Please Be There For A Democratic Society Based On Justice And Equality

"We are trying to seek the maximum advantage for Singapore and Singaporeans," so said the Prime Minister. [Link] The headline stated: "S'poreans will always be top priority: PM Lee" 

Since when did we, average SIngaporeans, enjoy maximum advantage? Maximum advantage of what? Advantage of having our hard-earned savings locked up in CPF? Advantage of seeing our children struggling to pay for the HDB flat? That is, if they can find and afford to buy one.

Since when did we, average Singaporeans, become 'top priority'? Top priority in what? Top priority in losing jobs and scholarships to PRCs and other foreigners? Priority in seeing the 'fat cat' ministers in PAP paying themselves millions while denying the poor a minimum wage?

I remember vividly the May Day Rally of 2011 that was hijacked by the PAP to win votes for the People Action Party. A shameful mass of men-in-white congregating not to honour the hard labour of SIngaporeans but to sell a political party to win votes for despotic goal. I may be wrong but that is my perception when MIW did what they did in May Day Rally of 2011 [Link]. It is a breath of fresh air that MIW did not dress in white in May Day Rally of 2012.

Due to 'bopian'city (Hokkien ='no other option available'), PM Lee Hsien Loong has instructed President Tony Tan to allow Hougang residents to elect their MP on 26 May 2012, despite the pending court case. What Lee wrote in his facebook [Link] shows the 'graciousness' of the PM. Honestly, if what's written is left unsaid, PAP may win more votes in the coming by-election:

"In January this year, news surfaced of personal indiscretions by Mr Yaw Shin Leong, the Workers’ Party (WP) Member of Parliament for Hougang constituency. The WP first kept totally silent, then supported Mr Yaw, and then three weeks later suddenly expelled him from the party. Until now the WP has not given Singa­poreans a full and proper account of what happened, or why it acted in this way. Mr Yaw himself has said nothing, either to explain or to apologise for his behaviour, and has reportedly left the country. Both the WP and Mr Yaw have let down all those who voted for him. As a result of Mr Yaw’s expulsion from the WP, the Hougang constituency seat fell vacant."


The emphasis is mine and it is highlighted to show the character of the facebooker. It would be good if PM Lee re-visit Choo Wee Khiang, uncle of Desmond Choo, before he started throwing stones at his own glass castle.


Just who has let the people down? PAP or WP? I guess the truth as to who has 'come clean' [Link] and who is trying to 'play dirty' will be shown by the result of the by-election in Hougang on 26 May 2012.

MARUAH is commemorating the "25th Anniversary of Operation Spectrum", an outdoor exhibition themed - That We May Dream Again. Remembering the 1987 ‘Marxist Conspiracy’ - will be held from 3pm to 7pm on Saturday 19th May, 2012 at Speakers’ Corner, Hong Lim Park.[Link] 


Be there . . . for a democratic society based on justice and equality . . . for yourself, your children and your children's children . . .

For all their smarts and smirks, I humbly ask the PAP leaders,"With your ad nauseum brag of first world standard in Singapore, why does EPF of Malaysia continue to pay higher interest than CPF pays its members in Singapore? Pray tell."
