(1) Allowing activist Jolovan Wham; and historian Thum Ping Tjin - who sell Singapore Sovereignty out and champion Malaysia sovereignty over Singapore ---- is akin to fostering Joshua Wong of HK selling out HK Sovereignty.

(2) It also has the effect of sowing discord and unrest in Singapore to follow the footstep of HK.

(3) This nonsense "political dissent" forum ought to be stop - to prevent Singapore from following the footstep of HK.

"The project “does not critically engage"". Wrong. The project engages critically. That's why it is banned. If the project just took PAP's propaganda and repeated it, it would pass muster as an acceptable course equivalent to National Education.

University education is to educate youth to think and to train their minds so that they can discern for themselves and find solution in future. It just a week program and the NUS-Yale make it sound like the project will turn everyone to "terrorist".

As long as PAP is in power u all better be more carefully.
There is no such thing as freedom of speech.

LAB shouldn't have included the term "Dishonorable Son" in its curriculum. Bad mistake.

Yale-NUS consist of some of the best and brightest minds in Spore.

Their education is unlike NUS which is mass student programmes of standard education e.g. engineering etc, and does not expand or train the minds on such topics, t think critically.....

I think the programme is very good, but the people they got e.g. Thun Ping Tjin, Jolovan may not be so good.....

Perhaps they should have got the original politicians to speak for themselves instead of these middleman like Thun, Jolovan, etc

Glad it has happened. Why in the first place such a project was initiated to ape the American culture ? Who was responsible for such a backdoor initiative?

The westerners are primitive ideology mules, they can only think in black and white, pro-God or anti-God. Sadly, Singaporeans have gone through culture cleansing and have become shallow bananas.

We're like a computer hard disk that has been reformatted. And then being loaded with primitive 20th century western ideologies.

Ha ha ha!

If democracy is a river, then all the westerners are shallow river fish living in this river.

The Chinese culture is like an ocean, democracy are just on of the many rivers feeding into this mighty Chinese ocean. The Chinese are ocean fish.

Every time when you hear a Chinese said the Chinese have 5000 years of history, the person meant 5000 years of wisdom.

We have 75% Chinese in this country, but have been cleansed and become ideology mules. We are mules carrying load given to us by shallow angmohs.

Ha ha ha!
