The insignificant nobody me had wanted to remain silent, as the delinquent Michael Fay's incident is irrelevant to this thread, & could not do so as the thread is being hijacked over disputes on foreigners being treated far more equal than citizens.
Such is not true. I would like to share an experience with the audience here. I had the privilege of meeting USA normal & usual training exchanges with their highly esteemed & respected dedicated Special Forces here in Spore when the controversy occurred. During recreation, I inoffensively enquired if theyre were here to rescue their fellow American citizen from being caned by our judiciary to uphold the Rule of Law in Singapore.
They cried with tears & laughter, & exclaimed that if the Spore govt had none to do the job, they would OFFER their services to cane that over motherly protected imbecile privileged American kid themselves if requested. They explained that the Rule of Law is important in their country, & furthermore, being highly trained to survive in special operations that they will sacrifice their lives for their country, morons like privileged Michael Fay should be taught to respect lawful institutions, correct their flaws & be contributors to their nation as their brave forefathers had done to build up USA.
Ultimately, many would have their own personal views & perceptions, ill-conceived or not, but each do have a right to their own opinions, beliefs or disbeliefs. However,FACTS & REALITIES remain.
In matters of opinions, there will always be some whom are only a minority, but will be loud vocal, but equally so, there will be many whom are silent but WILL support the Rule of Law anytime, as their own lives & livelihoods are dependent on such, more so Americans, its democracy & its institutions that lasted for centuries, far more than any failed ideologies of our modern age.
