We? Or them?
Was reading the 'States Times' today, and yes i'm sorry for introducing an article in which is a mirror image of a situation that we Singaporeans have to live with for the time being but i feel that this needs to be put into context.
As per the article labelled "Sept 11, 2005, Singapore hails Mubarak's win" one has to question whether its Singaporeans as a whole or the Lee Dynasty welcoming a President of a foreign country back into power, the fact of the matter is that the States Times had failed to present the fact that only a small percentage of the population actually bothered to vote.
Mubarak together with Singapore's Ruling PAP(People's Action Party) have enjoyed successive "re-elections" back into power, the key point is whether the elections are fair or "pre-planned" to entice a bias vote for one party to win.
Back to Singapore in general we never had any fair form of elections apart from the ones before we acheived independence, lets put it this way, the Lee Dynasty is probably congratulating the Egyptian President on being able to get re-elected in a atmosphere of a free-media and balanced reporting while any foreign media is suppressed from making any negative statements about the gahmen and the ruling party.
Lets stop saying "Singapore" congratulated him and just single out LHL+LKY and their cronies, the article should be Singapore's PAP congratulating him and not label Singapore, for the PAP is not Singapore.
