That honour goes to the infamous Singapore maid. I told my Singapore sister to treat her maid better, but to deaf ears because the maid is her punching bag after a stressful work day.<br /><br />There is even a game in Talkingcock to see how many maid can you save, fall from HDB flats.<br /><br />A First-World nation for some, those who are able to exploit other humans. Hope this will backfire after Lee Kuan Yew dies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-63029557782381754772011-02-16T21:01:24.941-08:002011-02-16T21:01:24.941-08:00In Canada there is a subject taught in many law fa...In Canada there is a subject taught in many law faculties, namely Human Rights law. <br />This subject is obviously unheard of in Singapore.<br />The whole country is becoming disgusting and spineless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-33765882991086041052011-02-16T19:20:37.053-08:002011-02-16T19:20:37.053-08:00As far as civil liberties go Singapore is a fourth...As far as civil liberties go Singapore is a fourth world country on par with Myanmar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-87567528134046687042011-02-16T00:44:58.228-08:002011-02-16T00:44:58.228-08:00Great article!

Shame on you Singapore lawyers, even the People's Republic of China and Cuba have signed but yet to ratify. On the other hand Singapore have neither signed nor ratified and rank with the following countries.<br /><br />Neither signed nor ratified<br />Antigua and Barbuda <br />Bhutan <br />Brunei <br />Burma (Myanmar) <br />Fiji <br />Kiribati <br />Malaysia <br />Marshall Islands <br />Micronesia <br />Oman <br />Palau <br />Qatar <br />Saint Kitts and Nevis <br />Saint Lucia <br />Saudi Arabia <br />Singapore <br />Solomon Islands <br />Tonga <br />Tuvalu <br />United Arab Emirates <br />Vatican City (through the Holy See) <br /><br />What fucking first world oasis are you talking about Mr Lee Kuan Yew.<br /><br />President Obama or Secretary Clinton please take note of this.<br /><br />Lawyers in Singapore are duds with no concern for civil and political rights of a basic human being created with unalienable rights of civil liberties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
