This really made me sick.

The violent killings and beatings

of monks and demonstrators

unarmed and holding

a peaceful protest

against the ruling military junta

in Myanmar.

A government

is supposed to be

for the people.

The people have spoken.

A government is supposed

to listen to its people

and try to resolve

their grievances

in a peaceful

and fair manner.

Only a pariah state

ruled by beasts with

the morals of

street dogs

will kill

its own kind.

But that is only

to be expected

of a military junta

that overturned

the election results in 1990

when the people voted

for Aung San Suu Kyi.

And have since,

put her under house arrest

and ruled the people

with military force,

in the process

sending a mineral rich country

into near bankruptcy.

You see some of Myanmar's brightest

working in Singapore

as waiters and waitresses.

It makes me even more sick,

sicker than sick.

When I think of this Singapore Government,

whose Temasek owned companies,

Chartered Industries

and Allied Ordinance,

selling guns and ammunition

to the Myanmar military.

When no one else,

will sell these pariahs

weapons

that were meant

for killing their own people,

this Singapore government

will gladly sell them weapons.

The Myanmese people

were gunned down

by guns and bullets

made in Singapore.

All of us here,

have Myanmese blood

stains on our hands.

We voted a government

that supported murder.

So who is the bigger pariah?
