Rather than someone who appears to have one, while he continues to be the very beneficiary of a system he criticizes. <br /><br />Darkness 2015Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17473688.post-8407108146318553522015-01-04T12:50:30.093+08:002015-01-04T12:50:30.093+08:00So the list of scholars is also a list of all the ...So the list of scholars is also a list of all the people who are a potential threat to the evil regime?<br />So they must conform or be identified as a threat?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17473688.post-28728149197879842682015-01-04T12:35:29.185+08:002015-01-04T12:35:29.185+08:00What is a "good" and "well qualifie...What is a "good" and "well qualified" leader?<br />- The only good leader we need is one who has the heart to want to improve the lives of Singaporeans.<br /><br />Don't let PAP and their definition of "well qualified" leaders dominate the thinking in Singapore.<br />- PAP likes their definition of "well qualified" because such people are easy to Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17473688.post-8094192803940183272015-01-04T12:16:18.370+08:002015-01-04T12:16:18.370+08:00My apologies.

Few people bought that argument. Amongst them was Tommy Koh, then a lecturer at the Law Faculty of NUS. He wrote letters to the ST Forum Page, to denounce it.
