Worst punishment for a person is to be put in isolation ward: MM Lee
By S Ramesh | Posted: 12 September 2010 1631 hrs

SINGAPORE: For someone who continues to advocate the importance of working for as long as a person can, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said the worst punishment one can give a person is the isolation ward. The person, he said, would get hallucinations.

Sharing anecdotes about his personal life and religious beliefs in an interview with the New York Times and the International Herald Tribune, Mr Lee said that without interaction with people, a person is isolated.

Mr Lee keeps his mind alive with constant stimulus as he keeps himself up to date. For example, he said, he goes to China once a year at least to meet Chinese leaders.

And he will be off to Moscow, Kiev and Paris on 15 September. Mr Lee said: "(In) Paris, I am on the TOTAL Advisory Board together with Joe Nye and a few others. They want a presentation on China's strengths and weaknesses.

"It's not just my impressionistic view of China but one that has to be backed by facts and figures. So my team works out the facts and figures, and I check to see if they tally with my impressions. But it's a constant stimulus to keep alive and up-to-date. If I stop it, it's downhill."

The Minister Mentor also stresses the need to keep fit and exercise. For himself, he cycles and swims every day.

Right. Must be some great insight for him. Has he ever put himself in the shoes of Chia Thye Poh, Said Zahari, Lim Hock Siew, Lim Chin Siong before he opens his big fat mouth.

Does anybody really care if he goes downhill?

Time for him to meet his Creator.

Of course, he can swim and cycle everyday. Anybody can do it if they are assured $3million a year for talking cock.

When old CB LKY got locked up like Chen Shui Bian he would 100% be in isolation ward.

No one would want to be locked up together with him.


Chen Shui Bian is also being locked up alone already more than a year.

During his incarceration, he spent substantial time in solitary confinement at the Whitley Road Detention Centre.<sup id="cite_ref-Amnesty_3-2" class="reference">[4]</sup> In late 1978, Amnesty International confirmed that he was detained at the Moon Crescent Detention Centre located within the grounds of Changi Prison.<sup id="cite_ref-Amnesty_3-3" class="reference">[4]</sup>

Life in Singapore's political prisons

Officially opened on 20 Mar 2002, the ISD Heritage Centre, which took three years to build, showcases the operational history of the Internal Security Department (ISD). The Centre was built as a training facility for ISD officers as well as others in the law enforcement and security community in the public service.




Solitary confinement, beatings, electric shocks and threats to families - we're not talking about prisons in North Korea, or Abu Ghraib, but in Singapore's Whitley Road Detention Centre (same location as picture above) where such methods to extract confessions and recantations were allegedly used against political detainees during the 1970s, as documented by Amnesty International in a report published in 1980.

(lll) Methods of arrest, detention and interrogation

Through its Internal Security Act, the Government of the Republic of Singapore is endowed with extraordinary powers of arbitrary arrest and detention. These powers have been used extensively to detain students, workers, doctors, trade unionists, lawyers and journalists.

Arrest take place in nearly all cases late at night or early in the morning. The detained person is taken in a Black Maria to a Special Branch Holding Centre where he is kept in solitary confinement for 30 days' interrogation. The van might spend several hours circling the city before entering the interrogation centre through an underground entrance. The main Special Branch Interrogation Centre in Singapore is the Whitley Road Holding Centre. There are however other undisclosed Special Branch Centres. In most cases the interrogated person does not know where he is being held. Throughout the 30 days' interrogation the prisoner is not allowed access to a lawyer and in most cases is forbidden visits from his family contrary to the provisions of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners. Indeed, frequently the family is not even informed of the arrest. The only human contact the detainee enjoys is with his interrogators. It is a matter of routine that all prisoners undergoing interrogation are denied such elementary necessities as spectacles, watch, soap, comb and towel.

He jailed both Dr Poh Soo Kai and Said Zahari for almost 20 years each. Maybe the old emperor should be in the lock-up to have a taste of his own medicine!

the chao cheebye got no conscience one

Now the lao chee bye bastard is having his retribution. He has got to talk to his
brain-dead wife every night, father of the world's ugliest daughter and also the
grandfather of an Albino boy!

Can't wait for the lid to shut down on his fucking face!

 

[COW flu]

How about when he put us SARS quarantine? Not isolation ward meh?

干你老母臭鸡败！

 

[uncleyap]

Whenever I go to LEEgime's jail I love to be in isolation ward.

Firstly it is more spacious, Secondly it is more quiet, quietness means nice.

No one to border me, I don't have to talk to any one, nor hear from any one.

Nice, and nothing to be sarcastic at all.

I urge LKy old dog thief to try it out once, then find out for himself before he decide. It is premature for him to decide right now.

I sleep more than 20 hrs per day when I am in jail, or in meditation. Isolation is not an issue.

Chen Shui Bian is also being locked up alone already more than a year.

According to Chiu Yi, the size of Ah Bian's cell is equivalent to a cell normally for 3 people.

Uncle,
Let's say one day, you are locked in a cell or a room with oldman, what would you say to him?
1. Advise him on the error of his ways.
2. Say nothing and ignore him totally.
3. Berate and scold him until you are let out.
4. Praise him for outwitting, outplaying and outlasting all his opponents like the ultimate survivor.
5. Ask him why his daughter is writing an article every week.
6. Others, please specify.

87 years old dog, can not learn new tricks. How is there any point to waste time with him? How long more can he live?

I need hear plugs!

He is going to advise the whole world as usual. He will start to teach me how to be an opposition fighter :oIo:
