Singapore claims "Peoples Association attracting more professionals". But what sort of professionals are they anyway?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Singapore state controlled newspaper the Straits Times of Aug 26, 2012, has the story "Peoples association attracting more professionals". Firstly we don't even know whether this report is indeed true; after all it comes from a state controlled newspaper (all newspapers in Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore are state controlled as independent newspapers are not allowed unless they submit to government censors).

Second even if the report was true, these people must be somewhat wanting in character.

Singapore is an island without the freedoms that you find in democracies. A state controlled press, no freedom of speech expression or assembly, no rule of law, a government of the Lee Ruling Family which run the island as if it were their own.

Peoples Association is a branch or extension of this fascist government. It is an organization which Singapore's Lee Ruling Family uses, among other state organizations such as the Residents Committees from which to select and groom their supporters for high office, not unlike the practices of the Chinese Communist Party.

Professionals who have an education, and are not illiterate, are fully aware of the nature of the Lee Ruling Family's Singapore government. And they are also fully aware that by joining the People’s Association, they are in fact accepting the government's corruption, the stifling of the press and the denial of the people's fundamental rights.

Therefore these professionals, lawyers and doctors are either Fascists or are persons who join the Association for personal profit, because there is a good chance that they will  be selected to serve the Singapore autocrat Lee Kuan Yew and his government, which means money; a lot of money.

As the need to exaggerate is great for the Singapore government, since great numbers of professionals and skilled citizens are leaving the island for settlement abroad, because they find distasteful to either live and work in a dictatorship, very probably the numbers who are willing to sell  their souls such as these are just a handful.

But even so, you can imagine the very low caliber of these professionals who can find no other means to make a decent living but to please the dictator of Singapore, and thereby repress their fellow citizens, and thereby even achieve success.

A pretty disgraceful way to make a living indeed.

On the other hand the real professionals, those with some pride and principles are unwilling to join such organizations and in any case would not be allowed to join anyway. I am talking of men such as Chee Soon Juan, a determined Lee Kuan Yew opponent. He is well qualified to join the Association, with a Doctorate in Psychology and a real desire to serve Singaporeans. But you know that Lee would not accept him into the Association at any cost. Why, because he has a mind of his own unlike a dog that waits at the feet of his master and willing to do anything he wants, as is the case with these Peoples Association candidates.
