Burgers no fries

I can only cling to an unrealistic hope that Alan Shadrake won’t be used as an example of what happens when foreigners ‘interfere’ in internal affairs. He may be defiant and continues to speak out, but unless he has some serious health issues, I expect the judiciary to show him no leniency.

Everyone knows that living comfortably in Singapore comes at a price. I’m glad that there are activists beyond the now-tragic figure of Chee Soon Juan willing to take some hits to highlight this. Not that I think it will make a whit of difference to foreign investors. We live under too benign a regime to cause any real political embarrassment.
