Goh Chok Tong: Longstanding Differences Contributed To Dispute, Not House, Money
ESM Goh Chok Tong said that the dispute over the Lee family home is only a fig leaf for the deep cracks within the family, He asked: “What then is the agenda of PM’s accusers? Are they whistleblowing in a noble effort to save Singapore, or waging a personal vendetta without any care for the damage done to Singapore? I have kept my ears open. From what Lee Hsien Yang and his wife are freely telling many others, it is clear that their goal is to bring Lee Hsien Loong down as PM, regardless of the huge collateral damage suffered by the Government and Singaporeans.”
It is now no more a cynical parlour game. If the Lee siblings choose to squander the good name and legacy of Lee Kuan Yew, and tear their relationship apart, it is tragic but a private family affair. But if in the process of their self-destruction, they destroy Singapore too, that is a public affair.
Unsubstantiated accusations have been dished out on Facebook and the media, ad nauseam. Singaporeans are getting sick and tired of all this. We cannot, and will not, allow ourselves to be manipulated as pawns.
There must be a clear conclusion at the end of this debate. Either we clear PM over the allegation on his abuse of power or we censure him.

“Jubah Sado” Dah Basi, “Jubah Mermaid” Is In
Jika tahun lalu kita dikejutkan dengan “Jubah Sado” dan juga “kurta lelaki seperti baju kurung wanita”, tahun ini satu lagi pakaian Hari Raya mungkin menarik perhatian anda!
Nama jubah terbaru ini ialah “Jubah Ala Duyung”! Ia sedang viral di laman media sosial dan dipakai seorang lelaki yang hanya dikenali sebagai Alif. Jubah Duyung ini bagaimanapun menerima kritikan hebat para netizen.
Ramai juga yang memberikan komen lucu, seperti: “Alahai, kain dia lagi lentik daripada kain saya!”
Namun yang memberikan kata-kata kesat juga tidak kurang hebatnya.
Menyusuli kejadian itu, laporan mStar Online menyatakan Alif memutuskan untuk bersikap mengalah dan menukar enam lagi jubah yang ditempahnya kepada potongan biasa.
Ini selepas beliau mengambil kira teguran positif dan nasihat anggota keluarga dan juga orang ramai.
“Tidak sangka jubah yang dipakai semasa raya itu menjadi viral di media sosial sehingga saya dikecam.
“Ada enam lagi jubah yang dihantar untuk dijahit tetapi belum siap, jadi saya akan minta pereka untuk menukarnya kepada potongan biasa selepas menerima teguran positif dan mengelak saya terus dikecam,” katanya kepada mStar Online.
KATA-KATA KESAT DILEMPARKAN KEPADA ANGGOTA KELUARGA JUGA

Selepas gambar “Jubah Ala Duyung” beliau menjadi viral, Alif menerima kecaman netizen yang keterlaluan sehingga mengaitkan keluarganya.
“Isu jubah ini adalah masalah saya sendiri, tapi ada yang keterlaluan mengatakan saya kurang didikan agama daripada keluarga. Malah, lebih buruk ada yang menyamakan saya dengan haiwan. Bagaimana perasaan keluarga saya?
“Kalau nak tegur, buatlah secara baik. Jangan sampai mengaitkan keluarga saya dengan kata-kata yang buruk,” kata anak bongsu daripada 10 adik-beradik ini, sebagaimana ditukil mStar.
Alif juga memberitahu bahawa sejak itu ramai melabelkannya dengan pelbagai gelaran termasuk lelaki lembut dan transgender.
“Saya akur berperwatakan lembut tetapi saya tidak berpakaian wanita. Saya masih bekerja dan berpakaian seperti lelaki.
“Saya bukanlah manusia yang sempurna, saya masih lagi memperbaiki diri. Anda semua di luar sana, doakan saya yang baik-baik saja,” jelas beliau lagi dalam laporan mStar Online itu.

Lee Hsien Loong’s Refusal To Sue Siblings Confirmed That Elites And Normal Singaporeans Treated Differently
My comment posted on Tharman’s Facebook:
I feel sad that we have now confirmed that there are two sets of laws for Singaporeans – one set for the elite and connected, and another for the ordinary Singaporean.
LHY and LWL are allowed to cast all sorts of aspersions at the PM, our public servants and public institutions.
These are not one-off allegations.
They are serious and numerous allegations, made in a sustained manner over more than 2 weeks.
Yet, we are today given flimsy excuses why legal action will not be taken against them.
On the other hand, less powerful or connected Singaporeans are subjected to the law of defamation, lawsuit issued in an instance and some are bankrupted or have run away from Singapore in fear.
As the NMPs asked in Parliament, and I paraphrase: how do you explain, Mr Tharman, this double standards?
You said a few days ago to Singaporeans, “Have confidence, folks.”
Perhaps you should try on the shoes of those who have been sued, bankrupted or gone into exile.
As one who supports you being PM, I am disappointed at your nonchalance in this saga.
