Flameproof...Why Sue?

[Singapore]

Our PM says he is flameproof. Then Why Sue Roy?

==============

Q: How do you remain so positive on your Facebook page, given that there are not so many kind people online?

PM LEE: You must believe in what you're doing. If you're doing something which you believe is right, worth doing, then even if there are some naysayers, you must decide whether you've got the majority with you or not. If not, you have to try very hard to persuade people. There will always be naysayers - that's the reality. If you want to do something for Singapore, for the population, you should not be deterred because there are some nasty postings. When you are in the public eye, you flame me, I'm flameproof.

Roy wasn't flaming or trolling. He was just raising very uncomfortable questions.

As far as Lee Junior is concerned, that is a suable offence.

If Suing can Win Votes in a General Election, by all means.
What a PR disaster for PAP.

Old habits just don't change.

In present day and age, you DO NOT need to go to courts to prove a point. So what if you win in the courtroom? Aside from soothing one's ego, there is nothing else.
The stigma of PAP - THE BIG BULLY sticks more to the hearts and minds of Singaporeans. More people will believe that PAP IS A BIG BULLY, even if it is not one.

Is this constructive? For lawyers, maybe. But for the average human Singaporeans, it is totally APPALLING conduct from leaders.

This would help in Roy's defence on the quantum of damages. Since he readily admits he is flameproof, then no damages were incurred, and Roy can be acquitted.

LHL flame prove? My ass!!!!! He is a weakling who talked big only in Singapore. If he is put overseas among foreign journalists, he will be crying for help and summoned all our Shit Times political journalists to bring his image back at a profit because you readers are going to pay to read Braddell toilet papers.

Yes, this is a good point. In fact, gay loong's lawyers cannot articulate any damages to his reputation themselves, and hence they have to ask him to state his own damages. what a joke.

LHL suing for the sake of making a point is no different from Opposition who opposes for the sake of opposing.

Constructive politics??? Yes???

 

[Singapore]

Majority of the 39.9% will be behind Roy, +/- 5%........ say -, so that is 35% (for completeness)

Out of the balance 60.1% who voted PAP, I am sure you have more than 5% who are against this kind of Suing Syndrome that has preoccupied PAP style of politics for decades.

And Ravi will demand an itemised laundry list of things as well as their 'damaged' value.
