 (Updated: )

Member of Parliament (MP) Seah Kian Peng on Saturday (Sep 1) said it was "quite clear" that Thum Ping Tjin "does not wish Singapore well".
In his Facebook post, Mr Seah added that he was "amazed that Dr Thum and his supporters should proclaim that Singapore is part of Malaysia (or Malaya)".

Mr Seah was referring to a Facebook post Dr Thum made on Friday, which appeared to suggest that Singaporeans should celebrate Malaysia's independence day.
"Selamat Hari Merdeka to the people of the former Federation of Malaya!(and happy unofficial independence day to the people of Singapore!)," Dr Thum wrote in the post.

Is this Thum Ping Tjin still holding Singaporean citizenship?

If yes, he is a traitor - and he seems to have committed treason.

This go for the same as Teo Soh Lung.

During the meeting, Dr Thum urged Dr Mahathir to "take the lead in lobbying for the promotion of democracy and freedom of expression and inquiry in Southeast Asia".
He subsequently made the following remarks: “I felt Malaysia is in a unique opportunity to really be a beacon of democracy in the region."
Tan added: "Personally, I am very grateful for this open, democratic space that Tun Mahathir’s government has opened and it’s a beacon for many who are struggling for democracy. Not just in Singapore but in other parts of Southeast Asia.”
“I think (Singapore) will be very concerned, not because I met with Dr Mahathir, but the fact that the prime minister is prepared to share his views about democracy and to enhance the development of democracy in the region.

This political activists Teo Soh Lung, Dr Thum, along with Tan Wah Piow, author Sonny Liew, as well as activists Kirsten Han and Jolovan Wham - are actively instigating and provoking this Dr M - to export "democracy" to all South East Asian Countries.

Government of SE Asian Countries should take note of these poitical activists political ambition and their motivation - as well as Dr M's role.

Tokay OH - Singapore Sovereignty and Singapore future should be determine by Singaporeans.

Our interests should not be put in the hands of foreigners - and all the more a foreign PM who has not at the best intention for Singapore.

Singaporeans must close rank to prevent such foreign intervention and worst brought about by traitors.

Because if Singaporeans don't close rank - we will fall and fail --- this is exactly what this old man and these traitors want to see.

The five patriotic Singaporeans find it their mission to make Singapore a freer society and liberate the many Singaporeans who are struggling with democracy under a govt who were voted in by 70% of the population. Their hero and idol now is the old diehard exPM who created the corrupt BN but now has to do a comeback to destroy it with the help of a fragile coliation with the oppositions. And the people are so happy and proud that Dr M has delivered a second Independence day to a broken Malaysia instead of a boleh Malaysia. Just as reported in the Malaysia Chronicle, IF ONLY DR M HAD SEEN THE WISDOM OF TUNKU’S ‘LIVE & LET LIVE’ EARLIER, PERHAPS MALAYSIA COULD HAVE BEEN SPARED THE LONG & CIRCUITOUS ROUTE TO ITS ‘SECOND INDEPENDENCE’ TODAY. What goes around, comes around.

Now these five patriots, after hearing Dr M said Singapore must be tired of same old government, are telling Singaporeans to mimic our northern neighbour..

Actually what has this Dr M done that has make Malaysia a success - that need Singapore to emulate Malaysia?

Malaysia is now full of failing examples - there is nothing for Singapore to emulate or for other South East Asian Countries to emulate.

In fact this poor Dr M have to go to Indonesia, Japan and China to beg for help in building a car industry for Malaysia.

Got 28 fighter planes that cannot fly - only 4 can fly but don't know can fight or not.
Submarines cannot sail.
Debt, scandals all over the place - and have to beg China and Singapore to have mercy to cancel or defer big projects - because no money.

What are all these goondos expect Singapore and SE Asian Countries - to follow this old man examples?

Really a mockery of democracy - to emulate the failure.

i am a msian who understood what is malay chauvinism since i was 9 years old. when kids quarrel, and if they happen to be between a malay and a non malay .. it almost always descend into shouts of go back to china, go back to india, and go back to the kampung.

these singaporeans are real dumbfucks who may be educated but are truly dumb, and obviously sly. every honest person can see he is still a malay chauvinist who is only interested in championing for the malays. the non malays have always been 'they' and 'the others'. i believe these traitors know .. but sleeping with the enemy is nothing to them. shameful!

There is 1 event in 1957 that malaysia got indepence and Singapore on 31 Aug, but its still malaya and not malaysia

Then another event in 1963 31 aug that singapore join malaya together with sabah and sarawak and become malaysia that away from british rule.

Then 1965 we out on 9 aug totally independent

I think Dr Thum is not exactly wrong as 31 aug is first step towards total independence

Ricky Lim no one said to emulate Malaysia, those five are simply asking Malaysia after defeating BN to spread democracy to SEA. Also, what is wrong with Singaporeans wishing our neighbours “happy merdeka day”? That was exactly what I did for my friends there. I strongly feel that there should be more democracy and freedom here and that with the current PAP, Singapore is getting very claustrophobic and heading in the wrong direction.

It is all about the following simple fact :-
(1) Dr M - has no good intention about Singapore nor do he want Singapore to do well.
a. He keep harping about revising water prices - that is enshrine in agreement that he cannot do so.

(2) Dr M - want to U turn all international sign agreement - such as HSR that will cause us to incur loss.

(3) Dr M - want to propose a new link to Pulau Ubin - with no economic values to us - but cause us to incur unnecessary expenses.

(4) Dr M - has say that Singapore should emulate him to overturn the Government.

(5) In the past, Dr M - has threaten to cut our water supply and many unhappy events that threaten our survival and well beings.

And all these misgiving Singaporeans - are trying to say that "Singapore is part of Malaysia" --- which in effect give this Dr M bullets to bring harm to Singapore, Singaporeans and Singaporean interests.

Based on your comments plus some in this board supporting both Dr M and these few Singaporeans actions --- are you supporting what they are doing to harm Singapore and Singaporean's interests ?

Singapore is a good host, able to resolve disputes with good win-win solutions - and can establish trust in all member states.

Thus, will be able to achieve many breakthrough and hopefully bring conclusion to the RCEP - to cushion against the negative impact of Trump's trade war.

By Nov we hope the RCEP would be signed off by the participating blocs that value free trade to dispel Mike Pence the opportunity to voice out US vision of a "free and open Indo-Pacific". That way, it will show truly the joint effort and determination of fostering a truly open trade platform in this part of the region, with the absence of USA.
Pence vision means "free" = free navigation of US naval vessels in SCS without being interference. "open" = Blocs must open their doors to allow its vessel to dock whenever and however it demanded for, yet be open to buy more US military hardware to safeguard themselves.

RCEP (Asia Pacific) is a US$23.8 trillion GDP market.
EU US$22 trillion GDP (PPP) or US$19.7 trillion GDP (Nominal).
US$19 trillion GDP market.

Asia Pacific - Total Wealth is $80 trillion.
EU - Total Wealth is $79 trillion.
US - Total Wealth is $93 trillion.

Asia Pacific Economies from the below is definitely a "crowd puller" :-
(1) China
(2) Japan
(3) India
(4) ASEAN
(5) S Korea
(6) Australia
(7) The rest of Asia Pacific Countries
--- are all vibrant Economies, trading Countries that will rival US in trade, business and investment.

Thus the signing of RCEP by year end - will certainly boost Asia Pacific trade, business and investment - as well as business travel within Asia Pacific --- and neutralise Trump's trade war.

So with airforce neutralise, multi-rocket launcher missiles neutralise - artillery piece will also be ineffective, because our radar will be able to pick up any arty fire - and direct our surface to surface missile to arty batteries and neutralise them as well.

This is the power of our integrated Combined Arms.

Singaporeans should be proud of RSAF ,when u look at neighbouring country it's defence minister admitted only 4 fighters can fly but then it is not known if they can carry out mission assign. If Trump /Kim summit is held there probably US will deploy it's aircraft carrier battle group for security. RSAF is far more superior in terms how it carry out its operational mission when you compare with neighbouring countries.

George Lim - If big country under attack - they can run into their forest or run more than 100 km deep to hide.

If Singapore is under attack, we got no forest to hide or run beyond 30 km.

We have to be prepared to such an extent that - if anyone fire just one shot - we must be able to take out and neutralise all fire.

And the only way to do so is that we must be ready at all time.

Your description and your mindset is that - we will all die if our adversaries do the 1st strike.

Be complacent, rest on the laurel, and tidak apa attitude - is the 1st to die and the fastest to die. 
Now of course can talk cock and sing song.
