https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/the-online-citizen-toc-foreign-interference-singapore-shanmugam-11940004 Shxt stirrers. Fair game. I suppose we have ppl all over with nothing between ears, 2 green eyes and itchy fingers on keyboards. Some paid somemore to create hatred and ill feelings towards govt of the day. So read and understand before being led by the noses. No perfect govt and no perfect policies that sit well with all. I have a simple gauge. Peaceful sleep, full stomach and no green eyes to envy those who have alot more than me and a heart to help within my means without blowing trumpets or letting anyone else know so that my rewards are heavenly, not earthly ones. Works for me. Not for everyone because we are not all fat, tall, thin, healthy, sick, idle, lazy etc etc. This type of topic always reminded me how once awhile ago, our pilots were planning a strike. Intelligent men and women with alot going for them. Led by a Malaysian chief pilot with secret exit plan to Australia with own family liao. Singaporeans? Haiz. So easy to manipulate. Just introduce a topic that's self centred and u will hear kpkb non-stop. And mind u, the sharing got alot of dragons, tigers and lions all in, only they the smartest and cleverest to think above the govt. Ask them go serve the ppl first, walau, no lah, wife dun allow, scare this scare that, or dun want lah, where got so free? Then? Talk still free regardless the passage of time. 😂😂😂i want a roof over our heads, clean water and food. Safety and security so that the weaker gender do not get raped for fun, guys not beaten up or robbed. Good secured job that may not allow me to have big cars or houses or fly here there for holidays. Medical facilities that's near and do not need me to watch the vulture alongside, waiting for my flesh as its meal. Sometimes i pity these shxt stirrers. They must really be very bankrupt inside and only drink jealousy when reading of citizens doing better than themselves elsewhere. They get satisfaction when they can poke and stir hatred or anger. Why do we let them? Just yada-ing Safe ride. Heavy rain east side where Changi is. Cheers

Hi, I wonder if it's only me but twice when I was travelling in the MCE (the stretch under Marina Barrage), my car suddenly applied the brake when approaching the 2 sections with the speed cams. First, my radar cruise control was activated, set to 80 km/h. Lane ahead was clear (and fortunately no cars behind me). But when I approach the 2 spots with the speed camera, my car brake momentary as if it detected a vehicle ahead. I cancelled cruise control in time to resume the drive. On the 2nd occasion, it just continued driving after a pre-collision alert "BRAKE" alert on the screen for 1 second, then cleared as if nothing happens. Does anyone face the same issue? I'm driving a 2018 Toyota Camry with Toyota Safety Sense.

Here we go again We are once again the convenient undisputed whipping boy near their GE time.... Wonder when Dr M's gona strike? Anyway what were our diplomats doing during the Bersih 3.0 demonstrations then? Eating popcorns by the side & cheering them on?

June 11, 2008 M'sia's Mahathir faces accusation of making threat against judges KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIAN lawyers demanded an investigation on Wednesday into a judge's claim that former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad once threatened to oust judges if he disagreed with their verdicts. High Court Judge Ian Chin's accusation provides fodder for opposition leaders who want the courts to review key verdicts stretching back more than a decade because they insist that government interference has tainted many decisions. Judge Chin told an open court Monday that Dr Mahathir - who led Malaysia between 1981 and 2003 - made a 'thinly veiled threat' to judges who attended a conference in 1997 that they could be removed 'if any judgment is to his dislike'. Dr Mahathir's aide, Sufi Yusoff, said the former leader would respond to the accusation 'in due time'. Bar Council President Ambiga Sreenevasan urged the government on Wednesday to conduct an immediate investigation, stressing that 'elements of interference have to be put down once and for all'. 'Clearly there are many things that plagued the judiciary,' she told The Associated Press. 'We have to ensure this interference in the judiciary never happens again.' Dr Mahathir has long been accused by opposition leaders of interfering in the courts. He dismissed or suspended several top judges for alleged misconduct in 1988 in what was widely considered a move to quash the independence of the judiciary. Judge Chin made his claim while presiding over an election dispute in eastern Sarawak state, saying he wanted to disclose details of his previous cases related to politics. Chin also alleged that judges were sent to a seminar in 1997 in 'an attempt to indoctrinate (them) to hold the view that the government interest (was) more important than all else when we are considering our judgment'. A panel set up by the government to investigate possible judicial corruption said last month that it believed that prominent government and judicial figures - including Dr Mahathir - may have been involved in a conspiracy to manipulate the appointment of top judges. The claims surfaced after the opposition released a video last September that showed a lawyer speaking on the phone to a former top judge in 2001 about fixing judges' promotions. Dr Mahathir last month challenged the government to charge him in court after the Cabinet told the Attorney General's office to investigate the video further. -- AP http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...82.html?vgnmr=1 The Storeyline June 11, 2008 M'sian judges allegedly sent to 'boot camp' for indoctrination KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIAN judges were sent to an indoctrination 'boot camp' to pressure them into making decisions that favoured the government, a senior judge said according to reports on Wednesday. In explosive allegations made in open court, Justice Ian Chin also said he was threatened by former premier Mahathir Mohamad over high-profile cases, one involving a close associate of the then-leader. 'Now, though he is no longer the prime minister and so no longer able to carry out his threat to remove judges, the coalition party that he led is still around,' he said. Justice Chin made the allegations, which were picked up by the national press on Wednesday, before hearing a dispute over results of March general elections in Sarawak state on Borneo island. He said he was targeted by Dr Mahathir after refusing to award 'astronomical' payouts in two libel cases in 1997, while a judge who agreed with the then-premier's views was promoted to the Federal Court. Afterwards, Justice Chin reportedly said he was packed off to a five-day boot camp with selected judges and judicial officers. It was without any doubt 'an attempt to indoctrinate those attending the boot camp to hold the view that the government interest as being more important than all else when we are considering our judgement', he said. Bar Council president Ambiga Sreenavasan called for an inquiry into the allegations, which she said were 'both startling and damning.' 'Judges, both present and past, must be encouraged to come forward and provide information on any such instances of interference so that further action may be taken,' she said. Dr Mahathir stood down in 2003 and his successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has been criticised for failing to carry out his promises to tackle corruption, which is deeply entrenched in politics and business. Justice Chin's allegations add to the pall cast over the country's judiciary by a recent royal commission into a sensational Dr Mahathir-era video clip that showed a top lawyer brokering judicial appointments with the help of politicians. The commission found in May that there was evidence of an 'insidious' conspiracy to influence the appointment of judges, and the government promised to investigate those implicated. Dr Mahathir has challenged the authorities to charge him. 'I want them to charge me in court. Only then will I have the opportunity to expose more conflicts faced by the judges, including those who have implicated me,' he said. -- AFP http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...ory_246665.html
