In Singapore, whenever people talk about Human Rights nowadays, it is almost certainly going to drag in the SDP (Singapore Democratic Party) folks. Recently, we have another opposition wannabe involved with this thing called Human Rights, and who else would it be but our law hero Ti Lik.

It is rather interesting when Gleechoo suggested that maybe I should write something about it. Alright, no problem. Actually, Human Rights is a pretty deep subject unknown to the laymen, and those politician-wannabes; how not to be convoluted is just about the same as how to be convincing… Which is actually the essence of Human Rights.

Perhaps allow Professor Elfred to tell Singaporeans one story:

Long long ago, in a far far away land, two big big men met at a small small place… The one with the big big guns pointed to the man with the big big brain and loud loud he yelled, “This is a robbery, you may not say anything, but whatever you said will be taken like farting…”

The big brain did dump alot of reasons why he should not be robbed and so on and so forth, but the big gun took his stinking underwear nonetheless. Just before the big gun got to run away, a lady with big big boobs appeared and bounced the big gun back to the crime scene. The lady said she was the goddess sent to stop the crime. So the big brain was saved.

The above story is about Human Rights. Like it or not, it is.

If we go by dictionary, this crap called Human Rights is defined as the rights of individuals to liberty, justice, etc. If we go by political version, it is the Rights to which people are entitled by virtue of being Human; universal and fundamental Rights. If we go by MM Lee, it would have to be a very very long and probably really convoluted session with me; but we can sum this up in his roar of the 60s: Singaporean Singapore.

But we have to stick this in our minds because Mr Lee is aging, and… our discussion is based on when he is still around with us. Human Rights in Singapore is like the perception of the same old man by Dr Chee and by Sudjono Hoemardani, the latter found Mr Lee friendly, outspoken and kind. Dr Chee may be going to protest on this… Anyway, with this we go into Human Rights.

Human Rights is like United Nation, there is this by right and there is that by left. Of course, Professor Elfred will go into more practical aspects of this thing called Human Rights as well.

Human Rights By Right You Are Right.

(Hang on… Got a show, man. Politics is important… Yeah yeah, but the show is more important!!! Hahahahahaha…)
