Ladies and Gentlemen,
Listen to this. Even I had wished every
day, that someone would please drop a ten ton Weapon of Mass
Destruction over the house of Lee Kuan Yew in No. 1 Oxley Road, Singapore and killed them all instantly; Lee Kuan Yew and all, dictators all of them; turning them into roast flesh;
still I am not guilty under the law! Indeed I will rejoice and pop a
bottle of Dom Perignon 1959 and party all night!
This fact may be shocking to you but true nevertheless.
I am saying this in relation to the ongoing suspense over the disappearance of Mr. Mas Selamat Kasatri, the hero who escaped from Lee's prison Whitely Detention Center.
The Lee Administration keeps up the drum beat day after day, telling us that Mr. Kastari,
the escaped prisoner is guilty of all sorts of heinous crimes, like
wanting to fly an aeroplane filled with explosives and crash it into Changi Airport, Singapore; and therefore Lee has a right to detain him in
Whitley Detention Center Singapore without trial for an indefinite
period. Does Lee think the entire Singapore population are imbeciles
without any brains who can be told any cock and bull story and lock up
anyone he pleases?
Well, will he lock me up because I have always wished to see him and his entire family as dead meat?
My
dear Mr. Lee, stop trying to fool Singaporeans. They are not as stupid
as you think. Just as I am innocent of any crime even though I pray
every day that someone would fly that very plane with explosives and
crash it over your head; similarly Mr. Kastari is not guilty of any crime under the law for wishing someone would crash a plane into Changi Airport, Singapore.
Correct
me if I am wrong but here comes the law. The law of attempt. A man is
guilty of the crime of attempt when a plan is conceived to commit a
crime and preparations has gone ahead to a point where the principal
crime itself is imminent.
A man wants to kill his wife. No crime
yet. He dreams about it. No crime yet. He buys a gun. No crime yet. He
drives some distance towards his wife's work place. No crime yet. If he
proceeds, after this point; somewhere along the line the crime of
attempt will be committed. Perhaps at the point where he has sighted
his wife in his gun barrel. At this point, I am sure the crime of
attempted murder has been committed. But not before then.
Take the case of Mr. Kastari. Lee says Mr. Kastari has to be detained because he wanted to blow up Changi with a light aircraft. Well where is the evidence. Did he purchase a Cessna 152, 2 seater light aircraft and modified it so the right wing can carry TNT instead
of blue high octane aircraft fuel? Was the aircraft flown from Darwin
Australia to Tanjong Pinang airstrip for this purpose, and waiting? Did Mr. Kastari personally go to Darwin to oversee the modifications? Did he fly the aircraft back. Did Mr. Kastari only learn to take off and fly straight and level without bothering to
know how to land? What ratings has he obtained? Visual Flight Rules,
Instrument Rating, Multi Engine, Boeing 757 type rating, what?
Was the date fixed for the bombing of Changi ? Who were his advisers and collaborators, Tom Whiteman, Blue Blackman and Ahmad Ahmad Ahmad? Were the movements of all these people also monitored?
Were pictures taken of the plane, his fight ratings, his flight log book, of the modified right wing, of Mr. Kastari and his accomplices; were videos taken of their movements? Nothing.
Absolutely nothing. Just a whole load of hogwash. All just a detective
story. We might as well go to Lido Theater and watch Indiana Jones!
I suspect the Singapore government has nothing on him. Nothing at all, except the ability to tell us ad nausum that Mr. Kastari was up to all type of mischief, deserving to be incarcerated for an
indefinite period without trial. This sort of logic is what one can
expect in places like Rwanda, not Singapore. Nothing doing Mr. Lee. You
have no right to detain Mr. Kastari, an innocent man.
Second
the whole idea of detention without trial is unacceptable. Anathema.
Unjust. A travesty of justice. Lee cannot be allowed to detain anyone
without trial. The Constitution specifically requires that every man be
given due process of law; meaning if there is prima facie evidence of guilt he must be charged within 48 hours before a judge, be
be informed of the charges, provided competent legal counsel; the
burden of proof being on the prosecution of proof beyond reasonable
doubt; the case be proceeded in a speedy manner and if convicted
imprisoned; if acquitted released. This is the law.
Telling us a whole load of hogwash and fantasy that Mr. Kastari wanted to do this and that, arresting him and detaining him without any
trial is not first world at all. It is worse than Rwanda!
If anyone is to be detained now in Whitley Detention Center Singapore, it should be Wong Kan Keng and the entire Lee family. They should be locked up and the keys thrown
away. As for me, I would prefer that someone flew a plane from Selatar Airport runway 030, flying north into the wind, then over the water,
flight level three thousand feet, then turned it south over the island
straight over Oxley Rise No. One and crashed it there, just when Lee Kuan Yew was having dinner at 6 pm eating his Char Kwey Teow! Wouldn't that be nice!
But even after my saying all this, I cannot be arrested. Not in any country where there is rule of law, like in California, USA.
And neither should Mr. Mas Salamat Kastari, the hero of Whitley.

Yes, like i said previously, democrats should rejoice that Mas Selamat escaped. He was detained under the Internal security act, something democrats detest. What did he do ? Have detailed plans only right ? filming of potential targets right ? Never break the law right ? Wait till he bomb and kill thousands of people first then say lah. Then that will be a legitimate crime right ?
" Wait till he bomb and kill thousands of people first then say lah"
Moot point. He's gone thanks to PAP. Mat Selemat is not targetting LKY and family, he is targetting ordinary innocent Singaporeans as well as the Americans.
See if anyone lifts a finger if LKY family and cronies are in JI's crosshairs.

I would.....
Not because he is LKY..... but because NOBODY should be the Victim of a terrorist attack. Not doing anything would be like saying..... - Police shouldn't protect Non-PAP supporter since they don't support the Govt - ....
See if anyone lifts a finger if LKY family and cronies are in JI's crosshairs.
If I learn of a plot to kill Lee Kuan Yew, I would report to mata.
I want Lee Kuan Yew to die now, this is true, but I don't support violent methods to end his life.
If Lee Kuan Yew dies, Singaporeans will benefit, but if he dies through assassination, that is not right.
There shouldn't be unnecessary violence in our society.
Lee Kuan Yew is like a fishbone stuck in my throat.
As long as he lives, I will feel uncomfortable.
But no violence or terrorist activity.
