Singapore Democrats

I am not so sure about the content and quality of the speeches, but at least organisation and energy-wise, well done, SDP!

I was very impressed with most of last night's speeches.....they were well-thought and delivered.
Suggest SDP reproduce them asap? Must let a wider audience listen and be enlightened....esp Dr Vincent, Jufrie, CSC and TKLian's

Vincent Cheng said that he was continuously interrogated in a very cold room and beaten for days, and then given a "knock out punch at the abdomen", before he couldn't any longer resist, and thereafter signed all the self incriminating documents given him to sign!

Now, he could not be lying, for had he been really guilty, and was really a "marxist", what motive can he have now, after so many years removed from the issue, in his old age, to raise it again now?

If he wasn't lying, then either 1) we have had an ISD which incompetently used tactics meant to establish real guilt and confemned an innocent man, or 2) we have had dishonest ISD officials who, in order not to displease a tough political leadership that would not take "no" for an answer, knowingly condemned an innocent man.

The third alternatively is unthinkable, that the leadership instructed ISD to use the tactics to condemn Cheng in order "not to lose face".

Very Good but please keep the momentum with regular rallies till the election, good way to expose the speakers to public speaking and eventually to parliament and to the voters for the SDP’s alternatives to PAP’s.

I join the calls for reproducing the event in electronic form as well as to keep the momentum going because there is that most powerful of publicity methods to take advantage of, namely word of mouth.

It is also significant that the SDP is using the very venue for this use, a venue that was granted to Singaporeans as a concession arising from the party's civil disobedience acts: naysayers of civil disobedience will have to reconsider their words in light of this.

Looks like SDP has many capable candidates this time round.The organisation set up and skills in running events are far better than others.Once it builds up the momentum, SDP can capture at least a few seats for sure.
