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?
