The likes of Tan Wah Piow and Juliet Chin are probably the last of real student activists who dared to take action against authorities, protests, demonstrations, sit-ins and boycotts. If leftists did not keep foreign capitalism in check, Singapore would have been taken over by American and British companies all over again like in colonial times.Chinese High Alumninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630638571713779149.post-67361751263415453302012-04-18T23:16:33.551+08:002012-04-18T23:16:33.551+08:00Can buy a copy of this about the Voice of Malayan ...Can buy a copy of this about the Voice of Malayan Revolution but quite expensive as with this type of scholar books.<br /><br />http://select-books.blogspot.com/2009/08/voice-of-malayan-revolution.htmlDavidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630638571713779149.post-56993617435457148202012-04-18T23:07:14.702+08:002012-04-18T23:07:14.702+08:00Tan Wah Piow skipped town to escape NS.

Singapore would be successful because of the hardworking people and the strategic geographical location.<br /><br />What's my point? <br />My point is rather simple. Singaporeans from 1950s to 1990s, and even up to now, are a generally docile and even unintelligent lot. Thanks to social upbringing or education system, we are not clever enough to step out and take charge of our lives. We have only ourselves to blame, even if the PAP does us in. <br />There is no other way.KAMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630638571713779149.post-89371665293297614562012-04-18T11:36:34.585+08:002012-04-18T11:36:34.585+08:00Interesting!
