The book reminds me a lot about my fellow Singaporeans who believe that the sun shines out of Lee Kuan Yew's backside, just because he says so. Need I say more?<BR/><BR/>As for the lily-livered lawyers, I'm not at all surprised. Surely you know them better than I do. Perhaps they also secretly oppose the totalitarian rule of LKY, but dare not speak out. Then again, what good is a lawyer who doesn't pursue justice, eh?<BR/><BR/>To borrow a word from Elton's novel, we the citizens of Singapore must "EVOLVE" and bring this tyrannical Lee dynasty down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-76236630648630052472008-12-23T16:22:00.000-08:002008-12-23T16:22:00.000-08:00Norman,It is Lee, not Yew.

And if think Singapore will remain the same, that again is a view you are entitled to have. Many others may think otherwise.<BR/><BR/>As to my not going back to Singapore, you are right. I was deported. And even if they grant me permission to go back, I will not since I am already in contempt of their courts since my return to US, making me liable to arrest and imprisonment if I set foot there.<BR/><BR/>This blog will continue. And there will be other forms of resistence from me from here against that dictatorship. <BR/><BR/>If you think Singapore is going on fine and my actions do not matter, why then are you criticizing what I do. Surley it should not matter in the least.Gopalan Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399145588654603667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-58231405215579695132008-12-22T22:49:00.000-08:002008-12-22T22:49:00.000-08:00I do not find anything wrong for Mr Nair to expose...I do not find anything wrong for Mr Nair to expose the two laywers as long as his account was truthful. <BR/><BR/>The two lawyers are also officers of the court and they have pledged to be truthful and to pursue and defend justice.

Luckily for the US, the election system continues to work. Too bad for S'pore, which is no different than the other nepotistic regimes in the region.

These frauds who claim a professional status do need to be exposed by naming and shaming them to their friends, families, colleagues, and the general public.<BR/><BR/>However this shaming is not of the type practised by that thug Lee Kuan Yew, who exploits a cultural weakness (of not losing face) in the population to advance his political ambition of total domination.<BR/><BR/>Instead, this shaming has its basis in the exercise of accountability that exists in true democracies, particularly in the discharge of public duties. <BR/><BR/>You previously wrote that the DPP's witnesses were loathe to account to the public by revealing their proper names in our supposed courts of law. That would be an example of the strong tendency in the government towards non-accountability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-53424209501771135732008-12-21T06:18:00.000-08:002008-12-21T06:18:00.000-08:00Dude, not cool that u name other lawyers.Dude, not cool that u name other lawyers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-77528963037511417872008-12-21T05:08:00.000-08:002008-12-21T05:08:00.000-08:00Hi GopalanAs an ordinary Singaporean I find your a...Hi Gopalan<BR/><BR/>As an ordinary Singaporean I find your account of the two lawyers rather distasteful as they have no right of reply.Their political affliation is their own business and you have no right to lambast them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-17360016520417960332008-12-21T00:14:00.000-08:002008-12-21T00:14:00.000-08:00M Amaladass passed away via heart-attack on 19 Dec...M Amaladass passed away via heart-attack on 19 Dec in JB whilst golfing.<BR/>I agree with u 100%.
