Political Refugees & Detainees of Singapore

Ever since PAP came into power in 1959, party which had fought for "Democracy" has actually turned into the Demonic Monster of Democracy.

Most people have lost count of total number of Political Detainees and Refugees (who have seek refuge or asylum elsewhere on Earth) but I have seen a whole list of ISD political detainees prepared by Function 8. I believe even this list isn't exhaustive.

As for Political Refugees, there are many unaccounted for but there are just a few prominent ones in my era:

1) Tan Wah Piow
2) Francis Seow
3) Tang Liang Hong
4) Lee Hsien Yang

For a tiny little country like Singapore, I believe we have a very high number of Political Refugees per capital.

PAP gov has always tried to defend itself from the negativity optics arise from the "confirmation" of Political Refugees status by other countries.

However, when we are getting so many registered as political Refugees, most of us no longer find it strange that dissidents would be granted such status.

The implications of a foreign country granting Political Refugee status to prominent individual like Mr Lee Hsien Yang is actually enormous.

It is basically a big slap on PAP Gov when a country like UK which is supposed to be one of our traditional allies, has basically agreed and confirmed that PAP Gov has literally "persecuted" the son of the ruling party's founder, LKY!

This is the reason why I find it shocking. By granting LHY the status of Political Refugee based on the reasons he has put up, it basically means that the UK Gov has agreed that all these legal matters could be regarded as part of deliberate political persecution.

Most Singaporeans of my age or older would not find it difficult to accept political persecution as part and parcel of PAP rule but it is time for us to reflect, rethink and decide whether we should allow such "norms" to continue.

A Norm doesn't mean it is Normal or acceptable.

It's Time To Change. Yes We Can.

    Oh,and there are many sgs who also forced into “ECONOMIC ASYLUM” in countries like Malaysia,”BATAM” ,Thailand and China.
    WE must welcome FT-migrant$!!!
    But too many sg-PMETs have been forced to be economic REFUGEES OUT OF NO CHOICE.
    These are sgs who helped build Sg no less!

    WHAT PUBLIC POLICIES SHOULD DO FOR CITIZENS?
    $CREW them?

    Sgs must wake up!
    Too MANY FAKE $GS among us.
    Let us MAKE TRUE BLUE sgs GREAT AGAIN!!!

    很快的,结论就出来啦:—————-

    “ 此次肚中气出游的份量,强度非比寻常,加上这气的组成部分特别,不容易分解消失,将影响巨大。

    受到影响最严重的可能会是那个在赤道以北87公里的一个小岛。一个强度在里得地震仪9度的地震可以期待在24 个小时之内发生,岛内生物,如果还没接种地震疫苗的将会昏头专向七七四十九天”!

  • Party Against Peace:

    What is the pappy govt trying to prove persecuting the son of ruling party founder, LKY!

    JUST BECAUSE THE LEGACY OF LKY WHICH THE PAPPY GREEDILY MILK AT ALL COSTS BY BUILDING FOUNDERS’ MEMORIAL & NOW EYEING 38 OXLEY RD FOR PRESERVATION!

    FOR SUCH A TIME LIKE THIS WHERE THERE IS A STRONG LIKELIHOOD OF TRIGGERING WW3 WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT PRESERVATION OF PEACE RATHER THAN MONUMENTS & HEED THE FOUNDER’S LAST WISH & WILL TO DEMOLISH 38 OXLEY RD & HIS EXPRESSED DISLIKE FOR STATUES & MONUMENTS IN HIS NAME!

    I WONDER THE PAPPY HAS CHANGED TO A PARTY AGAINST PEACE!

    PRESERVATION OF PEACE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRESERVATION OF
    MONUMENTS!

  • Stop pretending to be blind:

    It is stupid of majority to support stupid decisions of LKY. Demolish the house like many political decisions LKY have made are wrong and should not be supported. Family planning has cause ageing population problems now. Welcome foreigners and let them be citizen has cause Singapore lots of taxpayer money, jobs and problems, resulting foreigners take over Singapore. Suing opposition to win elections and make PAP ruling party are wrong and undemocratic. These are many LKY stupid decisions which are wrong and should not supported.

  • Considering the amount of resources Hsien Yang and his family has (ever wonder why Gutsy can never die despite kenna ‘sanctioned’ so many times?), they could practically buy a citizenship almost anywhere in the world without needing an asylum, but they did not, ever wonder why?

    Bingo. Tech ask the right question despite not having a NUS degree or LSE 1.5 Phd degree like T$ai *****.

    Tech is sure NOT 10 years series model answer s dude. I hereby conferred 1.5 PHD degree to Tech.

    The answer:
    LHY chose UK because he knew his case will be reported in UK mainstream news media.

    And being Anglo Saxon, U$ or the 5 eyes news media will likely follow suit.

    There you got it. Maximum news coverage for him to embrass us internationally.

    Think it is about time we review some of our policies and how we treat our fellow sgs who were forced to leave our beloved country.
    We are all sgs.
    If we can tell our people to WARMLY WELCOME ALL SORTS OF ALIENS(their real backgrounds we do not truly know),why are we persecuting our own sgs just because they differ in their opinions?

    We should consider to sincerely welcome back our own sons and daughters who have fled our country because of differences of opinions.
    For any government to be honestly good,our leaders need to accept that some among us may have strong opposing views.
    Public criticisms that are valid and sincere must not continue to be frowned at and punished.
    This will impede our country’s progressiveness and much needed creativity which is being hampered by our reluctance to welcome opposite valid view-points.

    Our ministers are as human as any ordinary true blue loyal sg.
    As such,our ministers make mistakes just like anyone of us.
    To be honest,MANY OF OUR PUBLIC POLICIES AND PRACTICES ARE ERRANT AND ARE EVEN ERRATIC.

    TIME FOR TRUE HARMONY AS NATION IN ORDER TO PROGRESS.

    Politica refugee$ like LHY and wifey are way better off than being treated as political slaves in own country.

    Sgs are basically stupid.

    Nation-builders are treated worse than alien economic scavengers who come here to feast on our hard work.
    Imagine,nation builders are worth only $600 compared to what non-sgs got from PAP.

    If you invested in stocks, when you attend AGM, also have food and drinks maybe some freebies

    Even MLM seminars also thrown in a buffet to attract customers. Sometime even book a room in the restaurant. I attended some with friends. Basically go there and 白吃白喝. Eventually i find it a real waste of time and stop permanently. Time better spend on more important things.

    It is so remote that the 3M true blue are born here in this tiny place out of 8B in the world.

    Still,those among us who are entrusted to take care of this 3M sgs keep screwing us up.
    Sad that such is the case.

    The vibes here in Sg is really ‘buay jin chu’ compared to just 20/25 years back.
    It is a ‘spiritless’/soul-less Sg.
    The strong among us seize every opportunity to bully the weaker among us.

    Frankly,last 20 years saw public policies that are citizen-destructive.
    The COMMON GOOD OF SGS has been compromised extensively.
    Even in a site like TRE,we can feel the lousy sgs attacking fellow sgs.
    I shake my head like many true blue here.

    PM Lee has failed us in so many ways.
    It is time we reflect our real attitude towards our own weaker country-men as govt,as Religious leaders,as NGO LEADERS, ETC.

    We seem so quick to rush to render help to others but we scorn at our own fellow sgs.
    Such hypocrisy!

    Hope sgs like those from SDP and PSP can be allowed by voters to bring about good changes.
    Many of our leaders have dead consciences already.
    How can we be compassionate to others when we are not compassionate to our own fellow sgs?
    Isn’t that deep hypocrisy???

    All in all,we must give our thanks and be grateful to have such good and caring 1G LEADERS like Dr Goh ,Dr Toh and others who not only worked with LKY but offered good counsel to him to turn Sg into a beautiful nation it once was.

    The Govt tells us to welcome aliens but the govt does not sincerely welcome home our own ‘exiled’ sgs.

    What is wrong with dissent?
    It is not a sin ot is it?
    Honest dissent or criticism is healthy and must not be treated as a ‘virus’ like Corona to be rid off.
    In fact,wrong or errant govt policies must be corrected in order not to continue to cause harm on the People.
    And,there are abundance of such errant policies that have been causing grave harm on the true blue sgs.

    Remove all obstcles that hinder the real progressiveness of our very owm Sons and Daughters of Sg.
