It
was a bit sad to read Roy’s confession that he was
feeling the stress and strains fighting the CPF battle alone and facing charges
in court for defamation and a public nuisance. I must say that it is no mean
feat for a young man, and Hui Hui included, to face such pressure at such a
tender age. It is like the whole world closing up on them, no jobs and no
prospect but with an axe over their heads.
There
are not many people, young and old, who could take this kind of heat like JBJ
and Chee Soon Juan. And no one is resolute and tough enough to give up a good
life like Poh Soo Kai and Chia Thye Poh. These people too went into the
political cauldron of fire and survived, becoming bigger men but financial
paupers.
Roy
Ngerng is starting to go through the same regime, to be melted down in the
cauldron of fire, to be turned into pig iron or steel. Could he continue to
take the heat? Women are described as made of porcelain and would get harder
and stronger in extreme heat. Men will melt like iron. But at the end of it,
they would still be iron or strong as steel.
Is
it worth it to sacrifice once life for a cause, for the good of a nameless mass
who may or may not appreciate what Roy and Hui Hui are doing? It is not only a
thankless task. Some would even ridicule them for being silly and nothing
better to do. This separates the ordinary from the extraordinary, the men from
the boys, from people who lived for an idea or cause and people who just live simply
and die in a life of non events.
I
can’t tell Roy and Hui Hui what they should or should not do. If the heat is
unbearable, they might want to call it a day and take a breather. It is all a
matter of a calling, to answer to their hearts, to do what their hearts want
them to do, not the reasoning of their heads. Rational thinking would say, why
waste time on a losing cause and worse, when the people whom they are standing
up for just do not care.
It
is your call Roy, and Hui Hui. Yes it is a very lonely journey, a battle
against a huge machine with many buttons to press to hurt, to persecute and to
humiliate. How many of you out there appreciate what these two young persons
are doing and are going through? When they need you most, would you be there to
stand by their sides?
The
only positive thing is that the end is near. Roy and Hui Hui did not come along
for no reasons. Together they have scored three goals, the CPF issue that
awoken the sleepy masses, raising the consciousness of the people to act in the
crowd funding when he was charged for defamation, and making things looked ugly
and silly, the biggest goal, when the machinery came down hard on them but with
very little to go on. Many ended up with red faces and many would have to face
their desserts for what they had done to Roy and Hui Hui.
Even
if Roy and Hui Hui would to call it quits now, these three goals would be the
legacy that could be very telling in the next GE.

What so telling about it in the next GE?
Will Roy and HHH contest next GE and if so, under which party?
And if they contest, will they win a seat in Parliament to better and continue their so called RB defined 3 goals, rather than at HLP?
And all these will be very telling in the next GE.
Will Roy and HHH contest next GE and if so, under which party?

Knowing the Sinkie opposition, I wonder which party is willing to accept them?
How about common citizen who do not bother whether CPF is high or not but only bother his everyday unfairness he got from the society but PAP done nothing?
That the best.
From primary school to secondary school, say pledge. But our minister is not following it.
What party? No party. Want eat Chapathi a not? Sleep ah? I let police torture my mum like that. Bullshit party regardless of which.
There is always rainbow after a thunderstorm!
Hi Unresolved grievances, welcome to the blog.
No where in the whole world would people just give up on their hundreds of thousands of dollars in their life savings in the CPF. But Sinkies will and are telling everyone to do so and admitting that it is not their money.
How about those old folks who lost contact with their love one? There is another old man inside when I go bail my mum.
When my mum come out she is already shivering in fear. Police Tua Lan. Don't bully commoner. No balls challenge Little India Riot and SMRT. Than keep quiet and go back Malaysia do farming. If not IPPT get gold first. Minister employ foreign Talent bullshit.
"But Sinkies will and are telling everyone to do so and admitting that it is not their money."
RB
It's not that lah.
Just like some Sinkies voted PAP doesn't mean that they are telling everyone and admitting that they like PAP because PAP is competent.
If the commoner cant get fairness for small things in their everyday life. Dont talk about CPF.
No choice than come blog. I have been waiting for a few years. HDB say that man who need rental housing but no proof right? Is HDB lying? I gave them a few years still not enough?
More to come. You think SMRT Feedback love to do what they want to do? It is because actually Singapore is a unlawful place.
How to write blog Red Bean? Want meet me? I show you everything black and white. Pour everything out.
Nonsense organizations. I know how to email also useless. How about those old folks who do not know? Need to travel from one end of Singapore to the other end and to the other end and than go back to the first place which they went previously.
Even Media Corp now got Media Corp Care? Wow. So many organization ask you donate.

This PAPig talk so big.
a. Scrap the GRC system.
b. Reduce the election deposit to $1,000.
Then we see some real diversity in our political candidates.
So if police can harm people with no reason and evidence?
That mean it right to take knife and cut people at Raffles place also.
What is the different? High pay equal high calibre?
IPPT cannot get gold. Eat until need to have $8 bypass. What Buddhism? Gluttony is a sin. Dont talk rot.
Hi Unresolved grievance. It is apparent that you have something that needs to be resolved and you are hitting road ends everywhere. When official channels like govt offices amd MPs cannot help, yes, the last resort is to air your grievance in social media.
Try contacting TRE and see what they can do. Go to TRE and ask for Richard Wan. At least you can have your side of your story told in TRE and a bigger audience. TRS could also help to circulate your story for more to read.
When the law looks the other way, do the necessary.
You pretending to be Matilah Singapura? Does not sound right to me. He is insane and you are more insane than him.
Right Mr Chua. Once I just commented of my being bashed by a foreign Brit renting apartment above my unit.
TRE posted it as a main tropic and have hundred over comments scolding mothers and fathers on this bastard.
Now shahmugan said will be having a bill to coerce parties for compulsory mediations.
So unresolved grievances write to TRE.
These chiak liao bee government ah kuahs will take note and will discreetly do something.
THEY WANT TO SAVE FACE
Hi Unresolved grievance, just make a comment in TRE and ask the moderator to get Richard Wan to contact you.
@1201:
>> He is insane and you are more insane than him.
Thank you for the compliment ;-)
All I'm saying is, some things are very small matters. just forget it
Hope that Redbean will direct Unresolved Grievances to seek the right place for the redress or help . Felt a little sorry for what Unresolved seemed to be going through. Sometimes it is just good to let go and move on. Shalom peace be with you and mother. This world is not perfect and we learn to forgive and let the Lord God takes His own course as we leave such sadness and unfortunate events behind. Not to be embittered and be a prisoner of the soul.

Even if pap loses the next election, nothing much will change. The ruler has complete control of the money supply already. It is too late leow.
only way is to pray day and night that fire descend upon the istana and punish those people who created all the mess.
Next GE? Which party going to use RN as an electoral topic in 2016? When they already abandon him now?
He had three star players on his team. Cpf, crowdfunding and the hlp rallies. End of which the result is no political support gained, low attendances, falling donations and worst all, own fellow activists turning on him.
