The very old man whine about western style democracy is not for Singapore. Does he know the definaton of democracy? Does it means there is a eastern style democracy.
Students with long hairs from polytechic was rounded up at nite. They were locked up for the nite in prison. They did nothig wrong but just having kopi(coffee) and teh tarik(tea with milk) in sarabalk stalls (wooden stalls selling drinks). One student was beaten up by the police. Many parents turned up to take their Children home. They were worried and not informed until they found out from the police that their children were locked up, when they lodge police report. Wht kind of gov is this ?
Remember the poster of a guy with long hair and with slogan that says “Long hairs will be served last” ? What kind of gov is this ?
Other people sitting near the sarabalk stall were arrested and put in prison. No criminal activity but just having coffee can land yourself in jail. That was Singapore in the 70s. under the same darn gov. now.
He also whine about Singapore not having natural resources. What took him so long to understand? He plunged Singapore people into hardships and miseries more than 40 years ago. If he cared to admit. Till now, the gov is still sueezing the Singapore people for their very last drop of oil from their human bodies.
The old people were not spared. “Turn silver into gold” the gov. say. Their CPF and retirement funds were taken away for simple luxuries provided y the same people who run the country.
There are more terrible things , the world doesn’t know about Singapore. keep
