When Harry Lee died


When Harry Lee died his neighbors from the north east cried and wished they had a leader much like him because he ushered progress by wielding an iron fist.

While we mourn his death and celebrate his achievements. Let us remember that Singapore's history cannot be simply reduced according to the account of its leader. Nor should we forget that this progress  also came at a significant cost for human rights...

It’s very dangerous to think that countries, especially those that that have little semblance with Singapore’s, size, geography, economy, ethnicities, and history, could benefit from a leader like Lee Kuan Yew.

Morality won't help her when she lies silent in a morgue

Jennifer is dead and the people won’t mourn her death. Because she was gay. Because she was a prostitute. Dead at the hands of a murderer.

At the end of the day what we can be said is that: Murder is wrong. Subjugating people for sexual gratification is wrong.

The tragedy in Jennifer’s death is that we live in a society where economic conditions force people to sell their bodies for money.

The injustice is that prostitution is reinforced and legitimized by Jennifer’s clientele.
