I have noticed alot of PAP hatred and I have to say that ur sarcasm is directed at the wrong person. Thanks for the generalization and obvious jealousy.
Look you conceited twit, we are not obviously jealous of you, your father, or any other such pathetic person. We hate Lee/Kwa and the PAP. and anything related or affiiliated with them.
Firstly, that so called evil lawyer you are talking about is my dad and to me he's the best dad on the planet. That is the worst photo of him I have ever seen and I can't believe who picked that photo.
The news paper article failed to mention my dad was very poor growing up and couldn't even afford toothpaste with his 7 siblings. At 17 he applied to be a CLERK at Lee and Lee. He worked there many years and was so devoted it moved Mrs Lee. She then offered to pay for his law school. He studied for 7 years part time while working as a clerk at the same time. When I was growing up, my dad was a young lawyer handling big assignments. The trade off was I almost never saw him. He worked 6 days a week from 9am - 12 midnight. When he got home, he would still be struggling with finishing up some law assignments.
Ok, Let me see if I got this right. Your father worked at Lee and Lee, impressed Gecko, and she paid for his law education. But he had to do it part time, not like an NS deferment basis, because god forbid Gecko should give him a leave of absence for his studies. Than after he completed his legal studies, he worked like a coolie, an indentured servant in excess of 15 hours a day for 6 day week. He was such a fantastic father even though he neglected his family, did not have the time to spend with his children. Is that about right?
But guess what. My dad met my mum overseas and had to understand a person of a totally different culture and he never seemed to inherit the hate and lack of tolerance Singaporeans have for each other and for other people.
Also, to make it clear his KIDS did not inherit special privileges for any given reason. I am a nurse in Australia, I moved there at age 18, and am absolute hippy backpacker with tattoos and red hair and an Australian metal musician for a boyfriend. I drive a beatup 86 hyundai lantra, and I live in a rickety house in Brunswick full of hippies and a colony of possums on our roof. My dad is proud of me no matter what choices I make. My sister is a jewellery designer, my brother is going to study science in Melbourne sometime. We are not an elitist family. While I understand your frustration with SINGAPORE in general since I am having a great life with minimum wage in Australia, I don't have to work too hard and life is good. Yes, Singapore is a HARD environment. But take your stupid flaming innocent people out of this. I believe I am saying it in a very nice way instead of any of you who would be hopping mad at someone calling your father a dog.
Let me explain something to you. There is a lot of hatred for the Lee and Kwas and the PAP in SIngapore. And anyone allied or associated with them. If Lee Kuan Yew was not the PM of Singapore, Lee and Lee would be a law firm run by a Cambridge educated Hakka chinese who could not speak a word of hokkien, mandarin or any main chinese dialects. At best, they would have been a small boutique law firm, or bought out after a while. Instead, by corrupt means and conflict of interest, Lee and Lee are awarded HDB conveyancing contracts in the hundreds of thousands totalling $billions of dollars, not to mention juicy govt. legal work. In other words, Gecko became very rich thanks to her husband's position of influence. The money That she used to pay for your father's education was therefore corruptly obtained. U are telling me that a smart person like your father never sat down and ask himself why with hundreds of law firms in Singapore, Lee and Lee would corner 90% of the HDB flat conveyancing market? Even a retard a can smell a rat. Fact is, your father sold his soul for money from Gecko.
Good for you that his money now enables you to leave a nice life in Australia. Unfortunately, people living in Singapore are not so lucky, and have to put up with gecko's and her husband's legacy. You and your family benefitted from your father's relationship with gecko, got your PR and Citizenships in Australia, and u dare to come here and say you did not inherit any special privileges? U are telling me that living in Australia as opposed to this shit hole is not a privelege? Many singaporeans stuck here and unable to leave will tell you that u are immensely priveleged.
As far as I am concerned, and most singaporeans here, anyone employed by Lee and Lee is an evil lawyer, and worthy of any name we wish to call them. The fact that your father moved his family to Australia ( or enabled them to get aussie passports), and decide that its a better place than singapore is a glaring condemnation of what is wrong with Singapore thanks to the Lees. But wait, I don't hear him speaking out about it, do you?
