bro,
clearly and surely, pragmatism is too deeply rooted.

We are good at following instructions but fear the unknown even for a miserable footpath.

The number arrested was about 20+. If I recall correctly, all of them were sent to ISD Whitley.
Noticed that they learnt their lessons in the Tak Boleh Tahan arrests. Woman officers deployed in drill attire, T-shirts and pants.
Aiyah, they should sub-contract this to Certis-Cisco and pay them per person in the van. Most of them are Malaysians anyway, they will do it quickly so that they can get to their terrace houses in JB before the usual jam. On the way, tapau beancurd and 2 roti prata.
You won't be complaining about softie police if you'd seen how me and my buddies arrest people in our time. Me and my buddies were "the last of the mohicans." We were caught in the vacuum of a time warp, outstayed our welcome in the force and faded away quietly.
The days of Oh Kim Kee and Lim Ban Lim roaming the streets, armed and dangerous, are over. The police force needs to change and upgrade with the times. So they said. In fact, there was a proposal in the early 90s to change it's name from Singapore Police Force to Singapore Police Service. Blessed be the one, whoever that was, who managed to stop it.
Wholeheartedly agree. You cannot fight SS, criminals using these methods.
I do see your point. It's not a matter of degree of force or violence used in an arrest. It's the process of the arrest. Once a decision or oder to arrest is made, it should be carried out steadily and professionally.

Call Lionel De souza:p
Confucian philosophy encourages people to speak up and question authority. Confucian disapproved of those who did not point out flaws to the rulers.
It is the blatant distortion of confucian teachings by PAP govt through the sycophantic press that has resulted in what we see today - a meek, calculative and tame population.
I recalled this verse: The emporer be the emporer, the minister be the minister, the trader be the trader, the peasant be the peasant. the father be the father, the son be the son, for anyone who try move over and take over the role of the above against the mandate of heaven, shall be punished by the will of heaven.
During the Autumn-Spring period, many kings had their power usurped by their ministers, leading to social and political chaos. Confucius was promoting social order.
social oder is one thing, ensurig that the order dun change to hold onto power is another
Were any charged and convicted or detained under ISA?

The order of kings and ministers didn't change but the power of the kings was lost to the ministers.
Confucius crafted his philosophy and teachings for peaceful co-existence amongst the warring states. He didn't expect Qin Shihuang to do one up on him by simply conquering all the warring states, and attempted to eradicate Confucianism as feudal and futile. But Qin Shihuang himself didn't expect his Qin dynasty to fall as soon as the second generation. The succeeding Han dynasty inherited a Qin-style unified empire but also restored Confucianism to national school of philosophy, thus canonising the definition of Chineseness henceforth hitherto.
Qin Shihuang started legalism, he was against confucianism from the beginning.
this is evidence by the burning of the books.
