what cause the great fire of kampong bt ho swee?

[griffin]

my mother lived there
before the fire
she said helicopter came
then shortly
there was a big fire
many homeless people know that the govt did it

If there is a link between the helicopter and the fire, then the helicopter could have dispersed on the roofs of kampong houses, easily combustible chemicals or elements that ignite when they come into contact with air. One such item is white phosphorous which ignites spontaneously in air. However, this is highly unlikely as only the British had the authority to operate military planes and helicopters.

sg was still under the british rule when the fire broke out

lky only came in in 1964 i think

I believe that you weren't made yet, when we were the State Of Singapore...."Elections for the new Legislative Assembly were held in May 1959. This time round, the PAP swept the election, winning forty-three of the fifty-one seats. They had accomplished this by courting the Chinese-speaking majority, particularly those in the labour unions and radical student organizations. The leader of the PAP, Lee Kuan Yew, became the first Prime Minister of Singapore"

SINgapore had full internal Self Government from 1959-1963, 1963, we joined Malaysia, 1965 we left Malaysia ( or kicked out).."In 1963, Singapore joined Malaysia, relieving it of colonial rule and becoming an autonomous state in the Malaysia. After a fallout in the relations between United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and the People's Action Party (PAP), the ruling parties of the Federation and Singapore respectively, full independence came about with Singapore's expulsion from Malaysia in 1965."

that was long before the bukit ho swee
we were all fishermen

And then someone came along and said to the fisher-folks,

"I will make you fishers of men if you follow me"



And everyone did so till the day when Kangkar Fishing Village, Ponggol Fish Market and all the fishing perahus (boats) disappeared from here.

Yes bro, you are very correct.

Only the Brits operated helicopters and other flying machines.

The Brits surely would not have carried out such a dastardly and cowardly act.

They are too kind and have even ended the death penalty decades ago.

Singapore still carry on with judicial executions.

helicopter? wow! this is the first i ve heard.

seriously, how did it happen? gahmen needs to go back history, probe and give the nation the truth.

 

[leetahbar]

Yah man.

Its a long time ago.

Stop bringing up how lky build this place from scratch. True or false, Its along time ago. Forget about it.

Stop bringing up how that fagot on a cross suffered for you. True or false, Its along time ago. Forget about it.

singapore claims to be squeaky clean. i just want the TRUTH and not his tooth.

 

[leetahbar]

I doubt that he went too deeply into who started the fires. Otherwise he would have been sued or arrested

i think he did that as a thesis to get his doctorate. fact or fiction, it isn't important. the ang mos just love reading a good story and bestow the title. anyone can do so on any subject and becum a "dr. so and so".

my missing pet snake is now a dr ng too if everything went right for him.

 

[leetahbar]

hmm, maybe they could use the same mode of operandi and start burning hawker centres. :P

 

[The_Hypocrite]

Pap has been there n done tat.

hmm, maybe they could use the same mode of operandi and start burning hawker centres. :P

 

[leetahbar]

what i think about that incident?

actually if we were to look at our cpf savings, it's about the same principle. why the gahmen keeps holding back our savings, keep gerrymeandering the rules when originally it was full withdrawal at 55yo and now 62 0r 65 and all the minimum sum one should ve in the account and so on....

isn't there a dead rat somewhere in the cpf vault when the gahmen keeps doing that?

i suspect our savings are already all burnt like the bt ho swee fire.

 

[Poomer]

hmm, maybe they could use the same mode of operandi and start burning hawker centres. :P

Or they could start chopping off the hands of people who don't clear their plates.

Ahh!, this is where, "Half Bola V" is good at, you will be asked, which finger to chop not hands, the thumb, the 'pinky' or the 'finger' between your legs!

 

[leetahbar]

if some brave dr-to-be dare to rewrite bt ho swee big fire, would his thesis get to see the light? or maybe i should rephrase: would he get to see the light??
