Veteran opposition politican J. B. Jeyaretnam, passed away early this morning. JBJ, 82, died at about 1.30 am from a heart attack at his son's home in Singapore.
A sad day for Singapore becos she has lost a true patriot and a true Singaporean.
I salute you Mr JBJ.
You will always be remembered for your courage and tenacity. For standing up to tyranny and those who sought to crush you through dirty means and misuse of justice.
Singaporeans like myself will always remember you! Your efforts to bring democratic change to Singapore will not be in vain.
A fond farewell from this recruit to you, Mr JBJ.
because it is alreay too late. The rot and poison has sunk in too deep. Any medication will only worsen the patient's suffering long before any improvement.
The only way for change will come is for him to leave the scene and "move on" hehehe. Sep 23, 2008
No presciption needed: MM
By Li Xueying
IN GOVERNING Singapore, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew sees no need to follow anyone's prescription on democracy.
Instead, his focus is on what works.
Speaking last Sunday on the CNN programme Global Public Square, Mr Lee said his goal is to keep Singapore a first-world oasis in a third-world situation.
...
But he also noted the criticisms that Mr Lee had exercised too tight a control over the country, leading to 'too domineering and coercive a state'.
Mr Lee, Singapore's first Prime Minister from 1959 to 1990, replied that Singaporeans can choose which government they want to have through the vote.
'Nobody has ever alleged any chicanery - no bribery, no coercion, no nothing. We have never won less than... two-thirds of the vote,' he said.
Oh really???
The broken record keeps spinning the same old tune and raionale. Like a koyok street peddler who sells dated medicine laced with dunno what ingredients inside... laced with maybe even melamine! But only there is no AVA to regulate and check his products. (oops AVA also lousy example.. hehehe)
Only last year i remember him talking about the nation entering a Golden Period. See? So much for his alleged wisdom hahaha.
