Historian Thum Ping Tjin ("PJ") explains how the People's Action Party in Singapore uses/abuses the concept of the "Rule of Law" to control all forms of political activity, by criminalising all behaviour but selectively investigating, harassing, and charging only its critics and opponents. Also, he tries to sell you some cologne.

PJ Thum has a unique way of criticising the Govt.He stands out as a brave man and not fearful of being prosecuted for stepping on the toes of the powerful Govt. Great.

SIngaporeans are not allowed to criticize the govt but foreigners can criticize and get away with it.

I think he is more than just a hateful government critic. His channel seems to be revolving around spreading certain ideals in the region (media freedom, lessening political control). Of course, the SG government happens to be in his crosshairs, hence this video. I would say he is more constructive and idealistic than we take him to be - destructive, pessimistic.

Dr Thum, thank you for sharing your knowledge. All laws can be repealed in Singapore. Since you are dead against many of the current laws, I strongly request that you form a political party, strong enough to command at least a simple majority in the legislative (our House of Parliament) so that all seemingly unjust laws can be repealed by your party and the seemingly just laws can be enacted by your party. As there are possibly 5 years to the next General Election, there is more than enough time to start all necessary political endeavours now. You have consistently made many Singaporeans believe and feel that Singapore needs brilliant people like you, so please help more Singaporeans by embarking this journey now, so that realisation of your vision of Singapore can be achieved in the next General Election! All the best, sir!

@@lamsunyong343: I choose to see that Dr Thum believes that Singapore needs brilliant Singaporeans like him to reverse the political climates in Singapore, which has been around for at least the past 55 years. Since he is “ferocious” in his critics of the PAP government, I hope he can really put words into actions to, at least, prove his worths to Singaporeans. Simply put, do not be like NATO.

Hahahahahaha...i have a friend in IT. He said that without a doubt the SG govt can find you through YT,FB, etc.... But its a long winded process that its not worth the process for the police. Im talking abt those who condemn the govt using a fake name. Unless you kill someone or did a major crime, the police cant be bothered. But they can find you if they want to - its just not worth to catch people like us who make fun of PAP and ridicule and condemn the authorities.

On the same day, Dr Thum posted on Facebook a photo of the meeting, adding that he urged the Malaysian premier to “take leadership in South-east Asia for the promotion of democracy, human rights, freedom of expression, and freedom of information”. The following day, on Malaysia’s independence day, Dr Thum wrote on Facebook: "Selamat Hari Merdeka to the people of the former Federation of Malaya! (and happy unofficial independence day to the people of Singapore!)" Read more at www.todayonline.com/singapore/i-love-my-country-im-not-traitor-thum-ping-tjin

Please do watch Episodes 2 and 3, where I argue that we cannot blame the 69.9% since the elections are deeply unfair. If you want to blame anyone, blame the people who created the system (the PAP), not the people who have next to no choice in how they vote! - PJ

Joshua Wong is not one that disagrees with the SG govt, as you have so easily put it. He is a social miscreant. If Loh Thia Khiang or Pritam Singh, who disagree with the govt, were to be featured on Skype in a closed door mtg, I'm pretty sure that's fine. You have a tendency to make sweeping assumptions. Btw did you and Sudhir Vadaketh go to the same acting school? The similarity in style and discourse is uncanny.

I'm a little confused as to why Mr Thum is focusing so much on Singapore. I'm sure he could be doing greater things like lobbying against the Rohingya crisis, the war in Yemen, global public health issues and (if it's about big government), media suppression in Eritrea. He could impact so many more lives, rather than the lives of a bunch of fairly unfit, money-minded Singaporeans who are in no danger of starvation or diseases. So why not take this energy and channel it to solve pertinent global crises?

if Osama bin Laden was still alive today, and was invited to a close door Skpe forum for SG audience, you'd probably take the govt to task for banning it. Bin Laden was fighting for his version of "freedom" too. SG govt not afraid to draw the line while risk being ridiculed by armchair critics.

Using USA as the yard stick, Singapore system is far more fair. Millions of eligible blacks are denied chance to vote by US government machinery. In Singapore everyone gets to vote. The fact that WP succeeded in Aljuneid shows the system is fair enough. But very few candidates are as good as Mr Low and Mr Chiam.
