Singapore Democrats

It is a very sad day for all Singaporeans. He was indeed a fighter with passion for Singapore.

Why must he go before LKY?

Why the good has to go first?

[color=red][b]Happiest day for S.O.B. LEE Junta!

No more interogations!

Sad day for Oppositions in Singapore!

They the Papees will all pay for their sins!

He died till the last day fighting for justice for Singaporeans! He is no coward![/b][/color]

[b]What graciousness does Singapore govt has??

No respect even for the dead??

I was watching CNA and not a single mention or respect of his dear death!

After what he fought for justice !


The Papees did all the dirt and swindle yet he fought for us all![/b]

It is 6:25 pm Mountain Std Time in Canada and while reading your website site this news pop up. I think I might be the first to read.

Then I checked on the Straits Times Interactive, there was no news. Thus yours is faster than the PAP mouth piece.

When I heard the news, I couldn't believe it. Guess we all have to go someday somehow. Rest in peace JBJ, your decease is a loss indeed to us all.

[color=blue][b]One mouthpiece lesser for FamiLees to fight against!

This must be their happiest day!

Celebrations for the Lees and Papees!

That is why media is all quiet!

No publicity! All so scared![/b][/color]

One less freedom fighter for us all...

[b]Our deepest condolences to all Oppostions, families of Sir Mr J B Jeyaretnam for having taking the trouble to fight for stupid Stinkaporeans!

Thank you and Sorry for all the trouble![/b]

[b]Still PAPees and their "hush hush rock -bye baby and their politics even upon his death"

TTSH authorities/Familees relatives mush have kept everything under guard and entire police force even WKS must be on guard at TTSH![/b]

My sincere and highest respect for Mr JBJ, who has taught what is democracy in Singapore...

Look out for some big shot who is going to say good words of JBJ and at the same time make damaging remarks about CSJ....

I really did not expect Mr JBJ to go so soon and unexpected....

[color=green][b]Ha!ha! LKY and Son flying off to Timbaktu or Middle East for all you know!

Their typical style!

Always run away and hide![/b][/color]

[b]Good people die w/o suffering and go fast!

The wicked suffer and linger bec they make others suffer!

The simple law of confucious -what you do unto others will happen to U!![/b]

Midstream through what would have continued to be a comfortable life, he changed course in search for fuller meaning and fulfilment in life, for fellow Singaporeans, and therefore too, for himself.

In the final reckoning, what really counts other than "the quality of life"?

Another, whom civilisations have hailed as God Incarnate, said "He who saves his life will lose it; he who is prepared to lose it will find it". Again, "Broad is the way that leads to destruction, while narrow is the way that leads to life, which only few will find". Then, also,in the last judgement, "the first shall be the last, the last shall be the first".

God bless his soul.

God bless his dear soul!

God bless his dear sons and family!

God bless all Oppositions in Singapore!

God protect us all from Tyranny!

[size=medium][color=maroon][b]AN END OF AN ERA! HAPPINESS FOR LKY![/b][/color][/size]

My condolences to the family and friends of the late Mr J B Jeyaratnam. He had spent his lifetime committed in fighting for fellow Singaporean to bring about justice to all of us against LKY until his last day.

To all his friends, please be strong.

Thank you SDP, for the news. You have shown the people that you are not bias.

So anyone knows where is his wake held?

He did not steal!

He did not cheat -like ex-NKF members/staff

He fought for Sinkaporeans against Papees' rubbish laws all his life!

I feel gladdened knowing that he achieved great things for Singaporean politics as well as left the scene a winner for having returned to law and political activism. He was working on causes for real change to the parliamentary system - on Oct 15 his case was to be heard in the high court in regards to bi-elections for the parliamentary seat left vacant since the passing of the minister from Jurong GRC.
True to the end, he was working to rehabilitate the system.
His inspiring words at the launch of the Reform Party this past June were "Walk with me, I may not have long to walk."
A great man no longer walks with us.
Should we not forget his legacy as well as the wheels he has set in motion.
Deepest condolences to his family and the people of Singapore.

Yes, kudos to JBJ. At least JBJ won an election fairly to become an MP and fought for the rights of all Singaporeans. He cleared his bankruptcy unlike CSJ and gang. He did not go go around the world to criticise Singapore.

Empty vessels and empty mouth pieces pls step one side. Start to give excuses when cannot even get elected by the people of Singapore.

JBJ, a hero till the end...

JBJ, his legend lives forever...

JBJ, an honorable man, no less...

JBJ, the echelon of righteous and embodiment of what make Singaporeans human...

JBJ, Joshua Benjamin Jeyaretnam, may had pass on into the next world, but his spirit, his words, his deeds and his greatness shall lives forever!

Rest in peace, my hero.

As I have said before rings even louder now.
Your freedoms and rights will not come when LKY dies, it will come when you help others who fight for you live!

[color=red][/color][size=large][/size]出師未捷身先死！
自古英雄多薄命，
不許人間見白頭！

I was sad to hear the news of his death, we have lost a good honourable man who has sacrificed himself without ever wanting to enrich himself or his family. The sadness turned to anger when I read the ST online article. This is what it had to say about a man who has just died.
He was unable to contest the 2006 general election after he was made bankrupt in 2001 for failing to pay $265,000 in defamation damages to then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong.

"He was unable to contest the 2006 general election after he was made bankrupt in 2001 for failing to pay $265,000 in defamation damages to then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong"
After losing his parliamentary seat in 1986 for making a false declaration of the WP accounts and being jailed for a month and fined $5,000, he spent most of the last two decades battling outside the legislature"
That brought him back into the House as a Non-Constituency MP, a brief tenure that ended in 2001, when he was declared a bankrupt for failing to pay after losing a defamation suit against five Indian PAP MPs, among others.
When he left his 30-year-long WP vehicle in that same year, after accusing his successor Low of not helping him clear his debts, he was effectively banished to the margins of the opposition scene here.
Yet, the old warhorse refuses to believe that he is irrelevant to Singaporean"

That's the eulogy by our MSM. I hope they all rot in hell when their time comes, starting with the old man who must smiling now.

May you rest in peace.

Farewell. Words cannot express the sorrow of your passing. The years you have fought for Singapore, for us.

Fare thee well. My good Sir.

In the deepest grief, few are the words needed to convey it.

R.I.P. J B Jeyaretnam.
You left behind a legacy which will never be forgotten.

Many admired your courage to say what was on your mind and in your heart.
I was one of them.

You left an undeniable mark of the human spirit on this tiny island, and to remember that would always bring a smile to anyones face in the darkest of hours.

My heart ached when I heard the news. Your courage, your steadfastness, and your gift to Singaporeans will always be in my heart and in my mind.

He was the first fighter I met. And he fought to the end.

He lived a life that is full. He fought all his life not for his own glory, but for all of us. I am sure he is now home to be with God.

He was a giant taking on a well-oiled and well-heeled machinery to speak up for the voiceless and the disempowered, and paying terribly for it. And though freedom, democracy, justice and equality are still not here yet, Singaporeans owe him a debt of gratitude for showing us the way to achieve them. I mourn his loss. He will always remain my inspiration on how to live honourably and courageously in a country ruled by fear.

This is a very sad day for Singapore...

lee kuan yew I'm very sure you're gonna be next...

I'm mourning the death of my hero right now but my wines & champagne are in standby position awaiting lee kuan yew going to hell

I thought that after all these years, I have been through enough adversaries and heard enough bad news until I am too numb to react to any more bad news. But when I received the news of his death, my heart sinks totally and it's still bleeding badly. I wanted to say "JBJ, rest in peace" but my mind is not at peace now as we have lost aman so well respected by all the oppositions.....

Allow me to take my hat off to a great politician who has passed away with his pride held high. He deserves all the accolades that go his way.

In his heyday, none of our current crop of government leaders is a fraction of a worthy match for his reverberating convictions. He has more principles and focus than the entire 82 PAP Members of Parliament combined, including one octogenarian who will not have the pleasure of seeing Mr. Jeyaretnam crawl on his bended knees to ask for mercy.

Mr. Jeyaretnam had shown iron-grit determination and courage even at the nadir of his existence. This great man did not need mercy, and will not ask for one. The never-say-die spirit he embodied will live on amongst the courageous. It is a gift which all Singaporeans, especially the members of the Opposition, should emulate in their long and laborious quest towards winning a lasting and substantial change for this country.

The esteemed gentleman is a legend, and his moral legacy will outlast that of undeserved pretenders. I pay my earnest respect to one of Singapore’s last true heroes.

No reason to grieve - part of him will always remain with us.

Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Sambuddhassa(3 times)

Idam me natinam hotu - sukhita hontu nataya (3 times)

No word can express the deep sacrifics you did for the people of Singapore. Wherever you are born may you have the opportunity to tread the noble path and free you from all suffering.

My condolences to JB Jeyaretnam's family.

He is a man that I respect in Singapore.

Rest In Peace JBJ.

My respect to JB. Even up to his final day, he still fighting with valour for his belief and for benefit of Singapore against the oppressive government.

His legacy and great works will always be forever remembered.

“Veteran opposition politician, Mr J.B. Jeyaretam, died of heart failure early on Tuesday morning. He was 82.

The pugnacious former head of the Workers’ Party, who recently formed the Reform Party, died at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, said his close friend and chairman of Mr Jeyaretnam’s new political party.

He leaves behind two sons, Kenneth and Philip.

He was the first opposition member to break the ruling People’s action Party’s grip on parliament 27 years ago.

He was unable to contest the 2006 general election after he was made bankrupt in 2001 for failing to pay $265,000 in defamation damages to then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong.

He was discharged from bankruptcy in May last year.

Mr Jeyaretnam made his final political comeback earlier this year.

He left the Workers’ Party after years at its helm and was succeeded by Mr Low Thia Khiang, who is now MP for Hougang.

When he broke the PAP’s 15-year monopoly of the Parliament in 1981, most of today’s young Singaporeans were not even born yet.

After losing his parliamentary seat in 1986 for making a false declaration of the WP accounts and being jailed for a month and fined $5,000, he spent most of the last two decades battling outside the legislature.

Of the five General Elections since then, he has contested only once, in 1997.

He finished as top loser through the bruising Cheng San GRC bout, earning a 45.2 per cent of the valid votes.

That brought him back into the House as a Non-Constituency MP, a brief tenure that ended in 2001, when he was declared a bankrupt for failing to pay after losing a defamation suit against five Indian PAP MPs, among others.

When he left his 30-year-long WP vehicle in that same year, after accusing his successor Low of not helping him clear his debts, he was effectively banished to the margins of the opposition scene here.

Yet, the old warhorse refuses to believe that he is irrelevant to Singaporeans.”

From bitch of ShittyTimes
“http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_284282.html”

========================================
I can’t farting believe it that a great man continue to be discredited and disrespected even after he died. A ShittyTimes that can’t even have compassionate and gracious, and look towards the goodness and contribution of a great opp party leader when it come to reporting of a great man of Singapore just because he is from opp party camp.

This is no way to disrespect a great man through negative reporting.
Now did anyone note that ShittyTimes can’t even dare print the name of the editor ?

Even in JB’s death, LKY still wouldn’t let JB die piecefully ? Retribution will come to LKY when he pass away. I’m sure we can do better than ShittyTimes when it comes to reporting on LKY’s final moment.

It is really sad to see an opposition member who fought so hard for the right of Singaporean to pass away suddenly. I hope the PAP will at least pay their respect by reporting good and powerful things he has done during his time.

I seriously hope that it is as well a reminder for LKY that his time will come just as well. I hope he remorses on his own actions against so many opposition members before it is too late.

Very sad he passed away, talked to him once at Raffles train station and also bought his book. He was a great man and never gave up fighting for the good cause. RIP JBJ.

He's one helluva freedom fighter... I can only hope the political landscape will truly change in Singapore. Lee basically scared of this guy so much that they bankrupt him.. R.I.P JB

may peace be with u JBJ freedom fighter

Today is a sad day for Singapore. I propose that we make him the official Father of Singapore Democracy.

Mr Palay,

Mr JBJ is the best rep of multi ethnic, multi culture Singapore. Though he did not speak a word of Chinese, he is widely respected by all, Ah Pek and etc..

You have met the fighter... I have noticed that you got the same quality as Mr JBJ. You should also represent all Singaporeans...

I will attend his funeral and my wife said that she will join me.

[quote]CNA reported that JBJ’s son, Kenneth Jeyaretnam saying that his father who had a pre-existing heart condition, had complained of breathing difficulties at about 1.30am. He was rushed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital but doctors were unable to revive him. He passed away with his family by his side. [/quote]

[b]So Sad! If he was a VVVIP w/monies he would have had 10 superscale drs by his side![/b]

[color=red][b]He could not be elected bec "they the FamiLees made it so!!!!"

They sued and sued and made him a bankrupt!

Like what they are doing to the Chees/SDP now!

Wake up Singaporeans![/b][/color]

I feel sadden by the news of his death. JBJ is the true Singapore hero.

I will mourn with his family, friends and supporters.

JBJ will always live in our hearts!

[b]SDP you have shown again and again that you are very gracious and respectable!

A good team player ; A good Opposition!

But pleeease watch out for the devils like PAPees![/b]

SDP you are very very pro!

Keep it up!

Are we allowed to visit the pay our last respects to the great man at Aljunied???

He liked us Singaporeans but not Papees!

A great Commando!

A great Man!

Even in death you show you are for the people!

We salute to you! We love you!

Who the f has been voting the comments down? The moles? The trolls? Give the politics a break alright. This thread is a place for people to read about the passing of a man who believed passionately in what he did. Take your thumbs down and shove them up your arse.

[b]I hope the devils will show some mercy and allow Gopalan Nair to show some respect to Mr Jeyeretnam at his wake!

Some graciousness ?????????????????????????????????????????????[/b]

Our deepest condolences to families of Mr J B Jeyaretnam!

He is a martyr for all of us. He inspires us a lot. His sprit will live forever among the democratic forces worldwide.

A KINDLY,JUST,AND BELOVED LEADER,WISE IN COUNSEL,RESOLUTE IN ACTION,COURAGEOUS UNTO DEATH. ( SERIOUSLY WOUNDED,HE REFUSED TO RELINQUISH HIS COMMAND UNTIL,MORTALLY WOUNDED,HE FELL, LEADING HIS COMRADES TO VICTORY. HIS LAST WORDS WERE, "TAKE CARE OF MY SINGAPORE..)

You fought against Fami-Lee for us, fought for what you believed in, right till your very last moment.

I wish you peace in the afterlife, peace that you never found. May the future Singaporean generation find the strength to bring an end to this corrupt regime.

Heaven is unfair. LKY for all his evil managed to live till now, while freedom fighter JBJ has to pass on.

May JBJ's soul torment LKY even in his afterlife.

JBJ was true to his principles, which he placed above personalities. He never mud-slung individuals in any party and neither should we who say we honour JBJ. He was tenancious and ferocious, but never vile. He championed a cause that was transcendent to him, and did it without compromising his values.

You fought a great fight, you are my inspiration, the voice of truth that can't be silence, Singapore loss a true blue freedom fighter, I hope your fighting spirit will influence and pass on to Ordinary Singaporean, without that spirit, we are nothing but a house of cards.
Rest in Peace JBJ, till we meet again.

A Great Man..He will be remember fondly for his contribution towards a more democratic SG..

R.I.P. Mr JBJ..

Let us continue the fight for you..

I remember Mr J B Jeyaratnam as a true warrior who fight for true democracy.

Fullest Respects to you. God Bless your soul and Rest in Peace

JBJ was the lion of Singapore politics. His legacy will never be forgotten. When all the dust has settled, and the smoke is cleared, he will be remembered as the pioneer of democracy in Singapore.

RIP Sir

He lived a fighter. He died a fighter. Let us carry on the fight he fought.

Salam Reformasi!

Mr JBJ has just discharged from bankruptcy after paying the PAP baboons.

Just when Mr JBJ working hard and gathers enough funds to free himself and about to fight the monkey familee, he is gone. How can we swallow this kind of fu**ing fate ?!!!!!!!
......and the fu**ing old fart is still alive, KNNCCB !!!!!

The ghost of Mr JBJ will come to haunt those bastards who make him a bankrupt.

I feel so sad, so bloody sad, so grief-striken about Mr JBJ's death.
No, I cannot accept his death!!!!

To me, Honorable Mr JBJ is still alive.

Happy must be God to call back to his fold such a great and rare soul as JBJ! And we weep at our mortal loss of...

A politician who cared for the common man at the expense of his own personal comfort.

One who sacrificed a lucrative civil service career to champion the cause of trampled Singaporeans.

One who weathered financial calamity and politicial tyranny and inspired others with hope for a free and truly democratic Singapore.

How many politicians in the Singapore Parliament would dare to walk in his shoes? NONE FOR MONEY IS THEIR GOD!

His life and legacy is UNFORGETTABLE.

As a young Singaporean, I will endeavour to teach my future children and grandchildren about this great man. History books and media may not tell but I will.

HE SHALL NOT DIE IN VAIN.

I am proud to have walked up to him during one of his many book sales and shook his hands.

RIP, JBJ!

As a Young Boy, I hear the name JB Jayeratnam, As a teenager, I saw Mr JB Jayeratnam, As an Adult, I vote for Mr JB Jayeratnam. Now that he is gone...... Sadness..... I don't see anymore of a 2nd Mr JB Jayeratnam fighting bread & butter for Singaporean..... Indeed sad, there is no replacement for Mr JB Rayeratnam. My Deepest Condolences............ Till we meet again, in HEAVEN.

I am very sad today, I'll remember forever what you had done for us in your whole Life, I will miss you till my last breath.

[b]Singapore had Lost A Great Son.
Singaporeans had Lost A Loving Father.[/b]

Please, Rest In Peace, God Bless Your Kindness.

Yours Sincerely,
Fong M.Y. And Family.

I am saddened by the passing of JBJ. He fought a good fight for democracy in Singapore. A real hero! He did not crawl on his kness to LKY to beg for mercy and he won! A man of character who paid dearly for what he believes in! My condolences to Kenneth and Philip.

JB a true and patriotic son of Singapore.

I will go to your wake to pay my respect. To show my appreciation to you. Once many years ago, I gave a lift to you when I saw you waiting for a cab. You asked me to find out more about the WP and engage with it. I told you that I was scared. You kept quiet thereafter and I knew I had disappointed you. At your wake, I will say sorry to you.

Now, I hope LKY feels that he has outlast everyone of his generation; and he has WON and he can now go!

Let him body & unconscious part of him, give up and go.

I will certainly go to LKY's wake. Not to pay respect to him BUT to make sure that he is really DEAD! I will curse him silently. I have no guts to say it loudly because you know how vindictive his dogs are!

JBJ, your name will remain in the annals of history, as a courageous and resolute man who fought for democracy in Singapore. We salute you.

I am very sad to hear the demise of a great man who is affectionately known as JBJ.

In fact, JBJ can be rightfully called the Father of Opposition politics as he paved the way for opposition members in Parliament. He also broke the dominance of the one-party rule which had become arrogant and out of tune of the common people. JBJ represented the common people and became the voice of the people and encouraged people to stand up for their rights as we are a democratic island state.

His grit, determination and courage to withstand all the obstacles and traps laid by the PAP by means of defamation suits and legal technicalities are truly remarkable. We can draw great lessons such as humility in politics and personal sacrifices for his beliefs from JBJ.

Thank you very much JBJ for your efforts and sacrifices you had made for us right up till the very end. You will never be forgotten and always be remembered for your contributions and sacrifices for the common people.

My sincere and deepest condolences to all the family members. JBJ is truly a wonderful and remarkable person. His place in Singapore’s history is indisputable. All of you can take pride of.


Rajah

A fighter who simply never gave up. He fought for what he had believed in. Truly admirable!

My condolences to his family and friends. A sad day for Singapore indeed.

Hi All,

A brave and tireless man for democracy has left us, to the home of God who we are sure will protect and guide him to another world.

Wished to show my condolences to his two bright sons who have been supporting his political-torn hero, who speaks for his people and challenge the "tyranic PAP" bullies. The ruling party has not changed our lives to the better but takes, sucks, taxed our hard earned monies; lost millions to the "Tamasekiii" led investment overseas. The financial turmoil recently in the States and world wide has unvealed this wrong deceisions made by this comogorate. It's our hard earned $$$, my dear fellow countrymen.

The loss of this great man who we supported every of your rallies during the election is a big blow to the freedom of Singapore. However, you will be remembered by us deep in the heart as a man of courage and rare to fight for every common citizen rights.

You will rest in peace as more educated and professional Singaporeans have heard you, have learned from you and the future young fighters will carry your works to make Singapore a fair judical place, to stay at least.

Be home, be with the Lord.

Rest in peace and you are always well remembered, by your sons and daughters of all Singaporeans.


Disappointed Citizen

There will never be another battle between LKY and JBJ for one is now in HEAVEN and the other is going straight to HELL ands soon!

till the day he died, he is fighting for our rights. Fellow citizens, how can we not carry on fighting what he left behind, to uphold justice, to fight corruption, to release usall, to free us from the iron fists of the LEEders. Remember today is the day we must be united and uphold the true democracy without hypocrisy.

There once was a man who declared with overweening pride that he would sooner be feared than loved for otherwise he would be 'nothing'.

Then again there once was a man of unflinching principle who took every unkind blow and stood with head held high, bloody but unbowed.

I know whose hand I would sooner take. I know who commands respect the most. I know which of these gentlemen counts for 'nothing', don't you?

Well done, Mr. J.B.Jeyaratnam, sir. You showed Singaporeans how to lead a life of great honour despite the most overwhelming odds.

So dear readers, do you see another brave, lonely figure standing tall and delivering his message unafraid of the jackals snarling at his feet? Do pause and reflect upon his courage, step forward and shake his hand lest one day you regret never having done so.

R.I.P. JBJ

You will never walk alone JBJ~
Be at Peace, dear Sir.


ahsayman and g_e: well said!

JBJ will be born again to take up the fight against PAPee!

We are no body, no money, no votes.. yet JBJ gave us his live, his LOVE.....

JBJ has no power, no high position, He did not give us upgrading.. He did not give Singapore bonus.... He did not give us anything... yet WE LOVE HIM....

Heaven is so fair. LKY for all his good managed to live till 85 now, while evil fighter JBJ has to pass on at 82.

May JBJ's soul be tormented in 18th level hell and in his afterlife.

JBJ is 82 and died, but LKY is 85 and alive.

God has made known to us that the real good man is LKY.

The Bible (and even Quran) is full of very rigid rules. Even God does not believe in democracy.

So wake up to God's verdict !!!

I have the book that you have written. I remembered I got it from you at Raffles Place. You work tirelessly to further the cause of us workers. I will read it in memory of you.

You are a giant of a man. A giant Singaporean.

a terrible loss to Singapore

My heart is grief-stricken this very minute I learnt of the death of my hero.I may be thousand of miles away from where his dead body lies but my many meetings with this truly great Opposition warrior flash vividly in my memories...and I know they will be with me forever and many others who know this hero.
I could recall the many occasions seeing him selling books at MRT stations
just to pay off his bankruptcy so that he could make a comeback in politics.His countless years of heartbreaking deprivation to bring about change in Singapore politics could be felt even by the most indifferent voters.His adversaries have all paled in comparison if not in shame.
JB Jeyaretnam or JBJ will always live in our hearts as an icon of Opposition Courage,Integrity and Persistence.
He is a legend...because a hero lives forever....

We will miss u Mr J.B.J...Ur spirit will live on in the courage u have given us ...the tyrant and his thugs are afraid now...we will get justice soon...Thank u for everything..May u rest in peace knowing that your life's work has been so meaningful for thousands of youths like me who are gonna drive the tyranny out of our nation...one that you helped to build.

J B Jeyaretnam ,tks u for what doing so much for singapore.

The MSM is absolutely DISGUSTING !!

They deliberately want Singaporeans to remember JBJ as a fraudster who was convicted for mis-stating party accounts and sued repeatedly for defamation !!

Please heed the call of the wayangparty to unite to counter the MSM's propaganda in cyberspace:

http://wayangparty.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/a-call-for-bloggers-to-preserve-the-legacy-of-jbj-in-cyberspace/

Netizens are all paying tribute to JBJ, not our of expectations of personal gains or "positions" and certainly not our of fear....what greater honour can a man have.

Rest in peace JBJ...yr struggles yr sufferings...yr sacrifices..will not go to waste...You may be gone, but never forgotten and appreciated.

He who wrote the above bears the dark aura of the PAP and stupidity. Do you not know that the universal saying is that the Good die Young? If age must come into play, the Older Fool's 85 years of sins shall form a bible worthy of Satan's eyes.

JBJ is a brave man who fought without wanting anything material in return. He does not venture into a task with monetary gains in mind; he does not draw distinctive lines between the different systems in Singapore, and does not utter nonsense such as calling his people "digits".

Pray tell, what other man is able to stand tall to fight for freedom not just for himself, his sons, but for the good of all the tamed sheep in SG? Bankruptcy failed to break him, adversaries failed to slaughter him.. he only gave up because his heart decided he needs a good long rest after all these hard work...

Leaving behind a legacy for Singaporeans who are enlightened and do not succumb to the carrot-dangling antics employed by a certain Family who knows this is the ONLY way to gain support.

Its up to us to finish up from where the Great and Noble JBJ left off. His spirit shall guide us through like a shining star, no matter where he is. RIP.

[quote=wayangparty]JBJ is dead. Now waiting for CSJ to go too.

Singapore will be rid of liars.[/quote]

how much are you monkeys paid to use different imitation monikers to mock sdp contents?

contrary to your sweet comment above, i beg to differ. Singapore should be rid of blind boot-lickers as yourself. Bark elsewhere.

JBJ,we singaporeans miss you.Its a very sad day.

JBJ was an outstanding fighter. His death is a great loss to us.

"Come, walk with me, let us walk together... for peace, justice, truth... fearing no one except God," he (Mr Jayaretnam) urged the gathering.

I would not be surprised that in future the PAP would ban all politicians in Singapore from using the words with religious overtone bec. it seems late Jayaretnam and Dr Chee (whom I believe respect Mr Jayaretnam very deeply as a friend) have been saying almost the same: "fear only GOD" which is very biblical. None in Singapore will then "fear" the god Lee Kuan Yew(with little "g")...as god LKY said and I paraphrase" "If people do not fear me, then I am meaningless".

Thus in future words or phrases which have religious overtone will not be allowed..these would be out-of-bound: "God, god, Allan, Tuhan, prophet, The 'Truth Shall Set You FREE'

It sounds silly but then think of the stupid "unjust laws" in Singapore.

1. Why a bankrupt is banned from standing for election?

2. Why if you are fined for more than $2,000 you are not allowed to stand for election? (correct me is I am wrong in this restriction).

If they ban criminals (blue or white collar) from standing for election or even voting then it make some sense. But why ban a bankrupt. One can go into bankruptcy for many reasons and some of them are not their doing entirely..like late Jaya and Dr. Chee.

These unjust laws or rules must be stopped or else they are being abused by the PAP..like the ISA and the huge defamation pay outs.

i would like to express my greatest sadness that a man who has done so much is fighting a dictator Lee Kuan Yew.uncle Jeyaratman,a man i respect for fighting human right and freedom for Singapore has Passed away is just a misfortune.has has not acheive to see his vision came through.i was expecting to hear Mrs Lee Kuan Yew to pass away,but it turn out to be him.Lee Kuan Yew has ruled Singapore with his iron hand.he think he is God.everyone must kow tow to him.singaporean live in fear of him.i have been praying hard that P.M. Lee will die of liver or Pancreatic cancer.i pray hard to end the Lee dynasty.this will liberate the people from a dictator.

PM Lee's condolence message sound so crude, while JBJ families are mourning for the loss, PM Lee shouldn't have written past comments on JBJ.. very insulting to JBJ's family. After all, it is for fellow Singaporeans to see the true colours of Lee's regime. The good ones always have to go first.. jia lat, we suffer! PAP gave S'poreans Growth Dividends, NS Allowance are all a whole bunch of bullshit craps.. to summarise, this is money politics!

Deepest condolences to his family.... Mr. Jeyaretnam's legacy will not be forgotten

Deepest Condolences, a sad sad day for Singapore... Mr. Jeyaretnam's legacy will never be forgotten

I wonder who are the people who are getting paid by someone else to keep posting negative things on this web site. Why do we see so many thumb downs on comments dedicated to JBJ?

I think people like that should go get a real job instead of doing negative things like this.

We wish to convey our Heartiest Condolence to the Last Hero.

Bannir

A brave man that fights for his ideals. I am sure he is in a better place now.

For good people, dead is not a big deal, it may be that he end up in a better place.

For bad people, like LKY, it is best that they stick around as long as possible. Else, not only will he end up in a worse place, so will those that he protects.

Thank you for everything, JB Jeyaratnam. You will forever live in our hearts.

Everything you did, was not in vain. You might not have overthrown Lee Kuan Yew, but your legacy created the birth of many other JBJ's to rise up to the occasion to take your place.

Rest In Peace

Just like the infamous Bidadari that once stood for departed souls, & become a heaven for all sort of wild lives & endangered species that you'd ever find in Singapore anymore, Mr. Jeyaretnam is now gone. I'm sure Apek is so thrilled to death, that he'd be tickled pink but this is all I can say for Apek & Sons..what goes around will come around to you as well. So long big guy..you're the true winner in the eyes of everyone in Singapore that fought like you including in Malaysia or even on this planet earth for that matter. In honour of your name that will shinning lights for many years to come, for the generation that'll will talk about you in no time soon. It doesn't matter if you were a Christian, Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist..you stood up to an evil empire for so many years, and we salute you Mr. Jeyaretnam. May god bless your soul & spirit..al-Fatihah Tuan Jeyaretnam, anda seorang yang masih dipercayai oleh semua lapisan masyarakat diSingapura, beribuan terima kasih dari kami.

Vincent, that is what happen when we have a government filled with too many loafers sitting on their asses collecting fat paychecks with nothing better to do but to "fix the opposition".

If those people had even 1/10 the capability of JBJ, then Mas Selemat would not had escaped among other cockups.

a true hero and his spirit for singapore will be always there

I wish i had a chance to thank him how much he did to change this country. But the government wrote him off and made him a bankrupt. I truly respect him from the bottom of my heart for a man who die fighting for his fellow singaporeans.

May Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him
May his soul rest in peace

May Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him
May his soul rest in peace

May Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him
May his soul rest in peace

虽然我们受中文教育，几十年来我们都一直把您当成我们的政治老师。

您为全新加坡人鞠躬尽瘁，死而后已。

人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青。

全新加坡人民敬挽。

heroes die, only villains are left to suffer

May his soul rest in peace......

Death is inevitable.....

Good bye. My fellow Singaporean.

You will not be forgotten. Unlike the other 85 year old - the old despot - people will fondly remember you and what you stood for. Thank you, sir, for all that you have done for Singapore and Singaporeans.

RIP, my fellow Singaporean.

He who suffers little pain and passes on is one who reaped good karma.

He who still struggles to torture the lot will reap bad karma. There will not be easy death for such a 'being'. Punishment awaits him, in every level of Hell. His decendents will also reap the bad karma that he commited. We shall all wait and see the karma takes its owner to task.

The sickest people really can be found under the comments section in this website blasting the government and making immatured statements.

Uneducated, crude and disillusioned lot. Go create a government you yearn for- In SIM city.

i saw him on tv 25 years ago in the parliament, arguing with LKY. I had not heard anyone who spoke as eloquently, and as factually as JB. I recall seeing LKY's neck veins popping out like they were gonna burst.

Though he's sued and fined to the extent of declaring bankruptcy, he never gave up his pursuit. Now here's a man who has "BALLS"!!!

Singapore has just lost a true patriot.

But alas, every election, the same people get voted in...

Mr. JBJ, I salute your indomitable and never-say-die fighting spirit until the very end for the political betterment of Singapore. You rightly deserve a worthy place in Singapore History. May you and your soul Rest In Peace.

[quote=God Save Singapore][quote=God Save Singapore]

.....
The Bible (and even Quran) is full of very rigid rules. Even God does not believe in democracy.

So wake up to God's verdict !!![/quote]

We have religion so that our lives would be much more meaningful and much more organised. So that we may not exploit fellow beings and that we may not subject them to slavery.

Atheist like LKY exploit fellow and subject them to modern form of slavery because they lack compassion and love.

People who believe in Unseen Being and retribution will be fearful of His Punishment and will never transgress the boundaries that has been set.

Democracy ensures that people are not exploited, not subjected to any form of slavery and not be fearful in speaking up their minds about injustice. Democracy is not just about voting but seeking the truth through rationale reasoning. It is about asking why, why and why the need for certain things.

And there is no contradictions in that with religion because as far as I know, as a Muslim, our religion demand us to enquire for the truth and forbids blind-following.

Maybe you followed the religion founded by LKY which tells you to "don't ask, just follow".

Salam Reformasi!

Though JBJ is in the opposing camps, condolences had poured in even from the PAP such as PM, SM, even Bala visited the wake.

This obviously shown JBJ is very much well loved and respected by Singapore and Singaporean. JBJ fought for Singaporean, loves Singaporean though he does not speak chinese. Even when he was bankupt, he continues legally to get himself off, start his legal practice, start a new REFORM PARTY, WITHOUT THE HELP OF FOREIGN DEMOCRACY!

Young SDP Members had a lot to learn from JBJ. Do it without foreigners, and get yourself elected to serve Singaporean, just as what JBJ had done. Don't do stupid things like PROTEST, BOYCOTT.

Critics of the late JBJ need to ask themselves just one simple question: Why did a bankrupt in his 80s make an attempt to discharge himself from bankruptcy? Ask any bankrupt who's in his 60s, 70s, whether he will pay off his bankruptcy debts worth $200,000+ and the answer is likely to be NO. Why not use the money for own's consumption - especially at such an age? Why then did Mr JBJ clear his debts? Only one answer - love for Singapore, and his desire to enter parliament to fight for all Singaporeans.

A real warrior!

you seem to lack intellectual insight thus these insulting verses.

Have you had a chance to watch JBJ fight for our justice? Have you met him in person and heard his words of wisdom?

No? What were you doing all these while, cowering at the feet of our profiteering government hoping that someday your children would enjoy their dictatorship , almost-monarchic rulership?

If this site offends you so much, why are you even here? Disrespecting a dead hero doesnt make you anyone worthy of respect as well.

Go collect your pay from the PAPsmears now and learn some respect, you uneducated, ignorant and disillusioned coward.

You have no right to comment against a man whose baby toe you arent worthy of kissing.

A hero

As I read through the remarks, everyone or the other send their condolences... singing his eulogy.

Stinkaporeans still silently support JBJ but majority would not come forward OPENLY to continue JBJ's legacy.

I hope that the Honourable man did not waste his TIME on Stinkaporeans who are ingrates.

All I can say is people..




With all my support, Dr Chee Soon Juan, you now know that you have to continue JBJ's legacy.


God be with you, both Jeya and CSJ. God be with you both.



Singapore is behind you. You know it and I know it.



We're waiting.

i salute you ,jbj

Rest in peace, JBJ! You were a real hero and a true fighter for your believes and democracy. I will always remember your brave resistance!

Mr JB Jeyaretnam is a great Singapore patriot. He has done more than most, sacrificed more than most and gained more respect than most.

May he rest in peace now.

Its really sad to know that you are gone but you will always live in our hearts.

You are a true patriot JBJ. May you rest in peace.

Even in a divine moment of grief, there is one elderly stateman, SM, who spoke with respect for Joshua. Alas! Is he the only one we have here? Nevermind, Joshua is a forgiving person. May his soul rest in peace!

he will be rememebered for a long long time.. so will LKY when he passes on.. and even Chiam See Tong..


BUT, i can guarantee one thing!! NOBODY will remember CSJ...Why? He ain't worth it..

Maybe, maybe someone will recall CSC.. you know, that busty babe.. yah.. the first woman fighter of freedom and justice..

i would like to say that now J.B. Jeyaretnam is gone,i hope that the S.D.P. will start something like bursary or a fund in his memory.he has taught us courage and even he has been punish by the government so much still he is not giving up but still fighting till his death.the prime minister in Singapore is the highest paid in the world.Lee Kuan Yew is so rich and he is not doing anything to help the poor.the prime minister and minister are very greedy.this man has fought till nothing.i hope that DR Chee Soon Juan and MS Chee will continue to protest and resist the government.be strong and show your courage.in Malaysia,people has learned to stand up for their rights.learn to tell the government that you are over paid.give your money back to the community.Singaporean's working class,are your pay increased?if the prime minister vote to have his pay increase,than you should demand that yours too increase.
