To Anon 9:34,

This person continues to insist that the nuisance behaviour is a case of Chinese nationals fighting for “rights” instead of a group of people making a din for SIX hours to get whatever they want.

The family in question did not plan a protest against the bus company. They did not issue any message about improving wheelchair accessibility to the press. They complained about lunch, going to the toilet and most importantly, wanting to go home. They wanted the bus company to give them a free ride home. When the free ride was successfully demanded, they did not follow up with any suggestion for the bus company to improve on.

On top of all that, there are two Singaporeans in the family – the granny and her daughter. From the news photos it can be clearly seen that two middle-aged women were arguing with a police officer while the maid and the granny were resting on the bus seats, indicating that the Singaporean auntie was also actively involved in the argument.

Thus, it can be clearly seen that this is definitely not a case of Chinese nationals fighting for “rights”. It is a case of a group of unreasonable people who insist on bringing a wheelchair up a bus that has no wheelchair facilities and wanting to have their way no matter what.

To me it is impossible to comprehend why anyone would continue to see it as a fight for “rights” despite all the evidence against it, and worse still have the sheer audacity to pin the blame on the bus captain instead! Outrageous!

Odd that a person would have such an immovable stand.

Also strange that the person uses “we Singaporeans” and “you Singaporeans” inconsistently.

Stranger still, the person likes to use terms that the government uses, such as “sheep”, to insult the other commenters here.

So I suspected that the person is a Chinese national pretending to be a Singaporean in order to fake a moral high ground to lecture and insult real Singapore citizens.

But when I asked about the person’s birth country and current citizenship, that person refused to talk about it.

Not just once, but THREE times!

Please consider this:

No matter where a person comes from, why would anyone who calls himself/herself “The Patriot” EVER deny his/her own citizenship? For THREE times?

If I was asked about my citizenship I would say Singapore-born Singapore citizen without any hesitation.

It doesn’t matter whether I am using my own name or a pseudonym, the fact that I am a Singaporean is not something I want to deny or can deny.

So is that person so ashamed of his birth country and citizenship that it must always be denied?

Now he claims to be a “Red Indian from Idaho, USA” and seems to be unaware that real Native Americans would never use such a derogatory and obsolete term to call themselves.

Once again refusing to tell the truth, once again denying his own birth country and current citizenship.

Deception after deception after deception.

This is unbelievable!

Singapore’s online edition of their state controlled newspaper the Straits Times of Oct 22, 2009 has this story “Doc jailed for drink driving”. She is a physician, Dr. Irene Lim Kay Han, a senior consultant radiologist at the Kandang Kerbau maternity Hospital there. On April 26, 2009 at 1.30am early morning, she was found in her stationary car in the middle of Pan Island Expressway, obviously dead drunk; since you need to be completely off your rocker to be doing this! Naturally when the police arrived, they need not ask her what was she smoking. She was reeking to high heaven with alcohol.

I don’t know, and neither do I want to check the maximum penalty for this sort of thing, but I would expect an ordinary Singaporean without Lee Kuan Yew’s political connections, would have seen jail time of perhaps 2 years!

But you see, in Singapore justice is brazenly and shamelessly selective. First, if you have political connections with Lee Kuan Yew and his friends, a couple of phone calls to a particular judge in the quiet will do wonders. Instead of going to jail, which you deserve, you may never have to go to jail at all.

Let me give you an recent example. About 6 months ago, I would say, this Singapore’s state controlled newspaper reported the case of an ethnic Chinese woman editor of a Singapore Chinese newspaper, driving her car, of killing a woman pillion rider on a motorcycle and serious injuring the driver, at the intersection of Adam and Bukit Timah Road because she was not paying attention; she was talking on her cell phone. What is more she ran the red light. A very very serious offence which rightfully deserved a long period of jail time. Yes, she was sent to jail for, if I recollect, 18 months. But you know what, on appeal she did not have to go to jail at all! The judge merely said it was not her fault, this was a mere mistake, never mind the dead woman and running the red light and so on. She walks. But I am sure, if you were thinking like me, you would know why. She is connected. A card carrying sycophant of Lee Kuan Yew. What else did you expect?

And I guess in this specialist doctor radiologist’s case it is going to be the same sort of justice. She has said she will appeal. And on appeal, the Singaporean judge will come up again with some nonsense like, this was an honest mistake, she has suffered enough because she had to have sleepless nights over this , etc etc. You see, if she is convicted and sent to jail, she will lose her job as the senior radiologist. As a result instead of emigrating to some other country; if you let her go, she may stay. Her career would not be finished. And you guessed it, she will walk.

You know in any other respectable legal system, instead of people like this being let off scott free, they would receive higher sentences, precisely because they are in positions of authority and should have been more responsible. But it is the other way around in Singapore. The courts don’t care anymore care what you think. This is a dictatorship. They rule. And you obey. They are past all that. It’s their world now, not yours.

And you find the same misuse of the law when it comes to rich foreigners. I remember some time ago a Scotsman engineer who was dead drunk in Orchard Road, stole the keys to a truck and caused serious damage while on a rampage. Nothing happened to him really. All he had to was to pay a small fine. After all he was a Scots engineer with an important job in Singapore.

A Japanese business owner, thoroughly drunk assaults a taxi driver. Singapore judge lets him off with a fine. Had it been a humble Singapore citizen, unconnected that is, he goes to jail for a long time.

But the severest punishment will go to Lee Kuan Yew’s political opponents. If Dr. Chee Soon Juan did any of that, which he will not of course, he would have to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

From this disgraceful pattern of one law for some and another law for others, you can see why the Singapore Judiciary has been thoroughly disgraced. And the International Bar Association had said just that in their 72 page report that the Singaporean judiciary systematically misuses the law selectively, in most cases to silence dissent.

I think this disgraceful message has got through to the Singapore population as well. A proof of this is the fact that no one wants to be a lawyer. There are just more than 3600 lawyers in this city state of 5 million people, which claims to be involved in international banking commerce insurance and trade. Lee Kuan Yew’s recently handpicked Minister for Law K Shanmugam compares it to, believe it or not, London, New York and Rome!

With 3600 lawyers for 5 million people in a city like London! Are you kidding!

Well, some Singaporeans are more equal than others.

Since you continue to be so dumbass headed, I wld tell you. I am a Red Indian from Idaho, USA. Happy.

You think Singaporeans know their rights if they have permitted dictatorial leader to say this without any repercussion.

“Supposing Catherine Lim was writing about me and not the prime minister….She would not dare, right? Because my posture, my response has been such that nobody doubts that if you take me on, I will put on knuckle-dusters and catch you in a cul-de-sac….There is no other way you can govern in a Chinese society.” LKY

You people are more like your old fart now. Going so low and cowardly to use knuckle-dusters even on a young lady then. The same that you people going after the elderly PRC woman like a rampaging bull.

Your choice of words continue to conceal your birth country and current citizenship.

So are you a citizen, PR or FT? Or do you insist on evading the question?

Is not that I don’t want to tell you all my nationality directly. Anyway, thks for your interest. The fact is that, what is the point. I can just simply tell you that I am a M’sian, Australian, Singaporean, American, Taiwanese, etc. Would you simply believe me or could you able to check whether it is true.

So it is better for you all to deduce yourself, since you all are so interested to know my nationality, from the way I write my post and the words I used. So you cow-minded, do you understand.

I don’t need to argue with you all here. The fact of the whole matter is that sheepish and cow-minded Singaporeans have no ideas of their rights, let alone stand for it. As a result, they are liked ‘a deer in the headlight’ and therefore so shocked to see a PRC elderly woman fighting the rights for an 90 years old Singaporean granny. Instead of praising the courageous PRC woman, they hurl her as hijacker and criminal.

The cow-minded Singaporeans do not even know that they are actually slaves in their own country. And as slaves they certainly would not know their rights. If these slavery S’poreans know their rights, then they would not have their government taken their employment rights, public housing rights, education rights, political rights, constitution rights, etc, away right in front of their faces. And all they can do is to whine and blame the foreigners, even going so low to victimize an elderly women.

It seems like The Patriot is originally from China. He got all the traits of some of those unreasonable PRCs. No matter how much you argue with him, he would never admit that he’s wrong. Worse still, he will hurl all sorts of illogical arguments just to convince himself he’s right.

In his verdict, District Judge Ch’ng Lye Beng said he agreed with the Prosecution that “distributing flyers in a group of 5 or more persons criticizing the PAP government’s policies is an offence.”

without feeling any sense of ridicule that he is convicting people of offences of such frivolous nature… sucks to be a judge, unless he is just a kangaroo
