Wah really cb lah...
ceecookie: I'd so love to see the file which ISD has on you now
It's really not
like me to say this, but please stop blabbering utter crap. Use
your brain to think what Singapore would be like now without the
tough laws that have been implemented since our Independence. You'd
probably be staying in some hut chasing kampung chickens all day,
which of course, in my opinion, is a much better use of your time
(than for you to spend it here).
ditzy: Love your comments. Sounds like rubbish, but painfully true!
Would be great if you
could go into detail regarding the their telcos fiasco, and how Sg
could benefit if Singtel were to pull out.
IMHO, if the biggies in Australia continue to push hard for this
case to be brought to The Hague, which is most likely to happen,
Nguyen might very well receive a postponement, subject to the
result of the review by the ICJ. After which, Singapore will fight
for their decision, without backing out on it. If this case is
going to be continued to be well publicised, and done in a bad
light for us, it might very well affect the Asian community living
there. The average Aussie won't be able to/won't bother to
differentiate one asian with another, and more likely than not,
we'll see an increase in the racial problems.
If, however, in the very unusual and unlikely case that Singapore
backs down, on the basis of having to maintain good foreign
relations, the Singaporeans won't be happy about it. PAP will have
their image as the no-nonsense ruler tarnished badly, and even more
people will start speaking out against them. Of course, within very
tight limits. 
Let's see what the others think, state what you would do if you
were the Singapore Government.
Cheers.
