Singapore Rebel
Okay, because i am totally slow on the uptake, i've only just watched this - when i really ought to be writing an essay on legal normative orders and what happens in times of revolution, does the legal order lose it's validity merely due to its loss of effectiveness, or is it because the basic assumption that the legal order is valid in the first place has changed.
Come to think of it, rather interesting topic to be thinking about when considering Singapore and its Constitution and the Government etc. But anyway, i did a little snooping at the Attorney-General's Statute folder and got several helpful definitions for the greater good of wo/mankind.
Keep in mind the following when watching Singapore Rebel
As defined in the Film Act (CAP 107) S2(1):
“party political film” means a film —
(a) which is an advertisement made by or on behalf of any political party in Singapore or any body whose objects relate wholly or mainly to politics in Singapore, or any branch of such party or body; or
(b) which is made by any person and directed towards any political end in Singapore;
and according to the Societies Act (Cap 311) S2,
“political association” includes any society which the Minister may by order declare to be a political association;
and the Political Donations Act (CAP 236) S2(1)
“political association” means —
(a) a political party or an organisation which has as one of its objects or activities the promotion or procuring of the election to Parliament or to the office of President of a candidate or candidates endorsed by the organisation; or
(b) an organisation (not being a branch of any organisation) whose objects or activities relate wholly or mainly to politics in Singapore and which is declared by the Minister, by order in the Gazette, to be a political association for the purposes of this Act
And, you know, of course the video is totally persuasive. Don’t we believe everything we see on teevee, and believe everything we read or hear? I mean, we’re trained to believe in the absolute truth of what we are told, and not to question the right or wrongs of it. Weren’t we?

Haha, great research done on the Singapore constitution there. Jokes aside, watching that film evoked sadness in me. It depicted the sorry tale of a man's relentless pursuit for, what some might argue to be, justice, and all that remained thereafter was a broken, but fortunately, undefeated and undeterred, spirit.
