R.I.P. Lim Hock Siew

[rainnix]

Dr Lim Hock Siew passed away last night. He was arrested under Operation Cold Store in 1963 and was detained without trial for nearly 20 years before being released in 1982.

This video recording (link: http://vimeo.com/13292596) of a speech by Dr Lim Hock Siew, Singapore's 2nd longest-held political prisoner, is banned by the Singapore Government on grounds that it is against "public interest."

My heartfelt condolences to the family of Dr Lim Hock Siew. :(

Your comment is very unchristian-like. Where is your compassion and respect for one of His creations?

Even as a troll and we shld expect you to make provocative remarks, what you said is really bad tase, indecent, and clearly shows your extremely poor upbringing. I pity you and think poorly of your parents' parenting skills.

You're disgusting!

wow! this is the kind of opposition we have during the early days!!! if we can have more like him now, there will be no prob winning a few more GRC. during that era, so many good men and women lost their life for this tiny red dot due to politic. how i hope they were there in the parliament to challenge pap policies so we wont have to lead such a hard life all these years. hope more good people like Lim Hock Siew can stand up and join the oppositions now.

he is a martyr, like Lim Bo Seng 林谋盛.

R.I.P and hope the torch will be pass on.

There's no excuse for the likes of you and no one will feel sorry for a worm like you.

You're a stain on the face of the nation and like your mother I curse the day of your birth.

You are nothing but the scum of the earth!

i spent the years hoping that he will write his story. He wanted to but for some reason he did not proceed. Of all the detainees he knew the most. He was the defacto leader and had seen it all. He however did leave his oral history behind. RIP.

Oral history left behind? Excellent.

Remember China's Zhao Ziyang?
His book was released after his death, based on 4 years of secret tape recordings, 30 tapes.

Just hope Lim Hock Siew's memoirs get to see the light of day.

RIP

RIP, so he has gone first to prepare a welcome party for an important person? Make sure its a red carpet welcome.

You guys would have lots to catch up, 'friends' to meet.

Sometimes I almost suspect that you are deliberately out to put the PAP in a bad light. We all know that PAP supporters and their IB are brain dead, but surely they cannot be as bad as you.

The passing of a truly remarkable man. A real hero of S'pore who was forced to live in hard and miserable conditions for decades simply because he was an enormous threat to the Old Fark. A man worthy of all respect as not once did he gave in to the Old Fark's devious ways but stood tall on his principles. May his legacy lives on to inspire more to come forward to be counted against the current regime.

RIP Dr Lim Hock Siew.
