Singapore Democrats

On 26 Jul, CSJ wrote to the Acting Minister for MICA to urge him to reply within three days of to his letter, failing which SDP will “take the necessary remedies that are open to (it)”.

I commented then that “without clearly spelling out what those onerous remedies possibly are, the minister is unlikely to be persuaded to act.”

“Others would likely assume that its most potent weapon is a puff of hot-air!”

Now, more than three days have passed.

Indeed there has been a response: the Press Secretary to Acting Minister has simply repeated what it has been doing for more than three months - "wait!"

Again we hear the oft repeated line: “The application for the renewal of the newspaper permit is being processed and the ministry will get back to on the outcome in due course.”

And what has CSJ to show for the threat of “necessary remedy” that he menacingly posed to the minister?..... a bloodcurdling and browbeating series of pleading and forlorn phonecalls.

Is the “necessary remedy” we have been holding our breath for?.... a puff of rancid air, via the telephone at that?

In case he has not realised, CSJ has just been given a good dose of the old civil-service runaround game. And all he can do is to huff and puff around looking desperately for someone to take him seriously.

What a sorry sight!

My advice to CSJ is this: if CSJ does not have respect for the system, he should not expect any respect from it as well.

If he thinks that the rules/laws are for him and his coterie to break and abuse for his various antics and theatric, then he should not expect equal and fair treatment under these.

Try not to be too impervious. CSJ should start figuring why we have not heard of other Opposition parties having problems renewing the licence for their newsletters.

Like it or not, MDA is a civil servant, not a political servant. The time taken for MDA to reply to a request for a PAP newsletter should be the same for opposition parties - SDP or otherwise.

Not a double standard please, not while you are a civil servant paid by the average taxpayers - stay apolitical and do your job.

In the meantime, BryanT, there are many other social injustices out there. Go try to unwind them given the 'intelligence and time' that you have.

You can't win the PAP. In the eyes of LKY, you are a 'knock-out'. Don't try to gain sympathy here and make a fool of yourself. Resign.

yeah right retard lky is gonna live forever. just like the chinese used to believed that the mighty ching dynasty was going to rule china forever, blah blah blah

Good job Dr Chee, I support you from the bottom of my heart. Cheers!

How appropriate that I should be posting this response to BryanT to be filed under the topic of buffoonery. The psychopath now claims, "My advice to CSJ is this: if CSJ does not have respect for the system, he should not expect any respect from it as well."

Well, I've got news for all who are as soft in their heads as he is. This is The System:

1. You apply for a licence to sell - or is that "hawk" - your party newspaper understanding that the longstanding practise is for the application to be completely processed in two to three weeks.

2. As a party that believes in the rule of law, the SDP understands that the procedure of prcessing the application is meant to conform to the "equal treatment" guaranteed under the constitution; that is The System.

3. The homophobic Christian Taliban homophobic, Lui Tuck Yew, surreptitiously attempts stalling tactics contrary to the procedural fairness that his ruling party claims it practises, the logical consequence of the rule of law; no doubt, he is under instruction by the cabinet he is a member of. Christian Taliban Lui clearly is disdainful of The System and clearly has NO RESPECT for it.

4. The SDP seeks redress, and that is the point in this saga that we are at. Any properly functioning System would have a means to seek recourse.

Clearly, the BryanTs of Singapore are similarly unrespecting of The System but will deviously try to distract any attention to it by instead projecting that blame on to the SDP in general, and Dr Chee in particular.

We'll see who gets the respect in the final analysis.

Well, well the art of Tai Chi is a graceful exercise of 'to and fro'. A clear cut case of unreasonable delay of the magazine licence. SDP may not be issued one. Politically motivated to retard the movements of news from SDP to the masses by their publication.

Unfortunately, the baboon played the Tai Chi too long with his P. secretary, MDA and even involving assistant Pat... Not me har! I am Patrick. Must be direction from above because baboon will not buffoon, knowing too well he is a natural buffoon baboon.

Please give us a break, we really feel that photo should not be put up for posterity.

The above accompanying picture of the Minister in question, Lui Tuck Yew, is most fitting.....what a buffoon with goofy-teeth to boot, leading the buffoonery at MICA. No wonder Dr CSJ is being made to run around in circles. First world? More like 3rd World...

Richard Sonnenfeldt, Chief Interpreter, Nuremberg Trials -
"I made a discovery, all my by myself, and the discovery was, that in order to serve a dictator for years, you have to be someone, who has no integrity, who has no pride, who has no conscience, who has no ideas of humanity above his own. You have to be a yes-man, who does everything for material gain or rank. So the discovery that these Nazis, who had been blown up into hugh monsters, were such ordinary people, with no experience of the outside world, and no morals, was the greatest shock to me in Nuremberg."

"Work will set you free" Old fart ask us to work till we die.

These words are the main gate of the concentration came in Auschwitz.

I agree with quantum, Nazis have many bright and intelligent people working for a dictator.

Intelligence and Bright do not always equal to someone with humanity, compassion, integrity and honor.

Just look at what our famous RI produce and you will understand.

It will definitely prove your point if you record these phone conversations :)

BryanT says: "My advice to CSJ is this: if CSJ does not have respect for the system, he should not expect any respect from it as well."

Hmm, the NSP is most respectful of the "system" somehow were not respected the "system".

So going by BryanT's logic the NSP should also "disrespect" the "system"?
