Rajah & Tann - Conspiracy?

[frenchbriefs]

thats ok i love communism ideology and communist russia but it scares me when i see people take communist Mao propaganda to the extremes and take it too literally and let it narrow their viewpoint.then again i hate those who hate and bash on communism because they fail to see capitalism in itself is defective and not able to work for majority of the population.we need a system of capitalism and socialism together in order to work.

but im just surprised to see theres actually a real communist movement in singapore and actual communists in the past.....i thought all that was a myth and a construct of old fart's lies and paranoia.

In those days if you were intelligent, well educated and had a social conscious, communism would certainly appeal to you. Especially when you studied in the UK where the capitalist were exploiting the everyone else while staying in huge countryside manors with a stable of staff. The rest of UK was struggling with polluted factories, smog and poor wages with no welfare, job protection etc. Marx founded Communism sitting in the middle of London and saw for himself.

Till today Communism is mesmerising to me. Unfortunately, they allowed uneducated arseholes and half educated students to join the cause. People like Chin Peng and his ilk committed atrocities like slitting the stomach of pregnant rubber tappers in Chinese villages to install fear so that they can get a ready supply of food for their soldiers. When they could no longer move in the Malaysian jungles, they turned on each other and had a series of purges and executed their own based on false confession and kangaroo justice. It ended up with 4 factions.

The families of fighters who were wrongly executed by their leaders have never found justice or closure. And we allowed Chin Peng to trapeze from Singapore to Canberra to London for fuck.

Hmm... seems like the Law Society is a place of backstabbing and secret intrigues. Just like the Game of Thrones.

Do they have naked damsels? & plenty of "mangoes"..dangling around??

I am with you on Mao.

His ideology did not even come close to Communism. In fact he had his own ideology and was famous for his United Front doctrine which is actually more a military and political strategy to work with your enemies first and then take over.

Interesting it was Sam who raised that issue that Mao was responsible for largest massacre in World history in this forum. Read Frank Dikotter's book on the Tragedy of. Liberation. He is a scholar and the book is riveting and at the same time can reduce you to tears. The South where our ancestors came from were largely spared but the country had many evils and the world was not aware because they had closed the country for decades.

What is it about communism that you love ?

 

[frenchbriefs]

What is it about communism that you love ?

because it is not shallow and superficial.....putting the people,the society,the masses before self,everything resonates perfectly with whats right.the culture and unity.

unfortunately human nature is shallow,greedy and selfish and shortsighted....thats why capitalism works to a certain extend,capitalism treats humans as animals not as a collective.dont worry one day mankind will evolve to become highly advanced super intelligent aliens,then we will see the truth.

 

[Leongsam]

unfortunately human nature is shallow,greedy and shelfish and shortsighted.

So do you not agree that a system that takes human nature into account will work much better than one that ignores it.

The communist history in Singapore is also exciting as none other than Ho Chi Min was in Singapore when it was founded. It's history has been fiercely shielded by ISD because the links to our glorious ruling party is too close. So far only Jek Yun Tong and Jamed Fu were revealed to be full fledged card carrying members of the Communist party. Their leader was also a close friend of Goh Chok Tong , Lim Kim San and Raja. And it was Raja who was his roommate for some time.

They have kissed and made up. Goh Chok Tong arranged for Plen's son to be brought to Singapore and Ho Ching arranged for an engineering job in ST. Sons and daughters were given jobs in places like SPH and various Institutes of NUS.

So when Associate. Professor Kumar Ramakrishna writes about Singapore Communism, he writes from materials carefully vetted and selected by Mr F. of ISD library. And he was preaching to Thum about context.

but im just surprised to see theres actually a real communist movement in singapore and actual communists in the past.....i thought all that was a myth and a construct of old fart's lies and paranoia.

And yet the Chinese is still demanding from the Japanese apology & compensation for their action in NANJING? & forget that, their own dear leader killed more of their own people...than the marauding Japanese!??

How STUPID CAN THE CHINESE people be?..

well both systems are not perfect.communism would be more relevant in the early 20th century.

but thats why deng xiaoping took steps towards reforming communism!!!towards a softer,better communism!!!!

I do agree that Lightning has constructed a system
That brings together the worst of capitalism and communism
No strikes, no independent judiciary, no free press
On other hand I give Lightning full marks for using human nature
Exploiting base instincts to create a dictatorship by stealth
A nation can survive fools but not treason of such proportions

singapore is not communist....singapore is facist,pseudodemocractic,anti nationalist,open door whore house.

Exactly. Nanjing pales in comparison to what Mao did. Read the book bro.

The West is leading mankind because it is built on Capitalism but heavily moderated by liberalism and socialism. The free press is the work of liberalism and nothing to do with the Capitalism. Trying passing a law in Use to muzzle the press.

Anti trust laws came out from the west to break up excessive capitalism. The laws were not the work of Capitalism.

Worlds richest man Carlos Slim of slum land Mexico is losing half his empire because the new govt has decided that Capitalism has created a monster.

So do you not agree that a system that takes human nature into account will work much better than one that ignores it.

see?communism is winning....capitalism can only take u so far.....to reach swiss standard of living,singapore must learn to embrace communism.

Demanding apology and compensation for war atrocities committed by foreign invader
Is not inconsistent with fighting against dictatorship imposed by your own people
Unsinkified natives can hate Kempetei and Lightning simultaneously
If someone had worked for both he can and should be reviled more
Similarly smart Chinese like this botak will never come to Sinkieland
Trouble makers like him will go to America and Gila ones to Red Dot
How Stewpig can peasant Sinkies be like this also cannot understand

Hello, bro. We are living in the Indian century! It must be the demands of the CECA we signed with India.

CJ Sundaresh Menon, AG VK Rajah. 4-5 Senior Counsels in Rajah & Tann. Why didnt Shanmugam raid his old law firm Allen & Gledhill? First time we have Indians in the three key posts. Conspiracy? Old bird Chao Hick Tin not good enough for CJ?

 

[kingrant]

Very interesting and salacious revelations, Scroobal. As always. Tks.

 

[Areopagus]

TT Rajah was the one who kept the BOC in the hands of the PRCs when the ROC tried to take it over

 

[Leongsam]

No he didn't. What he did do was to abandon central planning, the hallmark of the Marxist-Leninist states, in favor of a free market economy adopted by capitalist systems. However, he had to tread carefully so as not to cause a major upheaval so he went to great lengths to package his reforms so that they still appeared to fit into the communist mould.

Wiki has a good article : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deng_Xiaoping#Economic_reforms

You really need to brush up on your knowledge before you start choosing which side of the fence you want to be on.

In theory, communism is fantastic. I too was much enamored towards the system when I was young and ignorant. Imagine everyone happily together all taking care of each other in a classless society where everyone is absolutely equal. No jealousy, no one upmanship, no resentment, no unfairness... sounds like heaven on earth doesn't it.

It looks like the SG govt or administration works in mysterious ways.
It is unusual to appoint a newer Justice as CJ, when there are several Justices who have been at the High Court longer than this S.M.
