Quote:
Dear Ayman Nour,
How are you? I hope you are well with all the tumultuous events that have taken place in your country over the last few days.
More importantly I rejoice with your people the freedom they have claimed for themselves by the toppling of Mr Hosni Mubarak. The Egyptian people today stand tall and proud for they have changed not just your country but the world as well.
I remember when we met in Cairo when you hosted us to a party at your home in 2009, you had said that free and fair elections in Egypt won't come about until the government is forced to hold one, and that in order to force free and fair elections Egyptians needed to defy the repressive laws through civil disobedience or nonviolent action.
How true your words have become.
Despotic regimes never voluntarily give up their stranglehold on power by holding free and fair elections. I have quickly learned that democracy cannot come about through elections that are controlled by undemocratic governments.
Hosni Mubarak held elections during his entire reign and always claimed a overwhelming majority of the votes. We know that that has been a lie. It takes for the people to hold peaceful assemblies in order force the such governments to hold free elections which is exactly what Egyptians did.
The Singapore Democratic Party is also working for free and fair elections and one day I believe that we in Singapore will also bring about democratic change.
We must press on and believe that despotic regimes cannot last forever, and they fall when courageous people step forward to demand change. Your people have demonstrated this exceptional courage to the rest of the world and we salute you.
In solidarity,
Jaslyn Go
Ms Go met Mr Ayman Nour when she attended the Liberal International Congress held in Cairo, Egypt in November 2009. Mr Ayman is the leading opposition politician when Mr Hosni Mubarak was president. A lawyer, Nour is an emblematic figure in Egypt and was in thick of the protests in Tahrir Square.
At the head of the liberal El-Ghad (‘Tomorrow’) party, which he founded in 2004, he was Mubarak’s main opponent in the 2005 presidential elections. He only won eight percent of the vote with the former president claiming the huge majority of the vote. Nour contested the results, and continued to work for electoral reform.
after a brief camel humping in egypt with fattie john, lamui had adopted a mummy or rather a daddy from the egyptian pyramid tomb. strange isn't it? lamui who claimed herself partyless pantyless was all the while master chee's top-grade disciple.
not long ago, she even set up USD or U SEE DITDIT CLAN. it was all very confusing! now peasants witnessed her name top on the list in SDP CLAN. which clan was she really in now?
lamui once proclaimed herself the EMPRESS DOWAGER flanked by her limping knights called the F4. JJ and chai sai was among her enunches. later she sparred with chiasai and created the CONDOM HEROES and was being bashed up by greenhat swordsman who was lamui's official husband.
now to rub on some egyptian limelight, she sent a congratulatory message to her egyptian mummy-daddy. and what was that suppose to mean? to the peasants, it was a joke! she might have unknowingly adopted her eygptian mummy-daddy but was he even wary enough to know or remember her?
looking at the picture, some even deduced that the she was photoshopped into the motley crowd. none except lamui was looking at the camera and she really did looked out of placing.
egyptian artillery aid for the SDP CLAN? next on cue, aunn san su kyi would be congratulated.
