Re: Dead NS boy family ask for forensic report, MINDEF tell them to fuck off, cover u
You are right in that sinkies do not know their rights. they were not taught that in school, the PAP deliberately does not want to tell them, etc. But you have to remember that knowing what your right is and having the will to demand and enforce it is 2 different things. Sinkies might be fully informed about their rights as a citizen, but what will they do with it if the govt violates their right? the balless and kiasu sinkies are not going to demonstrate and rally in the street. Its about the mindset. There are countries where the citizens have no rights, but yet, they have the balls to take to the streets and demand it. That's what happened in those ex Warsaw Pact countries that eventually let to the fall of the iron curtain. In other words, as a citizen, you can be legislated all the rights in the world. But it means nothing if you will not stand up and demand them if the govt takes them away from you.
During my time in National Slavery, a case like this would have been covered up & not even leaked out to the public, the boy would just get what the SAF will give out, most likely 'coffin expenses' & that's all. Nowadays people are much aware of what they can do, for they have the education & the resources & money to question!....but still we are still short of knowing what are our RIGHTS as a CITIZEN? For example, the recent schoolboy molest case....they go round in circles finding excuses to deflect the blame as usual.....but nobody , even the parents question the RIGHTS OF THE BOY....the schools & society must be educated on their RIGHTS.
What is the bloody use of all of us, including the kids, everyday of their lives, mouthing the PLEDGE..when they do not even know the RIGHTS OF A CITIZEN...
where is the "justice & equality"....
