The Tak Boleh Tahan! campaign rolls into Bishan estate this Sunday, 6 Jul 08. SDP members , activists, and supporters will be at the Bishan North Shopping Mall in the vicinity of Block 282, Street 22 from 8.30 to 11:30 am.

We'll be distributing flyers to raise awareness about the campaign and to encourage Singaporeans to stand up for their own rights.

Citizens all over the world are demanding their governments to do something about the escalating cost of living. In Singapore, people have been intimidated by the PAP into silence even as the Government raises the GST, increases ERP rates, jacks up medical fees and elevates electricity rates. We, as citizens, have the right to demand that the PAP stops this profiteering.

Dear Madam Yeong,

The court transcript which you produced after being pressed has confirmed your dishonesty.

You wrote in your letter to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ): "Having lost [the case], Dr. Chee in open court then called the Singapore leaders 'murderers, robbers, child molesters' and 'rapists.'"

You cleverly omitted the phrase that I had said to Mr Davinder Singh: "...you might as well throw it in..." (see below). By doing so you hide the fact that I was referring to Mr Singh's wild conclusions, and that since he was making all these allegations, he might as well throw in these terms.

I refer to the letter by Mr Lee Kuan Yew's press secretary (Two Views of Freedom of Speech and Law in Singapore, June 30, 2008) in which she quoted me as calling, in open court, "Singapore leaders 'murderers, robbers, child molesters' and 'rapists'."

The outrageousness of Madam Yeong's lie borders on the comedic. Mr Lee Kuan Yew, or his counsel, is in possession of court transcripts and audio-recordings that would show whether I had uttered those words. He must now produce the part of the transcript that quotes me saying those words or he risks destroying his own credibility.

Can Singapore thrive when Mr Lee Kuan Yew is "absent"? This was what one delegate from Bangladesh wanted to know during the World Cities Summit held in Singapore last week.

This delegate probably didn't have a very high regard for the other 2,999,999 Singaporeans. In any event, it was one of those sweet questions lobbed at just the right height for Mr Lee to, to use a baseball analogy, hit it out of the park.
