Welcome back, DeerHunter - I was under the impression that you
had given up your hunting license ,as you claimed that you do not
wish to be embarassed to be seen arguing with someone you consider
to be a fool.
Or should the truth be said that you had intended to give up
your toy gun as a result of continuously being embarrassed for
your 'blank points' fired, and treated like a fool ?
Still, you simply cannot resist to engage yourself to
face the truth of your "intellectually challenged" status by
returning in a wild charge hoping to hit a target with more "point
blank" shots that will continue to hit ''blank
points''.
The Privy council? UK judical system? Our ex-colonnials
masters?
MM Lee should have never suggested using them in the first
place. We had already gain our independence and am a sovereign
state. We have our own laws, although adapted mostly from their
common law, but still, we as a society determine our own rules
in this island state.
As a citizen, i am most shocked for a suggestion to use
them.
Were you a citizen when LKY made his decision in 1965 to
retain the Privy Council ?
Where were you then - if you did not even exist and probably not
even a flotsam in the genetic stream of your family tree ?
Why should you be shocked ?
Are you not over-reaching your own status to even be in any
position to pass judgment on LKY's intellectual strategic
thinking
Your displayed intellectual capacity can hardly place you even
near the waist-line height of LKY's trousers.
Can we trust you to even reach any appreciation, or
come to any conclusion that LKY's political step-by-step
agenda is in bidding his time in his use of any person or
institution that will advance his own plans and time lines
?
But I am EVEN MORE SHOCKED, that JBJ, supposedly a
nationalist, WOULD ACTUALLY ENGAGE outsiders like the UK Privy
Council to INTERFERE with our laws!
So much for sovereignty. Thank heavens MM Lee saw fit to
disallow our ex-colonnial masters of the ' Dogs and Chinese not
allowed' fame to interfere in our own sovereign affairs.
'Dogs and Chinese not allowed' - have you got your
bigotted fantasy movies mixed up, when this was a
small part of a Bruce Lee movie set, which had this
notice hung outside a Japanese Clubhouse
supposedly established in a big city in China ?
If sovereignty prevent us from being taught, or learn by
bench-marking ourselves with the 'Best of the Best' - then you
should continue to hold LKY and his Government in contempt for the
continued dependence in aligning best practices for
Singapore - in the various fields of education, trade,
and defence - to a variety of neo-colonialists and
imperialists in the various regional and bi-lateral agreements
with UK, USA, Australia, France, Germany, Sweden, Indonesia,
Malaysia and any other Western or Asian Countries that has a
history of imperialism or colonialism.
Why should JBJ not seek an appeal from the UK Privy
Council when his and LKY's generation - with both being
Nationalists - believed in the Privy Council as a viable and
relevant inistitution to ensure a high standard of
legal performance from a fledging Judiciary of a newly
formed State ?
Under such circumstances, why should JBJ not seek an appeal from
the UK Privy Council when it was available as a Final Avenue of
Appeal for any conviction ?
Why should JBJ not do so - when LKY challeged JBJ to
make this appeal to the Privy Council, and offered JBJ a
Presidential Pardon if JBJ should succeed ?
With the present status of a political autocracy
in Singapore, where there are no neutral parties to be a political
arbitrator, and with the Ruling Party making Singapore into an
autocratic state that manage the political environment for its
own self-interests - Singapore has lost a
viable counter-balance to the POWERS of ONE.
You are totally naive to believe that LKY saw it fit to
remove the Privy Council out for reasons of sovereignty.
From historical records of past actions, it is clear for all to
see LKY's political agenda of using everyone and anyone, or any
institution to serve his overall game plan; and when each has
served its purpose, he has no qualms in finding the most convenient
excuse to dispose the expended individuals or institutions.
It was politically expedient for LKY to dispose of the Privy
Council under the guise of sovereignty, when it was part of his
game plan to plug any possibilities for any opponents to dodge his
persecution - through the use of his judiciary execute
the legistlations that only he will craft to extend his political
grip on Singapore.
