The best publicity you can get is by getting banned by the government of Singapore. Haha. Now all the more people want to see it. We want to see the "Uncensored" Videos that MDA does not want us to see. Machiam the videos like some hard core porn. "Uncensored" Leh. BANNED LEH. Hahaha. Comments are provided by the posters of the videos. With file sharing sites, abit hard to hide liao. hahahaa. Ban loh. It will just find its way out somehow. I watched both already. It's not something new what. I mean, everyone knows how heavy handed the PAP can be and how we have been living under the pretense of democracy. The videos just let you see it in action. I thought both videos were very very well done.
One Nation Under Lee touched on many subjects and encouraged Singaporeans to make the governement sit up by the means of Civil Disobedience. Basically, it means that don't obey certain laws or commands of the government without being violent lah. Mahatma Gandhi used it. Nelson Mandela used it. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr also used it. Now it's time for Singaporeans to stand up. Laws and unjust laws are also discussed in the video. Without spoiling it too much, watch the video for yourself and learn more about what is happening in our political climate.
Singapore Rebel shows the other face of Dr Chee Soon Juan. He's not all mad as we're used to seeing in the media. Yes yes, who can forget the "WHERE IS OUR MONEY MR GOH!?". Unorthodox methods and maybe abit rude I have to admit but does the ends justify the means? Did people sit up and watch? Poor Dr Chee, championing the rights of democracy but people think he is a fool. I never knew that citizens could not speak in public without a permit. Next time I go out pak tor, I better be careful.
"Eh dear, where to go after our movie ah?"
"Shhhhh, do you know you can be arrested for speaking in public without a permit?"
"Simi? What are you talking about?"
"You dunno meh, Dr Chee want to speak in public they send so many police to catch him"
"Wah lau, let's learn sign language!"
Ok, go watch Singapore Rebel. Don't talk already. Later kenna arrested under ISA your family also dunno what happen to you. Hahaha.
One Nation Under Lee
A 45 minute documentary on Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of modern Singapore and one of the world's remaining strongman. The film was seized by Government officials when it premiered at a private screening on 17th May 2008. Directed by Seelan Palay.
Singapore Rebel
This is the film Singapore's censorship board doesn't want people to see. It's the story of opposition politician Chee Soon Juan, who has been imprisoned twice for championing democratic change in the city state. The censors declared it a "party political film" and it was pulled from April 2005's Singapore International Film Festival line-up after the director was warned he could face two years in jail if the screening went ahead. Directed by Martyn See. 'Singapore Rebel' has been selected to premiere in two human rights film festivals this month. The inaugural New Zealand Human Rights Film Festival and the Amnesty International Film Festival (USA) will host a series of screenings in Auckland, Wellington and West Hollywood. Film-maker Martyn See will not attend the festivals. He is now under investigation by the Singapore police for "the making" of 'Singapore Rebel'
