Obviously, PAP spies are watching....

Remember, you are speaking on behalf of the people. In fact, I suspect what you have said resonates with the majority of the Singaporeans, esp the younger ones. So, nevermind if you felt terrible that you have made MM Lee unhappy. He is just one tired old man in Singapore. What's more important is to make Singaporeans happy!

It's been a long time since someone speak out the truth in parliament challenging the establishment. Please do not feel "threatened" by the establishment. As long as your conscience is clear and you are willing to speak the truth, the truth shall set you free.

<DT id=c3300759503197729644 class="comment-author blogger-comment-icon">Elson said... <DD class=comment-body>I would agree with 85% of the views by Mr Viswa. His debate was straight, direct and truly the voices of the common people. I like to highlight on the note of his debate about the importance of re-emphasizing National Education to our younger generations in Singapore.

Our Government must be accountable for all its actions and the Public Service must exercise restraints from all feedbacks provided, be it pleasant, rude, insulting, or unpleasant.

Otherwise, deem by prosecution of any insult through feedbacks, the Government is echoeing for unpredictable, anger storms from the Public.
<DT id=c275313597650685660 class="comment-author anon-comment-icon">wayang said... <DD class=comment-body>Agreed with blog's owner view. This speech is moving and it resonates with me - a 3rd generation citizen - where the PM's rally speech failed.

NMP Viswa has the balls to bring out the real issues that are of concern to our nation. Rally speech was a lot of feel-good ancedotes that serves no purpose.
<DT id=c4163804377701045301 class="comment-author anon-comment-icon">Zack said... <DD class=comment-body>If Viswa were to be one of the opposition candidate, I'm going to vote for him. Anyway, his unedited original speech is worth the read over and over again. Good work, Viswa.

The rulers did not do what Viswa suggested yesterday. Do you think the rulers will do tomorrow? Just a fat hope.

And the fact that the ST published at least half a dozen ass kissing expressions of support for MM Lee makes me want to puke. But, I think this may have been a big event? Or no?

Suggestion to review major policies based on the pledge (which is like a company's mission statement) is a real killer...

Had been wanting to read in full after reading the sudden hoo ha splashed on front page of ST. Wondering what did Viswa write that MM wanted to 'bring the House back to earth'! Well, this V speech was really good. It had nothing got to do with "race". PM Lee stirred up the issue on religion again on the ND speech which was untimely I thought. It was nothing to do with 'religion' but "Morality" issue - which speaks regardless of race, language or religion.

<DT id=c9111569463957162813 class="comment-author anon-comment-icon">Anonymous said... <DD class=comment-body>Very good write up.

Is the voice of the commoners.

Does the progress of Singapore really benefits the citizen?

Do we really want the kind of progress we have now at the expense of us?

The rebutt from MM Lee just puzzle me.

Keep up the good work, Viswa Sadisvan.

I am glad there are Singaporean like you who spoke for us.

This is a timely speech encapsulating what is in the hearts of many young Singaporeans like me!
After reading Viswa's maiden speech in its entirety, I fail to see where and why it evokes such a vitriolic response from the PAP. And I'm simply amazed at MM's comments.

"Hifalutin" ? Viswa's speech: both the words and the spirit behind them were anything but!

Keep up the good work Viswa! I believe that the intelligent, level-headed people who accepted you and made you a NMP have the political and intellectual maturity to accept the truth in your words and value you for their sincerity and honesty. Auspicium Melioris Aevi!

It is a "wake up" call to the government and PAP. You definitely represented us to speak up against the suppression we have endured for many years. Well done Viswa! We wish you all the best and hope you can do more for us. The Pledge is meaningless now because it lacks sincereity in the first instance... we have been fooled! Thank you Viswa for tabling this motion and discovering the truth.

The old man is still on physiotherapy right?

OR is it because that Viswa's points were so brutally honest that hurt to the core?
