Attacks by Lee Kuan Yew getting weirder and weirder

Singapore Democrats
To: The Wall Street Journal
I refer to the letter by Mr Lee Kuan Yew's press secretary (Two Views of Freedom of Speech and Law in Singapore, June 30, 2008) in which she quoted me as calling, in open court, "Singapore leaders 'murderers, robbers, child molesters' and 'rapists'."
The outrageousness of Madam Yeong's lie borders on the comedic. Mr Lee Kuan Yew, or his counsel, is in possession of court transcripts and audio-recordings that would show whether I had uttered those words. He must now produce the part of the transcript that quotes me saying those words or he risks destroying his own credibility.
Mr Lee and his prime minister son, Mr Lee Hsien Loong, sued the Singapore Democratic Party and its executive members for defamation over an article we published in our party newsletter criticising the non-transparent and non-accountable manner in which Singapore was run.
The Lees obtained summary judgment from the courts despite our defence in which we cited disputes of fact and law. In other words, there were triable issues. The summary judgment meant that we were found guilty without given the chance to defend ourselves, call for witnesses and cross-examine the plaintiffs.
Mdm Yeong also says that "Singapore upholds free speech." Yes, and Mr Mugabe has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Your readers might care to know that I have been repeatedly convicted and imprisoned for speaking in public and I face several more such charges. Seventeen of my associates have been charged for conducting a protest against the raising of prices by the Singapore government.
It is also noteworthy that Freedom House stated: “Singapore citizens cannot change their government democratically."
We are not advocating a Western- or Asian-style of democracy. We want a democracy based on universal principles as enshrined in the Singapore Constitution and United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
By the way, Mr Lee sued us in his personal capacity. Why is he using Mdm Yeong, a civil servant, to write the letter on his behalf?

Anyone here heard the radio news this early morning? It is about LKY pointing finger at Wall Street Journal that they misunderstood or misled about the defamation case (Dr Chee S J).
Look at his pic above, he does not look healthy like before. He looks like the chinese ghose "jiang shi". Looks rather scary.

True also what can we do? LEE kuan yew is losing more and more respect as he continues to utter nonsense. He is disgusting. Finds him boring.

Spot on, that is a sign of senility.
-
.... dishonorable, using public servants to do his dirty deeds....
-
...taking dishonorable amounts of public money for his own salary not enough, he uses civil servants to clean up after him....

But I am sorry to say that, he looks retarded in this photo. Pro PAP supporters, no hard feelings, I don't say this for personal attack. -

For the record I am not a PAP supporter....WAS anyway and I do wish for a change in government so that my firends and relatives in Singapore can have a brighter day. -
I come from a country where people look left, right and over their shoulders before they whisper criticism about the government. You guys at least are given the right to say this kind of stuff online. So on one hand, I got to say.. it's not too bad.
On the other hand.. I totally sympathize with you guys cuz I've spent my whole life in the same or somewhat even worse situation.

Criticism of PAP regime only exists online.
Mainstream media is dominated by the state.
It exists to praise PAP regime, defend PAP regime and spread state propaganda.
Criticism of PAP regime does not exist in mainstream media.

One of the symtoms of nearer and nearer to death is one will behave very weirdly. I saw this in relatives. Not long after that, they left for the other world.

You believe hard enough And it can happen.
