Correction. Footage taken, was telecast on CNA, according to information I have received.
Paranoia and hatred clouds judgement
It is a fact that CNA telecast JBJ's funeral. It may not be in the manner which moniker makapaaa would have liked, but it was mentioned and presented in good light. I hope you are not going to deny fact, because of your blind hatred for the government of Singapore.

SINGAPORE: JB Jeyaretnam was laid to rest on Saturday. The 82-year-old died of heart failure on Tuesday.
Over 1,000 people turned up at the St Andrew's Cathedral, including opposition Members of Parliament Low Thia Khiang and Chiam See Tong.
In their eulogies, both of Mr Jeyaretnam's sons, Kenneth and Philip, spoke about their father's love for them and their children, as well as his belief that each one can and must do something to make this world a better place.

You are blinded, moniker makapaaa, as I have said. If the government of Singapore were malevolent, it would not even telecast the funeral at all. Just because CNA, within broadcast time constraints, could not feature the details you want, does not mean that parsimony was intentional. As important a place JBJ has in the history of Singapore, an entire news broadcast time-slot dedicated to JBJ is totally irrational and would actually raise questions on the competency of the government of Singapore and raise questions on whether it is a display of apologetics.

You forgot to highlight about Tan Wah Piow besides Tang Liang Hong.
Please also highlight the fact that I found Prata-Man's wreath placed nearest to the Toilet where I made NeWater. :p

Sir, the reason why the Presstapo gave airtime / column space to JBJ's passing has nothing to do with fair mention - it is about shaping the news to present a false picture of events. It counts on the following:
It is thus not 'blind hatred' that causes us to remonstrate against the Presstapo and the PAPzis - it is the frustration of being constantly fed lies and half truths and being expected to accept them as gospel.
- there are more people who do not know JBJ than do - to these people, the Presstapo hopes to project the idea that they are generous to even give time / space to a 'small time oppositionist'
- there are waverers who are pro-PAPzi but still interested in fair play - to them a total news blackout could offend that sense of fair play so much that it pushed them to the other side
- there are those who are ready to point out such great sins of omission.
a life story episode of devan nair was telecasted when the man kicked the bucket. likewise for many others who were no longer holding office. there were also many other short documentaries that depicted the lives of unique individuals who did extra-ordinary things for society.You are blinded, moniker makapaaa, as I have said.
