PM Lee


A petition calling on PM Lee to resign his office has been launched by a
Singaporean cabby, William Lim [Link].

William, who launched the petition yesterday (4 May), hopes to collect
100,000 signatures to show public displeasure about a statement made by PM Lee
at a community event in Ang Mo Kio on Saturday (3 May) [Link].

During the event, where Indians from various ethnic groups came together to
celebrate Indian New Year, PM Lee said Singapore belongs to everyone including
foreigners. He encouraged Singaporeans to celebrate the festivals of
Singaporeans from other ethnic groups, AND the festivals of foreigners.

PM Lee said:


Singaporeans, new arrivals, people who are on permanent residence
here, people who are on employment pass here, all participating in one big
Singapore family…

So that we feel that this is a place which is special, which belongs
to all of us and where we all celebrate one another’s festivals and happy events
together.
The event was organised by the Indian Activity Executive Committee of Ang Mo
Kio GRC and Sengkang West SMC. PM Lee was guest-of-honour at the event.

After he made the statement, it was immediately picked up by India’s media.
For example, India’s Business Standard published an article yesterday (4 May)
with the headline, “S’pore belongs to all those living here: PM Loong” [Link].

Meanwhile, William told TRE that he is very disappointed with PM Lee’s
statement.

“A leader like him shouldn’t be saying this kind of words at all,” William
said.

“NS is a very important issue and every male citizen must serve NS to protect
their own country, but if the country belongs to someone else apart from
Singaporeans, what is the point of NS? Why should we fight for people who don’t
belong here in the first place?”

William added, “As for CPF, a lot of firms do not want to hire Singaporeans
because they need to contribute to employee’s CPF (a.k.a. a form of taxation for
the firms). So if Singapore belongs to everyone, then give us the same treatment
as foreigners on this issue as well.”

In his petition, William wrote:

Last Week, PM Lee said: Singapore belongs to everyone staying here, including
the foreigners on work passes.Singapore belongs to Singaporean! Not other country would tell the whole
world that their country belongs to the world and not reserved for their
citizens. Try asking other countries, e.g, Malaysia, Indonesia, US, England,
Australia etc.
It’s making mockery to Singaporean and the statement had belittle
Singaporean.
If Singapore belong to foreigners as well, then we should be treated equally
as foreigners:

1. No NS for Singaporean Male Citizens
   
2. No Contributions of CPF

As such, It’s a disgrace of a Prime Minister of Singapore to made such a
statement!
In this petition, we petition on the followings:

1. PM Lee to retract the statement
   
2. PM Lee to apologize for the statement
   
3. Resign from Office
   
4. Call for an election
