Media Release

Singapore Democrats

The jailing of Dr Chee Soon Juan and Ms Chee Siok Chin for contempt-of-court has not come as a surprise to the leadership of the Singapore Democratic Party. On the contrary the SDP is resolved and determined more than ever before in its struggle to uphold the rights of our citizens, in particular the workers, the unemployed, the small-and-medium-sized businessmen and the poor.

SDP remains undaunted in its uncompromising position of speaking up for the people who are denied their Constitutional rights to freedoms of speech, assembly and expression.

The ever increasing cost of living, the humongous salaries for PAP ministers, the rising health care costs, the secrecy shrouding our CPF money, the influx of foreign workers, the mushrooming of ERP gantries, the obstinacy of GIC and Temasek in refusing to be accountable and transparent will continue to feature prominently in our struggle against the authoritarian regime.

The tyranny of PAP can imprison our bodies and put us out of action, but no force on earth could imprison our spirits that are the mirror reflection of the sentiments of the general populace whose needs are trampled underfoot by a system that exists for the rich and powerful.

Our activities and programmes will continue while Dr Chee, secretary-general of SDP and Ms Chee, a central executive committee member of the party remain incarcerated.

Well said and well done, Mr Ambalam. I know for certain that both Dr Chee and his sister entered the Queenstown Prison gates with their heads held high.Together with Gopalan Nair, there are now 3 Prisoners of conscience in Despot Lee Kuan Yew's prison.

The almighty God is surely looking after the welfare of both SDP leaders till they are released.

We shall overcome....we shall overcome one day!

Keep up the good work. Singapore and Singaporeans need the SDP to hold the Lee Kuan Yew dictatorship to accounts.

My wishes to all of you, and may you all have the strength to overcome all obstacles and tribulations.

I will continue to blog about the tough lives Singaporeans are having under poor government policies, and expose the side of the government that is not revealed in traditional media.

The late Mr David Marshall, Singapore's first chief minister had described the "media" in Singapore as "the running dogs and poor prostitutes of the PAP".

There is so many unjust in Singapore but no one to speak out for us. We need freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and a fair election now!!!!!!!!!

Sun 15 Jun 2008 6:54 AM | Bidadari - The light of democracy

Countless people had already sought the shores and to places where free democracy is practiced without any hesitation to creed, colour, religion or racial origins, and yet in the midst of an authoritarian regime that is totally engulfed with greediness..SDP is the only hope for true democracy to take root in Singapore. We thank from the bottom of hearts to all SDP members for their dedication and hard work..particularly our heartiest thankfulness goes to Dr. Chee & Ms. Chee. Long live SDP.
