S'pore former President S R Nathan conferred Order of Temasek, First Class.

[steffychun]

Medals from Singapore are nothing. Look at Obama, start drone wars and get Nobel Peace Prize. No Sinkie has ever gotten a Nobel Prize.

When I see the word "Order", I thought it's ordering one egg, one kosong from this prataman.

Japanese should start honoring those collaborators who contributed to the war campaign of the imperial army on every 15th Aug. I would recommend Prataman and LKY for the award.

Democracy doesn't mean anything. Let don't forget Hitler was also democratically elected.

it is 70 years ago already. you still want to expose him, trial against him on war crimes and sentence him to death meh ?

The Chinks in China will not allow this kind of thing to happen. Don't believe ask HK14K. Sinkieland is sinking deeper. :oIo:

well. the China Chinks still greatly honor Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, who colluded with the Japanese during the war years. you might like to Baidu the Pan Hannian story to find out what happened back then.

Prata must be thinking the same as LKY back then. in the own words of LKY from his book on why he worked for the Japanese invaders : it was the best option at that time. LKY is really a born opportunist who has no principles at all. :(

I will try googling instead of Baiduing. :p

"From 1937 to 1945, the enmity between the KMT and the Communists was put to one side as both concentrated their resources on the Japanese who had launched a full-scale invasion of China in 1937. It was during this time that Mao developed his knowledge about guerrilla warfare that he was to use with great effect in the civil war against the KMT once the war with Japan had ended in 1945."

Maybe HK14K can advise us better on the history of China.

My heart cries for President Ong Teng Cheong.. the one true Singapore President, who's swept aside for doing the right things....

Ong was once PAP, saw the evil, just asked one simple question denied any honour by Lee.

My heart cries for President Ong Teng Cheong.. the one true Singapore President, who's swept aside for doing the right things....

OTC was an integral part of the PAP leadership during the 1980s. why the Opposition people now use him as a symbol for those resisting the PAP government ? OTC was Chinese educated, right ? when he was DPM, did he say a thing against the PAP suppression of Chinese culture and dialects ? OTC was no hero to me.

 

[kopiuncle]

old emotional issues
should be all forgotten
the truth has been twisted again and again
let us just move on
work for a better tomorrow
