at least in MY, the gahmen let that old man spew his nonsense.
he still got a platform to make his stand... however limited. he
can stand for election within umno. here, once labelled a
dissident, no chance.
see what happened to devan nair? labelled a drunk and shipped
forcibly to kanada. others like francis seow etc. are squeezed out
of this red dot where they dun even hv an inch to stand on.
can sg, as a society achieve socio-political maturity over time if
ppl cannot speak their mind and the gahmen have a rod rigid `my way
or the highway' mentality?
as it is, this is a place only an elite (very) few who has a real
say in this land on how the country evolves. the rest of you/us....
r just pathetic, disposable subject who lives lives according to
the whims and fancies of a few.
btw, a fren working in MAS told me that onli 3-4 person actually
know the REAL reserves sg has. last estimates known to me was
USD100b. all of u can name at least 3 names already...& i bet
even ah goh doesn't know the real figure.
go figure.
