of course not la. but what is the aim of calling the court a
kangaroo court leh? sure, it has achieved publicity... and if you
go by the belief tt no publicity is bad, then this is a gd thing
cos now pple who read the papers know what a kangaroo court is.
however, to really have political change in singapore, there
must be some kind of strategy right? unlike other countries like
thailand or the philippines, the so-called "people's power" type of
movement doesn't work in singapore.
pple who want to be real leaders and taken seriously dun suka
suka go ard and say what's on their mind. and then get jailed or
fined for it. we are not living in the 50s and 60s... they may be
raging with fury at the unfair accusation, but they have to be
steady and not be reactive. to me, that's what makes leaders
different fr the rest of us.
can you imagine obama calling george bush or mccain "stupid" to
their face. of course being fr different parties, they prob have
lots of negative "comments" abt each other. but imagine if he says
it out and goes ard wearing a shirt with a "i hate george bush"
logo. would you respect a leader like that?
to me, singapore politics is more like the US than the other
SEAsian nations... the opposition can't adopt this type of
"protest" strategy that we see in our Asian neighbours. if our
opposition can conduct themselves in a more respectful way, only
then they can gain more support and carry out their plans for
singapore. after all, politics is power play. there is no "right"
or "wrong", only "agree" and "disagree".
ya, so if you planning to join the oppo, pls, be far-sighted.
dun be reactive cos that's what they want.
