i am never a PAP supporters. i understand what atobe and ah chia
are writing about. singaporeans do know we are repress, suppress,
and ruling with iron fist. why do they still win evert election. my
mom is more concern with cleaniness of the living area than
politics. my sister is more concern with her rice bowl as she is
civil servant. my good friends are more concern about soccer than
who running temasek. i mean singaporeans are fine tune to
such a extend to the propaganda of the PAP that we are not concern
with who run the country. and many of my uni grads friends think
NTUC is a subwing of PAP. sad isnt it?
It is sad that LKY will leave behind a legacy of a population
that no longer has the fire in the belly to be involved in
politics.
Can such a Citizen have the fire to stand-up for Singapore ?
Can a Singaporean have the tenacity of an Iraqi to stand-up to
fight against any foreign occupation in the same manner that the
Iraqis stood-up to fight a war of insurgency against the foreigners
who occupied their land ?
LKY has left behind a legacy of Singaporeans whom he has "filled
their bellies and dull all the minds" - as he had set out to do
from the beginning, so as to make his own job easier without any
interfering challenge from anyone.
You should reconsider your statement - "many of my uni grads
friends think NTUC is a subwing of PAP. sad isnt
it?" Why should this be a sad event ?
Do you not believe that the situation to be true ?
in a war, the winners decide how the history should be
written.
i think it is a good information to learnt what ah chia is
trying to say, but eventually, the good guys win. the good guys are
the allies. how they achieve it and fail during the process become
sideshow.
Do you not think that it depends on which side of the
fence you are standing on to decide who are your allies
?
According to Ah Chia - the other side may not necessarily be the
bad side, and the winning side is not necessarily the good
side.
Are you certain that you understand what Ah Chia is
writing ?
According to him - the good guys are not necessarily the
Allies, and the events that have occurred were all fixxed
by the "good guys" - who were as bad as the "bad guys" - or
that the "bad guys" are actually the "good guys".
Confused ?
I am not surprised if you are, when history is being re-written
and turned on its head.
It will be sad if you believe that the process of winning and
failing becomes a sideshow.
You must appreciate that history is not a mere recording of
events, and for anyone not to repeat the mistakes and learn from
history, it is important to learn the process that occurred and
which resulted in the winning or failed outcome.
What you have preferred to term as "the sideshow" - is
actually the Main Event.
