Best for the Archbishop to stay clear of such matters. Given the Marxist conspiracy case in the mid-80s, MM will be ultra-sensitive on speeches made by Catholic Church leaders. Ditto PM and the security apparatus.
Please lah, even Dhanabalan knew there was no Marxist conspiracy. That was 30 years ago, Old Goat paranoid like fuck back than. Today with the internet and websites like this, the topics discussed at the meetings of the so-called marxist conspirators are mild. Even Soh is running around telling everyone they were coerced into confession. Today, Old Goat will not dare to pull the same shit on the catholic church. U had a weak minded gregory Yong at that time, Chia is made of sterner stuff. Now u go to St. Vincent De Paul, u see Lim Boon Heng there every sunday. Old Goat does not have the energy to fuck with the church anymore, and Gay Loong could not be bothered, unless he want a fight among his catholic ministers and MPs. On the contrary, I think this is the exact time the church should push the limits of its power. Its no secret that the govt. policy has hurt many ordinary people. The church being at the font line of adminstering spiritual and material aid to these disadvantaged people can see it. Its nothing wrong at all to speak up for them. Who else will? Their PAP MPs?
