Paid Fine and returns home for not reserving NS

I know what you mean.There are people blaing the man and this system in a vacuum, when there are larger background issues that seem to be hidden all too conveniently by the powers that be.Originally posted by HENG@:what if your dream is one where u only get once chance, one shot at it?
im sorry but in singapore the emphasis is too much on the society and not enough on the individual where it counts, and too protective of certain individuals who are not deserving of it.
So many people here making noise about one old man, when they dun care that 2 white horses have gotten away scot free with manslaughter. Incomprehensible.
Looks to me that it's done on purpose and many Singaporeans fell for the media, hook, line and sinker.Time magazine already did an expose on him a few months before the ST did.I would say that this was a crafted campaign to artificially rouse up emotions and to deal with two issues, mainly deflect attention from the death penalty hoo-ha and also to micromanage PR for certain group/groups to benefit, and these might not be in the same bed altogether..However, they might have misjudged the overwhelming public anger and thus, been unable to fully resolve the situation to suit their initial desires.
That's my take.I feel there is more than meets the eye here. -
which village in England is that? or which village in Europe? or USA? hmm?Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Then you should have been born in a village with no water to wash the scissors that cuts your umbilical cord, suckled by a mother too malnourished to have any milk, given water to drink that is swimming with cholera organisms and die from diarrhoea before seeing your first birthday.

i'll pm u about it. maybe after u know what i know, u'll see why i find it pointless to whine about something as trivial as melvyn's case.Originally posted by av98m:What is this white horse manslaughter case you keep referring to? -
All i can say is, u don't know what I know, u don't know what I've gone thru, u cannot judge that I do not see things from other points of view. LazerLord and some others here who know me will know what I mean. U wish to think im just hammering from my very narrow point of view, go ahead, but thats because there are many things u do not see nor know.Originally posted by Wanda:
Pesonally, is it so hard to forget and forgive one old man? -
maybe. now that u've pointed it out...Originally posted by LazerLordz:I know what you mean.There are people blaing the man and this system in a vacuum, when there are larger background issues that seem to be hidden all too conveniently by the powers that be.

*shrugs* I could be wrong, I could be right.Originally posted by HENG@:maybe. now that u've pointed it out...
There's just too much of farcical events these days..sigh. -
going by that CST death coverup, I'd say u're probably more right than wrong.Originally posted by LazerLordz:*shrugs* I could be wrong, I could be right.

Scared now huh? Making public statements without evidence will land you in a lawsuit.Originally posted by HENG@:i'll pm u about it. maybe after u know what i know, u'll see why i find it pointless to whine about something as trivial as melvyn's case. -
You should write fairy tales, since I doubt you will be as successful as Dan Brown with his consipracy theories. But I grant you this: the National Arts Council has totally underestimated the righteous anger of Singaporeans and they have shown themselves to be completely out of touch with the majority of Singaporeans.Originally posted by LazerLordz:I know what you mean.There are people blaing the man and this system in a vacuum, when there are larger background issues that seem to be hidden all too conveniently by the powers that be.

For people who pretend to understand the arts, the way they have handled this matter is crude and crass. -
Probably in Africa or Latin America.Originally posted by HENG@:which village in England is that? or which village in Europe? or USA? hmm?

Dude, you are not in the know, please don't make assumptions about what we know.Certain things are on a need-to-know basis, NS should have taught you that.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Scared now huh? Making public statements without evidence will land you in a lawsuit.

Ha ha ha. I believe Lazerlord says it very clear.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Scared now huh? Making public statements without evidence will land you in a lawsuit. -
Will do you well to be careful....the authorities are watching you...particularly HENG

double post

Thank you Heng...I have forwarded your allegations to the relevant authorities..Originally posted by HENG@:Ha ha ha. I believe Lazerlord says it very clear. -
im sure u have.
sounds to me like u're somebody's dog, not to be surprised by what actually happened at all. -
What's the problem? Haven't got the balls to back up your allegations?Originally posted by HENG@:im sure u have.

thats call 1 country 2 systems

I backed it up. The thing is, in this country, is evidence alone enough to overcome behind the scenes manipulation, especially in cases of cover-ups?Originally posted by oxford mushroom:What's the problem? Haven't got the balls to back up your allegations?
Are YOU part of that cover-up, thats why u're blustering for all you're worth here?
Maybe u don't know, but long ago, I've already put everything on the line in a bid for justice. If I have to again, I will, even though I prefer not to. But Let me tell u, your blustering does not scare me. You want to scare someone, go scare those brainwashed, automations u call singaporeans.
