The bully attitude is spreading within them. Elected MP like CST and LTK also got bullied let alone ordinary people. But bullying a low IQ kid is unacceptable!!

Please don't be fooled by George Yeo last minute plea on facebook.

 

Look at his true color.

 

 

DEBATE YES, BUT DO NOT TAKE ON THOSE IN AUTHORITY AS "EQUALS'.

20 February 1995

 

REMEMBER your place in society before you engage in political debate, said Information and the Arts Minister George Yeo yesterday.

 

Debate cannot degenerate into a free-for-all where no distinction is made between the senior and junior party, or what the Hokkiens describe as "boh tua, boh suay".

"You must make distinctions - what is high, what is low, what is above, what is below - and then within this, we can have a debate, we can have a discussion," he added.

 

Speaking to reporters at the end of his Moulmein tour on the parameters of debate, an issue sparked off by the Catherine Lim controversy, he made it clear that people should not take on those in authority as "equals".

The Prime Minister responded to writer Catherine Lim for her article on his governing style because her tone showed disrespect for authority.

 

Brig-Gen (NS) Yeo recalled that in 1991, the National Trades Union Congress raised a rumpus when Straits Times columnist Sumiko Tan criticised then union-MP Goh Chee Wee for his speech in Parliament.

 

Mr Goh felt that Miss Tan was "wagging her finger at him", he said.

 

Likewise, during last year's Budget debate, Parliament took issue with ST columnist Cherian George for his comments on the Speaker's handling of the guillotine.

 

"He had no right to speak to the Speaker as an equal."

 

Pointing to a more recent example, he noted that the judiciary responded when American academic Christopher Lingle took "pot shots" at it in an article he wrote in the International Herald Tribune.

 

He added: "This is not to say that MPs, ministers, Speakers or judges cannot be criticised ... They ought to be criticised if they are wrong but it should always be done in a way which doesn't tear the social fabric."

 

He said that these individuals did not arrogate to themselves the right to receive respect: MPs were elected while judges were appointed in a solemn ceremony.

 

Turning to examples abroad, he said the British monarchy had fallen into disrepute because newspapers criticise the royals to increase circulation. But the Thais threw those who criticised the monarchy into prison.

 

"Every society creates immune systems to defend its own key organs and we must have the immune system in Singapore. Otherwise, by slow increments, we allow these organs to be infected and degraded. And that is not good for us, it is not good for the health of whole society."

if GY DO lose, can he join WP as A+++ member and continue with Foreign Minister role ?

 

he can

- continue to serve as Foreign Minister (all perks remained)

- continue to serve Aljunied as MP (if his noble intention is stay 'connected' with Aljunied residents)

- this can alleviate the fear factor as explained by Mr Goh

- singapore admirers & supporters of GY can have their cake and eat it too !

 

SEE ! EVERY PROBLEM CONTAINS ITS OWN SOLUTIONS !

 

MEGA-Salary unaffected... BUT... he MUST BE ABLE TO TAHAN THE NON-AIRCON ENVIRONMENT DURING MEET THE PEOPLE SESSION IN VOID DECK

"Balanced views on the GE are hard to find. Mainstream media is biased towards the PAP, much of social media seems heavily biased towards the WP. Recognising that everyone has their bias and prejudices (including me), this long-winded essay is my attempt at distilling my thoughts on what's at stake for Aljunied voters."
