Singapore Democrats

Mr Anwar Ibrahim
Leader of the Opposition
Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia

On behalf of the members of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP), I congratulate you on your recent landslide victory in the Permatang Pauh by-election.

The political tsunami that has swept across your country brings about a new dawn of democracy to Malaysia. We in Singapore, who are also fighting an authoritarian regime, find this development encouraging.

It is especially noteworthy that the Asian region is marching inexorably towards democracy, and towards a more just and equitable society free from oppression. South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Indonesia, Timor Leste, Thailand and now Malaysia have shown that desire to build free and democratic societies. The rest of Asia will follow suit.

We wish to express our admiration for the determination and vision that you and your democratic colleagues have shown. We wish you every success.

With warm regards,

Gandhi Ambalam
Chairman
Singapore Democratic Party

seebeng  -  Political tsunami for S'pore....     Fri, 29 Aug 2008 9:16 am When will Singapore experience its own political tsunami? It's time the PAP authoritarian regime is consigned to the dustbin of history. Quote 26   4

Mike not stupid  -     Fri, 29 Aug 2008 3:15 pm I think when Anwar comes to power, Singaporeans will be more enlightened and less fearful of Lee Kuan Yew's egoistic draconian laws. Quote 29   6

Old Uncle's Friend  -  Let's follow Malaysia! Yeah!    Fri, 29 Aug 2008 3:47 pm According to SDP, Anwar won by a landslide (60+%) of votes. Because UMNO lost by a landslide, UMNO calling for Adullah to step down. Last GE, SDP lost by a BIGGER landslide (less than 25% of votes) - therefore, SDP should have asked its leader to step down. Got happen or not ah? Party cannot get votes, must kick leaders out right? Who is SDP leader now? Still the same as last GE or not? Quote 17   40

Diry Lies and cheats  -  No More Being Fooled    Fri, 29 Aug 2008 5:00 pm Anwar's victory is a learning lesson for Stinkaporeans! Ps wake up -we need real change from FamiLee/Papee dirty politics and lies! How many times do you want to be fooled??? Quote 28   7

No Freedom  -  Some freedom in M'sia-easier    Fri, 29 Aug 2008 5:19 pm The difference between M'sia and S'pore is that there is "democracy" - people dare to speak out w/o fear! Unlike Singapore you get sued/imprisoned if you speak up and oppositions get "fixed"! S'pore controlled by dictator who is very afraid their golden rice bowls are broken if people know too much! Quote 25   7

Mike  -  anwar is anwar    Fri, 29 Aug 2008 5:26 pm anwar is anwar... Why? He was a Vice Premier before he became an opposition MP.. In Singapore, do you have any opposition MP who is formerly PAP minister..? None.. So How can Singapore be like M'sia at all? illogical Quote 12   39

nuclear bomb  -     Fri, 29 Aug 2008 6:26 pm nuclear bomb and war will bomb pap dynasty Quote 17   8

Muhammad Shamin  -  Salam Reformasi     Fri, 29 Aug 2008 8:09 pm Pak Anwar has shown us that anything is possible if we plan well and work together. He has manage to bring 3 parties of different ideologies together, show solidarity and win big in the 8th March Elections. The problem in Singapore is that Opposition have yet to show solidarity among themselves. We had one foolish opposition member from the Workers' Party who voted for the PAP instead of fellow opposition the last election. I hope that the Oppostion could form a solid alliance to counter the ruling PAP and bring about some positive development in the country. Salam Reformasi! Quote 14   6

Think Cat50 and Cat150 you also cannot tell the difference. Quote 9   4

Yoong Kheong  -  Disunity     Fri, 29 Aug 2008 9:08 pm Singapore Opposition is very much characterised by personalities of the individual leaders. The lack of unity between each of them justifies the dominant rule of one party Quote 6   5
