I'm more concerned about torture in non war environment.
In China when a person is thought of committing crime against the state his family would also suffer for it.
In Singapore critics, dissidents and opposition figures are kicked out from their job and unable to find decent job. Nobody would give them any job for fear of the ruling government. The government would use libel suits to bankrupt genuine opposition leaders (since there are less than genuine opposition figures too). Funny thing they never file libel suit outside Singapore for obvious reason. And Harry Lee(Lee Kuan Yew) himself wrongfully slandered Dr Chee Soon Juan as liars and near psychopath and getting away with it! He wasn't sued because the court would win him anyway. Some critical bloggers are threatened with imprisonment in the mental institution. The police which represents law enforcement even made death threat to these kind of people. I myself had been starved for 3 days forcefully in their hospital and defamed schizophrenic which I AM MOST DEFINITELY NOT. My grades suffer unjustly too even here. They tried to put my spirit and confidence down repeatedly with insults, mocking, social isolation, cheating, false rumors to discredit me, and hostility to intimidate me.
These are tortures too!
These people would kill an innocent person and used their kangaroo court to deny justice from being served. The case of NTU student David Widjaja is an obvious example. I tried my best to give some sort of warning about this regime but it has taken another life which of David Widjaja's. I don't know who is the lucky one. Perhaps Mr David Widjaja is the luckier one because his torment ended when he died while I have to endure years of psychological abuse and torture that has taken toll on my physical health.
I'm convinced that these people enjoy abusing and tormenting other people. They are psychopaths and tyrants.
And some people would still not able to even accept the possibility that what I'm writing is true . . .and instead add to my injury. . .
I've begun thinking to seek asylum. But a nobody like me?! It would take a miracle.
I'm not whining or ranting I'm just trying to make people more aware that the condition of civil society in Asia especially ASEAN is concerning at best.
Human rights are not that respected in most Asian countries as it is considered to be western values and Asian tend to view their leaders as some sort of infallible deity to be feared and obeyed all the time. Democracy well most ASEAN countries are only trying to look like a democracy. Past the 1998 reform things have improved in my country only to deteriorate again nowadays. Things seem set for another authoritarian regime. It is disheartening.
