This is only a test case, there were many others who were deprived of their freedom by Lee Kuan Yew pointing a finger at them and branded communists, Marxists, terrorists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-22806810935240818622011-01-16T19:09:26.770-08:002011-01-16T19:09:26.770-08:00Freedom from dictatioship in Singapore means first...Freedom from dictatioship in Singapore means first of all to get rid of Lee Kuan Yew. The constant drumbeat about communists in the past has made fools of the people of Singapore for so long and it operates to maintain the very unfair state of affairs for his political adversaries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-77631025322506328662011-01-16T04:37:57.139-08:002011-01-16T04:37:57.139-08:00The Internal Security Act is gone pass its use by ...The Internal Security Act is gone pass its use by date. McCarthyism was the grand ploy of the Internal Security Act of the 50s and 60s.<br /><br />Operation Coldstore and Operation Spectrum were excesses of McCarthyism used in unsubstantiated accusations and demagogic attacks on the character of political adversaries.<br /><br />More particularly it was used by Lee Kuan Yew to silence dissent. Nowhere else in the world is<br />there detention without trial for unprescribed periods.<br /><br />Even in Israel where national security is far more sensitive an issue the detention period is six months.<br /><br />If in reality there is national security in issue, the military can be easily mobilised to curb those genuine incursions, not to abuse the Internal Security Act to silence political adversaries.<br /><br />Let the Singaporeans be educated on McCarthyism, why isn't this concept widely publicised in Singapore local press is because Lee Kuan Yew is using it in the true sense of McCarthyism and not all his bullshit communist propaganda. Not once was McCarthyism explained to the people in an editorial in the press media controlled by the State.<br /><br />The truth must now prevail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-75809717635596673282011-01-16T00:16:58.099-08:002011-01-16T00:16:58.099-08:00The Singapore type of running its country has a pr...The Singapore type of running its country has a profound effect on the people. We are increasing seeing Singaporeans overseas behaving badly and have attitudes that are embarrassing overseas (and they did not realize the offense they caused) <br /><br />Eg. Singaporeans do not seems to like to open their mouth to ask anything (eg excuse me, is this seat taken, etc) and just go ahead to knock into the other person or occupying seats in fast food outlets and throwing the occupants' bags on the floor when they are ordering food. So, they are seen as rude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
