And PAP, SPH, sent their condolences by demonising on tabloids.

LIM TUNG HEE - Why press leverage on another's tragedy?

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 11:01 am

My deepest condolences to my former team mate Lead Shake for his loss of his brother.
While we Singaporeans are greatly saddened by the unfortunate family tragedy and have shown empathy; I could not understand why the local press coverage had instead leverage on political damage to one of our most outspoken oppositionists.
Sensationalising another's tragedy to the point of slander is most unethical.
It is time our local press upgrade itself to be non-partisan before our nation ends in irreparable tragedy someday....

Tung Hee,

Notice the blatant difference?

When Goh Keng Swee divorced his old wife, in order to marry a much young girl who worked under him at the Ministry of Education when he was the Minister, most Singaporeans, except the press, knew about it, and rumours were spreading everywhere in the coffee shops.

Not a word in the press, when this was of such public interest (Goh, then Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, the architect of Singapore's prosperous economy, retired from politics the very next general elections).

Poor Tan is only a failed election candidate.

big pap propaganda - Hatch stories and live on people's miseries???

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 5:31 pm

Why even recently some ex-PAP candidate cheated some monies it was only in some small column that I almost bypassed it as some inconsequential being!

They made it such and played it that way - your wonderful PAP govt!

But when it comes to the Opposition - they sure know how to blow it up and make a big propaganda about it! What bloody same old tactics!

Hey Mr Lee and Son and the bloated sleeping cabinet ministers - is this what you are all paid to do ???

Hatch stories and live on people's miseries???
ANSWER ANSWER?????

SHEER WICKEDNESS!! - EVERTHING HAS A COMEBACK!

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 7:15 pm

Each and everyone have our own personal problems!

it does not mean that just bec you hold office you are hybernated from your fly!

Look at LHL a PM and his wife committed suicide or died or whatever do we needle?

PM,MM SM had tons of fly probs and very very shrewdly covered all of them up!

Even the President when they are Public figures and yet they cunningly hid them and glaringly focussed only on the glorious ones!

Always putting others and opposition in the negative light!

SHEER WICKEDNESS!!

EVERTHING HAS A COMEBACK!

I DO NOT WISH TO CURSE BUT ALWAYS LOOK AT YOUR OWN BACK B4 TALKING BAD ABOUT OTHERS

“graciousless society”, - MONEY MINDED MINISTERS

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 7:19 pm

"Singaporeans will still remember how the Government promised a “tolerant society”, a “gracious society”, a “compassionate society”, and even one which would allow space for “political dissidents”,as declared by Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong and Minister Vivian Balakrishnan"

Thank you - "Dr Chee's guts and graciousness!"

"One thing for sure - LKY hates /appreciates CSJ's guts"- no one in the sleeping bloated entire cabinet can match Dr Chee's guts and graciousness!"

Our Respects to Mr Guru an Opposition who died !

He shows all races matter!

Low Fak Loong - Why talk about slippers ?

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 3:30 am

My deepest condolences to Mr Tan lead shake and family.

I wonder why the PAP newspapers talked about slippers and opposition member's wife?

For goodness sake, this is a tragic story, why can't we just have some real news ?

For your info, Mr Tan did not wear slippers, he wore flip-flop(sandal).What wrong with that, PAP gays never wear before?

Flip-flop wearing has now become a vogue among the young girls, didn't the ST toilet papers keep itself in fashion.

How would Mr Goh feels if the news keeps saying " PAP Goh Cok Tong's wife said $600,000 is peanuts"

Sinkapore is already falling apart, i hope the ST toilet papers realise the cracks before it is too late to mend. You work for the people not for the murderers.

GRACIOUS SINGAPOREANS - Mrs PEANUTS GCT

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 4:35 pm

Shameless, Graciousless PAP!

Stinkaporeans should have made such a big case out of " PAP Goh Cok Tong's wife said $600,000 is peanuts"

But Singaporeans were to gracious and let it be!

Now we deserve it!

The Lees and the entire sleeping cabinet Ministers do not have an iota of integrity in them -flogging even a dead horse when it comes to an opposition party!
