Thanks. I know I said I had my last word with the last post on this thread you quoted, but reading your comment again today triggered a sudden inspiration for me to add on more stuff.
Julius Caesar's elite establishment murderers tried to make him out to look like a tyrant and a threat to the Roman Republic so as to justify his murder. Because Caesar was too popular with the man on the street, the common citizenry, and he spoke too much of their sense against the lies and obfuscations of the elite Republican senate in the Roman Republic.
Yet as history would later show, not a single one of his known murderers died natural deaths. Caesar's death became the martyrdom upon which elevated his adopted son Octavian, who would take over the Roman Republic and reconstitute it into the Roman Empire with him as its first Emperor.
I'm only 31 this July. Hopefully my history will still have many more decades to play out and maybe I'll see some measure of rehabilitation and redress given to me by the SG state. I'm not hoping for this much though, but as the Chinese tale of the
old man losing his horse says, 塞翁失馬，焉知非福.
My Nikkei op-ed was never originally written specifically for submission to Nikkei Asia Review as a mainstream news outlet to publish for widespread reading and embarrassing/criticising the SG government. In time perhaps I might share in future the real story behind how the whole thing even came about (and the story goes deep and dark real fast with the circumstances and main individual that made the whole op-ed possible in the first place).
But good job PAP, good job Singapore. You crucified me for an unintentionally harsh and embarrassing op-ed from a nobody in an international mainstream news outlet, and since then I've not stopped giving you actual, deliberately crafted, and far harsher critical articles on more embarrassing things for your international reputation published with another news site (Asia Sentinel) that can only be partially censored (Substack), run for more than a decade by an ex-WSJ and Far Eastern Economic Review journalist (John Berthelsen) who remembers well till today how the PAP and the Lee family banned their publication and sued them for defamation in the late 2000s simply because they gave Chee Soon Juan a voice on the international media stage, and pretty much un-POFMA-able (because the PAP geniuses wasted their one and only shot with POFMA on ANY MEDIA OUTLET they wanted to censor, oops "correct" on the
one article Asia Sentinel wrote about my politically-motivated persecution, didn't expect Asia Sentinel to basically challenge them to
sue for defamation in a US court where the news site is based, and now that they've
used POFMA as the excuse to ISP-censor Asia Sentinel like most major porn sites or even Sammyboyforum are to anybody in SG who doesn't use a VPN to access the Internet they have to effectively pretend that none of what I've written and published exists, all of which I bet my bottom dollar they WISH they could fucking slap a POFMA against me for).
And boy. Haven't I written a LOT since then.

(p.s. if you like what I've written for Asia Sentinel and also their other content, please feel free to subscribe and support them. They're a journalism outlet much more deserving of support than SG state media
funded with SGD900 million of your taxpayer dollars for the five years between 2022 to 2027, of which even the MCI Minister Josephine Teo admitted that after already providing SGD320 million for two years now
SPH Media Trust has still failed to hit key KPI targets. If you can read SBF, you can read Asia Sentinel. And once you're subscribed to them, they directly send you new stories to your email inbox. Something which the PAP government in Singapore can't censor with all their laws they can think of.)
All in all, what can I say. The SG government tried to shame and character assassinate me by painting me as a degenerate associated with SBF and its Telegram channels in the past.
They forget that like this forum has done for the past 20+ years, I'm also a survivor.
