They should have jailed him for another 30 years! If not we can never attain the Swiss Standard of Living!

I can understand why CTP was detained in the sixties. He might well have been a threat to the stability of the nation, though it must be said we still do not know because we are living in the gospel according to the PAPzis.

I can even accept that LKY made a political decision to remove a threat to himself - you've got to allow a man to muster all available resources to stay alive politically.

But what infuriates me is that the PAPzis continued to hold him (probably out of spite) long after he had ceased to be of an threat to the nation or even the PAPzis themselves. Had impunity simply become a hardwired habit?

Even worse was the fact that Singaporeans (including me) allowed this to go on unchallenged. Is apathy now the people's creed?

The poem at the end says it all.

Think of our rice bowls first before yopu think od someone else's problem. Toe the PAP line and you can't go wrong! PAP Vote PAP!

I wish it were really so simple. History suggests that that Lord Acton was right - absolute power corrupts absolutely. Just think of the following, of how they started out well, accumulated close to absolute power, and then...:

• Suharto of Indonesia;
• Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines;
• Mao Zedong of China;
• Benito Mussolini of Fascist Italy;
• Adolf Hitler of the 3rd Reich;
• Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe.

Please Sir, do not equate our beloved MM Lee with those scums. If not for him, you will typing Malay now in your post! PAP! Vote PAP!

Well, this is politics. To stay in the game, you have to remove or sideline your opponents. That's how the game is played and will be played for years to come. I believe other countries are also doing it, just maybe in a different manner.

Like the line in the movie "Gladiator".....

"Some people just don't know they are conquered."
