Mr Binhead:

The usual anti-"anti-christian" stuff, I see.

Maybe you'll get down to bashing those Chinese Journalists at your favourite
Singaporean Newspaper.

P.S.  I'm coming to Singapore soon.  I'll expect you to meet me at
Changi Terminal 1 to trow appropriate tomatoes at me in person.

Alternatively, I could come out to NUS and visit you....

Sometimes I wonder why Malaysia bothers spending money on $$$ military 
gear when over 15% of the population is illiterate.  Then there is the
"we have to use our natural resources to feed hungry mouths" thing.
I am sure the cost of 30 F16s will feed every hungry mouth in Malaysia
and will still have enough money left to be channeled into economic
development (such as education).

This is getting fun ! If you "ain't so 'kia-su'", why the heck is the 
S'pore government spending so  much on F-16' ?  If Malaysia wanted to
attack, they would have sent a few surface to surface missles (whole-

and blow every building into South China Sea.

I still prefer to live in a city in where there are lots of trees
around the city, rather than being choked by pollution in a concrete
jungle. Anyone disagrees ?

Dear netters,
	I agree with Victor regarding the above issue. Lets keep this group
for our own educational and economical use or even personal use and lets not
talk about religious stuff here!!! If you want to talk or comment about 
religion you can post it in the appropriate newsgroup and not here. 
Remember that, not only Muslims are reading this newsgroup but also Indian,
Chinese and other races. Lets not create a religious mess here and fight
among each other.
	Thanks for reading and keep up with the good postings guys !!!

Well, personally, I think that's a whole bunch better than a big bloody
"chasing out of the white devils" leaving the country in disarray and
the economy in shambles not to mention the human pain and suffering one
gets in a revolution.

If you can get it without bloodshed, so much the better.

When all is said and done about the evils of British colonialism, I
think perhaps one reason God allowed the British to take "the Empire on
which the sun never sets" is because the British have the mixed
blessing of being the "least of the colonial evils." The British had a
sense of morality -- granted, an ethnocentric, egotistical morality,
but a morality nonetheless (think of how well Ghandi's peaceful
protests would have waged agains the Nazis) -- and had the practice of
training natives to run the place, and so when they left, the
infrastructure remains and one doesn't end up with chaos as easily.

The track record of ex-British colonies do seem to also indicate that
they are generally better off than the ex-colonies of other countries
-- sure there may not be much democracy, but there is generally more
peace and economic prosperity.

Guys, guys, guys, you are all missing the point (for those speaking of
Singapore, mainly). The actual need for Singapore's defence is better
intelligence. Having such a small landscape, naturally it is relatively easy for
an enemy to blockade her sea route or land route. Thus, she'd better be in the
good side of either Indonesia or Malaysia. Having better intelligence will allow
her to prevent any surprise attack. No matter what anybody may say, a surprise
attack, no matter how superior Singapore military might is, will spell doom for
her. How many chemical bombs (which, I believe Indonesia and Malaysia has the
capability of building) do you think one need to snuff out 90% of Singaporeans
in the middle of the night?

Sam, but there is nothing wrong in sentence "Norway collaborated
with Germany" because that was official policy of Norway. Some
people objected that but still collaboration was official business.
There must be many net apologetists in Norwegian discussion group,
don't you think so ? I wouldn't be surprised if so. And tell me
sincerily - do you prefer people who collaborated, or not ?
Because now I do not know, what was the better idea. Probably
at the nearest opportunity I will collaborate.

No no, definitely not, I am sure that the biggest blame should be put on
those who were ruling these territories in the XIX century, I mean British
