I was not persecuted for that but instead received a letter stating that there is now a govt agency that checks into and takes action against such discrimination.<BR/>With regards to the corrupt judges and politics, as you mentioned about the Muslim and lying, and answering to God, I believe is the same with all religion, including mine.<BR/>I think you and those who oppose the Singapore govt and Mr Lee, should consider yourselves lucky you are not born in countries like India that has govt and police that encourage, plan, and support killing those who oppose them (even innocent children) and destroying their places of worship and I was a witness to the police killing an innocent victim but could do nothing out of fear for the safety of my uncle's family who neighbor was the victim:<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipy00vF0hj4&feature=relatedkaursarjithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786228108333014445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-7493902489792773622008-11-04T05:44:00.000-08:002008-11-04T05:44:00.000-08:00I've never been too interested in politics before ...I've never been too interested in politics before in the past.

Even John Howard who has served for 11 years and had brought great progress to the nation has been voted off. The votes were merely few percentages close.

There are other people who, though disagree with you and your intentions, will stand next to you if , IF only you be true to your words. Alas dear Sir, you know what you said, i see lies oozing out of your public statements. I see the usual lies from lawyers, twisting things to milk the maximum juice out of them. When will you admit that this is a personal vendetta? When will you tell the truth? i will stand next to you if only you will find the strength to be HONEST. And who am i ? I am a Singaporean Sir!, If i choose not to Burn Flags, and do street protests does it make me apathetic ? i fight everyday, from HERE, i fight through the system. The resistance i get , unfortunately is not from the Govt, but from the people.

Character makes a person, and you have what matters the most: Confidence and a sense of Upright and Justice.<BR/><BR/>I have reading your blog with a sense of open mindedness. Here in school, we are now thought "critical thinking" where we are thought to question everything AND anything, which includes the Government, the teachers and your opinoin. <BR/><BR/>I must conclude with you that the Singapore Government IS corrupted in that it bends the law to its benefit but it is NOT corrupted where it comes to monetary matters, so we must be thankful for that.<BR/><BR/>However, we must also take note that without this political system that we have, Singapore would be nothing compared to what it is now. And thought some of you might be willing to trade what you have now for a fishing village, many others will not. Face it, if Lee Kuan Yew dies, and what you say comes true, life for us in SIngapore will be chaotic and disastrous. Lee Kuan Yew has been working his butt off for us and I believe that we should thank him for that.<BR/><BR/>I still applaude you for your bravery in this blog and all.

People are constantly trying to change the main government, saying that they are corrupt, unfair, scheming etc. For example, the Taiwanese people demonstrated again when their new President is not even a year in office, saying that he is not bringing in his promises. Another one would be Thailand. They are always trying to bring down the ex-Prime Minister Mr Samak and his Cabinet, linking them to the corrupted Thaksin. So what are we trying to achieve? Chaos or peace? Even if one day you or some opposition party were to have the majority of the votes and bring down the main party, does that mean that you will succeed in maintaining the prosperity and success that Singapore has enjoyed? Or can you even vouch or predict that your fellow ministers are not corrupted in some way such that they would not bring shame to the country? What can you give the people when you are just trying to sneer at the leaders, ridicule them, bring them down etc? You are not showing your capability as a leader who can lead the people. In any sense, from what I see, it is all just a vendetta and personal hatred. I think there should be some mentality changes in you because just by using your flowery language in ridiculing people doesn't help you achieve the freedom people want. Your determination is needed but your way of achieving your goal is not. Anyway, the current leaders who are in power may not be always around. Everyone is mortal. Let's just see whether the world would change for the better like what you intended to or whether the past is something to be cherished about. Nobody knows the future not even you or me. If the opposition says they can ensure this and that, then I think it's all talk. It is similar for the current government. But as far as I know, Singapore is not doomed or going downhill like Japan, or poor like the Africans or having diseases and beggars on every street that you can see. At least I know, Singapore is still going up or maintaining. They have at least proven the minimum of promises, didn't they. If you can, show the evidence, not using your mouth to show it. Action speaks louder than words and when I mean by action, it means doing something for the people not for yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-54681497099478755392008-09-18T03:34:00.000-07:002008-09-18T03:34:00.000-07:00A video dedicated to you<A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBmwPhPdn1A" REL="nofollow">A video dedicated to you</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-7698354240187070152008-09-18T01:19:00.000-07:002008-09-18T01:19:00.000-07:00sorry to hear that you have became a political pri...sorry to hear that you have became a political prisoner of the Lee regime. <BR/><BR/>But on the bright side, this new qualification could just make your book a bestseller when you are freed.<BR/><BR/>Is 3 months (or less if well behaved) enough for you to write your new book.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, i believe in Karma - that justice will be served for you eventually.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
