation, deviated from the true spirit?

In Singapore court, they can charge you anything they want, whether law or not, they will come out with new ones to charge you. Who is the law here? every singaporeans know that too well. The law here is made to protect only 1 man who made it a law here.

Tells you very much about how world-class our government is when it comes to democracy.

2 Singaporeans easy to arrest and prosecute. Can induce fear among the peasants to prevent them from protesting in future. Elites even take effort to release a joint statement.

I wonder if 200 or 2000 unemployed Singaporeans stood in front of MOM with their protest signs. What would our dear elites do then?
