Dr Chee Soon Juan
Personally, i respect Dr Chee because he is a man that believes in setting right from wrong. Kudos to you. However, i do not agree with his method on challenging the government in a suicidal manner. Don't he has to think of his family? I agree when he made a point on stating that the government is using her powers to block out opposition voices. True. What the opposition parties in Singapore should do is to unite. Leave your differences aside and unite to voice out your causes for the sake of Singapore. Look at the opposition parties in Malaysia. They are becoming immensely, although not that quick enough, strong because they unite.
It is true that Singaporeans would rather choose a government that can ensure them stability and wealth rather than freedom that comes with a cost and this will be a logical decision by most sane people. Do not blame them because they have never being oppressed before. You need to lose something to miss it. Thus, that describes the collective and uniform behaviour of most Singaporeans in not being able to truly understand and value justice, democracy and freedom.
I am not a fan of democracy and neither am i a fan of communism but i can see where the PAP is heading to. PAP is very smart in mixing both ideologies to best suit Singapore and this accounts for the unique style of governing in Singapore. Communism failed in both USSR and Communist China and democracy seems to be failing too in USA (during George Bush's regime).
No government is perfect and this applies to PAP but they are trying their best to make Singapore a force to be reckon with. If you look at the opposition parties' lineup, you would not see that many credible individuals. Of course you can not judge them by their track records because they have never govern Singapore before. You can judge them by their education background and community work. My advise to the opposition parties is to engage with the society and nurture them to like politics. If i am a virgin at politics, i would be put off from politics totally because i would be too afraid to get involved with Dr Chee and hang around with people who would drag me into troubles like getting sued.
Personally, I find it hard to contact the opposition parties. I have always wanted to be an opposition member but i really do not know where to start. I e-mailed Workers' Party twice but i have yet to receive any reply since 2005. How disappointing!
There are many mistakes and weaknesses of the PAP that the opposition parties can point out to the public but they have failed to devise a proper channel so that their voices can be heard. Stop complaining about the government censoring the media to block out dissent. What can you gain from complaining? Nothing basically except useless sympathy of helpless Singaporeans. If the PAP is using the law to their advantage, then play their game. Bring this matter to the ICJ or apply for Queen's Council (if it is possible that is). If it fails, no harm trying again and again.
Let me assure you that demonstrations, protests and strikes are never constructive but always destructive be it peaceful or violent. It disrupts business activities. You have to understand the nature of our economy as we depend heavily on investments from abroad and thus disruption to businesses is never welcome here.
Opposition parties are necessary to us because it keeps the PAP on its toes. Opposition parties must not squander any chances in any general elections. They must persuade the public aggressively to be with them. Be united as one big opposition party and they will be strong. Educate the public.
If no one else have the guts to give punches to the government, then i advocate Dr Chee. Someone has to do it. I salute you for that. I have always believe that justice will prevail. Good always triumph over evil. God-willing. Enjoy the clip below..
