We should all be thankful to the PAP for allowing only talented foreigners into the country and keeping all the islamic loonies out.

If it were not for the foresight and sound strategic planning of the PAP, these sorts of incidences could happen in Singapore too.

I hope Singaporeans learn from this episode and throw their support behind the PAP in the coming elections.

Nothing can be more important than the safety of friends and family and we know that we can trust the PAP when it comes to keeping the country peaceful and secure.

A terrible outcome. Had it been the singapore police force they would have exercised maximum restraint and waited till the hostage taker sucumbs to incontinence.

It would be really ironical if he had already managed to overpower the terrorist before police stormed the cafe. Well, whatever really happened hope some of the hostages will rreveal the actual sequence of events. If he is indeed the hero, hope it would be made known to the world and he be honored.

Muslims always like to refer to Christians as 'Crusaders', for "invading" Christian lands that Muslims conquered previously. How come we don't have Christian fanatics holding Muslims hostage, and forcing Muslims to fly the Templars' or Hospitallar's flag from a cafe or kebab shop?

You sure or not? You haven't heard of Catholic complicity in the Rwandan genocide where nearly a million Tutsi – mostly Muslims – were killed by Christians?


  • Rwanda Massacres
    In 1994 in the small african country of Rwanda in just a few months several hundred thousand civilians were butchered, apparently a conflict of the Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups.
For quite some time I heard only rumours about Catholic clergy actively involved in the 1994 Rwanda massacres. Odd denials of involvement were printed in Catholic church journals, before even anybody had openly accused members of the church.

Then, 10/10/96, in the newscast of S2 Aktuell, Germany - a station not at all critical to Christianity - the following was stated:

"Anglican as well as Catholic priests and nuns are suspect of having actively participated in murders. Especially the conduct of a certain Catholic priest has been occupying the public mind in Rwanda's capital Kigali for months. He was minister of the church of the Holy Family and allegedly murdered Tutsis in the most brutal manner. He is reported to have accompanied marauding Hutu militia with a gun in his cowl. In fact there has been a bloody slaughter of Tutsis seeking shelter in his parish. Even two years after the massacres many Catholics refuse to set foot on the threshold of their church, because to them the participation of a certain part of the clergy in the slaughter is well established. There is almost no church in Rwanda that has not seen refugees - women, children, old - being brutally butchered facing the crucifix.

According to eyewitnesses clergymen gave away hiding Tutsis and turned them over to the machetes of the Hutu militia.

In connection with these events again and again two Benedictine nuns are mentioned, both of whom have fled into a Belgian monastery in the meantime to avoid prosecution. According to survivors one of them called the Hutu killers and led them to several thousand people who had sought shelter in her monastery. By force the doomed were driven out of the churchyard and were murdered in the presence of the nun right in front of the gate. The other one is also reported to have directly cooperated with the murderers of the Hutu militia. In her case again witnesses report that she watched the slaughtering of people in cold blood and without showing response. She is even accused of having procured some petrol used by the killers to set on fire and burn their victims alive..." [S2]

Tit for tat is fine. It helps keep the world population in check.

This is what happens without the PAP in charge.

Singaporeans should be thankful that something similar won't ever happen in Singapore thanks to the excellent security systems implemented by the PAP.

Must Thank PAP for opening his big mouth defy the Terrorist that got Miss Lo Lawyer shot dead in Pakistan
few years back!

Day one of Martin Place siege
When Tori Johnson heard that six-year-old Henry Hinchcliff had never eaten an Easter egg, he was determined to fix the situation.

The Lindt cafe manager invited Henry and his family to visit him in Martin Place and collect a bag of Easter goodies he'd had specially made for them.

And so one day in April, Mercedez Hinchcliff and her children, Henry and Kate, set off from their home in Wollongong for the ultimate chocolate experience.

"It's definitely something that stuck out in his mind as being one of his best days," Mrs Hinchcliff said of her six-year-old son, who has a rare disease that limits his diet to fewer than 50 foods.

"It taught him that people go out of their way for people."

It was the only time Mrs Hinchcliff met Mr Johnson, 34, who was killed in the siege on his cafe, but the kindness he showed her family on that day has stuck with her.

It began when Mrs Hinchcliff's friend Hayley Rowney got in touch with Mr Johnson and explained Henry's condition - eosinophilic esophagitis.

"There are so many foods [Henry] can't eat," Mrs Hinchcliff said of her son.

"He can actually have chocolate - the Lindt 85 per cent is the only one he can have in the world, but they don't make an Easter egg out of it.

"[Mr Johnson] said, 'no problem, we'll make you one'. They made a huge one, and when they found out my daughter couldn't have dairy, they actually made her one as well," Mrs Hinchcliff said.

"They told my friend Hayley it would take quite awhile to make because it would need so much chocolate."

Just before Easter, Mrs Hinchcliff and Mrs Rowney took their children to Sydney to collect their surprise chocolate bounty.

Mrs Hinchcliff said Mr Johnson was "really happy" as he presented Henry and Kate with their eggs, and insisted they take photos of the occasion.

The eggs were "huge, and really intricate, obviously hand-made".

While Kate, 3, may not hold on to clear memories of her first Easter egg, Henry brings it up all the time.

Mrs Hinchcliff said she was heartbroken when she found out that Mr Johnson was among the victims of the Lindt cafe siege. She hoped his parents, Australian artist Ken Johnson and his former wife Rowen, would take some comfort by hearing of their son's kind gesture towards her children.

:We are devastated to hear of his passing and wish to pass along our appreciation of him and our deepest condolences to his family. We will always remember him fondly."

Mr Johnson's parents released a statement via journalist Ben Fordham earlier on Tuesday, saying: "We are so proud of our beautiful boy Tori, gone from this earth but forever in our memories as the most amazing life partner, son and brother we could ever wish for".

Mr Johnson had worked at the Lindt cafe since October 2012, and, before that, had worked at a host of restaurants in Sydney and the United States.

His family has gathered at the 34-year-old's Redfern apartment, His brother James is flying to Sydney from Canada.

It is understood the cafe manager's partner of 14 years, Thomas Zinn, is being comforted along with the Johnsons at the couple's home.

Friends of Mr Johnson described him on Tuesday as "a loving, placid and very gentle soul ... a true gentleman".

Deputy Police Commissioner Catherine Burn would not comment on Tuesday about claims that Mr Johnson was shot when he tried to wrestle the weapon from Monis, to allow the other hostages to escape.

It would be really ironical if he had already managed to overpower the terrorist before police stormed the cafe.

As the manager of the cafe, he could have help all of the hostages escape first when that mofo bozo is sound asleep, and let the police move in with absolute ease.
