The US Courts have just affirmed the constitutional right to freedom of speech including but not limited to the right to insult or disparage or whatever. Before I post the relevant article, let's do some revision of the faulty logic and crap law of Fatso Woon, currently employed by some taxpayer...

http://www.straitstimes.com/news/opinion/more-opinion-stories/story/keeping-the-singapore-dream-alive-20150410 I chanced upon this article in Friday's issue of the Straits Times, written by one Ho Kwon Ping, chairman of Banyan Tree and a former journalist. It is, in my opinion, a sub-standard...

This is from the thread I originally started in the Political folder within hours of the news report that a law professor has been fixed, ahem I mean charged, in “sex for grades”. I wrote that post, off the cuff, basically not having heard of this Tey guy before, and everything was researched...

Why is S42 of the Internal Security Act (“ISA”) still on the statute books? The section will appear in full in the next post. This section says that no person shall be admitted to NUS, Singapore Poly, Ngee Ann Poly or other gazetted institutions of higher learning unless a certificate of...

That is in First World England and Wales. For peasants of Third World Sinkieland, they will have to continue to live under the yoke of an oppressive LEEgime, whose Attorney General has recently issued proceedings for contempt against some bloggers for “scandalising” the Sinkie Courts. Thank you...

Mr. Shanmugam claims that all who asked others to take the rap for speeding offences are given fines as standard punishment for such a minor transgression as perverting the course of justice. For that, he used a few cases as examples without providing comprehensive statistics such as “in year...

Referendum! There have been calls on the Internet for a referendum for citizens to either endorse or reject the population target of 6.9 million stated in the Government’s White Paper. If the Government refuses to hold a referendum, can ordinary citizens challenge it? YES. The Constitution...

This is a video of John Bercow’s re-election as Speaker on 18th May 2010. Something for Madam Halimah Yacob to chew upon – the importance of impartiality and her role as “champion of the backbenchers”. I don’t believe any of the Speakers during the Deaf-Mute PAP-dominated Parliaments have...

“Local issues” vs “National issues”, sounds familiar. PAP trying to hoodwink and deceive peasants again about the true role of an MP in a Westminster style democracy. If you believe Pinocchio Teo in the second video, you will walk away with the mistaken belief that an MP’s job is to help...

Post 1 – History of the Speaker of the House of Commons The earliest holders of the office were often agents of the monarch. Until the 17th century, members of the House of Commons often continue to view their Speaker (correctly) as an agent of the Crown. And now the Sinkie Crown is sending...

Can this strike by SMRT bus drivers imported from the PRC be a harbinger of greater things to come? May it mark the beginning of a movement similar to Solidarity in Poland? For the unfamiliar, here is some background info on Solidarity from Wikipedia: "In the 1980s, Solidarity was a broad...

Watch this video of Prime Minister’s Question Time in London on 23rd May 2012. How about this for a First World Parliament? Background: Starting at midday, the Prime Minister answers questions from MPs in the Commons for half an hour EVERY Wednesday. In most cases, the session starts with a...

“Justice Pillai directed both parties to submit their findings on whether there are exceptions to the general rule that the losing party pays the winning party in such cases. The justice further instructed both counsels to research Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom judicial precedents to...

Singaporeans have exchanged colonialism by the British for colonialism by the PAP elites. Below is the text of a Parliamentary speech made by Lim Chin Siong in 1955 against enactment of the Preservation of Public Security Bill (renamed as the ISA). A "blast from the past". Singaporeans...

A Tale of Two Dioceses & Two Peoples Two Former British Colonies with Significant Catholic Congregations Singapore and Hong Kong are similar in many ways. Both are former British colonies and inherited many features of the Westminster form of governance. According to Wikipedia, Roman...

Interesting speech by Tan Wah Piow on Youtube. "....................... @ 4.46 To do nothing is not an option as we will be subjecting the generations of tomorrow to the draconian laws of today. The only solution lies in our building of the broadest possible coalition, cutting across party...

Tey Sex Scandal: Let's Get Personal I am heartened by the response to my previous thread, which shows that contrary to the PAP’s perception, Singaporeans are not daft. However, it does seem that the mainstream media is hell bent on conducting a smear campaign against the principals in this case...

Had insomnia last night, so I woke up earlier than usual and checked out the TRE website. The article about the Media Literary Council ("MLC") aka Internet Censorship Board makes my blood boil. The article shown an email sent by Prof Tan Cheng Han, chairman of MLC to Richard Wan. Prof Tan...

The headline reads “NUS law professor faces corruption charges”. Sounds reassuring right? Especially in the light of recent judicial outcomes such as a mere $1,000 fine for a prominent plastic surgeon who had asked an old and vulnerable employee to take the rap for not one but two speeding...
