imprisoned by PAP regime?

Aug 10 2010

Dear friends, fellow artists and activists from Singapore and the world over, I will be in prison for 2 weeks starting from tomorrow, August 11.

I've been arrested and put in lock-up for single days a few times, but this will be my first actual prison term. Here is a BBC article which mentions my views on it near the end, but with incorrect dates:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-10849942

We will resume correspondence upon my release. Take care and keep the faith.

Moment you born here, you already in BIG BIG island PRISON guarded by Gurkhas. You just go to smaller prison with less freedom and privaledges. That is why everybody is fleeing the island.

Let us have a poll on what you think is the reason(s) why singaporeans always get bullied by our government.

a. Singaporeans are dumb and believe everything the government says.

b. Opposition parties are weak so nobody to stand up for us.

c. Singaporeans worship LKY as their idol and thinks that he is always right.

d. Singaporeans have no balls to go against the government.

e. Singaporeans are actually smart but they just act stupid.

f. Singaporeans likes to get bullied by our govt.

g. Others. State your own reason

g. Because we have Singaporeans who believe foolishly that votes can be tracked, when the serial number is nothing but a scare tactic

but why should people follow the rules?

did PAP follow the rules?

yes PAP followed the rules.

Why leh? Cuz they can change the rules to fit their objectives, i.e. GRC system and gerrymeandering.

That said, the system of meritocracy is wonderful. It empowers the able.

Welfare is indeed lacking, but we can't have a bunch of people complaining and begging for $$ from the govt everyday. What more welfare do people want? Being able to have $1k a month from the govt if unemployed?

In terms of income tax, below a certain salary, you do not even need to pay for income tax.

Certainly, the government can do more in terms of welfare, but how far can we go?

Of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance, what Buddha called 'the greatest evil in the world.'

The friction which results from ignorance can be reduced only by the spread of knowledge and the unification of the heterogeneous elements of humanity. No effort could be better spent.

As long as u win more seats.

Like USA president get more votes not equal win the president seat.

President seat must see now many electoral college u win.

Prime Minister is elected by the elected MPs, so with a majority of PAP MPs inside, you think they will vote a Worker party MP as PM??? u siao or not?

If here can compare with US of A, long long I become lady Gaga liao

Singapore doesn't really need an opposition party/parties, unlike other countries.

As long as the Government continue to produce beneficial polices for the betterment of the country and its people, opposition parties will automatically be nullified.

They don't deserved to run the country if they cannot figure that out.

For show, they need the opposition, what you said is true, we dun need opposition, but without opposition, this place sound undemocratic, so Govt implanted opposition to their liking so that to the outside world, we still got opposition, election and certainly, a social democratic society base on justice and equality.

Because placing 100% faith in anyone or any system results in your arse being screwed.

That is what's happening to Singaporeans now.

When you go into a partnership business with your friends, you trust your friends.

Do you let them handle all the banking and accounting system?

βέτά SG

In this world, you can't put complete faith or trust in one person or system, you need contingencies, checks and balances to prevent a person or system from exploiting you.

why people like to mix business entities with political entities...that is completely crazy

You have missed the forrest for the trees again.

Do they call you bai wu long in your KTV?

It's about TRUST, it's not about business.

I could have changed business partners to husband/wife relationship and it would still be the same situation.

True....Thats what happens in Singapore right now without the system.

You know we Chinese got a saying,"If u are right,be confident and stick with it".

But as we all know,LKY is wrong n yet he is soo stubborn n refuse to accept the fact that autocracy cant work in Singapore.And he keep using his power to subdue n use his propaganda to tell the whole world that he is right.

Its like he thought using his power to subdue others n tell them 100 times that the moon is square,not round,they will eventually give way n believe him.What a fag!!!!

Tanrave SG

Wrong is wrong,no matter how u twist n turn,how u try to deny it,its still a wrong!!!

Fire Cracker SG

Politics is mend to be dirty, what trust are you talking about, as long as they can delivery some 60% of what they preached, that is good enough a govt to vote for, if they said, you will get educated, have good meals, free to move, a good place to live with no shortage of transport, water and electricity, as a citizen, an equal opportunity base on meritocracy and hard work, when all these are fulfilled, what do you want to complaint further. If you want to complaint about your pathetic paid, your lousy life, your poor working condition, your dirty house problem, that is may fall on the 40% that the govt can help only a little. You got to be realistic about what and who and where you are before pointing yr finger at the govt when you find no way out of your lousy life ya.
