I am not against it, but time has not come for that..." Instead of waiting for Singaporeans to get "educated" which could take forever, leaders should lead the example of how to press forwards and overcome the fear. It is also a form of education by itself. “Civil disobedience has a place… I am not against it, but time has not come for that…”

I feel sad that our Singapore sheep are too used to the path of least resistance..."It's too hard", "They will say no", "The MP is busy"... Instead of everyone coming together to show up for their beliefs, we're too used to giving up on our beliefs. I wish this were not so. However, such apathy can be stopped. It starts with me. I know that I will have an impact on those around me. Perhaps we need more such mindsets coming out of the rotting woodwork? :) @5) A Tan on September 24th, 2009 7.15 am

Truer words have not been spoken.

I feel sad that our Singapore sheep are too used to the path of least resistance…”It’s too hard”, “They will say no”, “The MP is busy”…

Instead of everyone coming together to show up for their beliefs, we’re too used to giving up on our beliefs.

I wish this were not so.

Take the recent crusade for justice that TKL led for credit note investors 11,000 investors affected 5,000 - complained 800 -- signed petition in Aug 200 -- attended rally Result Crusade discredited -- investors not interested And investors complain that distributors, govmin, public ignore them. Hey why shld anyone take can't-br-bothered investors seriously Contrast with HK where minibonders protested weekend after weekend. Got settlement that only S'pore investors could dream of. Passivity and docility has a cost. JBJ wrong as usual

The question should be “If the people are not willing to do anything, what is going to happen to them ?”

Take the recent crusade for justice that TKL led for credit note investors

11,000 investors affected
5,000 – complained
800 — signed petition in Aug
200 — attended rally

Result Crusade discredited — investors not interested

And investors complain that distributors, govmin, public ignore them. Hey why shld anyone take can’t-br-bothered investors seriously

Contrast with HK where minibonders protested weekend after weekend. Got settlement that only S’pore investors could dream of.

Passivity and docility has a cost.
