I still wonder if it has anything to do with the death penalty itself. If the PAP wanted to silence death penalty critics, then wouldnt this site be a much bigger target than Shadrake.

@Alan Wong..that is a good question.
Answer:
Simply..do what millions of people in free societies do..at elections.. oust some big names in the govt. DONT TALK ABOUT IT.DO IT.
VOTE..for the opposition. This will give the PAP a jolt. MAYbe..just maybe..they wil understand that we are all grown up.
Because no point wasting time and writing to the forum of the lap dog ST. They owe their licence to the PAP.
And who is their boss there in any case!!

Supposing some other opposition party like WP or SDP is now in power and play all these kind of dirty politic tricks like what PAP is doing now, ask ourselves this fundamental question :

Can we accept that ?

So why should we allow PAP to get away with playing dirty politics and causing such harm to Singapore ?

Well folks…just a gentle reminder…

PAP Government is PAP Government.

PAP Governement is just a party appointed Government of Singapore.

PAP Government is not the same as Singapore Government…since only 66% out of 43% actual singapore voters vote for the PAP party.

Irony here is in a parliament of 84 MPs…82 are PAP…and only 2 are opposition.

Makes you wonder how come 66% out of the 43% actual voters we can arrived at a figure of 82 PAP MPs out of 84 MPs in parliament.

Really nuts or contrived lah.

this is a tool a ver strong tool that the government can’t let it go. if they do so,then they will be doom in no time as the truth will be out.

singaporeans have been too weak or fear to battle against them include PAP. this had silent many singaporeans in anger towards the government.

year after years MM LEE changes and the evil side of him appear to be seen but not to be question or touch as he is holding a tool of defamation suit and imprisonment and other deadly tool that no one would even think of getting near him. this had make him even stronger and heartless.

he had run the country like a ”singapore pte ltd as mention by some.
it is true indeed. similar if work in a company and you are to listen and take order and only sharing the right things. if you were to voice up,discuss,publish any company bad issue you will be terminate.

this is singaporeans force to live with the only option if things go very down for them would be suicide.

suicide if the only way to walk away from this goverment wrong doing and heartless act for some. i wouldn’t support the idea of suicide but when one have come to that state would they ever think the same as a normal human being? would they feel hope when they are being turn down by the government and their organization( PAP ) itself?

i didn’t see any of a single issue of this news in online citizen that had been publish in straits times. the reason? defamation suit/imprisonment/fine/charges.

if free speech and publication will be given the green light, the government will have to face lots of act and defamation suit/imprisonment and charges against them from the way they run the country and wonder what is hidden on they backyard and their cronies PAP.

we urge singaporeans to consider this coming GE to vote wisely and not vote out of fear which will ruin your future and love ones along with other singaporeans. one singaporeans make alot of different.

if this is what singaporeans are happy to live with then go as you like and prepare to endure the bigger bites you going to face in future. don’t be surprise it make come right after the winning of the election if they win.

we want singapore our singapura and not singapore pte ltd.

Those who are afraid of the light, will do their best to keep everyone and everything in the dark.

This will allow these perpetrators to perform their evil deeds so as to achieve their own agendas.

Welcome to Singapore – a First World created by politicians with a Third World mentality.

Imagine this being New York City, with “Robert Mugabe” – [in his better days] – and a select team of “Mynamar Generals” running the entire city according to their preferred ways.

time to think of of the box, why not use science (bio-med) to fight drug addiction instead?

that would thumb the drug cartels at their noses, knowing that people will no longer be addicted to those stuff!

I am not surprised what the Spore govt does.
Nor does anyone else I suppose.
Its THEIR country. The people just happen to live in it.

But I would have thought..the govt would have ignored it. They would have instructed the lap dog ST not to print anything about it..and the story would never have surfaced in S’pore. Instead they chose to give the international community another laugh about Singapore.

Or if they really want more cred..they should have instructed ST to write a counter article about it. This way,..it would have been fair..for all to see and judge.
(unless of course there is no one at ST who can write an article..like that. That is possibly true.)

Its a laugh when they say. the book is not banned in Singapore, but is apparently hard to purchase because the government has advised bookstores not to stock it.
After all, which bookshop will. If they still want to be in business , after.
