If the US agrees with Chee, what will happen to us?



Quote:
Chee Soon Juan to go on U.S. talk shows asking Obama to address human rights abuse in Singapore - when sending videoclip about chee's yakking failed, sent chee in personal gift wrapped to USA.

A week after MM Lee Kuan Yew was interviewed on the U.S. Talk Show – the Charlie Rose Show and was given a rare meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House, Singapore opposition leader Dr Chee Soon Juan will go on a series of radio shows in America.

The interviews come on the eve of President Barack Obama’s visit to Singapore for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting from 12-14 Nov 09.

Among the interviews will be one with Mr Ron Reagan on Air America and veteran talk show host Lionel Lipshitz on The Lionel Show.

In an earlier interview with Talk Radio News Service Bureau Chief Ellen Ratner, Dr Chee spoke about the repressive laws put in place by the Singapore government to curtail the political rights of citizens such as the recent public order law passed which ban even peaceful solo protest. - master chee could be suggesting that peesailand legalised the using of MAGNUM to blow other's head off!!

He also urged Mr Obama to take note of the human rights abuses in Singapore and call on America’s political and business leaders to stop collaboration with the Singapore government unless it improves on its human rights record.

Last week, Singapore Law Minister Shanmugan spent 3 days trying to convince a skeptical American audience from the New York State Bar Association that Singapore is a country of law and that its situation is “unique”.

Dr Chee’s personal testimony of the human rights abuses and political persecution he had suffered at the hands of the ruling party is likely to win him much sympathy from the American public and further damage the reputation of the Singapore government. - the law says NO to chee, but he persists and insists. then how? master chee higher than the law?

Though the ruling party is able to maintain a tight grip over the local media, it has little or no influence over the American press.

While President Obama is unlikely to heed Dr Chee’s call to exert pressure on the Singapore government to liberalize the political landscape, the negative publicity generated worldwide will nevertheless make the regime feel uncomfortable. - obama has better things to do then to listen to to the incessant whinnings from chee ah juan about his personal vendetta against the leegime.

Being a globalized city heavily dependent on trade, Singapore cannot afford to allow its international branding to be tarnished by charges of political repression.

In stark contrast, Hong Kong, despite having only limited self-rule under Communist China, seldom encounter such negative publicity about its political system.

Even China is becoming more conscious of its international image. Chinese President Hu Jintao recently gave a pledge to the western media that they would be allowed to report freely on events in China.

In an increasingly inter-connected world where barriers between states are breaking down fast by the internet, the Singapore government is finding it harder to keep the facade of itself being a “democracy” for long.

U.S. NGO Freedom House wrote in its 2009 report that Singapore is not an “electoral democracy which would have a detrimental impact on the impression the Americans have on Singapore.

While Dr Chee was never a MP, his influence on Singapore politics will extend far beyond Singapore’s shores. - obviously a boastful empty claim by the SDP CLAN

The Singapore government should realize that its tried and tested methods of stifling political dissent through repressive measures will eventually backfire on them and damage their own credibility which no amount of PR exercise will reverse.

From now onwards, it has to be especially vigilant to its actions which may give others free ammunitions to shoot at it.

Singapore “exceptionalism” is no excuse for its oppression. The Singapore government may be able to deceive its own people, but not freedom-loving souls from the rest of the free world.

SDP CLAN never ceases to exploit any website that is prejudiced and non-constructive. sites which are full of mischiefs and bias are just what SDP CLAN needs the most and also what describe the LOKI nature of master chee the chief public jester.
