You mean the Christian protest had links to Spectrum

If I recall correctly, most if not all of them were detained under ISA for various period under "Marxist conspiracy." Francis Seow acted as their lawyer and ended up detained too, for about 2 to 3 months.

I'm not sure. I mused at the circus roundabout as a humble constable only. What I've seen, I saw. What I wasn't told, I didn't know.

Bro, they were remanded at various police stations in view of the numbers after being charged in court. I do remember heavy security in court as they brought in an out as they kept shouting. Photos of they going in and out by van were shown in the press. Was not handled by ISD but as criminal offences. It was a weird cult as they had no interest in politics just kept cursing everyone with their favourite slogan - "death to your first born"

By the way, Francis Seow was not detained for the Marxist Conspiraqcy thingy but for the Hendrikson affair. Hendrikson was deported one day after Francis was detained. They word is that ISD found out about his links to Hendrikson and the offer to fund elections for selected lawyers and grant of asylum when they bugged Francis as he represented some of the marxist detainess.

the order of the kings and ministers do change as one person from king today become peasant tmorrow.

lost of power is not change if position.

During that era, I can only think of one such instance. Which one do you know? Or you have more examples to share?

Qin Shihuang started legalism, he was against confucianism from the beginning.

this is evidence by the burning of the books.

Legalism was not started by Qin Shihuang. It was started by Shangyang under Qin Xiao Wang.

 

[chinkangkor]

I see your point. Of course he was against Confucianism from the beginning, but that's confined to his Qin state. Conquering all other states enabled him to implement anti-Confucianism measures all across China.

Confucianism was not accepted by all the warring states, not even during the early years of the Han dynasty.

It was only during the 5th Emperor of the Han dynasty - Han Wu Di - that Confucianism was accepted into the mainstream.

And Francis did stand for election and did get his asylum after all.

What is wrong in standing for elections with some fellow lawyers? The question that remains unanswered is why is the ISD at the beck and call of a tyrant to further his family greed for power and wealth?
