Indeed, your blog has created a lot of awareness among Singaporeans, both young and old. I am 24 and this coming election will be my first. I want to be an informed voter has I have been reading up a lot online (all other forms of media here in sg is nothing but BS). Have forwarded your blog to my dad who couldn't stop nodding in agreeement while reading.

You write well and in times to come there will changes and someone has to contiunously encourage Singaporeans to do the same.<br /><br />Those scumbags that left Singapore are losers and leave for their own selfish gains. They are the hopeless lot that leave quietly and never want Singapore to be better than the place the migrated.<br /><br />These cheapsake arseholes want Singapore to fall to make them feel better and think they make the right choice leaving Singapore, but they don't but are just a bunch of scumbags.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-10202812610339822782011-03-07T18:29:53.367-08:002011-03-07T18:29:53.367-08:00To Anonymous March 07,537,

If it was possible for me to enter Singapore without being arrested; if I was living in Singapore instead of California, I would not only have protested, I would have done it everyday.<br />At present, I am prevented from entering Singapore without a visa. Second, even if I could enter, I would be arrested the moment I land for my writings in this blog. So protest for me is impossible.<br /><br />But even if I cannot, I can urge others to do it, becasue that is the only way ahead for democracy in Singpaore just like Egypt and Tunisia. <br /><br />As for the danger of doing it, I am sure Singaporeans are aware of it too, just like you.Gopalan Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399145588654603667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-52237188330931977402011-03-07T18:18:17.044-08:002011-03-07T18:18:17.044-08:00To Anonymous Mar 07, 0516,
Thanks for your concern...To Anonymous Mar 07, 0516,<br />Thanks for your concern. But unlike you, I think these writings serve a very useful purpose of making Singaporeans aware of their sitution, which will make them take action. They may not be forcing a change now, but I can assure you, in time they will.Gopalan Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399145588654603667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-30713170591598497522011-03-07T17:37:38.239-08:002011-03-07T17:37:38.239-08:00Gopalan-- on question.

You know it won't work and the heavy price one will pay, so you do not do it. So, why are you encouraging others to go to the guillotine and sacrifice themselves, while you are unwilling to do so?<br /><br />Yes you have spoken against the government in the 1990s and wrote the blog comment on the judge, and was punished. Yes we know and appreicate that, but have you EVER protested on the streets? Why are you then asking others to go where you do not dare?<br /><br />Does this not ring of hypocisy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-82990957758127312722011-03-07T17:16:02.888-08:002011-03-07T17:16:02.888-08:00Gopalan-- time and again, you publish the truth, b...Gopalan-- time and again, you publish the truth, but you know that nothing can be done about it. Yes, phony election theatrics, a population cowering in fear, excess foreign workers, no jobs, blah, blah, blah--- BUT a resounding win for the PAP and LKY nonetheless every election. We all know why. The question is why do you bother wasting your breath when nothing can or will be done for change? <br /><br />If you are trying to seek revenge on LKY and the Singapore government for what they did to you, you are not actually succeeding are you? They are winning their game, they have won in the past and they will continue to win, fairly or unfairly. Singaporeans are screwed and that is a fact.<br /><br />My question to you is WHY DO YOU BOTHER saying the same thing again and again, knowing nothing can be done. Why not move on to bigger and better things? Give up Singapore politics, as you did when you left the country....<br /><br />PS: I am not a PAP or LKY stooge. I am a Singaporean who HATED them, but like you I migrated abroad and have moved on. I realized the country is hopeless and taking a turn for tehhe worse, but I do not waste my precious time discussing it every day. Why not you do the same?<br /><br />please Gopalan, get some peace in you soul and let the past go. What they did to you is wrong, but you have a wonderful family and a new life in the United States. Do not taint it with bitterness and pain. It is hard, but please let it go for your own sake. <br /><br />Please do reply to this... I mean well for you and do not mean any hard feelings or to cause you pain,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-90104112784690710022011-03-07T09:34:13.227-08:002011-03-07T09:34:13.227-08:00I just celebrated PAP election win for 2011, with ...I just celebrated PAP election win for 2011, with a better margin because the opposition decided to field candidates in all seats and the voters decided that - like a bird staying in a broken cage feel safer than flying away - so more will voted for PAP. <br /><br />If I am wrong, Singapore will be financially broke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
