Its is not only criminals but those who face an unexpected event that is not acceptable to society such as suicides. Next thing you know we have another Bourne Supremacy with Matt Damon running down the escalator of Raffles Place MRT.
What has suicide got to do with this? Please elaborate? Oh Master Yoda, I’m afraid I don’t get this Jedi mind trick.
In the old days, it was not uncommon of rich families with drug addict sons and daughters. The excuse was serving NS / reservists / studying overseas.
So what are you implying? That we should treat all second generation descendents of rich families with suspicion? Crab logic and incoherent thinking
! Some rich families have second generations that are leading their countries to ruin through bad policies. Is that not a greater sin? Or are you saying that critics needed to be silenced, so these second generations don’t have to bother with multi tasking for which they are ill suited. Something missing in their DNA.
There are of course politically motivated persecution and its one of the most effective tool in any government's armoury. The most infamous case was Chee misappropriating his research funds to pay to courier his wife's dissertation to Princeton. Sadly it was a criminal act but it is lesson to all budding politicians. You better be whiter than white. Any govt will bring out the magnifying glass to get rid of their enemies. Politicians owe to themselves and to their party which is investing in them to be clean. Why do silly things in the first place.
First, Chee’s case is in itself questionable. Read posts in other threads that suggested that the wife’s research was related to his own, so it is not as if he claimed courier expenses so that his wife could get the latest model Gucci handbag before it hits the stores in Sinkieland. Even if it is a crime, there is the very important principle of proportionality. In other words, the punishment must fit the crime. How many dollars were involved? A firing from his lecturer post was proportionate? Please go and get your Jedi head examined.
Second, NO politician is involved in this case.
Third, a more appropriate comparison would be with Chris Lingle.
Four, are you now blurring the distinction between political party and government? Isn’t that something the PAPzis always like to do?
Fifth, why are you bringing irrelevant things up? What mind trick are you using? Please enlighten me. I like to be able to fool others with subliminal messages aka Shitty Times.
David Marshall is one guy who is notorious for his clean image. He was so rigid that he paid a political price. I rather have David Marshall to invest in and people like him.
Irrelevant comparison, trying to take advantage of Sinkies’ nostalgia for a respected and dead politician. There is a funny thing with these PAPzis. They persecute their political opponents when those are alive. Once they are SAFELY six feet underground, these very same PAPzis take advantage of Sinkies’ good feelings towards these DEAD opponents. Why’s that? Oh, Master Yoda, you have a lot to teach me.
Now back to Teys and Todds of the world. Nobody can take away the art of clutching straws. Life carries on.
This technique is shall I say – try to make it appear inconsequential. The Sinkie electorate needs to learn to see beyond their noses. Rule of law and right to a fair trial affects everyone. If others can be bullied by the almighty State, all other Sinkies are not safe. That's how the Nazis managed to bullied some then later all Germans is a case in point, hence the afore video #9.
