Are you for a moment suggesting people demonstrate for their own amusement? Look, demonstrations and strikes happen all over the world - from the ultra-prosperous US to the desperately-poor Myanmar.Originally posted by citymax:But do you really want to see such thing happening in our own country.To see our fellow countrymen killing one another...i simply cannot imagine it.
I just wish the situation in Maynmar can improve and hope the goverment can stop using violence on its own citizens.
haha,pls read properly before u want to comment on my msg.Originally posted by walesa:Are you for a moment suggesting people demonstrate for their own amusement? Look, demonstrations and strikes happen all over the world - from the ultra-prosperous US to the desperately-poor Myanmar.
Or are you suggesting the lack of demonstrations is actually a good sign of stability - even if that should come at a price of seeing "your fellow countrymen" ruthlessly exploited?
Hi, qlqq9, there is no need to tell people that you are not doing any charity work. All you do here is to seek attention for your political agenda. Your refusal to come with me to visit the old folks and cheer them up with your lunatic tunes are ACTIONS that speak lounder than your VIBES.Originally posted by qlqq9:Hi, LazerLordz, there is no need for people to keep boasting that they are doing voluntary or charity work. People who do it wholeheartedly and sincerely will not seek attention. ACtions speak louder than words.
Hi,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!

Who decides what are real grouses? You?Originally posted by mancha:Those people in Myanmar have grave and compelling reasons to march.
In Singapore, what do you have to march about?
I mean real grouses.
Not vague notions like no democracy, no voice, no freedom of expression, minister's pay.
'lao gen' ? Which 'ju di' are you referring ?Originally posted by laogenjudi:Here we go again - Atobenever misses a chance to bark vehemently at our Government, for whatever reason best known to him. I have this strange feeling that LKY has had squeezed his balls and he is trying hard to get even.
You seem to have some unusual fetish with my testicles, and also that of LKY and son.
Just to entertain him, hear ye.
Singapore has to be worse then Burma {Myanmar} - simply for the fact that as a First World Country, we still have educated persons behaving as goons to work for AND protect the political interests of the MIW government, behaving no better then the goons kept and maintained by the Third World Military Junta of Myanmar.
Only a goon will compare Singapore with Myanmar. There is more in life than politics and we are thankful to the many who work for AND protect the political interests of the MIW government......and the general well being of the people. Somebody in the political areana may have had squeezed your balls hard but the rest of us are free and easy. We would be happy to see you go and squeeze LKY or LHL but I don't see any reason why we should be helping you. [/color]
Which side of the wall are you standing to observe the happy people ?
These goons will not have any conscience or moral values and are blind to the Confucian values towards country and family, but will support an wretched rule simply to preserve themselves.
Correction - preserve themselves and the majority of common folks who have no grudges with the ruling party. Look at the people - are they not happy? Ask them whether they want to live in Singapore or Myanmar. As for the minority who have had their balls squeezed, good luck to them - try HEAVEN, it may be a better place to live in than Singapore.
What level of education have your received to associate IRAQ as a 'first world democratic country' that will 'resort to ''torment'' to get information they want' ?
The goons in a First World Singapore are no different from the goons working in Third World Myanmar - despite the education standards - they have no respect for human or institutional dignity, and will raid one's home or institutions in the middle of the night, and torment their targetted individuals simply to get the confession that they wish to hear.
Again, only a goon will compare Singapore with Myanmar. We will only raid the home of those who are trying to cause instability and insecurity to the majority of peace-loving people. And don't harp on age old story. Are you telling us no first world democratic country resort to "torment" to get the information they want. Ask Iraq. Some bastards simply need to be squeezed for the safety of the majority.
Singapore status as a First World Country is just a delusion to serve the political vanity of the POWER OF ONE, for the purpose of increasing public status on the Global Stage.From the shallowness of your reply, you hope to be called 'Ah Lao' ?
If serving the political vanity of the POWER OF ONE eventually leads to the peace, progress and prosperity of the entire population; so be it. If we nurture that ONE to be powerful and mighty who in turn gives us and our children a good life, why not? There are always people who are unhappy with the system, any system. They are waiting for chaos and riots. Who kicked and shot the protesters in Myanmar? Could be one of those who were squeezed by the Juntas. He cannot kick the Juntas so he can only kick a big fuss and probably kick the poor chap next to him. It is only human, or is it ?
Call me Ah Lao

i would like to ask u a ques, do u want a better world?Originally posted by walesa:You obviously have a knack of being able to derive humour from your own ineptitude.
So is it any more acceptable to live in a "stable" regime devoid of violence, even at the expense of ruthless oppression and exploitation? I guess boffins like you can't tell the two apart, can you?
Is a world rampant with ruthless exploitation with stability really better?Originally posted by citymax:i would like to ask u a ques, do u want a better world?

I don't see a shred of evidence of plurality here.Originally posted by Melvin Tan:Hi,
I beg to differ. Due to historical developments, Singapore is at a stage where its people are unsure of how to carry out such protests and its police are unsure of how to handle such protests.
Like political plurality and the emergence of an alternative party with the ability to govern through the parliamentary process, knowledge of these will only come at a certain pace of time, albeit with the correct conditions.
