Singapore Democrats

 

SDP's Treasurer, Dr Vincent Wijeysingha, spoke at the 'The Young Guns Forum 2012' last week organised by the National University of Singapore Political Association. The other panel speakers were PAP's Mr Vikram Nair, NSP's Ms Nicole Seah, and WP's Mr Gerald Giam.

 

Dr Wijeysingha outlined the prerequisites of a progressive society which were based on "principal freedoms" that emerged from societal struggles in the past. Below is the full text of his speech.

2nd that.

 

Who wrote all our previous policies?

 

Heard his father was a well known judge and staunch supporter of the MIW...

he could have so easily been part of MIW if he didnt have his own thoughts...

 

these are the kind of ppl we respect...

they are not in it for the money...

they are in it with a thought for changes which even though right now we do not know if it will be a success.

 

i very much respect him.

Wished he was a minister instead of the "vivian"

"It was Winston Churchill who said that societies are judged on the basis of how the weakest are treated." compared it with our LKY system asking lower educated toi have less children, no min wage policies, 3 meals where rhetoric...

His father was not a judge right? He was principal of RI during my time.

 

 

Since SDP quoted the four freedoms, did anyone knew what it meant? I did not so I read up on it.

 

"In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression
