For those who are unaware, the persecution of SDP’s chief Dr Chee Soon Juan has been going on for over 20 years! And the PAP leaders are still at it, doing their unethical best to demonise this man without any … Continue reading

Reflecting on recent national issues that have happened here, it is sad to see how increasingly hypocritical our Singapore society is becoming. Let’s review some of the more noteworthy hypocrisy: The highly opportunistic PAP-run government has repulsively destroyed many vocal … Continue reading
3 Reasons why PAP’s been bashing WP over the hawker centre cleaning

Singaporeans’ rising social activism reported in New York Times
I was pleasantly surprised to read in the New York Times a report on Singaporeans’ rising social activism with the headline “As Singapore loosens its grip, Residents lose fear to challenge authority”. It cited the recent public event held at … Continue reading
Don’t See, Don’t Hear, Don’t Speak. And now Don’t Write?
Amidst the brouhaha, there is a small silver lining in the Government’s call for an Internet Code of Conduct. Our rulers are getting nicer. Think about it, they could have just banned the Internet or pass new regulations and laws … Continue reading
