S'pore, Myanmar junta --March 1, p.6
Thank you so much for your straight and revealing article. In the future, I will never go to Singapore again with the same feeling I had for the country in the past. Your article should be reprinted and distributed among Democracy Loving Citizens of the World.

Singapore to the Burmese Military Junta is like Swiss Bank to Nazi Germans. They don't care whether the gold, the paintings and others came from a legal source or not as long as they get a cut they will do the service for them.
How can anyone explain this when if one is caught with a few kilos of narcotics drugs it's certain that one will have to face the gallows -- but if you've enriched yourselves with drug money, production, trafficking and the lot -- no problem - the City State will invest it for you.
Is there any reason for Singapore to be complaining about what kind of regime we have in Burma? They made a few unconvincing pleas when the U.S. Treasury was cracking down on some of the accounts.

Weapons of the weak -- March 2, p. 5
Insightful! An interpretation on reality that I had forgotten since leaving required military service more than 50 years ago. Thanks Simon! Next time some petty bureaucrat tries to ATM me, I'll try one of these weapons.
