Your brave words are just another puff of the chest of a monkey living in an ivory tower. <br /><br />No one cares anymore - or even remotely thinks about you - and you go back to the sorry life that you know it as. <br /><br />Totally happy being a US citizen? <br /><br />I bet not.

The people just has to vote them out despite threats by LKY that he will send in the army if his team lost to the oppositions. His tyranny is well known and literally puts the pigs on Animal Farm to shame.<br /><br />I look forward to real democracy soon and I pray all these leeches in power now will pay for their crimes against the people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-70227077420778406712009-06-26T23:56:05.717-07:002009-06-26T23:56:05.717-07:00As you can see, most of the comments are all under...As you can see, most of the comments are all under Anonymous... we don't want to be sent to prison by our <i>very dear</i> leader LKY, just like you were.

In the ending part, Mr. Slade (Pacino) said these in the auditorium “ ……. Now I have come to the crossroads in my life. I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew, but I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard. Now here’s Charlie. He’s come to the crossroads. He has chosen a path, it’s the right path. It’s a path make of principle. That leads to character……” well, you had chosen the hard one, be it. It’s hard to tell what you did was right or wrong, but a bit careless. In the same movie, Al Pacino said these “…….I’m here to tell you, this boy’s soul is intact. ….. There was a time I could see. And I have seen, boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that……….. I don’t know if Charlie’s silence here today is right or wrong; I’m not a judge or jury. But I can tell you this; he won’t sell anybody out to buy his future! And that, my friends, is called integrity. That’s called courage. Now that’s the stuff leaders should be made of……..” just to share with you guys. Good luck.<BR/><BR/>skAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-21630435685192993502009-02-20T16:44:00.000-08:002009-02-20T16:44:00.000-08:00Of course everyone would be asking, why did I taun...Of course everyone would be asking, why did I taunt Lee Kuan Yew that why? Truly, the only answer I have is this. I was outraged. Indignant, angry that this Judge Belinda Ang Saw Ean can treat her court proceedings in such a shamelessly brazenly baised fashion. The world had to know it. And if no one in Singapore was going to say it, I was, come what may.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I had to go to jail and all that. But on reflection I did the right thing. I am proud of myself. There was a risk, but I was prepared to take it. What I did not know was the extent of it.<BR/><BR/>My intent was to expose this corrupt judiciary. I succeeded handsomely.Gopalan Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399145588654603667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-80921538774642641332009-02-20T16:17:00.000-08:002009-02-20T16:17:00.000-08:00Why did Lee Kuan Yew do it?Recall what you blogged...<B><I>Why did Lee Kuan Yew do it?</I></B><BR/><BR/>Recall what you blogged when you arrived in Singapore: <I>"Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, look here. I am now within your jurisdiction and that of your corrupt police and your corrupt judiciary who will do anything you want of them, however criminal and illegal. <B>What are you going to do about it?</B>"</I><BR/><BR/>That was a tight slap across the face of someone notorious for his monstrous ego and his legendary vindictiveness towards anyone who refuses to kowtow to his whim. There was simply no way he could accept that loss of face without a response. In fact your cheek probably gave him heartburn and contributed to his requiring a pacemaker later.<BR/><BR/>The late President of Singapore, Devan Nair, recounted Lee's rage when J.B. Jeyaratnam won the Anson by-election 1981: <I>"I was amazed at how he fretted and fumed like a caged fury. And I will never forget his last words. 'I will make him crawl on his bended knees, and beg for mercy'".</I> JBJ, as we all know, declined the indignity of course. <BR/><BR/>True to form, Lee did not confront your challenge directly. Instead he used his proxies, Judge Belinda Ang and the police, to frame you with trumped-up charges. Not for nothing does Said Zahari, one of Lee's Operation Coldstore victims who spent 17 years in jail without charge or trial, contemptuously call Lee Kuan Yew 'a political coward'.<BR/><BR/>I was quite astonished that you failed to recognise the man's vicious sociopathic nature and prepare a Plan B before tweaking his nose the way you did. Still, the best laid plans of mice and men and all that...<BR/><BR/>There is no doubt that Lee Kuan Yew's stock is hovering on empty with most Singaporeans today. When the economic tide went out, it showed in stark relief what we'd always suspected but could never quite prove - an emperor with no clothing and even less integrity.
