I am a very good boy. I have learned everything from the PAP education. When I start to work overseas and S'pore is in trouble - gets invaded, gets shitted on, gets insulted - DON'T call me for support OK? I don't want to offend my host country by protesting or even sign a petition.
We Singaporeans are perceived by many to be politically apathetic. However, this is one of the few occasions where we take a stand and publicly express our abhorrence at what the Myanmar military junta is doing to its people, we are subjected to intimidation by the Police. Very strange !
Our Singapore policeman taking photos of protesters are not very different from those Burmese soldiers who shoot at civilians and monks. They are just taking orders.
They should quit if there's no honour in their jobs.
Yes, they are simply taking orders blindly?????????
The 'pink run' was another good example
I really don't understand Myanmar military junta, why so much of killing and bloodshed. Why can they do it the decent way, and have a ISA act. Just label all the protesters communist and throw them in. Get a few to confess and your done. Does not matter if the biggest trading partner is also the biggest commi in the world..They just don't learn do they..
Myanmar should copy the tactics of Singapore and put in place laws that can deal with dissdents.
No need to use raw force.
Just use law like ISA or cannot gather in public loh.
Dissidents all label as commie loh.
No need to have evidence also.
Learn from Singapore lah Myanmar.
Expats go when their terms are up. Locals stay and they can vote.
Now, who is really afriad of voters?
From BBC (3/10/07) News Website:
"'Sleep deprivation'
But the Burmese authorities have shown no signs of responding to international pressure. ... A former Burmese political prisoner, who spent a decade in jail for criticising the regime, said it was safe to assume from his own experiences that many of those detained would be tortured.
"The monks will have a very hard time," he said. "I was blindfolded and subjected to sleep deprivation. They interrogated me in shifts for 11 days." "
Wait a minute. Wasn't that what the detainees in our 1987-1988 laughable "Marxist Conspiracy" revealed to us before they were re-arrested for revealing this to us? Our current PM then made the famous retort to the effect: Hey look, chums, being interrogated is not like attending a tea-party you know.
The Burmese thugs are taking a leaf from our ISD ..erhm.. officers. Or is it the other way round? Now I understand the meaning of "cross-cultural" exchanges. School lessons should be taught this way; then I will get "A*s" for all my subjects.
I just wonder how great can a country be if its leaders are devoid of compassion.
So LKY, I have completely lost my respect for u & yr PM son when both of u chose not offend the Myammar junta.

Why was there no follow on bankruptcy then? The bailout of AIG FP went to (wow power leveling) hedge funds that bound credit swaps on Lehman failing or others betting on rating (wow power leveling) declines. AIG has drained over 100 billion from the government. Which had to go to (wow power leveling) those who bet on failures and downgrades. Many of whom (power leveling)were hedge funds. I-banks that had offsetting swaps needed the money from the AIG bailout or they would have been caught. Its an (wow powerleveling) insiders game and it takes just a little bit too much time for most people to think (wow gold) through where the AIG 100 billion bailout money went to, hedge funds and players, many of whom hire from the top ranks of DOJ, Fed, Treasury, etc. ZHANG XIAO CHEN
