Netizen Calvin Choo, who was at the YMCA event last Saturday, shared on Facebook that his comment on Minister Teo’s Facebook page was deleted.
Mr Choo had been sharing the experience that he and his 5 year old daughter had had at the event and asked why Minister Teo and his team did not do anything more at the actual event to prevent the confrontations which “scared” the special needs children on stage.
His comment did not contain any insensitive or inflammatory remarks and he had been sharing how his young daughter had felt during the event.
He did not make any personal attacks and was reasonable in his comments but it seem that even this was too harsh for Minister Teo to handle so he deleted the comment promptly.
Mr Choo was angry that his comment was deleted despite the fact that he was simply sharing his experience. He wrote about the fact that his comments were deleted and shared his comments again on his own facebook page:x
The picture above shows Mr Choo’s original comment on Minister Teo’s facebook page and here is another, very similar version, that he shared again on his own facebook page:
Narelle and I were at Hong Lim Park on 27 Sep 2014. What shattered my heart was special needs children, the elderly and physically disadvantaged being used as human shield for the authorities against the protesters. Throughout time, conquerors and marauding hordes have used human shields as an effective siege tool, but mankind and history judge such atrocities harshly. I suppose this military tactic would have been covered in some basic courses at the Singapore Command and Staff College, from which the present government have drawn many of its general- and admiral-politicians.
Shame on the powers that be who allowed this to happen to the innocent, and double shame on those who orchestrated this for ulterior motives. No apologies will be forthcoming from the truly culpable, just as there were none from those who screamed, "Crucify him, crucify him!"
By the way, although at first she was intimidated by the confusing scene so we stayed close to the YMCA stage, Narelle eventually directed me to the protesters' mound and asked me to take her to Ms. Han Hui Hui. She wanted to say hello to the brave Jie Jie whose voice was already hoarse (from trying to make herself heard over the loud music from the YMCA event) and lend her some moral support. We stayed beyond the end of the YMCA event until the protest was over.

It seems Minister Teo is only interested to hear the ‘”right” things and doesn’t want anyone else to share their side of the story.
This attitude is also apparent in the government’s recent action to ban Tan Pin Pin’s film “To Singapore, with Love”. PM Lee had explained that the exiles should not be allowed to share their side of the story. (PM Lee: Singaporeans must understand history, but not the version the exiles tell (http://therealsingapore.com/content/pm-lee-singaporeans-must-understand-history-not-version-political-exiles-tell))
Do you want a government which is only interested to share their side of the story and blocks out all other contradictory stories?
