False information of rally and march
Empower Singaporeans @ Speakers' Corner
17 Sep 06
The PAP controlled media is engaged in a campaign of false information on the ongoing Empower Singaporeans March & Rally.
The government-owned Straits Times falsely claimed in its report today that the standoff between the police and Dr Chee Soon Juan & the activists ended 'last nightÂ’. This is a blatant lie to mislead the readers while the standoff is still continued on at the SpeakersÂ’ Corner at Hong Lim park.
Similarly, the afternoon tabloid, The New Paper, for its part said, Dr Chee was flanked by fewer than 10 supporters. What the newspaper didnÂ’t report was that despite police harassment, more than one hundred people showed up to support the event.
The police had turned people away at the entrance to the Speakers Corner, warned supporters to leave the Speakers Corner, took down their NRIC numbers, and even confiscated the fliers that the organiser was distributing.
The standoff was deliberately created when the police refused to allow Dr Chee and the activists to march towards the Parliament House, then to Suntec City, and ending up at the Istana, as previously planned.
Dr Chee and activists are still held up at Speakers' Corner and the standoff with the police will only come to an end on Tuesday, 19 Sept 2006, when PM Lee Hsien Loong makes his opening address to the WB-IMF meetings.

Wonder how all this reporters sleep at night reporting on such false tales..?

you think they can't handle? they'll send in the riot police!Originally posted by ShutterBug:What will happen, if all of us - around say about 3,000 show up and just stand there?
They can handle those few CSJ supporters - can they handles 3,000 people?
actually i doubt CSJ can get 3,000 supporters as most Singaporeans don't like his confrontational style. -
want to hear a good joke?
1. after the disgraceful Reuters pics the swat team with stun guns decided to stand about 30 meters around them... no this is not the joke...
At aroung 3 pm, I saw people looking towards a small building at speakers corner and some police standing near it.
I just got there and asked an ah soh "what?"
I mean, the rest of the protesters were at the street corner, not at the small building.
"CSJ went to toilet" she said.
Police following him was nothing much to shout about...
They brought their video cam to record Chee going to toilet...

lol...did they record CSJ's big balls (courage) to confront the PAPOriginally posted by onceinabluemoon:want to hear a good joke?

or are they embarrased by their own small c0ck -
but whats the point in confronting them with such courageous but fruitless act? yes he might had drawn the attention of the foreign media and that certainly has great implications but most importantly had he won the hearts of singaporeans?Originally posted by ctstalin:lol...did they record CSJ's big balls (courage) to confront the PAP

i think csj should learn from the other opposition parties. by not going for a demostration doesnt mean that they dun care, nor does it mean that they have smaller balls. at least, the calmer but nevertheless firm approach adopted by the other opposition parties are more convincing to singaporeans. how many seats had csj won compared to the other opposition parties?
i had learned in life that the loudest speaker of all may not be best, neither the loudest approach, the best solution.
my two cents. -
Imagine, our almighty gov, afraid of just one man and his spartan supporters.
If he is truly in the wrong, ARREST him! Go ahead!
How many times can they arrest a man??
How much more MONEY can they sue him for? (he's already bankrupted - like most opposition parties...)
They say he defamed them - but whos actions are more defaming these few days with IMF? -
I feel that ultimately, it may not be him who will succeed in getting things to change, but rather world observers who may intervene one fine day...like IMF manages to make them bow down to allowing in those activists.Originally posted by foxtrout8:but whats the point in confronting them with such courageous but fruitless act? yes he might had drawn the attention of the foreign media and that certainly has great implications but most importantly had he won the hearts of singaporeans?

One step at a time we shall go... -
This is one issue I can't say I agree. Much as international pressure may be effective, I'm not comfortable with too much foreign hands, in the end, it's still about ourselves.Originally posted by ShutterBug:I feel that ultimately, it may not be him who will succeed in getting things to change, but rather world observers who may intervene one fine day...like IMF manages to make them bow down to allowing in those activists.

That's why different parties take different steps, and the WP's outreach is a very good example of community outreach in terms of alternative party politics. We cannot always yell you know.. -

World Bank and IMF did not bow down to anybody... they were honorable people that is all. When they agreed to let the activists participate; the did not agree with deceit in mind.
Not like the PAP; so used to deceitful tactics... fake freedom of speech; fake freedom of press; fake freedom of expression; fake trade union; fake democracy...
The World bank and IMF chiefs are not mindless sheep like Singaporeans who allow the PAP to get away with deceitful promises. -
i agree.Originally posted by ShutterBug:like IMF manages to make them bow down to allowing in those activists.

so much for internation pressure, lets see how long can it carry on and how successful it will be. human have short memories, interest lasts. -
Who says it is intimidation by police?

I sense that the image of the government will fall again. aiiiiii
Though i must comment that the Chee will know when its most effective and safe (meaning not much repercussion) to protest
. Ermm the least i can say is that its a clever move.
