The "Patriot"

His entries are sometimes thought-provoking, usually interesting and always strongly-worded. He used to be a Singaporean, stood for elections twice, and is now American. 

He clearly dislikes LKY, and pulls no punches with his comments and accusations.

Which is why i find it an interesting read sometimes, but this entry (Lee Kuan Yew "orders" Singaporeans to "fly the Singapore flag") simply repulses me.

太夸张了吧。。。

"Odd as it is for any government to go out and deliberately ask their citizens to do this, since this is always a personal choice and not legally mandatory; in Singapore it is even worse, since when the government puts out any "request" such as this in their state controlled media, it is usually not a "request", it is in fact an "order". " - Singapore Dissident, July 17

OK, i can't say if it's odd for governments to encourage citizens to fly the flag, since i've always been a Singaporean, but i've never found it odd though. In any case, REALLY, it's NOT an order. It IS a personal choice. Even here in Singapore.

 "Therefore, in Singapore, when you fly the national flag, you are showing your loyalty not to Singapore but to Lee Kuan Yew and his family for ruling over you."- Singapore Dissident, July 17

Ummm.... no lae, when i do fly the flag, i'm very sure i'm showing my loyalty to Singapore. 

"And what if you refused after this demand has been put out in the newspaper? Singapore being a country run on fear, that is fear of Lee Kuan Yew and what he will do to you if you oppose, the people fear government agents going around the island marking the names of those who do not fly the flag. Next thing, these "ungrateful citizens" may lose their jobs, they may lose their pensions, they may lose their career promotions, their children might be thrown out of schools, and a litany of misfortune may happen to them."- Singapore Dissident, July 17

He REALLY thinks that??

He's worse of a conspiracy theorist than me!!

But really la, 太夸张了吧!

"If there are those who despite these dangers still refuse to fly the Singapore national flag during national day celebrations, I would think you rightfully deserve the Victoria Cross or some other medal for bravery beyond that normally expected of a soldier in battle!"- Singapore Dissident, July 17

He can come to my block and distribute Victoria crosses like housing-agent flyers then. 

And to encourage Singaporeans NOT to fly the flag, and to leave Singapore... 

("If you are a thinking person within the island, take my advice. Get out of that island. It is a weird place."  in an earlier post, "Singapore - More Weird Laws), 

it makes me doubt his intentions. How does THAT help anything???

Haiz... sad. For all his intelligence, experiences, qualifications, "accolades", he's just a bitter and jaded man more concerned with a personal vendetta than with doing something for the country. 

Oh wait. It's not even his country anymore.
