I read many comments in social media, needless to say anything about the
msm, of views that Chee Soon Juan is a rash young man. Many still
remember how he challenged Chok Tong with the remark, ‘Where is our
money?’ that led to his defamation suit and bankruptcy. Many would still
remember about how an honourable MP went around taking taxis to prove
that he cheated a few dollars on taxi claims. Then there was the postage
incident.
Take a step back and ask yourself? How serious are these indiscretions?
How many of you have made indiscretions in your life that were far worse
than these when you were young or in a moment of mischief or rashness?
We were all young before. We are bound to make mistakes along our
journey in life. I am not sure about people that claimed to have not
made any mistakes in their lives. I am very sure that I made many
mistakes too, some very silly ones, in my younger days. And even at this
age, occasionally I would still make mistakes. I am just an ordinary
human bean, not an immortal or god.
Having said that, I think there are really people that don’t make
mistakes in their lives at all. These are the demi gods and immortals.
They will laugh and sneer at the mortals for all the small mistakes they
made. That is the privilege of being demi gods and immortals. They
don’t make mistakes, they cannot make mistakes, and if they made
mistakes, they make sure that you would not know, or the mistakes were
not mistakes and would quickly be forgotten. Then they will walk around
with their nose up in the air, snorting around like clean, blameless and
sinless human beans. Oops, my apologies, not human beans, but demi
gods and immortals.
Come, come, look around, can anyone spot any mistakes made by any demi
gods and immortals? Does anyone remember the mistakes they made? No
right?
But coming to Chee Soon Juan, everyone seems to remember every fine
details of what he did as if they were serious crimes of the century.
Heard of yellow ribbons to forgive serious criminals?
Step back and ask yourself why are you acting this way, only seeing the
wrongs of one person but not the wrongs of demi gods and immortals. I
apologise if you really believe that only human beans like Chee Soon
Juan could make mistakes and the demi gods and immortals could not.
Next you will remember Roy Ngerng and Hui Hui for the next 30 years that
they heckled and harassed Special Needs Children and were charged in
court for being a nuisance in public. Would anyone remember what or who
caused them to be charged in court and the slew of mistakes committed by
the demi gods and immortals throughout the whole incident? No, yes, no?
Daft Sinkies are very easy to manipulate and plant ideas into their
empty heads. For they don’t want to think for themselves and allowed
others to tell them what is the truth, what is other people’s
truth(OPT). And they would not doubt a bit the OPT that is planted into
their heads by other people with other people’s agenda(OPA).
Next time when you think of Chee Soon Juan, please ask yourself why are
you thinking that way. If you have really been thinking about the whole
issue around him, fair enough. But if it is because other people planted
the idea in your head, don’t you think it is time to wash your head
with Dettol and cleanse it from OPT? Ask if any demi god and immortal
have done anything worst off than what you think Chee Soon Juan had
done, and who are they. You need to remember them too to make a sound
comparison and judgment of who is the better person and who is the real
devil. I mean devils, not demi gods and immortals. Or has the line
between devil and goodness been blurred or switched?
Judge Chee Soon Juan objectively, not because other people told you so.
He is bad, so he must be bad. That simple? People who have an agenda
against him will tell him he is bad and vice versa. You must think for
yourself and decide what is good and what is bad in your own interest. I
did not say he is good or bad. That is your call.

I believe sacking him based on trivial matters is not honorable. It show how small is Vasu.
ReplyDeleteI did not say he is good or bad.

I say, just like the PAP, he is both good and bad lah.
But unlike PAP, his good did not make him anywhere near to become elected MP for more than 20 years, let alone his party win the election to be govt.
So how good can he or his party be be, u tell me lah?
Ya lor.
ReplyDeleteAs a Sinkie politician, u can only be consider good if u can win elections, and best if your party can win to become govt.
As a Sinkie, u can only be consider smart if u can make lots of money.
Welcome to the realities in Sinkieland.
When one is rich and powerful, no sins and no mistakes.
ReplyDeleteWhen one loses power, all the sins and mistakes will surface. You cannot run, cannot hide.
When one loses power,...
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:18 am
PAP can lose power meh?
Sinkie opposition can contest 100% seats in a GE as one party meh?
Yew think yew will live forever meh?
ReplyDeleteLitmus test for all good opposition candidates worth his grain of salt :
ReplyDeleteDid he ask for return of our CPF money ?
Did he ask for restrictions of FTs to take our jobs?
Did he champion for lower property prices ? (sometimes up or down depends on property cycle and individual preference) One can argue both ways.
Although some netizens nicknamed him as Sinkieland Aung Juan Soon Chee, but he is no Aung San Suu Kyi lah, although both were "persecuted" for decades by the ruling party.
ReplyDeleteBecause Aung San Suu Kyi already won in Mynanmar, but Chee Soon Juan? U think he can win a seat next GE?
Or can his SDP even win any seats?
If can, then why Hainan Ah Ko left SDP to form his own party?
Besides Chee being eligible to contest, is SDP any stronger now than in 2011?
Litmus test for all good candidates worth his grain of salt :
ReplyDeleteDid he keep our CPF money ?
Did he invite FTs to take our jobs?
Did he champion for higher property prices ?
Did he abuse power to bully the people?
IMO CSJ lacks character.
ReplyDeleteWhen he was targeted by the PAP, the best response he could muster was some stunt demonstrating fake "self sacrifice". Hunger strike lah, purposely get arrested lah...please...this shit only works in movies, legends and fairy tales. Most people don't give a shit about you
Take Thich Quang Duc, for example. He was the Vietnamese monk who self immolated to protest the war.
No doubt the photo record of this event is spectacular even today. The images area cultural and historical icons. But what Thich did didn't achieve jack shit, except sell more newspapers and increase TV ratings.
Should Mr CSJ have a similar idea to immolate himself, I shall bring some sausages and steak to the event and have myself a barbecue.
It would be such a shame to waste a voluntary self sacrifice. At least, let us honour him by roasting pig meat, and then having a grand old feast :-)
I think he has toned down a lot. But please don't say that he toned down because he is scared of the PAP now.
ReplyDeleteI think his aim has not changed, his message has not changed. He just realized that if he carry on the previous way, its all too easy for people to paint him as a looney that no one will elect. And he realized correctly. His story is in fact an example for Roy and co to follow.
But, I have to say this. The man can't retain talent in his party. SDP would be much stronger with Vincent, Ang Yong Guan and Tan Jee Say still in the ranks, and was the reason why they made such a good showing at last GE. But Chee managed to let these 3 star players slip from his grasp.
Who has he left? Ex political detainees like Teo Soh Lung whose main selling point is the grievance she suffered?
Thats why, WP still better.
"But, I have to say this. The man can't retain talent in his party."

Maybe with a multi-million dollar budget like PAP, maybe Chee Soon Juan can better retain talents.
But then again.
With PAP's multi-million dollar budget;
Is PAP very good at retaining or even attracting talents?
PAP no good. WP is still the best. If and when WP come to power, they will be able to retain talents, give out our CPF and achieve full employment. FTs all balek kampong. Locals all can earn high salary like what they used to, without competing so much.

Anon 12:33 pm
That is beside the point.
The point is that PAP's multi-million dollar budget enable them to contest 100% seats every GE, which in effect is telling the 60% Sinkies that they are ready to be govt.
Because time and tide has proven that 60% Sinkies will never vote any parties which are not ready to be govt. So why should the next GE be any different, u tell me lah?
With a multi million dollar budget of OPM, can have 3 PMs, 3 Dep PMs, Ministers can have 3 dep Ministers, Minister of State each can have 3 dep Ministers of State, each Mayor can have 3 dep Mayors, each Parl Sec can have 3 Parl Secs.
ReplyDeleteAnd PMs, Ministers, Ministers of States, Parl Sec can also be promoted to Senior PMs, Senior Ministers, Senior Mayors etc etc etc etc.
With OPM, anything also can. Money is no problem.
WP can also adopt OPM what, no problem. Anything can.
ReplyDeletePAP is not the best but also not bad lah. Just need to remove some very highly paid no more charm ones and put in some handsome and pretty ones that can act better.
ReplyDeleteJust ask yourself this _ Would Chee do a better job in holding PAP accountable in Parliament than the current bunch of WP MPs?
ReplyDeleteThats why he has to been kept out at all cost, punished for the most trivial matters.
And the sycophantic media and worse our herded mentality also play along.
"Would Chee do a better job in holding PAP accountable in Parliament..."
ReplyDeleteAnon 5:53 pm
Ya lah, but the problem is whether by hook or by crook, and for more than 20 years, he just couldn't get into Parliament!
20 years, even in politics, is a long time u know.
Even Aung San Suu Kyi, who was persecuted for just as long as Chee, already got into Parliament in Myanmar!
So by hook or by crook, when will Chee's turn come, u tell me lah?
Soon my friend, by 2016. He will scare the shit out of Loong's pants in parliament
DeleteAnon 5.53pm.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you read the post? He/she talks
about the 'herd mentality' of the masses.
And believe me, there are a lot more sheep here in our midst than you care to count.
Many still believe without LKY, we'll be a backwater timbaktu. I was once too!
Looking at all the comments here is there any wonder why the PAP would not continue to dominate the political landscape here?
ReplyDeleteWhat fools you mortal be! The ongoing drama in HK offers no lessons to self-centred buffoons like those here.
Thank you Gary, to be another buffoon here. Stay and be comfortable. I know all buffoons love to be here but pretend not to like it. I am very sure you will be the biggest buffoon that would not go away.
