'Marxist plot' revisited

This shit actually happened in Singapore ! Unbelievable !


The Arrests
Early in the morning of the 21th of May 1987, sixteen persons were arrested by the political police and immediaely imprisoned in the Whiteley Road Centre of detention. In the following hours, a group of agents of the same police entered the premises of the Geylang Catholic Centre for foreign workers inspecting and filming the disposition of the place. That day, the newspapers reported the news “unanimously”, but briefly and without any details. They simply mentioned the discovery of a Communist plot and the solitary confinement of the persons arrested in consequence of an Internal Security Act. (1)

As soon as the news of these arrests and above all the identity of the persons detained was made known, it became apparent that this government offensive had a very precise purpose. Among the 16 arrested, 10 belonged directly to militant Catholic movements for social justice and human rights. The others, as we shall see later, worked in a very closely related orientation. To the leaders of the four Catholic movements to which belonged or were linked the arrested militants, it was the confirmation of their fears and the putting into effect a threat which they had already perceived for a long time.

you will notice that after this incident , certain church orgainsation that strongly supported the PAP are given the green light to expand aggresively into all parts of Singapore especially the restive youths of the universities. Historians of Sg call this phase the NTUCFICATION of religious thoughts. THis is made easier as many U students are already soften up during 2 years of zombififation in NS training.

It was a plot labelled by LKY as Marxist Plot. The anti-PAP sentiment was high and several lecturers were also detained in the process. They were detained because of their bold anti-PAP expression - these include plays that are satirical to the government's unfair policies. However, these actions, I believe, were the prelude to finish off Francis Seow.

It was a trap meant for Francis Seow to trip upon which he did. At that time, WP under JBJ was at its peak and that political coward, LKY, has to quash WP and JBJ before they could become a formidable force to be reckon with.

Why LKY is a political coward ? This is what Said Zahari had to say:

"This is where Lee Kuan Yew has always been collaborating with the British to make sure that his political power can be retained. Without the British support Lee Kuan Yew has no chance of doing that. But, Lee Kuan Yew being Lee Kuan Yew, he always want to show that he is the great leader, he wants to show his toughness. But now we all know, after reading the declassified documents from the record office in London, open to the public. I have read bundles of them in the recent years, we know, that Lee Kuan Yew, even the British said Lee Kuan Yew is actually a coward. I have been saying that Lee Kuan Yew is a coward, a political coward."
