    oh my gosh… these are grown women. on both sides. and while I am willing to give leeway for the audience to be rowdy – look at the first civil societies in other countries – it is shameful how the ‘authority figures’ are happily continuing to treat them like children, no matter if they act like them. it. does. not. work.

    My wife was there. Based on her account, this is what I see the situation is.

    Actually, I think that was Maureen Ong, not Sally Ang. She’s the lady seated at the far right of the table, furthermost from the podium.

    Can you confirm?

    OK. Just heard the audio recording. I was wrong, it’s Sally Ang and not Maureen Ong.

    Solo Bear, you know that The Brotherhood are mercenaries. You also know that Darkness is leaving.

    But yet, you have taken a stand too.

    What else do you know?

    [...] Or The Highway” Ang did not endear herself to the crowd and perhaps scored an own goal with her screaming. This makes me wonder how she treats her kindred and troubled women she’s supposed to be [...]

    i think DR THIO should start going to geylang with her troops to counsel all the cheating men—husbands, boyfrens and fathers

    geylang has been infested these days. You should start on your new mission!

    I linked my site to one of wayang’s post. Brotherhood, whoever they are, linked my site to theirs. I did not solicit help from brotherhood. I have no control over what other sites do.

    What is this shoestring stuff some paranoid gays hve been saying I am linked with?

    Care to share some light here?

    This removal tactic is sooooo government. That’s how dudes in power silence the righteous crowd. No wonder the righteous crowd had to holler and yell to make their voices heard. If not their voices would be oppressed. This is called “competitive evolution”. Brainwashed people won’t know about this natural phenomenon that’s drawn for all organisms living on this planet.
