The Straits Times have shared their archive with the National
Library, and it seems that you can access them from home by having
an account with National Library.
It is a treasure trove of information of events that transpired
in Singapore based on the PAP's version of political issues, and
their preferred visions of anything to do with Singapore's position
on social and cultural developments - other then factual
events.
If you are overseas, you could make an effort to visit the
British National Archive to search the released Official Records
from its Colonial Office.
All along SG news have skewed
towards the ruling elite and is more biased reporting and outright
offensive, not doubt about that...
With regards to the BNA, can a non-citizen get in to view?Pls PM
me
BNA is linked Public
Records Office, whose address given by Google is at
Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1LR, UK - and should be open to the
public.
You may wish to contact
Tim Harper who was said to be teaching Southeast Asian History and
the History of the British Empire at the University of Cambridge in
London; and Greg Pulgrain, a Professor at Griffths University in
Australia, who was said to be researching Southeast Asian History
for more then 20 years.
Both names appeared in the
article : “Lim Chin Siong vs Lee Kuan Yew : The true
and shocking history – Part 1: Our man”
(*1)
No one should bashed one's "own country" - and the
skewed impression given to CSJ's call to Obama has been
deliberated given a twist to suit the political agenda to sully his
name further.
Is it not surreal that the syncophantic insistence continue to
ignore the clear facts made to show the differences in what was
published in the Temasek Review, with what the TS had
printed ?
It is not a surprise that the xenophobic rabble rousers
will double their efforts to stoke up the fire with more
inflammotary efforts so as to light up their xenophobic
heroism in seemingly defending Singapore, even as they hide
their true work to cover the misdeeds of LKY and the PAP on
Singapore and Singaporeans.
TS or ST?!
Not only the TS or ST -
but also the xenophobic X-rated Fraud proven repeatedly to be
an intellectual bankrupt but insist to display its pseudo-intellect
in its characteristic grandstanding style.
Even if FOX is not independent and can be bias in favor of the
Right Wing Politics, at least in the USA there is the immense
opportunity for any other disgusted citizens to set up private
capital to start a competing publication to counter the controlled
bias.
Can this happen in Singapore ?
Afraid NOT when the ruling elite
still holds rein parachuting desk bound jockeys to political
positions and holding skewedviews that destroy our heritage/history
in terms of progress[eg wet market]
Exactly, which explains
the fraudulent claims of peace and progress for the more pragmatic
path to disallow public views that create dissensions, and
distraction to the purpose of national
programs.
Such pragmatic views are
no more then a call for Singaporeans to give LKY and the PAP a
'Blank Cheque' with the word 'TRUST ME' - while they hold
themselves to be non-accountable, and the non-transparent actions
to be explained as "for National Security and
Interest".
Without an alternative and independent publications to
offer alternative opportunities to those maligned by the
State-controlled print and broadcast media - Singaporeans can
only have their views and values moulded and "trained" in
one direction.
Unfortunately, whatever his ideas are that have been reported
are generally skewed by the local print and broadcast medias.
Can he be represented accurately by any local print and
broadcast media ?
Can anyone count on the State controlled print and broadcast
media to provide CSJ or any Politician from the Alternative
Political Parties equal space and time to reach out to Singaporeans
?
Until Singaporeans believe that the PAP has no right to change
the Singapore Constitution to give only themselves the Rights
guaranteed and deny the same to Singaporeans - then nothing that Dr
Chee does will be seen to be credible.
At this stage of the political development, it is retrogressive
- as the generations that lived through the WW-2, the
events of the 1950s till 1965, had the political space
and knew what was political freedom.
The generations that grew from 1965 to 1975 saw the beginning of
the political space; while the generations that were born from 1975
till the present have been nurtured to the values of the PAP that
politics is for the Politicians, and that no one is more qualified
than the elite talents appointed to
political office.
The emphasis is on "appointed" - as LKY
and the PAP believe that only they are the one qualified to select
and annoint who should be in politics, and those that they cannot
accept from their own political judgment to be their partner in
politics will be mowed and shredded.
The older generation regreted
their blatant support for the ruling elite only recently when
they realised that policies are going against them and is more n
more biased in terms of employment, housing, CPF
Should we wait till
we become the future older generation and then begin to regret
?
As matters stand, CPF was
supposed to be made available we retire at the age of 55, then it
was pushed to 60, then 65.
Now instead of changing
the delayed withdrawal age repeatedly, it is more convenient to
change with one stroke of the pen.
The CPF is converted
into a Life Long Old Age self-funded support scheme - with 3
plans designed to confuse, with the old being
burdened to decide either to fend for itself only, or to
leave some for its surviving offsprings.
While the PAP Government
content themselves with milion dollar rewards from the
success of what has been achieved by Singaporean's sacrifices for
Singapore - they will insist the toughest of rules to be imposed on
us.
While they will mindlessly
invest US$100 Billions in dubious investments overseas that
benefit foreign corporate executives, they will be miserly to
Singaporeans with penny pinching program that demand more money to
be paid before any equal amount is given to
match.
The amount of US$100
Billion that was lost in 2008-2009 could have been used to
establish a Trust Fund to help ALL Singaporeans into
perpetuity.
It would have been the
seed money for multiple programs that cover Health, Education, and
Retirement of every Singaporean - young and
old.
Generosity unfortunately
did not begin at Home.
The other danger for Singapore is by the time MM move on from
this world, how much more damage would have occurred for Singapore,
when his ideas are set in concrete and become
institutionalised - to be accepted as the Golden Rules even
by majority of Singaporeans blinded by the false values
created to entrench the PAP ?
When LKY dared to evoke the values of
ancient Confucianism - which had basically
stratified the roles of government and citizenry -
simply to validate the relevance to his and his PAP
style of benevolent autocratic politics, the majority of the
older Chinese educated population lauded his wisdom, only to regret
the political fallout from the decades of his autocratic rule
without the much hoped for benevolence.
It is a surprise that you will hold the view to equate
bashing the PAP Government as bashing Singapore ?
Dr Chee is insisting on breaking an UNLAWFUL Law - that goes
against the grain of the Singapore Constitution which had
guaranteed the Rights of All Singaporeans according to the simple
words written.
Not all Singaporeans are pissed by his actions, although many
feel his actions to be pitiable in that he is seen as butting his
head on a Wall.
Then again, if there is no Dr Chee prepared to stand up - how
many other indignant and concerned Singaporean will be
prepared to stand up like him ?
Many will not even pick up the pen or even enter a forum to
stand on his side, and will prefer to stand safely with the view of
the majority - many of whom simply flow with the values that
were moulded by the daily insinuations from print and
broadcast medias.
Many have resigned themselve to their present fate that PAP is
too strong, and things will change when LKY moved on.
Many have forgotten that LKY is a long term planner and has
already put in place all the mechanism and preparatory works for
the future.
The uncertain future after LKY - remains unspoken, and
those prepared measures remain secret - but rest assured it will
perpetuate and entrench the PAP further into the lives of Singapore
- and Singaporeans will NOT have any say.
Thanks and my reply is in
