Future Singaporeans will have to honour these heroes who stood firm on their principles. Remember to enshrine their names for posterity so that our posterity will understand the sacrifice such principles entail against all odds.

You are able to purchase the book online at http://www.gerakbudaya.com/products-page/sird-titles/the-fajar-generation-the-university-socialist-club-and-the-politics-of-postwar-malaya-and-singapore1/
a gathering of Old Sufferers who can do nothing to the KING !!
but write down their pains in a book..
Who will really be interested to read ??
Even their grandchildren will find them too ‘long breath’ and always talking about their past..
the point is, what can you do in the future ?
they lost in the political game and isn’t it too late to complain now..?
I think “Fajar Generation … ” may be available in some of the bookstores in Baishenglou aka Bras Brasah complex or even MPH in JB and KL if it isn’t available in MPH Sg.

Hey, old guy, go see this website and watch the video before you make any further comments on those ex-political detainees.

You need to get your perspective in order. And you should not treat their political cause as a “game”. Their contribution involved a great sacrifice on their part.
I think our readers and contributors should watch this video entitled “God of No Mercy” at the website contained in my earlier posting above.
We should all aim to post the youtube video of Dr Lim Hock Siew’s speech in as many places as possible. I find his speech very enlightening and inspirational.
Put it on your blog, msn, facebook and send emails with the link to as many people as possible.
Singapore deserves to know the truth.
LKY rode the Tiger and won.Had the TIGER WON “What Than”???I shudder at the thought looking at our neighbors.Funny though why the Chairman of Barisan was never locked up i.e. the other doctor Dr. Lee Siew Choh who join JBJ who also was never locked up.
Maybe this frail martyr or his supporters can provide an answer.
