Ignorant Seelan Palay and SDP's LOVE for foreigners

Seelan Palay, the activist that is tactically made a non-SDP member, sheds some light to the extent on how much the SDP loves foreigners (while condemning government policies on foreign workers and talents).


A Burmese shares with us how Burmese supports SDP and other oppositions in Singapore.

Seelan Palay didn't know that Dr Chee Soon Juan misappropriated funds when he was NUS lecturer.


And Jarrod Luo acknowledged the inactivity of Young Democrats.

SDP - a Party for Foreigners

Dr Chee Soon Juan slammed SPH for publishing the government's response to Robert Amsterdam's article.

Dr Chee Soon Juan was also interviewed by a foreign radio station.

Dr Chee Soon Juan never misses an opportunity to capitalise on foreign platforms to voice out his flawed ideologies.

And he's not the only one in the SDP to be pro-foreigner. Just think of Seelan Palay, who did a hunger strike for the Hindus, not in Singapore, but in Malaysia, following the detention of the HINDRAF activists. SDP also held vigils for Burmese and I would have thought they pray to Mother Aung San Su Kyi.

What kind of political leader would ask foreign businesses not to come into the country? Dr Chee Soon Juan! As irritating as a fly pestering you on a hot sunny day, Dr Chee Soon Juan appealed to foreign governments and businesses not to deal with Singapore, claiming that they should not support the not-so-democratic Singapore.

AND YET... Dr Chee Soon Juan and Singapore Democratic Party are scolding the PAP for not helping the people enough during the economic recession (think Tak Boleh Tahan campaign, that saw SDP members Tak Boleh Tahan and giving up on continuing the campaign). Now how does SDP reconcile the fact that Singapore needs foreign businesses here to help build the economy so that locals get job? Nah, they're more interested in foreigners.

Of course, Mrs Chee is an exotic Taiwanese. Jarrod Luo, Honorary Secretary of Young Democrats, got his degree from Australia and frequent Macau and Hong Kong for his online gambling business. Chee Siok Chin so wants to go overseas to attend class.

SDP could prosper if it wasn't a political party. Perhaps it should consider opening a travel agency or offer espionage services.

SDP Lacks MasterplanS

It's hilarious to see how SDP got so caught up with a statement by Foreign Minister BG(NS) George Yeo.

"Mr Yeo, who is an MP for Aljunied GRC which includes Serangoon Gardens, said a masterplan was needed to give “some idea of how many foreigners we can accommodate in a sustainable, organic way”, he said."

What the SDP immediately pointed out is:

"You mean that all this time the Government didn't have a plan or "some idea" of how many foreign workers this island can hold?"

As usual, from here we can see how SDP always twist facts. Mr Yeo said that a masterplan was needed to find out how many foreigners can accomodate in a sustainable, organic way. This meant that there could be a masterplan to find out how many of them can enter the island, but no masterplan yet for them to accomodate in a sustainable and organic fashion.

Yet, the SDP was quick to say:

"Shouldn't someone tell the PAP that masterplans come before actions?"

The government already had masterplans... if not how did they bring in foreigners (action)?

Furthermore, from this incident, we can see how SDP loves to gloat over matters.

"Well, thank you very much. Haven't we been pointing out this problem for years? In Aug 06, the SDP warned that "the social impact of the foreign recruitment policy may yet prove disastrous for Singaporeans." (see here) Now it seems that the chickens are coming home to roost."

Even an Aunty from the wet market can tell you that "the social impact of the foreign recruitment policy may bring inconvenience to Singaporeans. We don't need a politician to do that.

Here is where SDP falls short. Given the current situation, what actions would SDP take to accomodate the foreign labour workforce? What policy would SDP formulate if it were the government of the day? That is what Singaporeans need!
