This list of “opposition party members” is so pitiable.

If you guys want to “protest” against anything, make sure you have a gathering of sufficient numbers and enough respectable people in your ranks. Your protest and call for abolition for ISA are better reserved for home consumption for your kids at home. Don’t bother us the majority of Singaporeans who repeatedly voted the PAP.

But do read wider, see beyond, there is a whole world of views out there.

I admire the bravery of the youthful 4 who spoke ; just do be very careful in whatever you do – the ISA is there and will be there forever.

Do take care. please

retiree, these youths are testing the envelop of POA now, as well as Ah Loong “a consensus society with alternative and diverse views”.

Like 1st, 2nd & 3rd generation apolitical Singaporeans, 4th Generation is certainly vocal, raucous (“kanagroo”, ‘non-violent Civil disobedience”) and best of all assertive.

Can cut both way:

1 – either smash like 21-May-1987
2 – or an “alternative party” is emerging and given plenty of leeway like “anti-PAP but yet pro-Singapore”.

- The Malayan Communist Party is no more,
- 2nd World is no more,
- Communism, Marxism, Marxism-Leninism and Maoism in retreat and proven false
- China is a capitalist heaven nowadays.
- Informaiton can’t be suppressed like in the 80s.

In all probability, there is a high chance that 4th generation Singaporeans is slowly evolving into an assertive and questioning citizenry.

PAP is no slough and allow this kind of situaiton like a “pressure relief valve” before it can build up a nice head of steam.

Meaning:
it is easier to defang a situaiton that to suppress it like in the 80s.

With absolute poltiical control, starving oppostion of finance, talents and resources, PAP is only bemused at these various pin-pricks which have absolutely no impact or make the slightest d ent to their absolute political power control.

Do not worry.

Thsi kind of remembrance is excellent propanganda fro PAP Government to show to APEC leaders in Novemebr that “democracy sia lvie and well and we have a vibrant poltiical opposition culture in SIngapore with our youths now slagging PAP over polciies in 1987″.

Rememebr this con-man’s saying:
“For every attempt,a llow the sucker to win 1 in 5″.

Well, “Operation Spectrum” remembrance can be that lucky “1 in 5″ that PAP Gvoernemtn tolerate…with an eye on Novemebr APEC Meeting.

Tan Wah Piow is not available for loan yet in the library. Anyone know where can can I locate them in Singapore bookshops?

Thanks

Sections 9 and 14 of Part IV (Fundamental Liberties) of the Constitution of Singapore have been heavily tampered with. In particular, Clauses 2 and 3 of Section 14 should be removed completely. Look them up.

you seems to be the only one here who wrote something constructive.

Deng Xiao Ping sends the tanks to kill millions ?

Would you like to substantiate “millions” ?

Public Order Act have to potential to be used to blind and gag the public. With such a law, everyone cannot legally film what the police is doing, therefore, any ‘evidence’ obtained will be illegal and cannot be use in the courts. Also, journalist cannot expose the wrong doings of the authorties, since government action is almost carried out by the police.

Finally, given such powers, isn’t it easier to lead to police brutality?

I really hope I am wrong in my worries. I hope some one trained in the law can correct me.

If know, then next time at a HLP event if she is there to write about it, people can go and approach her lor. and ask her was it typo or was it 100 people turned up and not 50.

They did the same thing with them in the papers – build a web of conspiracy connecting person to person. Create a scene in quite a silly way, that they were going to terrorise Yishun MRT with a bicycle, and so on.

What if some of those detained in 2003 are innocent, and they’ve been there rotting for the past 6 years, tortured and being forced to confess, eventually to come on TV and make similar statements? All the while never ever being given a chance in court?

Don’t throw the word “terrorist”around on everyone, especially don’t use it to justify the ISA. EVERY HUMAN BEING deserves a fair trial and is innocent until proven guilty. I’m quite disappointed by your point of view, but I will continue supporting you Ravi..

“It is not easy now for LKY or his son to arrest political opponents on flimsy grounds.”
I don’t know if it is true but it definitely come close for gomez has not certain clown mistaken said something about fixing opp party and buying supporter’s vote. Has gomez been arrest then the investigation should be called to do so for PM as well. They call it a rest because of not wanting too much implications.

“They can only make them bankrupt.”
That is just as devastating because Money is the number one thing in Singapore, and since they can’t kill people at will like the junta, then making opponent bankrupt is the best way to discourage people from been a dissent just like killing people by Junta is way to give warning. Junta use violence, ours use law and money, with money comes their own-made law.

After 22 years, the SHITTY TIMES is still shitty.
