You will seem to be meddling in Singapore's business. You are setting a very bad example to people in Singapore. If you should succeed in this court case, others may soon think that the best way to change Singapore's system is to emigrate and then return, knowing that the embassies of their new country's will assist them in any issues or problems that may crop up.."<BR/><BR/>panter92 ,<BR/>If you can't change the system here 'in the box' because the gahmen controlling and surrounding the box then you ought to 'think out of the box' to do it. The government know that the people here are taught and bring up to think in the box and play by the rule so as not to jeopardise their oppressive regime of money-making family business out of expense of the citizen here. So people who emigrated and return play their part to expose the regime.<BR/><BR/>"You are setting a very bad example to people in Singapore."<BR/>So did you blow out of proportion ? Who is the badiest example ? The PAP or Nair ? So what you going to do with the bad example of PAP ? Nothing ?

You don't know me, but I won't be surprised if one day my identity gets uncovered. In fact, I might just one day, stand vigil at the police station and approach you that is, if I muster up enough courage. First of all, let me start by saying how much of an inspiration you are to me.<BR/><BR/>I must admit, I am not a hardcore dissident, the only reason being my not knowing much, but just enough to make me aware of the unfairness and unjust I am surrounded in in this country we're held in.<BR/><BR/>I salute you for your strength. I know I might sound stupid by saying this, but at 19 years of age, I feel extremely oppressed even though I am not in direct contact with the <I>atas</I>.<BR/><BR/>For one, I have always wanted to get away from this country; my earliest memory of the sort was when I was merely 14. I have always wanted to go to a European country to further my studies for I speak a European language and also because I believe I would be given far more opportunities given my being a foreign talent if I were to go abroad. You see, here in Singapore, I am a minority race. The longer I am exposed to the government-controlled media-marginalizing and the stereotypes injected into the lemming-brains of my dear fellow Singaporeans, the more I realise there's nothing in it for me for the whole country views my race as "rats". Recently, my group's project won a few commendable awards from local "big-name" organisations. Next week I will be forced into attending an interview for some programme for a channel catered to the people of my race. All this hype because I am of a minority race <I>and</I> because I am female. I do not believe in such media-monger. But I have no other choice else my parents will bludgeon me and so will my alma mater (be proud of your race! make the school proud!). Believe me when I say I feel oppressed. I am not allowed to my own conscience and opinion.<BR/><BR/>Once, a few years ago, when I was fully charged with "teen angst", I posted a blog entry, expressing my unhappiness at my then-best friend's parents who abused her physically, emotionally and mentally, her parents threatened to bring me to court for defamation and forced their daughter to make me remove the entry. At a wee age of 16 (compared to a pair of 50-plus year olds), how else do you think I felt? I was scared shitless. I became so paranoid, it gnawed at my nerves incessantly. Looking back, I now know I wasn't in the wrong. I was merely standing for my beliefs (and basic constitutional rights) and my friend's well-being.<BR/><BR/>I don't have much to say except for a simple "Hang in there". I am lost for better words. You have my utmost support.<BR/><BR/>One day, when I can support myself fully, I will make it a point to get out of this hellhole (that is if people are still working for the government when really the government should be working for US, the PEOPLE, the CITIZENS). Until then, I will have to remain anonymous, a hermit, a disabled but never a blind follower.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I do not mind if they revoke my university admission if I am found out. Being "stupid" is better than being misinformed.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-92032079932362183652008-06-19T11:45:00.000-07:002008-06-19T11:45:00.000-07:00Hi Mr NairHang in there!

I would emigrate if I ever had the opportunity to. With regards to migration, alot of Singaporeans actually hold the same perspective, but unfortunately not all are not brave enough to voice their opinion due to the suffocating and hostile climate that does not encourage political participation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-18295727055149210712008-06-19T07:28:00.000-07:002008-06-19T07:28:00.000-07:00i m an overseas singaporean, dread to go back to s...i m an overseas singaporean, dread to go back to singapore.<BR/><BR/>i have been following your update here. don't worry about that people like panter82 say, he's probably some trollers trying to dishearten you.<BR/><BR/>thank you Nair for updating us. i salute your courage and perserverance!<BR/><BR/>the PAP ministers have said that they welcome foreign talents. are foreign talents only expected to work and keep their mouths shut?<BR/><BR/>more and more overseas singaporeans are disgusted with the way the singapore government handle domestic issues, and the singapore government is unable to attract the top talents to singapore because the bad bame of singapore has been stubbornly imprinted on most people's mind.<BR/><BR/>the current case is getting to more people that the singapore government is really one that is good at nothing but bullying.<BR/><BR/>thank you again, and i hope you will fight on and i believe victory will be yours!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-68769314661149196032008-06-19T05:21:00.000-07:002008-06-19T05:21:00.000-07:00You shouldn't have migrated overseas.. by doing so...You shouldn't have migrated overseas.. by doing so, it will negate any of your good intentions for this country.

Its very pathetic how they have to resort to intimidation strategies like pretending to have found something and then talking in whispers. I hope that, seriously, someone big elsewhere in the world says or does something. I'd like to see what bullshit the MM will say this time. <BR/><BR/>Have faith that there are intelligent people out there backing you, also people who arent spineless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
