-
This Aussie blog http://rspas.anu.edu.au/rmap/newmandala/2007/03/28/lee-kuan-yew-anu-is-not-for-you/ has posted some pics of Aust National Uni's students protesting against ANU giving an honarary doctarate to LKY last week.
People protesting against LKY is such a rare sight that I thought many of us in this forum would be interested to see. -
why so many ppl angry with him getting a degree?
-
I notice they called LKY a dictator. How stupid is that.
For all the things LKY is, he's NOT a dictator. Those Aussies obviously have no idea what a dictator is. Or rather, they don't really have a clue about Singapore but wants to act like they know.

He is an autocrat and the only thing that separates him from a dictator is that he keeps a semblance of democracy when it actual truth it does not. -
The Aussie students obviously jia pah liao bo sai pung kpkb about a person from another country! What is their business anyway?!!

Com'on.. everyone has their boliao days.. juz being online in SGF is already boliao..

Although LKY is alive and still holds important positions here, it doesn't mean he's a dictator.

Accomplishment of having exhorbitant salary for politicians unheard of in this world?Originally posted by Ah Gong:they are jus jealous of spore accomplishments
Accomplishment for having positions such as Minister Mentor and Senior Minister unheard of in this world?
What accomplishments do we have? -

despot: a king or other ruler with absolute, unlimited power; autocrat. -
Thanks for posting, i could not find such pictures in the internet. You will never find such pictures publish on Strait Times, imagine the blinded masses see the pictures on the Strait Time what will Singaporean think about LKY? The pictures have shown people who have the courage to stand up to express freedom and justice.Originally posted by blueheeler:This Aussie blog http://rspas.anu.edu.au/rmap/newmandala/2007/03/28/lee-kuan-yew-anu-is-not-for-you/ has posted some pics of Aust National Uni's students protesting against ANU giving an honarary doctarate to LKY last week.

These people have principles. They took all the trouble to sign petitions, meeting up and spending time (Not wasting time) on the protest although it has nothing to do with their country. Yes, they are real people with values.Originally posted by :The Aussie students obviously jia pah liao bo sai pung kpkb about a person from another country! What is their business anyway?!!
You can question if their demonstration was justified, but you shouldnt question their integrity and their principle. Unfortunately, most singaporeans are just armchair critics..we dont value the efforts others put in to make the slightest significance in anything. -
they're just jealous
-
The absence of such pictures and videos in our media is already itself... a form of dictatorship.
Let me put myself in LKY / LHL shoes:
Publishing such photos....never! S'poreans shd never see these protests otherwise they may be incited and then think it can happen here too!
(OMG, aren't we mature enough as a 1st world country to discern?)
Even the Shin Corp coverage was pathetic! The S'porean's overall view on politics has been seriously retarded by this govt. Thank heavens for internet. -
Cos, the people alleged that the Uni nvr go through proper procedures in the process of awarding him a doctorate..Originally posted by jay_rocks:why so many ppl angry with him getting a degree? -
What can you expect from a media that is muzzled? "Nation-building" role? More the opposite.
