Own goal? Ownself sabo ownself?
PM and the PAP have been pummelled in recent weeks about ministers pay (When being a minister turns from a calling into a job for life),PM’s call to eat below S$3 meals and other frugality tips which show how out touch he is with the lives of those not “Crazy Rich Asians” (Shumething PM left out in NDR speech/ Reason why?) and on HDB flat “is not my HDB flat” (Exposed: Flaws in PM’s HDB spin)
So what do Tan Wah Piow, PJ Thum, Kirsten Han, Sonny Liew and Jolovan Wham, all prominent PAP haters and anti-PAP activists do?
They met Tun M and invited him (he’s accepted) to talk about democracy. WTF!
What were Tan Wah Piow, PJ Thum, Kirsten Han, Sonny Liew and Jolovan Wham thinking of when they made the decision to meet (And ask him to talk about democracy: he knows more about locking up and beat up people LOL. Ask Anwar.) someone who hates the very existence of S’pore as an independent state? Remember, he criticised Tunku for kicking us out of M’sia. He wanted Tunku to send in the army and arrest the leaders we elected.
Do read this: damned good article by the gal I love to make fun of: https://www.kirstenhan.com/blog/2018/8/30/80-minutes-with-dr-m
She should stick to reporting, not trying to a pseudo-intellectual justifying all ang moh progressive ideas.

They are giving the PAP the opportunity to change the topic to “Who do you trust? PAP? Or Tun lovers, quislings, fifth columnists or their allies, fellow travellers or useful idiots?
The S’poreans that can be flipped (Why many PAP voters are ready to be flipped) may not be happy with the PAP, but they sure don’t like Tun: forever KPKBing about the supply of water to S’pore and who once threatened to cut off our water supply. And they know he has a problem with S’poreans, not juz the PAP. In his writings, he’s called us a few unfriendly names. It seems that when he was a medical student here, he was treated as an arrogant, obnoxious country bumpkin even by the local Malay elite. The memory must still rankle.
The PAP will use the meeting to tar all those opposed to PAP hegemony with the brush of “quisling” or “fifth columnist” or their allies, fellow travellers or useful idiots: some tar will stick.
PAP must be very happy that they can use this incident to discredit all anti-PAP and civil society activists, and critics of the way the PAP does things and thinks: “They are Tun lovers, quislings, fifth columnists, or their allies, fellow travellers or useful idiots.”
With enemies like the now Infamous 5 the PAP has nothing to worry about.
I’m not the only one concerned. Even anti-PAP Terry’s Online Channel is concerned:
As for Singaporeans, what are to make of all this?
We have to remember that Dr Mahathir has never been a fan of Singapore. Some would say he has had an axe to grind with the Singapore government, not the people of Singapore.
That may well be the case. But it not easy to separate one from the other.
In a nutshell, the well-being of Singaporeans cannot be uppermost in the mind of Dr Mahathir.”
Even regular TOC readers are KPKBing about the Infamous 5’s antics. Example
Singaporeans and the opposition parties should be warned not to get cozy with Dr M and the Malaysian politicians. It’s prudent to keep them at one arm’s length. We know we must be brave and decisive in the next GE, but pls leave msia out of our country’s politics. Never forget the bitter lessons we learnt from history. We are a tiny vulnerable nation in relative terms to our closest big neighbours. I will shun the opposition IF our they cowered to the malaysian politicians. In the battle against the mighty ruling party, bringing in a ‘big brother’ as a backing (?) is PLAYING WITH FIRE. This is not a strategy, it is suicide for the opposition and will open the floodgates to foreign intervention in our country.
Did Tan Wah Piow, PJ Thum, Kirsten Han, Sonny Liew and Jolovan Wham think of the implications of anti-PAP activists meeting someone who hates the very existence of S’pore as an independent state? Someone forever KPKBing about the supply of water to S’pore and who once threatened to cut off our water supply.
Tan Wah Piow, PJ Thum, Kirsten Han, Sonny Liew and Jolovan Wham are the useful idiots (of the PAP), quislings or fifth columnists that all those of us who oppose PAP hegemony should be wary of.
What do you think?
FYI, more on Tun M
One reason Tun wants to cause trouble with us on HSR

also, left-wing brit media is cheering on the above “f-5” .
According to Han’s latest post, only the Tan Wah Piow, PJ Thum and the Msian activist wanted Dr M to promote democracy, and that only Tan Wah Piow and the Msian activist belong to the group organising the democracy conference. The rest got nothing to do with it.
I do agree Dr M is an absurd choice to promote democracy, and that the PAP loves to paint with a broad brush, but we dun have to stoop to the level of PAP.
It’s like saying vivian endorse and legitismise kim jong un’s rule of NK just because he took a selfie with the dictator. Perhaps they should’ve thought about the bad look with meeting with Dr M and could have been more careful and not appear so enamored with Dr M after the meeting, the onus is on those who have the guilt by association mindset to ditch it, and not the ones who may be caught up by it to isolate themselves to avoid being caught up by it.
