We want Michael Fay


Michael Fay and his teenage friends were just mischievous spoilt brats doing mischief out of boredom. It was a phase of growing up, doing some silly things and regretting it later in life, but with no real intent to hurt or harm anyone. The blame can be assigned to puberty and the inbalance of hormones.

That incident of a few young punks spray painting a few cars and caned for vandalism was world news and probably hit the front page of many big time media world wide. The boy was ordered by the court to be whipped 6 times on his butt. His parents went crying to the White House and President Clinton took personal interest by writing a personal letter to the President of Singapore for leniency.

Michael Fay was given 4 strokes of the cane instead of 6. The caning of Michael Fay was nothing personal. It was a symbolic act of caning a boy for his mischief, an act needed to keep vandalism in check. What was more was that it said a big NO to the President of the USA by a small island famously known as a little Red Dot. The people approved and walked around with heads in the clouds. We stood up to the pressure of the world’s only superpower by caning his backside if needed to.

This episode is still remembered today by the people of the world. They look Singapore up for defying the Emperor. Only recently, a political forum in Taiwan spoke of the case again with awe and deference to the Singapore Govt and the man who said no to the Americans, LKY. LKY won a lot of admiration from Singaporeans and peoples of the world, and even the Americans. They respected him more. The Americans despise wimps. When there is a time to stand up and standing up for the right thing will bring honour and dignity, not the kind of dignity from having a big paycheck. In such times, not standing up will turn one into a stooge, a feeble lame prick.

The social climate of the little Red Dot has never seen the days of Michael Fay since. The island is being inundated with foreigners who acted as if they own this colony, and they ride roughshod over the citizens, ridiculing the citizens, abusing the citizens, beating up the citizens and even threatening the govt that they would take their businesses elsewhere. They have no respect for a weak govt. In the corporate world, they discriminate against the citizens and rubbish them no matter how good are the citizens, and favour their own kind, right before the very eyes of the govt. They kicked out and replaced highly qualified citizens with their own kinds. Can you believe that, in someone else’s country, not in their country? The little Red Dot is getting more little by the days. It is at risk of disappearing.

What did the govt do? Better not to say anything to offend anyone. Michael Fay was a juvenile. His naughty act can be forgiven for his youth. The rogues that are running around in this island are supposedly very talented professionals, men who are at their prime, who are expected to be able to think and act sensibly. They acted worse than the boy Michael, and more like beasts.

Appeasement, to let them off easily with little fines, or pleas would not work with bullies and swell headed thugs. They will keep on spitting at the locals and beating them up if they are not hauled in and be given a few strokes on their butts to mean business, to tell them this is our land and they better behave and obey our laws and respect our citizens.

Appeasement is bad. Capitulation is even worse. We need to do a Michael Fay on some of these foreign rogues that think they could bully our citizens and discriminate against them at work, for thinking that the whole island is all fools and whims to be had. The widespread discrimination in employment at high levels is sickening and cannot be condoned even for another day. Have we gone limp, unable to stand up to the humiliating affront by the foreigners that we begged and offered them good jobs and a good life here? Where is our manhood? We had that in the past, even though Michael was a boy. Are we so afraid of the rogues and we have to let them run amok in our country and do as they please, to abuse and insult our citizens?

Where is the man?
