Many mainstream people do not understand but do not be disheartened (I am confident that Dr Chee knew he will "lost" this battle and many battles to come but wins the war eventually...)
Put it this way a few years back when I was at the Istana... I only saw Dr Chee and Gandhi got arrested but now I see a small expanding group of Singaporeans with no links to SDP seeing eye to eye on one thing: that is to bring human rights and freedom of expression to Singapore and it will be an exponential curve as more Singaporeans get educated and enlightened about their "stolen rights"
Here is an email that I send to my friend two years back about why my support for Dr Chee and his "antics"
Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a
work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been
written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on
wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.
