Dear fellow bloggers,
Mr J.B. Jeyaretnam, whom many of us have held in high regards and esteem, had left us.
The state media, which had protrayed JBJ negatively for decades will not have anything nice to write about him. In fact, we were peeved by a CNA report today attempting to contort the truth with its unfair emphasis on JBJ’s conviction in 1985 (which it politically motivated) and his bankruptcy as a result of defamation suits lodged against him by the PAP.
Even after his passing, the PAP will continue to dismiss his “confrontational style” politics as irrelevant to Singapore. JBJ has been the nemesis of the PAP for years. They will not want another JBJ to emerge to challenge them. But what Singaporeans really think is a real opposition leader like JBJ - who dares to speak up for them fearlessly and truthfully.
For the next 3 days, we will be publishing accounts of JBJ’s life including his ideas, speeches, pictures and videos to mourn his passing.
