I weep when I read the news. Not for myself, but for my fellow
citizens.
For the millions who had endured the pain of the financial
crisis, that is not of our doing but some selfish bizmen in US, and
now to suffer the ignomity of having their country branded as a
human rights abuser, not to mentioned the backlash by simple
americans who know not better and the truth. Who is the govt but
elected representatives of the people?
I weep for our students studying overseas being subjected to
abuses and snide remarks, as if our motherland is some african
corrupt backwater dictatorship.
I weep for our bizmen and entreprenuers who had been trying hard
to get a foothold into the american economy, who will now face
little or no support from the misguided american public, fed by a
largely sensationalistic media to stoke up the flames, who cares
not for rights, but their bottomline for revenue.
All our nation's effort gone to waste. And for what? For that
son of a bitch outlaw, who is never a representative of the people,
let alone a constituency, for his outlaw ass. He complains of being
victimised by the govt because he is an opposition political
member.
But does that means he is above the law, break laws that is
across the board and meant for all equals? He was judged by our
independant judiciary most made up of lawyers fromt the private
sector.
Had any other opposition political figure been victimised?
What human rights had we citizens been denied?
How had we been abused, or tortured, for our political beliefs,
other than a greater need to put food on our tables for ourselves
and espacially for our children, which is still within our own and
collective efforts even in this crisis?
I weep, real tears. Once the US media goes to town with
the news, all our hardwork, sacrifice and efforts
would have gone to waste. By this selfish man, who was given a fair
trial and found guilty.
I weep, as if not enough that his supporters whitewashed brutual
commie activities here in Singapore in the 60s, they continue to
twist words, and whitewash that outlaw's shit thrown upon our faces
and efforts.
But the time will come when the weeping is over and action would
be necessary. I had respect for Chiam as growing adult and his
party, but it is now a mockery in the hands of the outlaw and his
band with the whitewashing and doom inflicted upon us by their
selfish desire to rule, .
