SDP meets students at Law Faculty and LKYSPP

The Singapore Democrats today visited students at the Law Faculty and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, both housed on the former Singapore University campus at Bukit Timah Road.

As with their counterparts at the Singapore Management University and the Nanyang Technological University, the law students readily took the flyers and were seen poring through them.

Also like those at the other universities, some of them wanted their pictures taken with Dr Chee Soon Juan. A couple of them even asked for autographs. Several stopped to chat.
One of the first to do so was a European student who spoke with a German accent. "Apart from the lack of freedom of speech in Singapore, what do you think about the economy?" he enquired.

Dr Chee talked about the hollowing out of society where a majority of Singaporeans have indicated that they want to emigrate if given the chance and many are packing up. In 2007 alone 14,000 Singaporeans left the country. "That's a real problem for the economy," Dr Chee pointed out.

"Yes," the student replied, "many of us come here just to study and work. This is not a place to live in. It's like an organisation, not a country."

Shortly thereafter, as if to enact what our German student was saying, a female security guard came up and ordered: "You cannot distribute flyers here! Please stop now! You have to ask the management for permission first."

"I would be very happy to do that," Dr Chee replied and, like a student being led to the headmaster's office, ambled along behind the officer.

"Oh, by the way, how did you know that we were here?" he asked.

"We have CCTV cameras everywhere," our lady officer harrumphed. (Maybe she should whisper that to Mr Wong Kan Seng.)
