What will you give for the truth?
Notice the title of this post, notice the title of my blog. They are both there for a reason.
Part 1
In 1997, a successful lawyer decided to take part in an election as an opposition candidate. During one of his rally, he said some unflattery remarks about the PAP and was surprisingly subquesently sued for......guess what, defamation. He ended up having to pay only US$2.1 million to 11 PAP candidates. So on average, each PAP candidates receive a mere $200,000. The lawyer's wife was also brought in to the issue. The successful lawyer, being unable to pay was declared a bankrupt, forecd to flee oversees, and currently there is a warrent for his arrest should he come back to Singapore.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2
What is the problem with democracy in Singapore? Is the problem the PAP, One day you read in the bias newspaper one PAP candidate saying that the elections is more than just house visiting, the next day you hear another PAP candidate saying how little house the opposition in his ward has visited. One day you hear Mr Goh or Mr Lee challenging the opposition to discuss big issues and not attempt stir up smaller issues and made them big. The next day you hear George Yeo and Wong Kan Seng telling the media why James Gomez should not stand for elections as he is a liar and blah blah blah......So much for discussing big issues.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 3
Maybe the problem with the elections is that the oppositon is simply not good enough...I mean WP has tried it's upmost best to get highly educated people with their Degrees and Masters in *** from *** university. WOW, big deal huh! I mean so are the PAP candidates right? even though people like Mr Khaw gets called the 'kampung minister' by the media so as to deceive the public and mislead the public to assume that they are voting for a down-to-earth minister. I assure you, Mr Khaw, your down to earth minister does not take the MRT and he does not know how shitty the MRT is. Neither does the transport minister.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 4
I am frankly sick and tired of the games played by both PAP and opposition candidates during the recent elections. They played the elections like as if is a football match. A football match managed by non other than a bias SPH referee. I had enough of the empty promises both side made, sick of the media trying to make people like george yeo and cynthia phau look like down-to-earth singaporeans shaking the hands of every elderly wherever they go. Sick of all this bull shit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 5
A personal attack on Mah Bow Tan.
If I ever hear one more PAP member ever saying that the opposition only create trouble and does not provide any solution to problems. I will do my upmost best to ensure that specific PAP member will eat up his own rubbish. Do you think you are God? No one give you the divine right to say 'so and so' is only all talk and can't do anything at all. The fact that opposition candidates are not elected to parliament prevents them from showing whether or not they can find solutions to problem. No one should say someone else is unable to perform a role unless the person has already have a chance. And If it was up to me, Mr Mah, I will put a WP candidate in the place of yours.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 6
http://singaporeelection.blogspot.com disagree with my view in the previous entry about me saying the blog has a lot of biased opinion. Well my view is that they actually are. Maybe they simply do not want to admit to that. In any case, my point is that you should have your own opinion, not simply what someone tells you. Easier said that done.
One rule of propengda is that the average person wants to have his/her own opinion on issues. However the problem is that most people are simply unable to comprehend the very same issues whereby they want to have their opinion upon. That is where propengda and the mass media comes in.
What propendga attempts to do is to simplify complicating issues so that the layman in the streets will be able to understand the problem. However what the layman in the street does not know is that some facts are deliberately withhold in the 'simplifying process' from him so that the opinion he will finally have in the end is actually generated not by himself, but by the person who attempts to deceive him.
That is what the PAP does so well, Goh Chok Tong is a master in that, just read the papers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 7
My final point.
I just want to ask everyone reading this post one question. What will you give for the Truth? And when I say Truth, I refer not only to political truth but all the truth hidden in this world. From the truth of Leonard Da Vinci, the truth of NKF, the truth of the temesak holding, the truth (secrets) of myself, the truth of religion, the truth of space, the truth of the PAP, what are you willing to give for all these things that only God knows?
Sadly for myself and many people, we are happy to live our life the same way. We do not want to know all these truth.

"The fact that opposition candidates are not elected to parliament prevents them from showing whether or not they can find solutions to problem. No one should say someone else is unable to perform a role unless the person has already have a chance."
Well, even Mr. Jeyaretnam noted that the current opposition parties of SDA and WP (under the current leadership) provide no real alternative to the PAP regime, and that, it is no wonder why the PAP continue attacking them on 'recycling' PAP-ideas. The only reason why Low and Chiam are being tolerated is because they do not question the underlying system, but Mr. Jeyaretnam and the SDP continue to be obstructed because they demand a different system.
And maybe you should have mentioned who the successful lawyer was. Perhaps, you're refering to Mr. Tang Liang Hong, and interestingly enough, Singapore Election Watch carried an interesting article on him on: http://singaporeelection.blogspot.com/2006/05/feature-on-tang-liang-hong.html.
Anyway, interesting read nonetheless.

Both Low and Chiam are not being tolerated. The reason why the PAP does not choose to go all out against them is simply because both of them have been around for years and are well liked by many and also respected by those who do not support them.
A full-flege offense to attempt to discredit them may even back-fired on the PAP.
In any case, it is perhaps sadly true that in the Singapore context, one do have to co-operate to a large extent with the PAP before you will even be 'allow' to have your say without being afraid of being sued should you unknowingly mention something incorrect against the PAP.
Maybe Singaporeans have unknowingly steered themselves to a modern day version of the Nazi
Thanks for your opinion singapore elections/ And dinesh, it is also nice to know that there is at least someone argeeing with what you written
