I think the progress has been too slow to get the PLA navy to get into action into the Malacca Staits. Spore should also allow Chinese naval infantry to hol...

Fully agree. If someone really kena invite by police to lim kopi cos he's burmese and has been tracked via sms, get him to report the story to Newpaper or parties that are interested. It'll make good news and get him paid too.

Otherwise, hearsays aren't worth believing.

I was saying something like some forumers here like to swallow foreign crap hook line and sinker.

What's the point of having false pride that can be seen through by others as being hypocrisy ?

The problem with the old China was that it has not the spirit to accept and admit its own weaknesses that have been exposed by others, and with false pride will unashamedly reject all foreign and local criticism.

The illusion of power and self-deception of its own greatness led China to its own destruction in the hands of foreign forces.

It is the ability to acknowledge criticism and examine if such criticism is valid that allow us to have another perspective offered by others.

If the criticism is invalid, we can always brush off such views - like water off a duck's back - without injuring ourselves.

Let the invalid views be like some fool breaking wind that blows back to humiliate the fool.

When citizens are disenfranchised and their minds purposefully dulled, and any criticisms are disregarded or ignored by the Power of ONE - will it not be fortunate and helpful for Citizens to have an alternative voice that will be of help ?

Incidentally, in a population of 4.5 million - how often do you see Singaporeans wear hats ?

Are you already westernised to this extent even with your thoughts ?

mmmh ever read of reports that put the PAP in a bad light in the ST before? I never did... and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. Soon does that mean that any incident unreported in the ST did not happened at all?

This is just the musing of a bored man...

The articles provide names of people, places, countries etc for interested readers to do further research. They are not ignorant to swallow hook line and sinker.
We are referring to a govt that boasts of good governance and places great emphasis on combating corruption.
Unless those implications are baseless, how can the people be proud of the fact that their govt or its state-funded companies have dealings with a pariah junta.

Some forumers also swallow state propaganda hook, line and sinker.

While some segments are guilty of a foreign bias, one must realise that the words and deeds of the Singaporean government are not to be taken and trusted 100%.

There will be institutional bias in any angle. However, at least the international press places names and figures out in the article, so if you think that it's bias, you can still go and do your own research.

Poh Ah Pak SG

Some forumers also swallow state propaganda hook, line and sinker.

Must be part of 66.6%.

PAP regime feed them a bit of propaganda in the mainstream media and they swallow everything.

Like a child. Cannot gather in groups also, need adult supervision.

Mummy say cannot means cannot, understand?

Why cannot gather?

Mummy say dangerous.

Mummy say no good.

Mummy is right one.

LazerLordz SG

gUms SG

This thread is about Singapore gahmen helping the junta of burma. If people want to play down the sufferings of the burmese, please start your own thread. I, the threadstarter, don’t welcome any ill and evil comments from people who show no compassion for the people of Myanmar.

pearlie27 SG

It is always the people who suffer! Sad!

An Eternal Now SG

I'm not sure where to post in speaker's corner, so i'm posting here. Support the protesters!!

"Dear friends,

Today, our petition to China and the UN Security Council to stop the brutal crackdown on peaceful Burmese protesters is being delivered to the world in a full page ad in the Financial Times worldwide -- but the ad was rejected by other newspapers like the South China Morning Post and the Singapore Straits Times. Our message is an invitation to China to do the right thing in Burma, not an attack -- yet even that seemed too much for media that fear Chinese reprisals.

We won't let our voice be silenced like this. We're taking our message to the streets, in an international day of action on Saturday -- details are on our petition page, and below. And we're redoubling our efforts to make our voice louder: our petition is approaching 600,000 signatures, closing fast on our 1 million goal.The petition link is below - send this email to all your friends and family and help us reach 1 million voices by Saturday!
