What's all this focus on the U.S.? Lets talk about Singapore! ;) I'm writing my Congressman today and suggest to straighten out our problems in the U.S. all we need to do is enact Singapore-style democracy. I could get used to not questioning authori-tay...

Singaporefuckup.blogspot.com Amnesty International Report:
Amnesty International is the world's watcher on human rights. Is Singapore a paradise as touted by its state-controlled press and media, or is it actually hell marketed and packaged with clean streets and self-claiming "1st world living"?

The tell-tell sign of which is which is actually the world biggest salary demanded by the government for running one of the world's smallest country. The citizens have no say about the matter and have no alternative either.

Well, you can decide for yourself by reading the following report from the source:

Singapore: Text Book Example of Repressive State But We're Secure:

Singabloodypore- No Queers Allowed!:
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Rights
In October 2007 Singapore’s parliament rejected a proposal to repeal law 377A, which bans private and consensual sexual relations between men. Although prosecutions have been rare, those found in violation of law 377A can be jailed for up to two years on charges of “gross indecency.”

Amnesty International- The Press are just troublemakers:
“Laws that allow the authorities to impose restrictions on freedom of expression together with a pattern of politically motivated defamation suits, have created a climate of political intimidation and self-censorship in Singapore.” said Sam Zarifi, Amnesty International’s Asia Pacific Director. “This ruling further illustrates how press freedom is under threat in Singapore and sets a dangerous precedent for freedom of expression and journalism in the region.”

I asked Kelvin about Dr. Juan once, in a thread about Gitmo. Didn't get much of a response (go figure :eek )

Like Singapore's many cases against Dr. Chee Soon Juan, who's been on trial for everything from "speaking in public without a license" to "attempting to leave the country without a permit"?

I think what he was trying to prove was that as imperfect you make the US come off, the laws in Singapore seem a lot more oppressive, hell I'm surprised posting opinions on a public forum isnt against the law
