……….. The US press has a lot of “journalistic ego”. Nothing incites more excitement from them than when they are shut out of events. Reporters are humans(and very proud egoistical ones too) too. Their subjective opinion on a country has very little correlation to actual life in that country for the everyman….”

What a mouthful of false utterances?

You didn’t hear the impeachment of the late President Richard Nixon after the press exploded Watergate scandal forcing his resignation instead of going into prison?

You didn’t hear of the Pentagon Papers that helped ended the senseless war in Vietnam killing American GIs and Vietnamese babies?

Or you would much prefer to be blind of truth?

If you want the truth, here it is, come and get it.

ARE YOU KEEN OR ARE YOU SHY OF THE TRUTHS???

Autocracy brings untold mishaps and hidden failures BEST BLINDFOLD COMPLETELY from the eyes of manipulated and terrorised citizenry.

Is the housing crisis, an economy admitted needing a huge radical shake-up and chaos of overflow and over flooding of foreign migration against all logics of economic and environmental damage NOT GOOD EXAMPLES OF monumental failures?

So what is the claimed but found wanting of achievement measuring of superior leadership and organisations – PLENTY OF DEADWOODS AROUND??

A COMPLETE HOAX!

Singaporeans better wake up now and kick their ar$es out!

“No. They come here, make their money and they back off.”

That is exactly old fart want them to do. What do you think the old fart trample on local talent, and entice the foreigners (Ang Moh especially) with tons of carrot and free money ?

What image are we projecting ?

I can’t help getting the impression that LKY is just acting like a 2 headed snake.

At one time he hated the communists so much to the extent that he wreck havoc by destroying Nantah University. Many Nantah graduates can vouch for this fact. Now he is workshipping the communist China for the wealth it can bring us.

On the other hand, he is now praying hard for the US to remain as Big Brother against the threat and rise of military China. He is just trying to have the cake and eat it too.

Is there any honour left in him ?

Are we all stupid or what?
If the foreign powers can make money, using free buildings, free offices, and free tax from Singapore government, will they be bothered to fight for human rights for Singaporeans?

No. They come here, make their money and they back off. They will not interfere with LKY. In fact they just gave him a lifetime award….for what? For facilitating a free port, free country of coolies for their American businesses.

Ha haha….anyone who thinks otherwise, needs to have their balls realigned. I mean brain.

If the correspndent had taken the trouble to read the tarsncript of the Q&A session that Shamugan had with the lawyers, he would hardly describe the Singapore stance as defensive.It was brilliant and if it was a ‘lecture’ the lawyers were gtrateful for it as is evident from the comments of the panellists. So please report fairly. I do not think you have an “independent perspective” but the least you could do is to respect your readers and report fairly. Comment ins another thing.
As for comment, my view is that as we move to a more dangerous world, the Singapore position will be more appreciated with countries in the West rolling backwards the more gross over-stepping of community interests.
