than he usually does and has called for actions that would
undermine the very independence of Singapore!
It seems that instead of trying to improve the lives of
Singaporeans and work for the benefit of the country and the
people, Chee Soon Juan would rather we revert back to our colonial
roots and let foreigners (westerners?) take over the running of the
country.
If you feel strongly against Australia's unfair attack on the
sovereignity of Singapore; if you feel strongly repulsed by the
antics of Chee Soon Juan, SHOW YOUR STANCE! STAND BY YOUR
BELIEFS!
Sign the PETITION below as a show of solidarity!

To: The Citizens of Singapore
SHOW your support for the sovereignty of our country, for the
powers of our courts, and for the fairness of our justice
system!
Say NO to foreign intervention and interference! No to unwarranted
insults, media bashing and derision from foreign entities and
countries that have no respect for our country, our way of
life!
NO to foreigners demanding special treatments, extraordinary
waivers!
SHOW your rejection of those who only seek to hurt us, discredit us
at ALL cost simply to achieve their unreasonable demands.
The continuous wrangling and demands from Australia for special
consideration/treatment in the case of convicted heroin smuggler
Nguyen Tuong Van, who is due to be hanged, has revealed the extent
of the regard Australia has for Singapore and our laws, courts, and
way of life.
With hardly any consideration for the sovereignty of our written
laws and the fairness of our justice system, Australia has, like a
bully, insisted that we treat Nguyen differently from all other
criminals in Singapore, be it foreigners or locals, simply, it
seems, because he has an Australian passport.
While the Singapores steadfast, legal and fair position on this
case is lost to Australia, Australia ups the bullying ante and has
gone international in its attempts to discredit us, to diminish our
courts of law and to influence/interfere in the very local societal
rules that we live by!
With continual Singapore-bashing in the Australian media and now,
threats of hauling us to the International Court of Justice,
Australia seems determined to impose on us what she deems as
"right" and "wrong", and that we should bend backwards for her even
when there is no merit in the request. While all these smack of
(Western?) imperialism, it is made especially more pertinent since
the citizens of Singapore live under the very same laws that
convicted Nguyen. Is Australia suggesting that because Nguyen
carries an Australian passport, he is therefore above our laws? And
that we must employ double standards one for locals and another
for Australians/foreigners?
NO!
We sign this petition as a show of faith in our laws and courts, in
our justice system!
We sign this petition as a show of faith in our position in this
travesty!
We sign this petition as a show of unity against unreasonable
demands from Singapore!
