its peaceful till now. in the 1988 protests thousands were killed. you will never know wats going to happen next.Originally posted by blackhat007:Heh, even those Burmese Monks and Nuns are allow to march in thousand of numbers, and those citizens are allow to gather around and march to protest against their 'Military' government!!!
Now, now down here in Singapore, we are not rule by the military and not a military state, we are a Republic state ...but our fate is damn different.
We can't even gather with 4 or more person to stage a protest against the bad policies from our greedy government.
Look at the different below...
The military regime allow their citizens to do this.....with great numbers!

Using LKY's argument, the conditions in those countries are different.Originally posted by walesa:Why not compare to Iceland, Luxembourg, Finland, Sweden or Switzerland, instead of Malaysia? Try telling the world this place is safer and more prosperous than those countries mentioned...![]()
It depends on what you are trying to achieve.Originally posted by blackhat007:And to those bloody PAP balls carrier, i know what you guys going to say...
Haha, our police is so efficient.Haha if we don't act now, what if the protest go larger.... ! Let me remind those PAP ball carriers, if there are no protest against anything, the government will take things for granted and keep pressing on the poor citizens.Remember this, the citizens are always right!!!
Whoever said that LKY's argument was flawless? His comparisons, often citing backward origins, are regressive, and not forward looking at all.Originally posted by Icemoon:Using LKY's argument, the conditions in those countries are different.
Malaysia happens to be more similar with us. At least we started off as one family so there is more basis for comparison.

Why didn't that despot go one better and compare with the Luxembourgs, Finlands and Switzerlands on the basis that humanity evolved from the same origins?Originally posted by Icemoon:Using LKY's argument, the conditions in those countries are different.

For this day and time, the answer is obvious. But can we say the same if one day, SG is under military rule?
Cannot protest and nothing is changed or
can protest and people die and still nothing is changed ?
Neither is better because nothing is changed.
People will not change. People in Power will absolutely not change.
If protests are allowed, will you be like one of those monks, standing and shouting ? Talk is cheap.
Indeed, talk is cheap. Talk on the Internet is cheaper than talk at the kopi-shop.
Protest at Centrepoint is even cheaper than protest in Myanmar. For me, unless it is gross inhumanity, gross injustice, gross indignity - I will not protest for the sake of protest. There will always be people who protest for selfish reasons, like the one at Centrepoint.

Neither will anything change between a crap sniffer and a pile of crap - they both stink.

Talk on the Internet is only cheaper when such talk are without substance - like crap talk coming from a pile of crap.

and rightfully, they'd better, for the sake of the rest of us who don't want to see our nation's image worsened by a gabrament who has already done enough damage.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:and the have the cheek to criticize the Burmese Military Dictatorship when they are worse then them!
