http://./2008/12/06/mr-tan-kin-lians-speech-at-hong-lim-park-6-december-2008/
Excerpts:
“I was quite surprised, quite shocked at the attitude of the government, the senior ministers, the ministers who said ‘ you should take your responsibility, you never open your eyes’, that made me even more angry, so I say ‘no we must continue to fight until there is justice’ - this is called justice.”
“I say it is important to have social justice. The second thing that is very important is to have MPs that represent you. When you have problems, you must see the MP and you must feel that your MP understand your problem, help as best as they can. Some people see their MP and they come back and tell me ’Mr Tan, my MP is not interested to help’, then what’s the point of letting this person be your MP. Take your MP as someone who is willing to act for you.”
