Ladies and Gentlemen,
The first thing to do in a battle, is to soften the ground, before
the attack. Artillery fire, rockets and mortar. And when the enemy
is weakened, you launch the attack. This is no different in
politics, and this is exactly what Dr. Chee Soon Juan
is doing now.
In a sustained
concerted and concentrated effort, he demolishes Lee
Kuan Yew by exposing his repression, his dirty tricks,
his abuse of the law through his blog, through his actions in court
and through the punishment he takes at the hands of his oppressor.
And slowly and surely, day after day, more and more Singaporeans
become aware of the lack of justice and fairness in their
country.
And progressively Lee Kuan Yew loses all moral
authority to rule. People become aware that
Singapore is a morally bankrupt country, a country where the laws
are abused at will to destroy critics, where the government is
corrupt paying themselves millions while the poor teeter on the
poverty line, and where human rights are literally non
existent.
And as time progresses, as more and more people begin to hate Lee
Kuan Yew and his millionaire ministers, the country
becomes ripe for change. There is a simmering of discontent under
the surface only to erupt when the time is
right.
And the right
time is when Lee Kuan Yew dies. He is
presently 85 and is kept alive with a battery powered pacemaker
next to his heart.
It was reported that he is suffering from irregular heartbeat. I
saw him in Judge Belinda Ang's court in Singapore from
May 26, 2008 to May 28, 2008 which resulted in my unexpected arrest
and imprisonment for criticizing her conduct. He appeared very weak, with
some difficulty walked from the courtroom door to the witness box,
with some effort sat down. He did not appear very sound in
health.
With his death,
something has to give, there is no doubt about it.
I think he knows it too. His greatest mistake is to have chosen the
sort of ministers presently with him.
His son, he appoints prime minister, an obedient child who
obeyed his father, passed all his exams and selected first as the
highest ranking officer in the army and immediately thereafter,
Prime Minister. He has not been leader of anything, not
accomplished anything and no one knows anything about him except
that he is the Prime Ministers son.
Law Minister Shanmugam was not too long ago, a lawyer
in Allen and Gledhill, after which we were told that
he is now Minister for Law. No one had any say in it
and no one cares. Had he been selling Indian pancakes in a dhoti in
Serangoon Road, no one would have cared either. I
suppose he loves no one, and no one loves him either.
All of Lee Kuan Yew's ministers are handpicked men
whose principle qualification is to do exactly what he tells them.
We have no idea as to their principles, convictions and philosophy.
Very probably they have none of those. They are there for only one
reason, because the pay is good, and because there is Lee
Kuan Yew, the 85 year old octogenarian to protect
them.
But everything
will change when Lee Kuan Yew dies. Lee knows this
too. And that is why his many references to the
secrets of longevity, clearly shows that he fears what will happen
when he dies. So his desperate efforts to keep living one extra day
at a time. But this fear of death, will itself cause him to die
sooner than later. The obsession to stay alive will itself turn
into a killer. So I expect him to be saying goodbye very
soon.
And that is why I say they should be packing. Judge Belinda
Ang, if she knew what was best for her, should pack
her suitcases and leave. If she does not, the people might want to
know why she deliberately abuses the law to punish Lee's
critics.
And knowing what she has done, it will be difficult to come up
with an answer satisfactory to the people. Not knowing whether Lee
Kuan Yew will live one week or one year, his days are
numbered and the time of reckoning is also numbered for Judge
Belinda Ang.
Judge Judith Prakash, Judge Kan Ting
Chiu, DSP Mohamed Hassan,
ASP Abdul Razak Zakaria, Judge
VK Rajah, Kalaselvi d/o
Rengasamy of the Bankruptcy office and the list goes
on.
If I were them, I would ask myself one question. Is
it safe? Is it safe to continue misusing the law to please Lee
Kuan Yew, when he is just about to die. Will the
people hold men and women who oppress their fellow citizens to
account when the time comes? These men and women who please Lee
Kuan Yew for money should, if they were smart, start
thinking about their actions, and whether it is safe to go on as
they have done so far.
And in the meantime, as Lee Kuan Yew takes one more
step to his grave, Dr. CheeKuan Yew is
nothing but one corrupt dictator, who is propped up by
minions such as Judge Belinda Ang, who do it for
money. Soon Juan and the other brave activists
continue to spread the message throughout the island that
Lee
I expect, with
his death, there to be protests. The people's anger kept bottled up
will erupt. The protests may be small in the beginning. But with
the expected irrational actions of this government, we expect the
minions of the dead Lee Kuan Yew to arrest them. This
will result in even larger protests which will attract
even harsher retaliation from this
government.
This in turn will cause even more people to hate
them, and with mass protests, massive outflow of
people, capital and investment, the
present staus quo will
change forever. And we never know, with Lee Kuan Yew's
son in the decision making chair, he may, like his
father suggested, even shoot at unarmed Singaporeans.
All this is very
likely to happen in Singapore where everything depends
on one man, Lee Kuan Yew. It is pity he did not think
of this before.
Ahmad Ben Bella's famous words to the French troops in Algeria
nearing the end of the civil war was "Choose. The suitcase or
the coffin". Judge Belinda Ang is lucky that Singaporeans are
a gentle people. Perhaps they would not insist that she get into a
coffin. But I don't think they will let her go scot free
either.
