		<description>Singapore is a fraud. It&#039;s a tyrannical rule under tyrant. The island of surveillance. 

I was one of those fooled. Searched and research into David Widjaja case and you will find out how dangerous it is to live in the city. An innocent foreign student a non activist could be killed and everything and everyone in Singapore would conspire against his case.

Read this too, one of very few who spoke up and look what she has to endure for speaking up

Righting a Wrong

Prof Lee Wei Ling&#039;s article on &#039;Righting a wrong comes from the heart&#039; (The Sunday Times 18th Jan 2009) seems to talk about me. haha....

If I know there is something wrong, I will try to set it right whether or not it is my business to do so. At my age, I have not lost the fire in my belly. But such a busybody trait has got me into a lot of trouble because I&#039;m not Prof Lee Wei Ling, who is the daughter of MM Lee Kuan Yew and sister of PM Lee Hsien Loong.

I was threatened to shut up. My son&#039;s life will be in danger if I continue to set things right. My son has a hard time in schools.

I have many personal experiences with MOE, which is very guilty of not setting things right. They allow teachers and principals to abuse students. Their educators cheat, lie but such cases were covered up. MOE condone wrong doings of their staff. One of their PR officers even threatened an editor against pursuing a case I was complaining.

I have an extremely hard time with the Immigration and Checkpoint Authority (ICA) recently. I find the officers very KL, making things more difficult for me after I complained to Minister Wong Kan Seng. Many people said I deserve it. For setting things right?

Even in a government hospital, my son and I were not spared. I wrote to Minister of Health Khaw Boon Wan but sigh...... Luckily, I would be meeting Prof Lee Wei Ling. She has agreed to see my son.

It&#039;s our duty to right a wrong when we see one....... and you don&#039;t have to be MM Lee&#039;s daughter to do that.
-----------------------------------------------------
Another one who spoke up. A Singapore police officer making a death threat to its citizen:

Gary: He said to me at the lift lobby 90% of the exact words - ”Mr Tan,if you walk out of here tomorrow,you might get killed.You might meet with a mysterious accident,you might disappear and nobody will know what happened to you! Mr Tan, some things and people in this country you cannot offend! Some people are above all things! You better make sure you know this! Mr Tan,we can arrange for things to happen to you.You understand or not!”

The guy was threatened to be locked in mental institution and now undergoing trial on shoptheft probably with false witnesses too.</description>

		<description>Check out this racist quote by Lee Kuan Yew:

&quot;&quot;Three women were brought to the Singapore General Hospital, each in the same condition and needing a blood transfusion. The first, a Southeast Asian was given the transfusion but died a few hours later. The second, a South Asian was also given a transfusion but died a few days later. The third, an East Asian, was given a transfusion and survived. That is the X factor in development.&quot;

From Lee Kuan Yew: Race, Culture, Genes by Dr. Michael D Barr - http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/lib/ne/lky/raceculturegenes.pdf

		<description>Lee Kwan Yew is not a tyrannical dictator -  He is much more clever than this.  Benevolent dictators rule for longer, amass more wealth by keeping the public happy with the crumbs whilst they enjoy the banquet.  Singapore works yes - but for how much longer?  Remember running a city is different to running a country but ultimately if your opress people, and opression through dumbing down is just as bad as oppression with guns this will eventually fail.  The relevance of the Yew&#039;s is diminshing, Lee the son has none of his father&#039;s charismatic appeal and eventually the people will realise that a free election has to have more than one party and, who knows - perhaps better people can run Singapore and allow Singaporeans to challenge themselves and take the country forward.  As long as they rely on the Yew&#039;s to look after them, Singapore will never be what Singapore Can Be !</description>

		<description>The way some comments decribe Lee is somewhat the language used on true dictors in the world we live in such as Fidel Castro, Kim jong il and propably the late Marcos of Phillipines. Please.... some of the most commonly argued topics in Singapore is the obesity of our children and the stress they get from their over emphasised education. 

As for the middle class Singaporeans, taxi drivers n such, $$ will never be enough, no matter which society that adopts capitalism. Look at the UK, governement welfare schemes proved to be unsustainable even with the rich wealth inherited through to the great Victorian age, and needed the iron lady Margret Thatcher to save them. Wait... but while saving them she created a huge gap in the economy of the UK.  I see Rolls Royce zooming pass the streets of London, with beggars (British citizens) staring blankly as it goes by. Gladly we dont have that in Singapore and why? Thanks to Lee and his old guards.

Well, not awarding him an honory award is creditable if the Dons and directors of ANU feel that he doesnt deserve it, Margret and Tony Blair were refused honory from their own University Oxford. Oh wait... Cambridge did not reject LEe.... ANU is better in human rights research and Asian political science than Cambridge???</description>

		<description>Hi, I had been to the SG few time. It is a more like a big shopping Mall. It is amazing how the country had developed. Maybe Lee Kuan did a good job in building the country.

It is obvious that the people in SG are quite backward even though their country had paced in development - ppl in their are total aliens to the human race, lack of humor, do not know how to continue a decent communication ... more like robots pre-programmed, compared to the japanese, which i found more social.

It is noticeable that the middle class are not very much satisfied, the cab drivers often are dissatisfied and talk about unable to cope up with the high prices and taxes.

Overall i think SG is a good place to do business, no the best place to have fun.</description>

		<description>This rabble are just complete low life.
perhaps they ought to look at some history books and see how Lee Kuan YeW saved Singapore from becoming the Cuba of South East Asia.
If Singapore had gone like Cuba then most of this protesting rabble would not even be in higher education.
As to the Singaporean overseas students - that lot would be in factories and not enjoying a nice well funded higher education.
Isn&#039;t it just typical that the economic strength of Singapore is not even acknowledged by this type of low life rabble.</description>

		<description>well, i saw the news and it was really shocking...

please allow me to explain why LKY was a &quot;tyrant&quot;. During his regime, Singapore was NOT A SAFE COUNTRY.. there are riots (malaysia + singapore), strike, communism threat, british control, starvation, economy unrest, etc etc... in order for this country to survive, the only way out is to have a well organized government... there is NO democracy at that point of time... do you want a communism country or a strict ruler who can lead well? and furthermore, he does not really rule singapore as prime minister for so many years, he should not be blamed primarily for the current affairs of singapore..

protests in singapore is against the law. 

also, we voted for PAP not because that he forces us, but there is no competitive opposition TEAM. pardon me for saying... because PAP had be active for so long and maintained a good record.. some opposition members are good too and PAP does not object to that.

Chee, has far as i can remember, uses oppose PAP tactics only, I don&#039;t even know what are his plans for future singapore at all..</description>
