      More importantly, ask why he keeps asking for foreign players to interfere in singapore politics?
      And if he tells the truth, why is he hiding in Malaysia?

      @@scbchong6964 you characterise every reader of alternative media as psychotic and with mental issues, and believe that only the government's version of things are correct. that is a very dangerous and biased point of view.
      How do you claim to know what i will or will not say to what LHL could have done?
      Clearing his name in Parliament is a joke as it is basically clearing your faults with people who are subordinate to your authority. It is a fact that every single PAP MP in that room that day reports to LHL. If you make a mistake in the private sector, do you gather a room full of your subordinates and ask them to pass judgement? Will they dare to do so?
      On the other hand, if LHL sues his siblings and they trash out their differences in open court, the public will get to see the full argument presented by both parties and can see for themselves and decide for themselves, who they agree with.
      Also, I did not bootlick anyone, i merely disagreed with you. You are the delusional character here.

  • @pgobserver254
    @pgobserver254 6 місяців тому

    PJ Thum raises an interesting point. The logic behind not suing a sibling, especially in such a high-profile and personal context, could involve several factors:
    1. **Family Dynamics**: Suing a sibling could exacerbate familial tensions and create a very public and messy family feud. This could have personal, emotional, and public relations consequences that are best avoided.
    2. **Public Perception**: Engaging in a legal battle with a family member might be seen as excessive or vindictive by the public, potentially damaging one's reputation.
    3. **Legal Strategy**: The legal standards and potential outcomes might differ when dealing with a sibling versus a non-family member. The nuances of family disputes might make it less straightforward to pursue defamation claims effectively.
    4. **Political Considerations**: As a public figure, suing a sibling could have political ramifications, impacting one's career and standing within the political landscape.
    On the other hand, suing others who repeat defamatory statements might be seen as a way to maintain control over one's public image and deter further dissemination of damaging claims. 21:07

    How on earth could the Speaker of Parliament allowed parliament to debate the oxley rd saga when it's not a national issue...it's a private family matter..
    Has the Speaker abused his power under Singapore laws with regard to parliamentary process?
    And LTK,being leader of the opposition in Parliament,clearly had not performed up to expectation by failing to call for the PM to step aside and call for a full and thorough investigations on the allegations of ABUSE of POWER...
    Parliament was made a theatre by these people who was supposed to uphold its integrity...

      There were only 6 elected opposition MPs on his side. Even as he would 'call for full & thorough investigations', even as all 6 opposition MPs would vote 'ayes' in favour of his motion, you think the majority of Parliament(came mainly from the ruling party) would be in favour of his call for 'full & thorough investigations'??
      Talk is simply cheap. How about you put in the effort to vote for opposition, to bring in more opposition MPs into Parliament, so that the opposition can check on the ruling party, & vote effectively on the motions they made instead???

    well, you have to go slightly deeper IMO to see why LKY's legacy is still relevant and has power. IMO it comes back to money. he brought SG to relevance on the world stage and increased living standards. AND he is credited (now it is almost indisputable but like you said you never know how much credit to give someone anymore) with being a major driving force of this transformation (im saying this to contrast with Xi JInPing who may or may not get the same legacy of influence due to china's inevitable rise with or without his leadership).
    so LKY is relevant because he gave us prosperity. so what? ultimately the complaints you have are not so much SG PAP problems, but more a human nature issue and global governance issue. you have to admit these are problems faced by any govt. SG is one of the few govts that actually function in the world to a decent level (of course debatable and relative). but there will always be the relativistic argument that SG is doing so well, stop complaining, this is a first-world problem. i understand we need to improve, but i feel we also need some perspective.
    its not easy to maintain what prosperity we have from LKY (i.e. not to blow what we have now, in an increasingly challenging and volatile world). so to say the current govt is 'merely maintaining LKY's legacy' might not be fair...since the relative difficulties of building a nation vs. maintaining it are different and cant really be compared (akin to getting into a relationship vs. maintaining it lol). but of course we want to improve more, esp. regarding fairness, transparency, accountability, etc. i think from a utilitarian POV, its about prioritization. right now, one may argue that money, the economy, preventing us slipping, and remaining competitive in the global economy might and should be our no.1 priority. if this is agreed, then stability, continuity, etc. should be prioritized. but without transparency, accountability, this stability could also be easily compromised and descend into corruption. so there needs to be a balance, which is basically where the crux of the argument is. how does one even measure or know where the balance should lie? there is no comparable equivalent to SG. SG might arguably be near or at the pinnacle of governance globally? which other government could be said to do as well or better than SG?
    humans are flawed. hence governance by humans are flawed. i know this is not a valid excuse to not do anything, but it is a reason as to why its such a complicated issue that will not be resolved anytime soon. as long as economic priorities take front seat (and they will almost always in a capitalistic global order), the balance will forever be skewed towards it. as long as other issues such as transparency, accountability, etc do not exceed the level where they will destroy all we worked for...their current foibles will likely be tolerated.
    tl;dr i believe it cant be helped, we're already doing our best and i believe theyre doing their best given the tradeoffs/complexity involved. very open to someone convincing me otherwise.

    Not to speak for the Singapore government, but if the offense is against an individual, would not that individual victim have the right to sue or not? If that is the case, then I don't know whether one can make much out of it. I understand that if it is a criminal matter amounting to 'public offense' such as rape , then it would be different - then the public prosecutor will have to sue the alleged offender, and the victim would not have a say in whether the suit would go ahead or not. I have no legal background, so I may have been using the wrong terms, but that is what I am trying to convey.

      Why you envy ministers' salary? They build singapore such that all citizens can have opportunity to earn more than them if have the talent, determination and grit. But maybe you never think about that aspect because your brain blocked by your resentment of successful people.
      btw ordinary citizen's CPF is not forced by govt to use it all to pay for 2-rm flat. And those who earn enough to only afford 2-room flat, do you think have the talent to be minister?

      re: ....Best reason coming from the horses mouth. ....They are paid to run a nation not for us to be their babysitters to check their character. ....
      No, the other reason is that very few willing to come forward to serve with quality. Singapore got small population with Normal Distribution Curve. And as for those Opposition MP who earn 12k per month, they need even more babysitting because of their lack of character.
      re: ....Giving the kingdom to his first born was detrimental to Singapore n her people.....
      In your opinion only lah. You pretend to be kingmaker? In reality, complainers like you forget that LHL did 10 years of MP work before. And he came in after 9/11 and pushed ahead despite SARS. On top of it all, you got his mathematics and chessplayer brain?
      re: ....20% of foreign labour. 30% of our National University placements are for foreigners which could have been given to more of our minorities children :/....
      Don't make sweeping statements from your inaccurate biased opinions lah. Jobs and university places are not reserved for foreigners. And what if minorities don't make the grade? Lower standards? Are you insane?
      re: ....he is the same one who ask aged Singaporeans to stay in JB homes as it is cheaper....
      No, stop quoting out of context. The minister said that plans were being made to increase the quality of JB homes so that citizens have more choice. Govt is not forcing seniors to move. Big difference. But your bias brain only remember the wrong thing.
      re: ....Shameful much??? The same old people who work n contributed to the trillion dollar reserve n paying ur crazy salary :/....
      You mean all old people contributed positively to singapore? Cannot be due to Normal Distribution Curve, and so many uneducated then. I find that the english-educated middle class seniors citizens the most complainers, and likely to have been arrogant, mediocre workers in their youth.

    I believed l h l n siblings are in squabble because l h l wife are putting " fire " on them . There are a chinese phrase - a successful man behind are a woman. But when there are a bad woman she can ruin their family up side down. Hopefully l h l home won't have such a creature or it will be disastrous not only to his family but our country as well.
