Singapore. Living in fear weakens the spirit.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

In my last blog "Singapore's top criminal lawyer defends beating (caning) as a punishment", I wrote about Singapore's Subhas Anandan, whom the Singapore population consider their best lawyer; yet he will not defend any opposition politician. His disgraceful words by which he has been known goes something like this "I will defend anyone including murderers, rapists, even terrorists. But please don't ask me to defend political dissidents" (Singapore Lee Kuan Yew's political opponents.

Anyone who knows Singapore will tell you the reason why he will not defend (Lee's) political dissidents. If he does, Lee Kuan Yew will abuse the law, go after him with false charges, his career will be ruined and he will end up in jail. Not wanting that to happen, in Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore, this so-called top Singapore criminal lawyer, out of fear for Lee Kuan Yew and to advance his legal career, denies representation to opposition politicians.

A lawyer such as this who denies representation to his fellow citizens like Dr. Chee Soon Juan should be ashamed of himself. He would in any other country in the world. Indeed, it would even be considered unethical for a lawyer to refuse the defence of those in need. Yet in the warped Singaporean logic, even though he would be considered a coward and a bad lawyer in any other country; he is, in lee Kuan Yew's Singapore, considered the best. In Singapore, cowardice such as this, is not something bad, it is a virtue, and a normal sensible respectable way to survive.

Imagine Subhas Anandan's wife, she too would very probably be just a coward like him. And what will she teach her children in Singapore, of course to become cowards just like his father.

Fear of Lee Kuan Yew and what he will do to you if you contradict him, has been so ingrained into the Singaporean psyche so much so that it is no longer shameful to be living in fear. It become an acceptable way of life, in fact, it is considered the only sensible way to survive in Singapore.

As a result you see the shameful actions of these people.

Subhas Anadan refuses to defend Singapore's political opponents of Lee Kuan Yew. The Law Society President, Sydney Michael Hwang, makes no complaint when the Singapore Constitution is violated so much so that even a one man peaceful protest becomes illegal. Everyone is very happy to read the Straits Times even though they know it is nothing more than propaganda. Sydney Michael Hwang, tells his children to be just like him and earn a living in the same disgraceful way.

Lee Kuan Yew's entire civil service, a bunch of cowardly yes men do exactly what Lee Kuan Yew orders however wrong. They go home and tell their children to be exactly like them, simply cowards.

And day in and day out we hear of Singapore's so called accomplishments. They have acquired a tin mine in Mali West Africa. Keppel ship works is running the port in Colombo. Singapore airlines has set up an office in Timbuktu. Tumasek has acquired a hotel in Cairo. But really will all this activity do any good for any real Singaporean? Firstly if there are anyone running any of this, they are all foreigners anyway; no benefit to Singaporeans. And in any case, the profits of all this go directly into Lee Kuan Yew and his family and son's pockets, not to any Singaporeans.

And while all this activity worldwide in the name of Singapore Inc goes on, Singaporeans continue to live in fear, refuse to have any babies and the few who are able to see the ruse, pack up and leave.

And what is left are these unqualified ignorant dummies and the cowards like Subhas Anandan who is afraid to defend a single one of Lee Kuan Yew's political opponents.

This Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore with lawyers like Subhas Anandan is a laughable country. Despite the glorious stories daily in the state controlled press, it is not a country that is capable of going anywhere.

I tell you, Singapore continues to decline fast, fast becoming another bankrupt Nauru of the Pacific, whose phosphate had run out.
