Description:

This is the film Singapore's censorship board doesn't want people to see. It's the story of opposition politician Chee Soon Juan, who has been imprisoned twice for championing democratic change in the city state. The censors declared it a "party political film" and it was pulled from April 2005's Singapore International Film Festival line-up after the director was warned he could face two years in jail if the screening went ahead. Directed by Martyn See. 'Singapore Rebel' has been selected to premiere in two human rights film festivals this month. The inaugural New Zealand Human Rights Film Festival and the Amnesty International Film Festival (USA) will host a series of screenings in Auckland, Wellington and West Hollywood. Film-maker Martyn See will not attend the festivals. He is now under investigation by the Singapore police for "the making" of 'Singapore Rebel' --- This is the video that actually prompted me to get a Director's account on YouTube and take uploading more seriously. It's taken me this long to find the video again!

Freedom comes with consequences. Look at Los Angeles,California. We've got great freedom. Look at all the graffiti. Look at all the gangs. People can't walk the streets at night without fear for their lives. Singaporeans should really consider themselves lucky. What I wouldn't give to censor all the crap hip-hop and rap I'm forced to listen to because of some idiot's freedom of expression.

Anyone here sincerely believes that the current opposition can run this country? This country wont last one week with an opposition govt. None of them are even qualified to run an MNC. We'd be one glorified fishing resort and sampan port. We wont even be a 'Red Dot' worth being talked abt by our 'lovely' neighbours. Poor poor fool; hunger strikes n police harrassment n every childish tantrum in the book. I hope all that misguided public sympathy is sufficient reward for him.

Chee is an opportunist. I dont agree with everything the govt says or does, but I certainly dont agree with anything he says or does. Every Singaporean who doesnt respect the rule of law or heed the rule of law should suffer the consequences. Dont let all that glib talk from him fool you. Would any of you encourage your children to break the law....any law?!?!?!? You may not like it, but respect it. If you dont like it, then observe the due process - Do it at the ballot box.

if i continue to watch this video, i'll throw up. regardless which side i'm with, that 'guy' makes it sound like s'poreans are sooo desperately in need to make a public speech. is it really necessary or it's that like a suffering or what? wil i loose an arm if i don't? i think S'poreans should just spend more time thinking out of the box, then watchin this video. im glad i didn't finish it.
