you have a brain to think for yourself
there is no need to quote anyone
you have a prick to perform your act
there is no need to get a surrogate

[Asterix]

the fearless will speak in an ocean of fear
the brave will fight in a sea of spears
the undaunted will write despite all the threats
the patriotic will defend his country in every thread

Uncle, want my own words ah! Okay so here I give to you, my reply to your doggerel:

The Kopi is drunk on caffeine
Patriotism is not to be forced
Who made Peesai into a sea of fear
For what ends he uses those spears
FamiLEE business did he create
Before which the Kopi prostrate

 

[kopiuncle]

i admire writers and poets
they have a mind of their own
whether it is right or wrong
it does not really matter
as long as it goes well with the song

could LKY be removed as a MP under the law because he clearly can't perform his MP duties and functions effectively anymore.

LKY cannot stand? Don't pray, pray. Major gen Chan Chun Sing still depend on him to provide aircover to get into parliament without facing a single shot in GE2011.

According to the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore, Part VI, Section 45 Disqualifications for membership of Parliament

and quote
45.—(1) Subject to this Article, a person shall not be qualified to be a Member of Parliament who —
(a) is and has been found or declared to be of unsound mind;
(b) is an undischarged bankrupt;
(c) holds an office of profit;
(d) having been nominated for election to Parliament or the office of President or having acted as election agent to a person so nominated, has failed to lodge any return of election expenses required by law within the time and in the manner so required;
(e) has been convicted of an offence by a court of law in Singapore or Malaysia and sentenced to imprisonment for a term of not less than one year or to a fine of not less than $2,000 and has not received a free pardon:
Provided that where the conviction is by a court of law in Malaysia, the person shall not be so disqualified unless the offence is also one which, had it been committed in Singapore, would have been punishable by a court of law in Singapore;
(f) has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of, or exercised rights of citizenship in, a foreign country or has made a declaration of allegiance to a foreign country; or
(g) is disqualified under any law relating to offences in connection with elections to Parliament or the office of President by reason of having been convicted of such an offence or having in proceedings relating to such an election been proved guilty of an act constituting such an offence. end quote


if the old man is of sound mind, don't think he needs to relinquish his MP-ship.

(c) holds an office of profit;....

Does anyone know what an "office of profit" mean

Does anyone know what an "office of profit" mean

very good question... directorship considered an "office of profit"?

 

[WongMengMeng]

There's another provision in the Constitution:

46(2) The seat of a Member of Parliament shall become vacant —

..........

(d) if during 2 consecutive months in each of which sittings of Parliament (or any committee of Parliament to which he has been appointed) are held, he is absent from all such sittings without having obtained from the Speaker before the termination of any such sitting permission to be or to remain absent therefrom;

........

I would argue that the decision of the Speaker is subject to judicial review. Calling Ravi.

Many suspect that the Lees are one of the richest families in Spore. The fact that the estate laws were changed shows that they have plenty of $$$$$$$.... to hide.

wondering if estate duty would be re-instated after the old man's passing... remembered it was removed back in 2008? tsk...

Happy Birthday Mr Lee Kuan Yew...!!! Majulah Singapura!!!

'Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them'.

And also tried selling away our country. First to the Japanese, after that to Malaysia and now to the whole world.

Just like an Emperor... He doesn't need to stand up or walk about to get things done... His command is Gold and Feared by many! Don't forget his son is still PM Lee...

When the opposition wins a majority they will want to do an audit to see how much is left in the kitty. Suspect that the money trail will lead to the Lee's door step

They might be too busy untangling the mess left behind for a term or two

You thing that 'wrapper head' woman dare to make that decision? the gourd is now sitting down...it is still a 'gourd'!!

You should hold the applause because my next post will be singing high praises of the PAP and worshipping the ground that LKY walks upon.

merely worshiping the ground is nothing compare to
what kopiuncle does. he licks the very ground his master tread upon.

so you don't get the applause you are asking.

the only ones making praises are all the sycophants who benefited from
the system. they lick the ground and suck his dick. :(:(:(:(
