Free Tibet!!!!

never~~ becuz i'm a fire fighter!! we were taught to do everything we can to save someone

Fighting "fire" is different from fighting a regime.

Fire can be overcome because it lacks intellect, so even somebody with deprived intellect can defeat it.

If you choose to draw parallel between the two, so be it.

Moreover I am sure Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Ghandhi and Sun Yat Sen lives are worth much more than yours.

It's better they preserve their lives to fight another day, rather than be daft and charge against an onslaught of guns.

Ya how many fire calls have you attended? I bet only the most 1 or twice a month? The rest were some rubbish fire or RTAs or some spillage. The one who are always on the move for injured ones are the ambulances which they got about 8 - 10 calls per day (12hrs shift) per call is about 1hr. So do you really know how to do your CPR correctly? And I bet you have not yet tired one on a real victim before.

Thats beside the point, but I must say the fire fighter training is very tough. So do respect the SCDF fire fighters and Paramedics but not the officers as they do nothing but carry balls! OCs are the worst of all.

Maybe Singapore's fight for indepedence was wrong too, since it was a part of the British colony.

It has always been a British Colony since it's founding.

If Tibet was wrong in fighting for independence, then Singapore was a major error.

Singapore didn't really fight for her indepedence, in fact was "kick" out by Malaysia thats why our Mr Lee cried.

On 29 January 1819, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles landed on the main island. Spotting its potential as a strategic geographical trading post in Southeast Asia, Raffles signed a treaty with Sultan Hussein Shah on behalf of the British East India Company to develop Singapore as a British trading post and settlement, marking the start of the island's modern era. Raffles's deputy, William Farquhar, oversaw a period of growth and ethnic migration, which was largely spurred by a no-restriction immigration policy. The British India office governed the island from 1858, but Singapore was made a British crown colony in 1867, answerable directly to the Crown. By 1869, 100,000 lived on the island. ^[16]

The early onset of town planning in colonial Singapore came largely through a "divide and rule" framework where the different ethnic groups were settled in different parts of the South of the island. The Singapore River was largely a commercial area that was dominated by traders and bankers of various ethnic groups with mostly Chinese and Indian coolies working to load and unload goods from barge boats known locally as "bumboats". The Malays, consisting of the local "Orang Lauts" who worked mostly as fishermen and sea-farers, and Arab traders and scholars were mostly found in the South-east part of the river mouth, where Kampong Glam stands today. The European settlers, who were few then, settled around Fort Canning Hill and further upstream from the Singapore River. Like the Europeans, the early Indian migrants also settled more inland of the Singapore River, where Little India stands today. Very little is known about the rural private settlements in those times (known as kampongs), other than the major move by the post-independent Singapore government to re-settle these residents in the late 1960s.

"... That someone was our Senior Minister, then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, announcing that Singapore had been evicted from Malaysia, less than two years after joining the Federation.

Mr Lee's eyes brimmed with unshed tears, not because he and his people had been thrown off a comfortable ride or that, like the British in Hongkong, we had come to the pre-ordained end of the road....."

I am sorry to say Ghandhi did not fled India for 50 years like that Lama, he famously led his nation in the disobedience of the British salt tax imposed in India with the 400 kilometre (248 miles) Dandi Salt March in 1930, and in an open call for the British to Quit India in 1942.

As for Sun Yat Sen, he fled. So did he win the Communist? Nope he ran over to Taiwan and set up a GOV there. Which later co-founded the Kuomintang (KMT).

Read my statement, did I say that Ghandi fled India?

Maybe you can point out which part of my statement said that he fled India?

I was referring to their revolutionary spirit.

You must be another TCH05 and deathbait.

Language issues.

Read my post again and see if what you posted has any relevance.

"As for Sun Yat Sen, he fled. So did he win the Communist? Nope he ran over to Taiwan and set up a GOV there. Which later co-founded the Kuomintang (KMT)."

What your history damn good sia. FYI KMT founded before Communist Party. Sun Yat Sen died before full civil war. ROC government fled to Taiwan, Chiang Kai Shek was leader.

I think LKY HIStory more important right?

You are indicating that these people should flees or hid and wait for the chances to fight and not to charge against an onslaught of guns.

Same goes to you - You must be another TCH05 and deathbait.

So your logic is, even if it's suicidal you will sacrifice yourself?

Maybe you can change the SAF doctrine to suicide squad.

Preserve their lives means not doing suicide missions, like charging against heavily armed soldiers.

I did not in anyway said that Ghandi left India hor.

You need to engage an English teacher.

Uncle Ver SG SG

Sun Yet Sen did "beat" the Manchu dynasty.

LKY sell sweet potato and work as Jap intrepreter during WWII.

Dan008 SG

If sacrifice myself can make significant changes or any help or improvement I think it is worthwhile. If sacrifice one man can save the whole team is it worth or not? So your idea of SAF is to run and hid and save themselves first rather than to protect the country?
