I just wondered why LHY keep whining and whining about his son situation and AG.
The only right thing to do is to step out and get himself elected, save his sons from his evil clutches of LHL.
The only thing i can see is that LHY is a ball less ... Any loving father would stand out and keep his sons and daughters safe from any danger. But i think being Ball less is one of the trait of LKY family.
And LHL is another ball Less and he is a Bastard gia.... How could he as an Uncle Sue his own nephew and uses the whole Parliament and state resources to pressure his sibling into submission. Now he is using State resources to sue his own Nephew ?
Come on. LHL is behaving like some thugs.

1 pail of water can actually put out this fire.... but you guys out there threw oil instead...
stirred arh.. stirred arh..
When a person tries to provide data information to account and rationalise, others should look at the hidden agenda behind the act. The fire was started by the famiLEE member holding the torch? No amount of water in Singapore can extinguish the burning rage. The torch bearer intentionalLEE chose to add more fuel and ralLEEd his accompLEEces to fan the flames?
Yes, this raging fire is a concern to Singaporeans. DirectLEE or indirectLEE, it concerns the future of Singapore. However, Singaporeans can only be mere concerned bystanders and interested spectators at this juncture. SeriousLEE, is this a private famiLEE matter or a matter that concerns and involves all Singaporeans - our country's Torch and Torch bearer, present and future?

SINGAPORE: The Court of Appeal on Monday (Sep 3) gave the green light to Mr Li Shengwu to appeal against a previous decision that allowed the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) to serve papers on him outside Singapore, relating to a contempt of court case.
The nephew of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is being sued by the AGC for allegedly saying in a Facebook post last July that Singapore has a "pliant court system", and that the Singapore Government was "very litigious".

The High Court had in March dismissed Mr Li’s application to set aside the court order allowing the AGC to go ahead to serve the documents.
Mr Li, who lives in the United States, applied to appeal the High Court's decision and it was granted on Monday by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, along with Judges of Appeal Judith Prakash and Steven Chong.
The appeal will be heard at a date to be decided, but Chief Justice Menon said it would be expedited.
He added that questions which should be addressed during the appeal include whether the court has the right to exercise jurisdiction over someone who commits contempt of court, but who is overseas when court proceedings start, and if it does, what statutes this is based on.

"If the defendant is in Singapore, I don't think there is an issue because of inherent jurisdiction," said the Chief Justice. "But the problem comes when the defendant is not within Singapore."
Mr Li's defence lawyer, Abraham Vergis from Providence Law Asia, took issue with the prosecutor's use of a particular section of the Supreme Court of Judicature Act, saying that jurisdiction for contempt of court "was never founded" on that section.
Chief Justice Menon said Mr Vergis raised "a legitimate question that needs to be considered".
"Is there jurisdiction over a (person who commits contempt of court but is overseas)? If there is, what is the jurisdiction," he said.
Speaking for the three judges in the Court of Appeal, the Chief Justice said: "All three of us think this should be expedited. It is important both for clarifications of law and for the defendant."
Mr Li, 33, previously said he does not intend to return to Singapore.
He shared a post on Facebook over the weekend, indicating that he has started a new job at Harvard University as Assistant Professor of Economics.
LEE HSIEN YANG QUESTIONS AGC’S ACTIONS AGAINST HIS SON
The Facebook comments made by Mr Li that were allegedly in contempt of court were posted on the back of a public spat between his father Lee Hsien Yang, his aunt Lee Wei Ling and PM Lee.
The dispute revolved around the future of the family home at 38 Oxley Road, which belonged to the siblings’ late father, Singapore’s founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.
Hours before the Court of Appeal’s decision on Monday, Mr Lee Hsien Yang questioned the AGC’s actions against his son.
“Much stronger criticism of Singapore courts has recently been published in some international media and widely shared public posts.
“AGC appears not to have commenced committal proceedings against the media and others, whilst nonetheless continuing this action against Shengwu for his private communications,” said Mr Lee in a Facebook post.

Father taught the son to fight with knuckleduster. Late father was Chief Gangster of Singapore then. He used the teachings and tried out the 'FIT and FIX' on his own FamiLEE.

Singapore belongs to Singaporeans.
Singapore does not belong to an individual, a family or a political party.
FamiLEEs and LEEders come and go.
Singapore leaders are elected by Singaporeans to help govern the country, on behalf of the PEOPLE, over a fixed term.
The People's Action Party [PAP] does not represent Singaporeans.
The People in PAP is NOT synonymous or representation of the citizens, as in the PEOPLE of Singapore.
[A crafty play on words by the founders of the PAP]

It ends when the PEOPLE of Singapore collectively decide to end it. The problem is WHEN and we are back with the same dilemma.

Your observations are true of present day Singapore. Sad but true.
It's not the DONE FOR but the DONE TO.
DONE FOR is when THEY want to convince.
DONE TO is what many Singaporeans are asking.
What have THEY DONE TO Singapore and Singaporeans?

When the people ask "What have THEY DONE FOR the country and people?"
... there is a need to wait for the LEEder to respond. Therefore, the famiLEE would come and cry father-cry mother. Following, it would be the followers and supporters with their 'I know everything' actions and reactions. Resultant effect is opinions sway. The YOU could need to be on the defensive side.
When the question asked is "What have THEY DONE TO the country and people?"
... the people would start looking for answers, usually from their own experiences before spreading out to other people. There is no need to wait for anyone to respond. The YOU and the We would be on the offensive...and the resulting effect could be THEY ARE DONE FOR!
