Political Cleansing: Enema Of The State

I'm too swamped to blog - but I bring your attention to a couple of issues that have given me furrows in my brows of late.

Latest proceedings in Singapore Rebel case

It's not actually a joke, which is funny in a painful way.

  • Ridiculous questions that police asked Martyn See, maker of Singapore Rebel
  • Featured news on Martyn's blog


  • Going a few weeks back... (yes this is my catch-up on Singapore news backlog, having been caught up with the WYC at the time..)


    Singapore Presidential elections

    In the little red dot, there are no elections, only selections. (By the political elite pixies and fairy god mothers who will not sue me for defamation, and friends, of course)

  • TODAY 9 Aug: Battle begins early for Andrew Kuan
  • CNA 9 Aug: PM Lee emphasises importance of electing the right person as President
  • CNA 11 Aug: JTC says presidential hopeful Andrew Kuan's work unsatisfactory
  • Andrew Kuan: Enigma on Singapore Ink
  • Reuter's interview with Andrew Kuan on Singabloodypore
  • Presidential contest: Panic in the PAP? on Sintercom
  • Presidential contest: the end on Sintercom
  • Nation Master entry on Andrew Kuan
  • Asia Times 17 Aug Singapore tries to be naughty
    [Ed: this just added; an interesting article that might get the authoring journalist a defamation suit]


  • Technorati: , ,

    man, the questions that the police asked are seriously unnecessary.

    it really annoys me how in the public theres all this talk abot Spore opening up etc. and then
    the police do something like this.

    Anyway, i don't really think he pin too much hopes on getting his stuff back. Administration takes forever. ANd i've heard that the Police Force has more burecracy than the Army...(if that were humanely possible)

    It's precisely incidents like this that make me disbelieve Minilee's sincerity in liberalising Singapore.

    rench: fai tee. just kidding. really liked your post about your cousin, btw.

    jw: well, i suppose it really was more a case of, they've been like that all along and pollies' speeches haven't quite kicked into reality on the ground (yet - hopefully).

    akikonomu: i know what you mean. but it's ok, we will make it happen won't we. rabblerousers unite!
