I had the privilege of representing the Alliance for Reform and Democracy in Asia (ARDA) as an International Election Observer during the campaign leading up to polling day. A fundamentally different outlook from Lee Kuan Yew: Part 2 [3] Thursday, 09 May 2013 Chee Soon Juan  In one of my books, To Be Free: Stories from Asia's Struggle against Oppression, I wrote (only half in jest) that the only difference between communism and capitalism is that the communists have admitted that they were wrong. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes: The long-term implications of suing citizens [0] Thursday, 02 May 2013 Vincent Wijeysingha  Hiding behind the proposition that public bodies cannot be criticised because this leads to a decline in their standing is, in logical terms, a nonsense because if the criticism is found to be true, then their standing is indeed wanting and requires remedy. At best, it is the refuge of the insecure, at worst, an attempt to maintain an unhealthy status quo. Either way, it puts the long-term stability of our nation at risk. A fundamentally different outlook from Lee Kuan Yew: Part 1 [0] Tuesday, 23 April 2013 Chee Soon Juan |
