Remember to view it, it could have been in your computer ). Nevertheless, the police under Lee's order could just investigate WP's members and put them under treason, though it is a worst case but it could be viable (we still have ISA , don't we ?) .

I rest my case.

They are as responsible as the MIW/Govt when they allowed themselves to be co-opted into a cozy relationships with them so they can co-exist. Right up till pre-election in May, all the MSM did were merely giving their blessing to the great success of Singapore, its policies and its transport system blah blah blah. Not a day goes by they are not reporting facts with full facts, or covering data with half truths. Where their duty to the people whose alternative voices are eliminated or downplayed? <br />Very often, we are left divining sheep entrails in most cases. <br /><br />The 1998 financial crisis in SEA among the banks were largely due to the lack of transparency and responsible reporting by reporters. Everyone was caught up with Indonesia miracle, and "shocked" its currency plunged 80% of its value, not to mention Thailand and rest of countries. In short, the <br />the media has abandoned [their] duty as watchdog of society. <br /><br />If they will all stand together and un-occupy SPH, what's the worst that could happen? We are out of press for a few days..so what? You think there's a loss here? They will fire all journalists overnight? Then what? <br />Let them write their own press release then. If our journalist won't stand up for its citizens with truthful reporting, why do you expect the citizens to side them? They are every bit as guilty until proven innocent, as our SG law likes to begin with.PCKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-85583807960148107902011-10-25T13:25:20.239+08:002011-10-25T13:25:20.239+08:00I don't think LKY can debate with anybody.

He didnt ...So why didnt Pritam cite these quotes? <br /><br />He didnt because Pritam needs learn a thing or two about jousting in Parliament with the ruling party. Dont expect any free rides or easy treatment, Pritam. <br /><br />Aljunied was given to WP as a prize by LKY for their behavior in Parliament and their non confrontational approach to politics. This is not to take anything away from the WP's efforts which helped them win Aljunied. There is a feeling however that the ruling party was not going all out to win at Aljunied. They appeared to be holding back. George Yeo and co. were dispensable pawns in a game.Mohamed Leenoreply@blogger.com
