    To the Men-In-White,

    Well done. Keep it up!

    Impose more of such silly regulations and we’ll soon overtake North Korea.

    Communist China does tolerate protests. As long as the protests are within the OB markers, they will be tolerated. Tibet and Taiwan are 2 most well-known Chinese OB markers. The Chinese Authority didn’t clamp down on the parents’ protest over the Melamine Milk incident. The Chinese Authority didn’t clamp down protestors at the Japanese Embassy when the Japanese PM visited the Yasukuni War Memorial Shrine.

    i think if what donaldson say is really true and back with evidence, then existing mps should bring this out in parliment to debate

    I wonder if PAP would care if we were to stage a protest at their plans to increase the already-over-optimum-number population thru foreign imports.
