Chee Soon Juan, secretary general of the Singapore Democratic Party, posted a message to President Obama on YouTube, talking about political repression in Singapore being no less severe than in Burma. He also said that he has confidence that the US with Hilary Clinton as its new Secretary of State would pay more attention to the human rights abuses of the Singapore government. The video also shows some shots of Singaporeans living in cardboard boxes and he compared the poverty of these Singaporeans to the wealth of the Prime Minister who is paid 6 times what President Obama is getting.
I wonder how the PAP government is going to respond to this latest antic of Mr. Chee. Another lawsuit? What do you guys think?

Ding Sen, you from MSHS?
ah yes i forgot my class
Thanks Ding Sen! & yah keep the comments coming :)
Somehow, I do feel that what he is saying is not 100% wrong and that the Singapore government might just want to put a little more attention towards the well-fare of our very own pioneers and the ones who directly or indirectly contributed to the rise of this little island we now call home. If not, I do believe Singapore will face much more problems than just an aging population.
