YOU HAVE DEFINED GUTS WRONGLY.Originally posted by maurizio13:Alas, you have to draw a distinction between the two.
Suicide bombers, murder innocent lives for their cause.
Political activist like Dr. Chee's sister and John Tan, stage PEACEFUL protest but gets hamshackled by the police which is pro-P4P.
Next you will probably be equating the status of those Burmese monks staging PEACEFUL protest, to those deplorable actions of suicide bombers.
It's always easy to blur the distinction so that you can distort the whole picture.

[b]YOU HAVE DEFINED GUTS WRONGLY.
"BOLD N BRAVE" ACTION BY PEOPLE WITHOUT BRAIN CANNOT BE CONSIDERED AS HAVING THE GUTS. IT IS STUPIDITY + NAIVETY.
SDP IS AT THEIR WIT'S END, THEY HAVE NO MORE TACTICS OR TRICKS TO USE. THE ONLY MEANS IS TO PROTEST, SHOUT DEMOCRACY (FOR THEMSELVES). HOPING TO USE EXTERNAL PRESSURE TO INTERFERE WITH SINGAPORE POLITICS.
TRYING TO DISCREDIT AND MAKE SINGAPORE LOOK BAD IN FRONT OF INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IS THEIR MAIN MOTIVES.
SINGAPOREAN WITH A THINKING BRAIN AND A PAIR OF EYES SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THRU THEIR COLOURS.
SUPPORT BEGGAR SECT. PLS DONATE GENEROUSLY FOR THE GOOD OF FELLOW POOR SINGAPOREANS. [/b]
Is it not strange that the very document that is supposed to protect and involve the people of a Member State of ASEAN in this integration process - should be barred from approaching the gazetted grounds ?
1. To maintain and enhance peace, security and stability and further strengthen peace-oriented values in the region;
4. To ensure that the peoples and Member States of ASEAN live in peace with the the world at large in a just, democratic and harmonius environment;
7. To strengthen democracy, enhance good governance and the rule of law, and to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, with due regard to the rights and responsibilities of the Member States of ASEAN;
11. To enhance the well-being and livelihood of the peoples of ASEAN by providing them with equitable access to opportunities for human development, social welfare and justice;
13. To promote a people-oriented ASEAN in which all sectors of society are encouraged to participate in, and benefit from, the process of ASEAN integration and community building;
THE SAME PROTEST, DIFFERENT PURPOSES.Originally posted by maurizio13:So what you are saying is, those "bold and brave" actions by the Burmese monks are without brain and cannot be considered as having guts, it is stupidity and naivety???
Is that what you are claiming???
So the main motive of the Burmese monks are trying to discredit Burma (Myanmar) and make Burma look bad in front of the international community???
Care to explain your thoughts on these issues???

I dun think they were arrested, just escorted outta the gazetted zone....Of all the days, why would they wanna go to this particular hotel, at these particular period for dinner......unless for some devious and obvious reasons.........heheheheOriginally posted by LazerLordz:The rest of the protestors were not arrested because they didn't go ahead into the gazetted zone.
Formed a picket line outside Orchard Hotel or dispersed.
CSC and John Tan went on into the gazetted zone.

THE PROTESTS IN BURMA WERE THE BURMESE'S CRIES, OUT OF DESPERATION, TO POUR OUT THEIR PLIGHTS. THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSE. THEIRS ARE GENUINE.
THE PROTEST BY SDP IS TRYING TO DISCREDIT SINGAPORE, NOT FOR THE SINGAPORE PEOPLE.
SO FAR, IN THIS REGION, ONLY PHILIPPINES SUCCEEDED IN OVERTHROWING THEIR GOVT BY PROTESTS. THEIR PROTESTS WERE SUPPORTED BY THEIR PEOPLE. UNITY IS THEIR STRENGHT ALSO THEIR WEAKNESSES. PHILIPPINOS ARE EASIER TO MANUPULATE AND INCITE. THEREFORE IS EASILER TO SUCCEED.
SINGAPOREANS ARE THE NUMB AND MORE SELFISH LOT. MORE INTERESTED IN OWN WELFARE N MATERIALITIC. ONLY FEW INTERESTED IN THE WESTERN IDEOLOGY LIKE HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY STYLE.
TRYING TO CHAMPION SOMETHING WHICH THE VAST MAJORITY NOT INTERESTED IS SHEER WASTING OF TIME.
THE FOREIGN PRESSURE GROUPS ARE VERY POWERFUL AND RICH. THEY ARE EVER READY TO FINANCE AND SPONSOR GROUP TO FIGHT FOR THEIR CAUSE.
SO, DEAR SINGAPOREANS, DONT SUPPORT ANY PARTY WHICH HAS THE BACKING OR SUPPORT OF FOREIGN GROUP.
IF SDP ONE DAY IN POWER, THEY WOULD BE SPEAKING FOR THE FOREIGN CAUSE AND NOT FOR THE CITIZENS.
THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY FOR FELLOW CITIZENS IS HONOURABLE, BUT THE FIGHT FOR OWN SELFISH DEMOCRACY AND PARROTING FOREIGN GROUPS IS NOT.
WE SHOULD FIND OUT WHAT DEMOCRARY THE SDP IS FIGHTING AND WHO ARE THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR. SINGAPOREANS OR FOREIGNERS ? BEFORE WE SHOW OUR SUPPORT.

WeLL SaId.Originally posted by kramnave:The thing about unjust laws is that they are acceptable to society so as long as no serious harm is incurred. Think 377A, affirmative action etc. Ask most of the older generation and perhaps they might tell you that they are glad that no demonstrations are held in Singapore since their time. Sure we get more educated, we go abroad, we see peaceful protests and we ask: "Why can't we do the same in Singapore" ? The older generation gave up their rights for a reason and now we want them back for another reason. What i can say is that change has to occur slowly as with other developed nations. Bit by bit we progress as we evolve.
MaKing NoIsEs, ProTestIng EtC Are WaSting TIme.Originally posted by Jontst78:Have to disagree with some of what you said.
Any hidden agendas by Chee and gang is open to speculation. Its like saying PAP thinks the citizens are to be milked to the max.
That aside, bringing attention to unjust laws, how do we do that? Chee is doing what he knows will bring attention to unjust laws. The head activist need not be the best leader for the nation, but he is definitely bring attention to those laws by breaking them, and then paying the price for it.
If the PAP just ignores them, they won't be mytrs now would they? Having a few people constantly goading the PAP into looking bad, is not such a bad thing after all.

What is the law exactly? is it not PAP?Originally posted by Trump_Card:I'm getting sick of them ... I personally feel it's alright to protest ... But these people are doing it too much it becomes an overkill .
If these actions exemplify the qualities of SDP , then I'd say that none of them are credible because knowing the consequences of their actions , they chose to violate the law and points finger at P4P when they get into trouble

Police Response
At about 6.00 pm today, Chee Siok Chin and John Tan had walked into Orange Grove Road, which is an area gazetted as a Protected Area. Police officers deployed along the stretch of road first engaged the pair at the junction of Orange Grove Road and Orchard Rd and advised them that they were about to enter the protected area and that they should not do so.
However, they ignored the advice of the officers and continued to proceed along Orange Grove Road towards the Shangri-La Hotel. Police engaged them again along Orange Grove Road near Anderson Road . They were warned repeatedly that they had entered the protected area, and should they refuse to leave, they would be removed. When they ignored the repeated warnings, and still refused to leave and continued to move forward, police officers led them into a police vehicle to bring them out of the protected area.
The police officers offered to drive Chee and Tan to the SDP office but Chee requested to be alighted at Orchard Hotel as she claimed that her car was parked there. Both Chee and Tan were alighted at the hotel.
The area around Shangri-La Hotel and three other venues have been gazetted as Protected Areas. Any person engaging in activities, which may compromise the security of the ASEAN Summit, including protesting within the Protected Areas, may be removed to ensure the safety and security of the Summit .
Police had earlier today facilitated the request of four Singaporeans who had wanted to pass a greeting card to the ASEAN Summit leaders. They handed the card to an ASEAN Summit official outside the Protected Area and left. These four persons were not subjected to any police action.
Separately, Police were also informed at about 7pm today that some people wearing red t-shirts had assembled outside Orchard Parade Hotel near the Starbucks outlet. When Police officers approached the location, there was a group of about 35 persons standing in line holding hands.
A banner was also displayed. Police advised them to disperse as they had committed an offence of unlawful assembly. The group heeded the advice and dispersed peacefully from the area.
Police will be investigating into the possible offences committed by Chee and Tan, as well as the outdoor protest outside Orchard Parade Hotel.
Police reiterate our advice to the public not to participate in an unlawful assembly or procession. The public are also advised to stay away from the vicinity of such illegal protest activities. Members of the public who choose to give expression to their political views or who wish to organise political activities are urged to do so through available avenues and lawful means.
Indoor political forums by Singaporeans are exempt from the need to apply for any licence. Foreigners who wish to do so can apply for a licence from any Police station or on-line at www.spf.gov.sg/licence/index.html. Such licences have been granted in the past.
