Too bad for the scapegoat because he is born unlucky with less family connections.<br /><br />But, my cousin escape to a less harsh place to have his fun and OD in the process.<br /><br />OD=overdosedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-54335579773257869622009-12-21T20:52:05.167-08:002009-12-21T20:52:05.167-08:00Hi,

'Benign dictatorship', 'managed democracy', 'Confucian society', 'Asian values' ad nauseum - all these weasel-words have but one purpose - to justify and preserve one-party rule on the island for as long as possible by one unworthy family.<br /><br />Fortunately it isn't possible any longer to both educate and brainwash the present generation the way their parents were managed and manipulated. Knowledge of and revulsion against PAP's callous rule is widespread and imperceptibly but inexorably rising like an incoming tide. The sands of time are running out for an 86-year old wartime collaborator who has long overstayed his welcome. The House That Lee Built will fall, that much is certain. We all just need to do our bit to hasten its end.mycroftnoreply@blogger.com
