I tried to be open minded and watch the video, and here's
my review.
The video is something which even a 12 year old schoolgirl can
create on power-point, with a few slides and pictures. Nothing to
rave about the presentation, amatuerish at best.
However, the storyline is unfortunately- hogwash and pure
opposition politics unsubtantive propoganda. Here's why:-
1. Political dissidents:-
Out of the millions of citizens in Singapore, hundreds
of other political figures, why are only 2 of them
incarcerated under ISA act? There are definitive reasons for their
arrests in order to protect the nation. Communism and communalism
was rife during that period.
because the rest didn't seem a threat which became
true
But of course, now that those dangerous years had passed and we
are living in relative safety, these ex-political figures can make
all sorts of allegations and claims just to cover up their raggedly
communistic racist asses, to fool the new generation into thinking
they are heroes.
it seems like as we are exposed to the outside world,
we know what happens here isn't really correct. like the
saying goes, paper can't cover fire.
In truth, what good had these dissidents done for Singapore? Had
they been able to alleviate the sufferings of the poor, build
homes, plan industrialization for jobs, etc?
did they even had the chance?
So much of their talk about freedom, but centred soley on
freedom of speech. What about freedom from hunger, freedom from
illiteracy, freedom from poverty?
when you are hungry, suffering in poverty, will you think of
talking or look for food and survive. will you even know whats
freedom when you are illiterate?
Please do not misplace your sympathys and worship the wrong god.
Salute only those that had work hard to give us a chance at life
amidst today's turmoil - our founding fathers as well as our
forefathers who realized the opposition could not deliver and made
the right vote.
i rather thank my parents.
ISA:-
Was JB Jeya ever arrested by ISA? Was Chee SJ ever arrested by
ISA and detained forever? Which other current political figure was
detain and had the key thrown away?
Again, opposition propaganda - ISA act use to remove opposition.
An insult to thinking modern citizens again.
what for when you have a better way of handling and
getting compensated.
ISA act is of good use to the country and its people. Our
forefathers in the past suffered under power mongers, populist
demagogues who use communal feelings and emotions to wreck
havoc on others to gain power. Innocent civilians died for
nothing.
you meant those who jumped onto mrt tracks?
But with ISA act, power hungry politicoes can no longer use
racially charged emotions to seize power. By all means, get voted,
but based on what one can perform to help the country, not by
devious means to make neighbour fight against neighbour.
neighbour fight against neighbour? SMRT and SBS transit
fighting with each other to raise fares?
No political party that intends to use communal feelings to win
will be spared by ISA, including even the ruling party, should one
day in future a less honourable person gets into its rank. The ISA
act is protect the People.
protect the people? or did it create more
sai kang for the NSFs, NSmen and regulars?
Personally, many who get to see the video will realize that they
had wasted 45 minutes of their time. There is nothing in there that
can help citizens. Civil disobidence - for what? reduce cost on
ERP? then allow cars to clog the streets?
allow cars to clog the streets? there isn't enough
clogging around?
The opposition or those who seek for opposition better work
harder if they want power and glory. Viable Solutions are needed,
not more suffering.
yea, with all the recent policies in place, the MIW has
certainly created 'viable solutions'.
im sick of the nonsensical reasons they are giving. the
oppositions have yet to prove they can do a better job, but i don't
mind handing them a shot at it.
No need to respond to Point_blank. He is forever pro
PAP blindly. His motive of coming here to reply is to stop
people from exposing PAP and hope the ignorant ones will not
believe in the video.
He is impaired not you.
