  • Contribute To The Efforts By Dominique Lee’s Family To Search For Justice

    Contribute To The Efforts By Dominique Lee’s Family To Search For Justice

    Hey guys,

    We heard from Dom’s family that they intend to go ahead with the appeal in order to seek justice and equality for Dom and all other past, present and future NSFs and men. However, they only have until 2 April to lodge the appeal, which requires a security deposit of $60,000, excluding the legal costs. This is not a small sum and all we want to do is to help out as much as we can.

    We have all been touched by Dom one way or another. This is an opportunity for us to return the love and kindness he had shown us over the years. Let’s give his family all the support we can, by helping them come up with the security deposit. We not only want to collect enough funds for the deposit, but also to garner enough support to show Dom’s family that even if MINDEF or SAF do not care, the rest of us Singaporeans do. Let us show them that there are enough of us Singaporeans who want them to be accountable for the safety and lives of our brothers.

    In the event we are able to raise more than $60,000, the excess will be use to cover the legal cost of the family, or donated to a charity of their choice. Let’s do our part to take care of one of our own. Please also help to share this on your Facebook page. Thank you.

    – Xian Wen

  • Goh Meng Seng: Singaporeans Are Self-Centred, Fairness And Social Justice Unimportant To Them

    Goh Meng Seng: Singaporeans Are Self-Centred, Fairness And Social Justice Unimportant To Them

    I have met quite a number of Singaporean friends in Hong Kong recently and we naturally talked about the results of last GE2015.

    Part of the observations made are as follows:

    Most Singaporeans don’t put much emphasis on fairness and justice. Most of the time they know with PAP as Government, there are gross injustice and unfair happenings but to them, these are non-issue to them as long as they are not affected by it.

    They would continue to vote PAP even though they know PAP is not exactly a party that uphold fair play and even justice in every sense, as long as they continue to enjoy their own good life. It would be even better if they are given handouts directly, care less about fair or not unfair.

    Most Singaporeans are more self centred and only concerned about their own self interests. Social issues, balance and justice are basically non of their business.

    Even when they chose to swing against PAP is Purely because they are unhappy that their pockets are hurt or interests have been overlooked.

    That is why not many people attend any protests that raise social issues or even important issues but have DISTANT IMPLICATIONS on their self interests.

    What do you think?
