Serious Good Minister Shan Is Sad This Weekend! Guess Why And How Should We Cheer Him Up?

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE: Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam has hit out at the move by a group of activists - led by political dissident Tan Wah Piow and historian Thum Ping Tjin - to engage Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.

The duo - along with freelance journalist Kirsten Han, civil rights activist Jolovan Wham and graphic novelist Sonny Liew - met Dr Mahathir last Thursday (Aug 30), where they invited him to speak at a democracy conference next year.

On the sidelines of a grassroots event on Sunday (Sep 2), Mr Shanmugam said: “I think the whole conduct is a little sad, a bit regretful. We can have political differences within Singapore - it is the people’s right.

“We should never go out and invite someone foreign, a foreign politician to intervene in our domestic politics. I think that is an absolute no-no.”


Mr Shanmugam said: "I think it’s quite clear what that means."

In March, Dr Thum and Mr Shanmugam had crossed swords for six hours at a public hearing held by the Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods over the academic’s alternative interpretation of historical events such as Operation Coldstore.

Last Thursday's meeting was organised with the help of Malaysian political activist, Hishammuddin Rais, who was present and is also part of Tan’s organisation - Forces for the Renewal of Southeast Asia.

Mr Shanmugam's comments came a day after Marine Parade GRC MP Seah Kian Peng hit out at Dr Thum over his Facebook posts that, in Mr Seah's words, show that the historian "does not wish Singapore well".

Mr Seah questioned Dr Thum's invitation to the Malaysian prime minister to "bring democracy to Singapore".

"I wonder what deep historical insight prompted him to make this plea, to Dr M, whose views on the Water Agreement with Singapore, and Singapore knowing its place in relation to Malaysia are well known," he wrote.

OK, so Thum is going to get charged and locked up. But he will escape and be the next political exile. So yes, that is the only sad thing. For sinkieland.

Then why don't pap summon the Malaysian ambassador to lodge a diplomatic protest in the strongest term. Don't target the easy meat.

In any case, it a non issue since lhl also visited USA to meet congressmen from republican and democrat. When Tony Blair was the opposition leader, he also met gct . I don't see anyone kick up a big fuss.

They are trying to distract the voting public from the economy, rising costs of living, recent stupid statements by MINISTERS, and the uprising of the OPPOSITION in MALAYSIA.

Blair met LKY for advice. It is stated in both men's memoirs.

If I recall correctly, our ministers did meet with PKR when it was still in opposition.

Mahattir is simply returning the favour. Shit stirring at it's finest.

Waiting for Shan's riposte. Go shanny boy! Bitch smack mahathir, there are no consequences for smacking around an old fart like him.

I am beginning to like Tun. Merdeka!
