Goh CT: Aung San Suu Kyi "Is Part Of The Problem" In Burma
-
The PAP is going to take a page out of the military junta's playbook if they are ever voted out of power.
Remember what MM said, he will call in the army if there is a freak election result.
-
while i got that etc etc at the back of my posting ya...not only nuclear, it can be an objective to align Singapore with China in terms of economy, Mynamar can be another alternatives to China for Singapore.
Taiwan..USA
S Korea...USA
Japan..USA
HongKong...already China
So Singapore have to be deviate itself abit from the USA perspective on mynamar inorder to create a solid International relationship with China. Afterall, our govt should have lost some faith in US economy with the lately crisis.
It is a matter of delighting China

She broke the rules, she will pay for breaking them. If a person is under house arrest, then she should have harbour someone else in her house.

Aung is USA educated, she is partly USA, the junta can anytime sentence her to death, but they are just keeping her as a pawn to frustrate US. During her boom period before election, she should have focus n controlled the army, but her focus was on the peoples, which are weak in gathering and co-operation. Therefore tho she was said to won the election in the early 90s, the junta can overule it with the army in their hands.
If you study Mynamar peoples, they got lots of self interest in each individual, and in Mynamar, there are lots of different groups and tribes, that makes cooperation difficult and therefore revolution is totally out of the question. So much so that the west can pity their one democrat student in mynamar, they did nothing much except pressuring Asean to breakaway from Mynamar. And do you really think the west gives so much damn about her..i dun think so, they can get 2 US journalists out of N korea but cannot get her out of mynamar, that is the sad sorry for her.
Morever, big Brother China is not an advocate of democracy, and yet they enjoyed Mynamar natural resources in exchange for their present there. I feel sad about her, but there is nothing much you can do, and the west only knows how to grumble and post news of all sort of nonsense. As I said, the junta can kill her anytime.
Be blessed

If the opposition can gain power in the next election despite fielding less than adequate candidates to gain a majority in the parliament, that is damn freakish.
I will be like, "what the fuck, send in the army, terrorist rigged the election system!"

Short of the mentally ill - what would you consider as "less than adequate" ?
How would you know that a candidate is "less than adequate" ?
By what measure would you know that a candidate is adequate for the task of representing Singaporeans in Parliament ?
What do you think will be the minimum requirement for anyone to represent Singaporeans in Parliament ?
Other then representing Singaporeans in Parliament - what do you think is the minimum requirement for anyone to be a Minister ?
How would you expect yourself to be given any opportunity in an interview for a job that is vacant, and which you believe yourself to be adequately qualified ?
How would you expect the prospective employer to receive and to handle your application for the vacancy ?
-
that shows how much he believes in democracy

Did Aung Sang Suu Kyi break the rules, or did the Myanmese Military broke their own rules by being lax in allowing someone to enter her confined compound that was supposed to be sealed ?
Was she harboring the American, or did the American refused to leave despite being asked to do so ?
By your standards of intelligent judgment, you will probably charged Chia Thye Poh for harboring a visitor who managed to penetrate the ISD security placed around him, and with the visitor refusing to leave even as Chia demand it.
In any case, since it was established that a hog with an IQ of 2 needs an IQ of 3 to grunt, it is not surprising that your statement is loaded in the typical thinking of the Myanmese Military Junta that is poorly phrased to leave the blame on others :
"If a person is under house arrest, then she should have harbour someone else in her house."

If i recalled right, the US guy thought that God gave him a vision to be the defender of the oppressed. Got him real worked up to meet her.
Don't think it was her fault

While the world condemns Myanmar, the Singapore Government seems to be the only one praising the Myanmar Government for the generosity in halving the sentence to 18 months imprisonment for Aung San Suu Kyi to be in house arrest instead of the dreaded prison.
S'pore disappointed with Aung San Suu Kyi's trial verdict
SINGAPORE: Singapore has expressed its disappointment over the verdict in the Aung San Suu Kyi trial.
Singapore's Foreign Ministry said Ms Suu Kyi did not plan to violate the terms of her house arrest, and the intruder into her house was a person who appears to be of unsound mind.
However, Singapore is happy the Myanmar government has exercised its sovereign prerogative to half Ms Suu Kyi's sentence to 18 months, and that she will be given house arrest instead of imprisonment.
The ministry added that it is heartened to hear Ms Suu Kyi could receive amnesty for the remainder of her sentence and will be granted access to doctors, newspapers, party members and guests with the government's permission.
The ministry said these are significant gestures, but hopes Myanmar will also allow Ms Suu Kyi to join in the political process as soon as possible.
It added that a meaningful dialogue between all parties and the government is the only hope for Myanmar's long-term political stability.

It seems that Singapore never conducted its foreign policy with any sort of dignity or morality.
Domestic policy also repressive and full of lies.
USA illegal invasion of Iraq the SAF also sent naval forces to help.
Goh Chok Tong said Aung San Suu Kyi is a problem.
This sets a very bad example for the citizens of the country.
Very hard to take pride like that.
-
It is surprising that the Singapore Government has been able to read between the lines of the Official Statement from the Myanmar Government and to be able to figure out that there will be "amnesty for the remainder of the sentence" for Aung Sang Suu Kyi.
How did the brilliant Singapore Government managed to decipher the statement that was released in the official Myanmese language ?
Or was the trial and subsequent outcome of a light sentencing of Aung San Suu Kyi discussed with Goh Chok Tong during his recent trip to Myanmar ?

I think you go and tell Lee Kuan Yew about Aung San Suu Kyi's 14+ years under house arrest he will laugh.
What is Aung San Suu Kyi compared to Chia Thye Poh?

The Man and his expressed thoughts -
"I have visited (Burma) and I know that there is only one instrument of government, and that is the army...If I were Aung San Suu Kyi, I think I'd rather be behind a fence and be a symbol than after two or three years, be found impotent." - SM Lee Kuan Yew, Reuters, Jun 6, 1996
"Put it this way. As long as Jeyaretnam [Workers' Party leader] stands for what he stands for -- a thoroughly destructive force -- we will knock him. There are two ways of playing this. One, a you attack the policies; two, you attack the system. Jeyaretnam was attacking the system, he brought the Chief Justice into it. If I want to fix you, do I need the Chief Justice to fix you? Everybody knows that in my bag I have a hatchet, and a very sharp one. You take me on, I take my hatchet, we meet in the cul-de-sac. That's the way I had to survive in the past. That's the way the communists tackled me. He brought the Chief Justice into the political arena." - SM Lee Kuan Yew, The Man & His Ideas, 1997
"Low salaries will draw in the hypocrites who sweet talk their way into power in the name of public service, but once in charge will show their true colour, and ruin the country." - 2007, on Minister's Pay
He did started with very low pay in the 1957, now he has shown his true colors.
We did lose US$100 Billion in year 2008, and the favorite Jinx remain at the helm of TH despite having made an early loss of US$500 Million PLUS with Micropolis, graduating with another major loss of US$1 Billion with Shin Corp, and by now would have got a Masters with a loss of US$40 Billion from a slew of TH investments in several Western Financial Institutions.

Quite sad and unfortunate for Singapore to have this type of filth such as Lee Kuan Yew to be a political leader for 50 years.
Other countries have political leaders where people can take pride in, can cite inspiring speeches etc, but with Lee Kuan Yew you can only cite filth.
Luckily we still have some heros like JBJ, Tan Kah Kee, Lim Chin Siong, Chia Thye Poh, Ho Piao, Said Zahari etc, to inspire future generations of political leaders.
Bastards like Lee Kuan Yew, who go and collaborate with Japanese, go and hide his ang moh name, go and pretend to be chinese, go and suppress the language of the majority group in Singapore, this type of filth such as Lee Kuan Yew is worse than a dog to me.
There is no way that anyone can go and draw what political inspiration from scum such as Lee Kuan Yew.

Hey! What’s happening here? George Yeo doesn’t know the Myanmar’s history, again here someone self-claimed “SE Asia Political Analyst” said Suu Kyi is US educated. No, she is not US educated; she is Oxford-educated. Oxford is in UK for those who do not know this.
After all, fundamentally, it is not about any country base, it is about human race. The evaluation of human race becomes getting more and more polite over the thousands years. Our accentors had fought for and there are sacrifices for right against the might. One best example in human history is Jesus Christ faith in the “right” against mighty Romans and Jewish aristocrat of that time. It is not about US, UK, China nor Singapore. It is about our human race and inspiration for our generation and future generation.
We, with our clean spirit should analyst ourselves whether we are “loving the right” or “lobbying the might”. On the other hand, we selfish instinct align to the might for our own comfort and excuses. That is where the question arises to your courage of standing for the right.
Ethically mind personality would not have discrete thought if someone can kill other just because one is mightier than other. Actually, No! they can’t, because back-fired will be bigger to suffer. Foolish act of mistake may do that and that ensure lead them to the destruction path. When the conflict bigger there will be innocent victims as well. That is why we need political leaders, regional leaders, world leaders and regional organizations are responsible to foresee and prevent those conflicts before they arise.

At the end of the day, Singaporean will pay the price for the wrong policies that the Govt had done....Perharps Singaporean have not had the experience of feeling the consequences of wrong policies.
Keeping a pet Gozila when we have no abilities to handle the consequences. We will be Eaten by Gozila.
(Remember the relationship between China and Vietnam, At least China has the abilities to teach Vietnam a lesson)
There will be a black mark for GCT statement and his support for the military Junta. It goes down with his legacy.
Generation to come, Singaporean will have to wash the stained of Support for the military junta. at the UN Level.
-
from the start, Singpore's stance (regarding Ang Sang...) has been rather lukewarm and subseqeunt to the trial, the local media reported that Singapore's (govt) was 'dissapointed' at the outcome.
What a joke! They relegated principles to the dustbin so as to benefit or not lose out economically.
For, goodness sake - don't preach about good governance, principles, accountability, the rule of law and so on so forth to Singaporeans. It is insulting and downright hypocrisy.
PS - One who knows that a crime is taking place and not doing anything about is simply put are guilty to the crime of complicity.

No,u are wrong!!!Its the exact opposite,most Singaporeans thinking are way forward,but Singapore government n leaders are lagging behind.This is particularly true in all dictatorial or communist countries.
I dont know why u want to say the opposite.Judging from your forum name,my guess is that u are probably Westerners.Why u want to side our dictator government?You will get benefit from our corrupted PAP government?What is your intention?Is it becoz u Western countries already liberated,now all becomes democracy,thats why u want Asian countries ppl to suffer in dictator ruling?
Let me tell u,if dictatorship can work in Asian countries,n those dictators find out a way to do it.It will soon spread like a "Virus" towards Western countries as well!!!History tells us that nothing will remain unchanged,so if we remain slaggish n contented,we will get replaced.Look at Athen,the most ancient democracy state,they also thought that their democracy will last.But also get defeated by dictatorial state like Sparta n Macethonia.
So,if dictatorship can work here,sooner or later,some greedy n selfish ppl from your "Homeland" will copy the exact "formula" n implement in your countries.And u will taste the exact feeling of how we feel!!!Dont forget,this is the age of "Globalisation",even if Westerners thought that their democracy foundation is solid,but like i said before,nothing will remain unchanged.And if given a chance,Western democracy can fall if they feel contented n reluctant to help the rest of the world to shake of the influence of autocracy.
