Our parents does not understand what Lee Kuan Yew said below before we were born. It is true that there is no democracy in Singapore. If you were to live in Japan, New Zealand, Australia, USA or Europe you will feel that their citizens are free to do anything as long as they do not rob, kill or murder.
It time to circulate this to all our children to let them understand that to free Singapore the only way is to vote more Oppositions in like in Japan, there is CHANGE where old ruling political party power have been balance and curb by Oppositions.
Lee Kuan Yew is not genius, he is smart to use overseas advisers while he rule Singapore. There have been lots of blunders. It is not Lee Kuan Yew who built Singapore. Without our hardworking grandpas, grandmas, parents, uncles, aunties and us, Singapore will not be what it is today.
Time to change for our children future to protect their future and old age.
If you have misfortune do you want to survive with just Sgd 90 per month or handout and without proper government true healthcare welfare like Japan where the young work to contribute along to support the old folks.
Singaporean have to stay united as common citizens and not let just 1 ruling party divide our life, friends and families and rule by cabinet ministers who are not borned in Singapore. This is not right and it will never happen in Japan. In Japan, the people rule the politicians and country but not in Singapore. It is time to take back the power from PAP.
Your power is your vote, give it wisely to the Oppositions. Please circulate to all friends and relatives for awarness. Each new election we have been divide, the electorial boundary have been moved. This never happen in Japan as people will complain it is cheating. Last I live in Tampines, I have to vote under Eunos and Pasir Ris, what is this kind of election???
My wife have vote for the same village from 18yo to now and it still remain the same boundary. My 2 children will follow their mother freedom of choice not force or cheats like the PAP is doing.
Have nice day

* "But we either believe in democracy or we not. If we do, then, we must say categorically, without qualification, that no restraint from the any democratic processes, other than by the ordinary law of the land, should be allowed... If you believe in democracy, you must believe in it unconditionally. If you believe that men should be free, then, they should have the right of free association, of free speech, of free publication. Then, no law should permit those democratic processes to be set at nought, and no excuse, whether of security, should allow a government to be deterred from doing what it knows to be right, and what it must know to be right... " - Lee Kuan Yew, Legislative Assembly Debates, April 27, 1955
* "If it is not totalitarian to arrest a man and detain him, when you cannot charge him with any offence against any written law - if that is not what we have always cried out against in Fascist states - then what is it?… If we are to survive as a free democracy, then we must be prepared, in principle, to concede to our enemies - even those who do not subscribe to our views - as much constitutional rights as you concede yourself." - Opposition leader Lee Kuan Yew, Legislative Assembly Debates, Sept 21, 1955
* "Repression, Sir is a habit that grows. I am told it is like making love-it is always easier the second time! The first time there may be pangs of conscience, a sense of guilt. But once embarked on this course with constant repetition you get more and more brazen in the attack. All you have to do is to dissolve organizations and societies and banish and detain the key political workers in these societies. Then miraculously everything is tranquil on the surface. Then an intimidated press and the government-controlled radio together can regularly sing your praises, and slowly and steadily the people are made to forget the evil things that have already been done, or if these things are referred to again they're conveniently distorted and distorted with impunity, because there will be no opposition to contradict." -Lee Kuan Yew as an opposition PAP member speaking to David Marshall, Singapore Legislative Assembly, Debates, 4 October, 1956
* "If we say that we believe in democracy, if we say that the fabric of a democratic society is one which allows for the free play of idea...then, in the name of all the gods, give that free play a chance to work within the constitutional framework." - Opposition leader Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore Legislative Assembly, Oct 4, 1956
* "Repression can only go up to a point. When it becomes too acute, the instruments of repression, namely the army and the police, have been proved time and time again in history to have turned their guns on their masters." - Opposition leader Lee Kuan Yew, Straits Times, May 5, 1959
* "I pointed to an article with bold headlines reporting that the police had refused to allow the PAP to hold a rally at Empress Place, and then to the last paragraph where in small type it added the meeting would take place where we were now. I compared this with a prominent report about an SPA rally. This was flagrant bias." - Complaining about the Straits Times in 1959.
