Weekly Roundup: Week 25

“.. [Lee Kuan Yew] made it known.. that Singapore regards the lands within 6000 miles radius of Singapore as its hinterland.. Of course this self-deluding perception places Singapore at the centre of a vast region. It is therefore the latter day Middle Kingdom. The rest are peripheral and are there to serve the interest of this somewhat tiny Middle Kingdom.”
Mahathir Mohamad

“I therefore urge the Media Development Authority of Singapore to look into the conduct of TOC’s moderators..”
Lionel De Souza

“Is the purpose of the law to perpetuate social norms, regardless of the harm that such a position may cause to the minority being persecuted, or is the purpose of the law to protect the freedoms of its people, so as to allow the maximum amount of individual freedom as long as it does not encroach onto the freedoms of others?”
laïcité

“..present policies which resemble using sledgehammers to pound on delicate issues [like the declining population] is certainly not the way to go.”
Ng E-Jay

“I state with a fair amount of confidence that there will no police intervention this time.”
Martyn See

“..even if [Singaporeans] are in a large open field, they will find their own tree and orbit around it.”
Peijing Teh

You Will Not Be Forgotten
Joshua Benjamin Jeyaretnam
5 Jan 1926 - 30 Sep 2008

For the sword outwears its sheath, and the soul wears out the breast. And the heart must pause to breathe, and love itself have rest.
