Film about Singapore opposition leader pulled

pearlie27 SG

talks at seminar were mostly in affiliated orgns so where got money!
The party sponsors/donors should be thankful if he doesn't dip into the party's funds for his jiat hong trips.

I have always been wondering why his party members agree to his jet-hopping instead of working the grounds in Singapore?

hyuuga neji SG

is it possible he get money from foreign sources???
else how can fly here fly there?

dr chee... if you are reading this...
tell us where you get your money fom... Razz

Hahaha!!! Centre for The Arts my ass!!! Singapore will never be one under the present regime.

And somehow I think our opnions on Chee have been much colored by the govt and the local press. We'll never know the true story for sure.

Well, he seems to be more concerned with promoting democracy around Asia than in Singapore.Audiences will only listen if you have a good track record.But if he gets our grievances heard by real international organisations, then he might be doing something useful.If not, he's just wasting time.

pearlie27 SG

I think he is wasting time cos so far no intl orgns have come to our "rescue".

In Singapore he can get arrested for speaking without applying for a public entertainment license what, and even if he apply police also almost never approve. How? Someone ironic that Dr Chee's NS rank is ASP in the police force!(He reached that rank before he got into opposition politics) Mr. Green

LazerLordz SG

Ask him to apply in uniform la.. Rolling Eyes Pull rank.

Even if an opposition MP wants to hold a rally in his constituency, he needs a permit. On the other hand, the PAP candidate has a free hand even though he is not the rightful MP there. WTF is this?

crazy monkey SG

why waste time on CSJ movie ? JBJ movie would be better Rolling Eyes

randomalien SG

Singapore politics like that one lor. Nothing much can be done. Censorhip has got it's usefulness. But aiya, Sometimes you know, censorhip means or connotes a meaning that leadership has failed. Yar lor. So... erm... hehe. Hint Hint.

If pap is daring enuf, they should screen the movie and defend themselves or something. Anyway, what do they take singaporeans for???? Idiots who go over to the opposition cuz of a film??? MY GOODNESS! Aiya.. anyway pap's actions now were influenced by singapore's history... so they being so worried taht opposition win also understandable one lar....

You shd have seen Daniel Yun's interview with CNBC about S'pore censorship laws today. Fake, false smilies from him- so much so I couldn't believe a word he had said and he also made me cring.

He even had the cheek to claim that Liang Po Po movie was a topic that was a bit 'taboo'!

For your info, Daniel Yun is the current MediaCorp CEO and that LPP movie is also very much a very rubbish movie too- and in no way was it a taboo movie.

crazy monkey SG

Laughing LPP a taboo movie ?

timothytsgsg SG

Yup, that's wat he claimed. Such typical denials by our civil servants.

SMAPLionHeart SG

The Media and The Government , Civil Service , Military are built to go in one direction and together..

fudgester SG

Oh drats - the disease of idiocy has made its way to Mediacorp as well.

If Liang Po Po was taboo because it dealt with gangsterism, then The Godfather is also taboo since it deals with the Mafia.

Then Daredevil and Punisher are also taboo since they deal with vigilante justice.

Then The Sum of All Fears is taboo since it deals with neo-Nazism.

Oh no! The Incredibles is also taboo! It deals with terrorism!

I could go on - but you guys get the point.

Singapore - 'The Center for the Arts'? That's sounding more and more like some sick joke to which I'm not laughing.

Singapore is King of double standards. If Chin Peng's memoirs even became a movie, I doubt it would get clearance. Yet those glorifying the extreme right get the OK sign.

crazy monkey SG

Memoirs of Chin Peng are on sale at popular bookstore Rolling Eyes

iveco SG

If a movie on Chin Peng is ever made, which angle do you think it would cover? Would it look at his own personal struggles or diss him as an inhuman creature? Rolling Eyes
