The people of Singapore deserve the truth.

time for the real SINGAPURA to stand up!

"Based UN-JUST-TICE,and POOR-QUALITY"

vinzalicious... you sound perfectly brainwashed. Do not presume to know what it would have been like with these other political leaders. If you really understand and read about Singapore's economic success, you will know it was about a lot more than the PAP. And by what these "other political leaders" showed through their integrity and moral courage, they look like leaders who would have fought to the death for Singaporeans... and NOT for foreign talents, and not for money.

whatever you ppl said about LKY..think 100 times again..wht would have happen if other political leaders governs our country? will english be our first language? will our security and education one of the top in the world? will we have to worry about our safety coming home at night compare to other countries? think about both sides of the coins before voicing ya opinion...better think 1000 times before you speak about the founding father of singapore..

@akarsno .. I just read the news that even a journalist taking photos of flooding was handcuffed by the police. What offense had he committed? What was the reason? Can you explained? Is Singapore like that? The police can do what they like? Are they above the law?

@akarsno u totally have no idea of propanganda that is being fed to u..singapore with PAP or not will still be a succesful country,it is just the way we go to being a succesful country is not right

[akarsno]

I disagree with what he said....about the government suppressing people. This is blatantly wrong n a lie to say such things for a country like ours. We have come very far to achieve ... what we have today.

The people can see and judge within reason.

Also understand history of our country if you know your history well.

We are free ... not suppress as he says! This is Singapore ... !

You make your own destiny .... and choose which ever path that is your choice, don't keep blaming the government!

look at Malaysia now you people. Look at the Indians who protested in KL recently. We are just a small island. We want justice on the Malayan Peninsula. We are independent because we fought that injustice and got kicked out. Who is right after many years and now 2007, many is clear. The Malays not the other bumiputra are enjoying the special privileges in Malaysia.
