Dr Chee is building international support for his cause and apparently Dr Balaji of the PAP agrees that that is the right way to go:
He said ASEAN would do what it can to help Myanmar, but said
the whole international community has to make an effort to have any effect on the country's military government.

He agrees in principle that is the correct procedure with what Dr Chee has been doing all along.
You agree with Dr Balaji and Dr Chee Soon Juan that this is the right way to go?

So apparently this is international practice. That when you are dealing with despots, you seek international help to help make the despots come to their senses.Because that is his cause and not the collective cause of the entire nation.

Not believing in Chee doesn't mean that i absolutely support PAP. Agreeing with PAP doesn't mean i'm against the other opposition parties. I'm not an extremist.

If you can predict Singaporean's will so accurately, then we wouldn't even need an election, just ask you who should lead can liao.

Our elections are free. The fair part is a little debatable(why the gerrymandering and the need for GRCS etc) but those eligible to vote can vote for whoever they want. You cannot honestly believe the majority of Singaporean voters will vote for CSJ, or the SDP for that matter
Just look at how badly they did in the last 2 GEs compared to the WP for starters.
CSJ for PM? Please, he can't even get himself elected as an MPEdited by av98m 22 Oct `07, 5:41PM

Its the other way around.
The government as a whole, has been saying all along that ASEAN and the international community should deal with the Myanmar crisis. China and Japan are quite influential with the military junta. The government is also hopeful on the UN envoy Mr Ibrahim Gambari.
The government advice caution, as overnight turnover would mean Myanmar turning into turmoil.
Therefore it is CSJ, who agrees with the government Minister, if he say an international effort is required.

Free and Fair elections does not start and end with the GE.
Free and fair elections starts with the opposition having a voice to convince the people the advantage of supporting their positions.
Free and fair elections starts with the opposition being able to attract credible people without having these people persecuted by dishonorable despots.
Singapore has free and fair elections?
Don't make my toes laugh.
If Singapore has free and fair elections, these dishonorable despots would have been kicked out so fast, they do not have time to say "Dr Chee Soon Juan".Edited by AndrewPKYap 23 Oct `07, 6:12AM
