To chow sinkies it only matters whether the person is your friend. If friend anything goes. If no friend you die of injustice your business.

If we throw rotten eggs, dead rats, shit at the casket ...would that be considered a criminal act or expression of disgust?

You have to be "MEMBER" to get close to the casket....& they catch you throwing shit , you may be sentenced to 1 year cleaning out the septic tanks at the WATER WORKS in Kranji opposite the MRT Station...

Honour rites still evolving; No formula for state funeral entitlement

Mr Leong Sze Hian (Today, May 10) and Mr Goh Choon Kang (Lianhe Zaobao, May 12) have asked why the funeral arrangements for Mr Ong Teng Cheong and Dr Wee Kim Wee, both former presidents, were not the same.

Mr Ong Teng Cheong received a state-assisted funeral, while Dr Wee Kim Wee received a state funeral. Mr Goh Choon Kang suggested that we should have definite rules on who is entitled to a state funeral.

When Singaporeans who have made major contributions to the country pass away, it is right and fitting that they be honoured and mourned by the nation. They may or may not be former Presidents. The appropriate way to do so will vary with each individual.

It is not feasible to have a set formula as to who should receive a state funeral, based simply on the person's rank or the appointment that he or she had held. It depends on the person's services to the nation, as well as other special circumstances.

Persons who have made truly exceptional contributions will receive a state funeral. The decision to hold one is made by the Prime Minister and the Cabinet.

If they decide to offer a state funeral, they will of course consult the family members and take into account their wishes.

Singapore is still a young country. Our practices and customs for public ceremonies and observances are still evolving.

As the years pass, we will gradually establish norms and traditions that will reflect the Singapore way of honouring our best sons and daughters who have passed away, that is dignified, restrained and expresses the gratitude and sense of loss of the nation.

Chen Hwai Liang

Press Secretary to Prime Minister

State funeral has the same meaning giving pink ic like toilet paper.:biggrin:

Please be reminded that PINK IC = NATIONAL SERVICE = don't forget one MIW said..." it is a privilege"...STATE FUNERAL is the ultimate privilege for very obedient dog's... not everyone gets one...:rolleyes:
