Petition for the immediate withdrawal of the Licensing Regime

Singapore's state controlled newspaper Straits Times of June 06, 2013 has the story "United World College halts intake of Singaporeans" See http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/united-world-college-halts-intake-singaporeans-20130606

United World College Singapore is a school run on the comprehensive school system in Britian staffed by expatriate teachers from Britian. Attending this school will facilitate entry to UK tertiary education, not to forget to mention the fact that the philosophy behind a British edcuation is to produce students capable of thinking independently and analytically. Such as producing more Gopalan Nairs. For instance a British schoolboy would be willing to say openly (and why not) that men should have freedom to speak and criticize, not something a Singaporean schoolboy would dare to do, after going through Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore schools.

It says
"The United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA) has told parents that it is no longer accepting applications from locals, as the number of Singaporeans in the college had "reached a significant level"."

Day by day ever more Singaporeans are trying to avoid sending their children to schools staffed by Singapore teachers of the Singapore government preferring Europeans and American.

In any case, a Singapore parent does not have a right to send his child to an expatriate school in the island. To do so, they have to get permission from the Singapore government which is always denied for locals; unless you happen to be Lee Kuan Yew’s grandson.

In this way every single Singaporean child is forced to go through Singapore government schools where their brains are subjected to a sort of bleaching, schools where they are taught to obey their teachers, do as they are told; stand up when you are told, sit down when you are told; and in effect simply be a robot to serve the Lee Kuan Yew government when they have finished with you. You then become a model Singapore citizen, one who does not go on strike, does not write blogs which Lee does not like and someone who does not end up as another troublemaker like Gopalan Nair, writing this.

Why is the Singapore government so determined to prevent parents from sending their children to schools of their choice, in this case, schools run by European or Americans. The answer is obvious.

Singapore teachers just like their parents have already been sufficiently brainwashed to comport to the Singapore way of thinking (quite obvious, because otherwise they would have been fired long ago) which is, just do as you’re told, obey the Lee Kuan Yew government, or otherwise Lee will get you.

So a pathetic miserable helpless child going through school taught by a bunch of these intimidated castrated, horse in blinkers souls, is not going to be any better than them when they have completed the program. In the end, at the other end of the assembly line, having drummed a mindless sense of conformism into their heads, the product you get is a robot; a human walking robot; exactly what Lee Kuan Yew and his government wants. The human product you get at the end is the average Singaporean you see today; a very bad specimen indeed; someone who is unable to realize that there is no need to live under any dictatorship least of all that of Lee Kuan Yew and son.

With more and more parents realizing that their minds and thought process has already been permanently damaged as a result of Lee Kuan Yew's brainwashing regimen of you listen to me or else style of life; they don't want the same to happen to their kids. An American or European teacher is unlike the Singaporean human robots. Being expatriates they are not afraid to speak their mind and naturally would encourage such confidence in their children too. And the end result, independent thinking human beings capable of deciding between good and bad without fearing for their lives.

If too many people have the ability to think independently with confidence, Lee is afraid his position will be threatened. Dictators around the world prefer unquestioning robots like Singaporeans are. More and more Singaporean parents are realizing the harm being done to their children’s brains and are trying to opt out.

The situation has reached a dangerous point for the Singaporean dictatorship. This case tells us that Singaporean parents simply do not want to educate their children through Singapore teachers. Since the government is denying them a right to choose the school of their choice for their children, it will only mean that even more families would send their children abroad and if this not possible, they would simply emigrate with their children.

This is a moment when this government which does not appear to have their heads squarely on their shoulders to read the message on the wall. The repressive measures; denying free speech and expression, denying the right to assembly, clamping down on the Internet, preventing speeches in public, dismissing judges who are not compliant, are all causing increasing numbers of families to simply leave the island, and if that is not possible, to educate them in foreign schools.

Singapore parents are desperately trying to keep their children from being brainwashed. Day by day it gets worse for the Singapore government. A good looking newspaper such as the Straits times does not impress anyone if all it has in its pages is just propaganda.

Singapore reels under the onslaught of its own people yearning freedom. Bringing in more Mandarin speaking Chinese nationals will not solve the problem,

enough is enough

Singapore’s Minister for Communication finding himself in a bind over his government's, (a one party police state) recent decision to silence the Internet to silence Singapore’s critics, now resorts to bald lies by claiming that, of all countries, the UK and New Zealand are doing the same!

Please see Singapore state controlled newspaper Straits Times article of June 05, 2013 "Singapore not alone in tweaking media laws: Yaacob Ibrahim". http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/singapore-not-alone-tweaking-media-laws-yaacob-ibrahim-20130605 (In desperation they have also tried to mislead the reader through language. What Singapore is doing is not "tweaking", it is "denying" freedom of expression)

This week, the Singapore government, realizing that the increasing resentment of their citizens, would, unless they took some drastic action, destroy them completely, have decided that Internet blogs who report primarily on Singapore and who receive hits not less than 50 a month will henceforth be required to be licensed and pay a bond of $50,000.00. Under this law, if the government or more accurately described as Orwell's Big Brother, tells the author to remove any blogs that Big Brother does not like he will have to do it instantly, not later than 24 hours or risk going to jail and losing $50,000.00!

And you will also see, in that truncated version of that article that, according to Ibrahim, New Zealand has recommended something or other and so have the UK on similar lines like Singapore. This is a shameless lie. The UK and New Zealand pride itself in being democracies whose right to freedom of speech and expression is an inherent and important part of their culture and ethos, a pillar of their country which they will protect with their lives.

Perhaps in Ibrahim's desperation, he may have got the countries wrong. Perhaps he wanted to say the Peoples Republic of Communist China have similar laws, not the UK and New Zealand. Better try next time, Ibrahim.

But one thing they forget to mention that the UK and New Zealand are not one party police state as his government. And neither do they have Constitutions which are totally ignored such as that of Singapore. And he also conveniently fails to mention that Englishmen and New Zealanders have some balls, unlike him and his Singaporean friends and they will not tolerate the slightest restriction on the right to free speech because they are simply proud of it and so is every single red blooded human being who cherishes freedom around the world.

Mr. Yaacob Ibrahim, a Malay Muslim and a very valuable lackey for his ethnic Chinese masters in the Singapore government should realize that Singaporeans are not as stupid as you think. They may not be prepared to do another Arab Spring on the Streets of Singapore but believe you me, they don't like the way you are treating them. And they can smell a lie when it happens as what you trying to do in this instance.

And the hypocrisy of this man is simply unbelievable. Here he is serving his master in Singapore the ethnic Chinese Lee Kuan Yew, who by the way has no respect whatsoever for his fellow Malays, coming up with this nonsense that both UK and New Zealand are now going to restrict freedom of speech, when his own wife and his children are all American citizen who living in America, a country which will protect their right to freedom of speech and expression with their last drop of blood.

It appears for Ibrahim that what is good for his wife and children is not necessarily good for Singaporeans who have to be content with something less. According to him, it appears that Americans, like his wife and children, are entitled to live like free men and women but his fellow Singaporeans have to accept something less. They have to be satisfied to live as coolies. They have to be stopped from speaking their minds.

His wife and his children want nothing to do with Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore, their state controlled propaganda and the drivel put out by this man and his master. Yet this man stays behind, leaving his American wife and his American citizen children behind in the USA, naturally because the several million dollars a year he earns in salaries (corruption to be more accurate) as Lee’s sidekick is sufficient for him to stay behind and look like a fool spouting these lies about the UK and New Zealand!

Increasing numbers of educated Singaporeans are already leaving for the West, parents are sending their children to the West for education with express instructions not to return, the women are not getting married and no children are being born. As for national service, the barracks are all empty and national servicemen are avoiding service by going abroad or they are all leaving the island after their 2 year stint.

Use your head, Yaacob Ibrahim. You are looking very stupid. These actions are hurting you and your million dollar salary as well as hurting your ethnic Chinese master whom you are serving. This lie, which Singaporeans are well aware of has only one consequence, it will alienate your people even more than they already are. And thank you for that.

Why does the government get to decide what can be said or not. If were up to the government I wouldn't even be able to say this.

Stop thinking you can fool Singaporeans like before..FINISH!!!KAPUT!!!We Singaporeans are more educated than you!!!in many sense ..DONT !!!DONT !!!underestimate what Singaporeans will do and can do at the 2016 elections to remove ANY TRAITORS!!!
