Join us for a New Year get-together and planning for 2008
Singapore Democrats
26 Dec 07
The SDP is organising a New Year get-together with all our friends and supporters this Saturday, 29 Dec 07.
We are aware that there is little to celebrate in 2008 with all the hikes in fees and fares. The only people who are celebrating are the ministers who have just given themselves a 21 percent pay increase.
The prime minister is away on an extended holiday. And why not? With $50,000 more in his monthly salary, any one would celebrate.
But what about the people? With consumer prices expected to reach new highs, there is tension and apprehension all around.
The Singapore Democrats will get together with all our fellow Singaporeans who want to do something about these rapacious policies and to dedicate ourselves to fighting for a just and equitable society in the coming year.
We will use the evening to make plans for a campaign on cost-of-living issues which the SDP will undertake in 2008. We want your views and input.
Only when we are intelligent citizens conscientiously and actively engaged in public action can we ever hope to achieve social and economic justice for our fellow citizens, our loved ones and ourselves.
We are witnessing a steady increase in the tempo of political and civil activism in Singapore. Without a doubt, the movement for democracy is still in its embryonic stage but the progress is unmistakable.
In 2007 itself, we are encouraged to see a string of nonviolent protests conducted by civil society activists. There is much to be proud and optimistic about for the campaign can only grow.
The year will culminate in a protest at Centrepoint Shopping Centre at 6:00 pm, which the SDP encourages all Singaporeans to participate. This is similar to the one in Sep this year when protesters wore black to signal their opposition to the proposed compulsory annuity scheme.
After the Centrepoint protest, make your way down to our New Year gathering and join us for a simple buffet dinner for $10 on Saturday starting at 7:30 pm.
If you wish to attend our dinner please send us an email at [email protected] and we will furnish you with further information.
We look forward to seeing you and to spending a meaningful evening with you on Saturday. Remember, we must be the change we want to see.

ahahahaha!
wtf are they going to protest about?
seriously... -
http://www.sgpolitics.net:
Sammyboy forummer thinkall has once again called for another gathering at Centrepoint shopping centre on 29 Dec 2007, Saturday, 6pm, for shopping and dinner. This time, we shall make a stand against the PAP RegimeÂ’s elitism and indiscriminate policies that encourage top-end wage inflation at the expense of the poor and needy.
ThinkallÂ’s message is as follows:
The matter has come to pass that this government is no longer rationale and total denied reason. If they honestly believe that curbing the expectation of inflation is the most urgent task at hand, they have with a single stroke of the pen raised wage expectation, and putting the whole inflationary expectation up another level. The current National Task is to deal with inflationary expectation with maximum force: no they have not put that in perspective. Instead using justification of the recruitment of a minister, they single handedly fanned the flame of inflation and added fuel to an already hot inflationary bonfire.
The worst will come and remember this, the government instead of focusing on their responsibility to the people, inclined towards elitist interest, and decided for the worse only to hope for the best.
This is the sign of time, and the beginning of real economic hardship for the common.
I will call for the people again to gather at Centerpoint in black in 2 weeks time to do some shopping.
Location: Centerpoint
Date: 29 December 2007 (Saturday)
Time: 6pm Dinner (if insufficient space for Dinner take a walk towards Plaza Singapura to have Dinner.)
Come in Black to shop with your family and have Dinner at 6pm
“The Greediness of this Government must be met
with leisurely diners dressed in Black ..
I invite all Singaporeans and people who feel like I do
to have dinner in Black so that our great leaders
may know how we feel towards them.”

This is really saying something.

Protest simi
Give suggestions on how to improve
How to not stop the cost-of-living from going up when commodity prices are sky-rocketing and it is a worldwide problem -
yes.. greed is easy to deal with...
however, deceit, self-righteous self-delusion of a megalomanical tinpot-wannabe dictator who portrays himself as some kind of messiah and goes around with his political self-mutilation with attention whoring stunts which get himself arrested...
tell him to get a life...
tell SDP to get a clue...
serve the people..
like their founder, CST used to do..
instead of the stupid stunts which their current lea-duh seems to love but shows his incompetence in anyway... the same leader who stabbed the SDP founder in the back for his position..
the same lea-duh who is slowly being abandoned by the people who supported his stabbing of CST..
go think about it..
they deserve nothing but our disgust.. and none of our support...Originally posted by Poh Ah Pak:This is really saying something. -

I thought this has been debunked. -
rubbish..
it happened right in front of us...
just go ask people who were around to see it..
don't as the idiots like andyboy who thinks CSJ's shit is caviar..Originally posted by Poh Ah Pak:I thought this has been debunked. -
I'm not sure of the details, perhaps Atobe can fill us in.
-
he's one of the idiots
go ask someone who doesn't have any loyalties to mere political parties..
or best of all, ask yourself.. wtf did CST get kicked out of the very political party he founded?
did you not even think why he would do that?
and how did this major attention whore CSJ end up being the leader of the party?
notice how different the two are?
if you didn't know, CSJ was CST's protege.. he was being groomed for leadership in the SDP... however, CSJ wanted it all quick... so with a bunch of asswipes like Ling "Don't Talk Cock" How Doong, he did a hostile takeover of the party..Originally posted by Poh Ah Pak:I'm not sure of the details, perhaps Atobe can fill us in. -
JBJ also kicked out by the party he formed, no big deal,
-
$10 for buffet is cheap. Dont mind to look see look see.
there are always two sides to a coin. opposition parties kicking their heads' ass.es could be viewed negatively as screw.ed up or positively as democratic.
so far only Atobe could give a very detailed account of CSJ versus CST. -

There is a claim that CSJ "backstabbed" CST.
I hope that Atobe can clarify this claim. -
honestly, as a distant observer, i could only hear and "feel" CSJ opposing. Nothing at all from CST.
I fall short of agreeing with CSJ's tactics of bringing in foreigners, but he might be correct. -
Are you nuts? The ministers and top civil servants are already the highest paid in the world. When they have no idea, they go for study trips overseas for inspiration, hire consultants at tax payers' expense and now you want us to give suggestions?!Originally posted by elindra:Protest simi

... good to see that SDP is doing something... anything peaceful is better than nothing...

SDP must continue to build up pressure against the PAP.
The momentum cannot stop.
Now with public discontent at a high level, SDP might win more support. -

That is quoted from TS
It's about cost-of-living issues not about their pay. So I am asking if it is a worldwide trend what you protest about?
I am not happy about their pay too but even if you kbkp until the cows come home there you mean they will have a pay cut?
