Pinoys have been doing it legally at Hong Lim Park for years, why
the rants now? (http://www.tremeritus.com/2013/05/26/pinoys-have-been-doing-it-legally-at-hong-lim-park-for-years-why-the-rants-now/)

about the Filipinos’ plan to celebrate the 115th Philippine Independence Day at
Hong Lim Park. There are those calling it illegal, cursing the Pinoys, and
accusing the police of not doing anything to prevent it. Some of the rants veer
toward xenophobia or sedition. All because TRE asked legitimate questions about
whether the event was legal.
Why the rants only now when this event has been held for at least two years , if not longer, (http://www.philippine-embassy.org.sg/news/2011/06/grand-fiesta-2011-a-celebration-of-the-113th-anniversary-of-philippine-independence/)at Hong Lim? Just google
for that fact. So our police allow an illegal event? This is S’pore, not the
Philippines, Thailand, M’sia or Indonesia where can suka suka party or riot
anywhere, anytime. This is S’pore where Harry’s Law is enforced.
I asked a police contact whether a permit was needed to stage it, and was
told that a permit was needed. Another contact told me that every yr since it
began, the Filipino embassy had applied, and been given permission, for the
event to be held.
It is not like the Merlion riots demonstrations (http://atans1.wordpress.com/2013/05/19/how-many-more-chances-do-the-law-breaking-msian-fts-want/) where garang, qua-lan, and lazy and cowardly
(don’t want to go to JB) M’sian FTs working here, unhappy that Anwar lost the
M’sian elections, broke the admittedly, very draconian and KS law on the staging
of public events without a police permit.
The Filipinos played it by the book, so let them enjoy themselves, just like
other govts allow S’poreans to enjoy themselves on our National Day in their
countries’ public spaces.
We may not like the PAP govt’s perceived pro-FT policy, that Pinoy HR
managers in MNCs prefer to employ Pinoys, and that Pinoy (and Indian and M’sian
and PRC) FT PMETs are taking away jobs or keeping salaries low here: but let’s
not be like our constructive, nation-building media (example (http://yawningbread.wordpress.com/2013/05/24/oh-joy-our-economys-bubbling-again-says-our-nation-building-press/) from Alex Au) or the Todds (http://atans1.wordpress.com/2013/05/24/todds-when-grief-overwhelmed/), who have lost all credibility because they talk
rubbish.
Netizens should have a lot more sense than our local media or the Todds.
Otherwise, netizens deserve our local media, and the PAP govt.

*When I pointed out to TRE that this event had been an on-going event and
gave them the above link, so that TRE could give its readers the facts, the
editor asked me to write about it. I don’t blame TRE for not googling before
writing its piece because it is a two-person outfit. One man focuses on IT and
the other on content. Both have full time jobs, and families. Worse, they have
to spend their own money keeping TRE alive: tee-shirts and donations don’t cover
the IT costs. And if TRE closes down because of a lack of funds, it’s netizens
fault! Open yr wallets. Don’t juz post that you will donate or have donated,
then do nothing.
