High time you go back to the Hospital for Criminally Insane
and beg then to accept you back, roaming the streets will
become more and more lonely.

Truth's comment : These are men and women are Singaporean Heros and
Heroins.
What they
did is right and just. They are fighting for the hardpressed Singaporeans.
That the Leegime chose
to charge them for doing such righteous thing is an indication of the
Leegime's bullying ways and
the Leegime's bankrupcy of ideas. The Leegime is desperate as their
supports
amongst Singaporeans
are dwindling fast. These young men and women are extremely brave and are
prepared
for the ultimate sacrifices of going to jail in their fight for justice
and
fairness for the average Singaporeans.
Shame on you Lee Kuan Yew. You are no more than a liar, a coward and a
cheat. You are nothing
compared to these 18 brave and righteous young Singaporeans.

Upbeat and ready to continue speaking up for Singapore
Sunday, 29 June 2008
Singapore Democrats

Far from being downcast the 18 activists who have been charged with
taking part in an assembly and procession without a permit showed they
were
made of sterner stuff.

The group met on Friday to discuss events surrounding the charge and
their attendance at the Subordinate Courts on 11 Jul at 9 am. Their upbeat
mood suggested that they were keen and ready to continue speaking up for
Singaporeans in the Tak Boleh Tahan! campaign.

The activists are charged for conducting a protest outside
Parliament
House on 15 Mar 08 against the plethora of hikes introduced by the PAP
Government such as the GST, transport fares, education fees, ERP rates,
gas
and electricity tariffs, medical costs and so on.

These increases have exacerbated the already dire economic situation
of many Singaporeans. The working poor have been the hardest hit.

The activists were determined to rally support from the people to
fight back the Government's punitive measures. One of those charged,
Jaslyn
Go, told everyone that "public support is our best weapon against them.
Let's stand united against them."

Chee Soon Juan duly noted that Jaslyn showed the kind of leadership
that Singapore needed.

Lawyer Chia Ti Lik jumped in: "Sometimes, I think the women folk
outdo
us in such things. The ladies in our midst who do so much to inspire us
with
their tower of strength."

Ti Lik was, of course, referring to Jaslyn, Chee Siok Chin, and
Suraya
Binte Akbar who had played leading roles in the campaign for political
reform in Singapore. This is despite the fact that some of them are
mothers
of young children.

Pointing to the PAP's strategy in dealing with the reform campaign,
Chong Kai Xiong noted that when provoked, it seems that Lee Kuan Yew will
make nasty and irrational moves at the expense of his regime.

Agreeing, Ti Lik added that pro-democracy advocates needed to be
bold
and daring at this time: "This is a test of our wit and courage at this
point of time."

Underscoring Ti Lik's point, Sylvester Lim said: "They just sent me
the love letter. My wife told them she was expecting it and they were
surprised that we were not intimidated."

"Let them know that intimidation doesn't work on us any more,"
Sylvester continued, "because we are no longer afraid and it is our right
to
speak out as citizens."

"I am ready to go to jail for this cause," Jeffrey George weighed
in.
"Everyone must remember that what we did was not wrong and we did not do
it
for our own gain."

Indeed the protest was to speak up for Singaporeans affected by the
price hikes initiated by the Government. This has driven thousands of
Singaporeans into desperation, many unable to even afford meals. The level
of homelessness in Singapore is unprecedented.

But unlike in other democratic societies, citizens here have no
avenue
to protest against government action and exploitative policies.

Muhammad Jufri had one concern though: "We just need to make
arrangements so that we don't go to prison together. Someone needs to take
care of our children. But I'm proud of what I did."

Jufri is, or course, referring to his wife and mother of three young
children, Suraya, who has also been charged. She also indicated that she
was
at peace with what she was doing. "The policeman who handed me the letter
seemed nervous," she told the group, "his hands were trembling."

The group reiterated their views that they tak boleh tahan the high
cost of living. The youngest of the group, 20-year-old Shafi'ie made only
one short comment: "I have no problem." Everyone applauded.
