Largely blackout by English media, Lianhe Zaobao reports that Chia Thye Poh receives the Lim Lian Geok Spirit Award.
毕业自南洋大学的新加坡前政治拘留者谢太宝，获马来西亚林连玉基金颁发“林连玉精神奖”，以赞扬及肯定他对母语教育的爱护与坚持。
现年70岁的谢太宝领奖时说：“对于母语教育及南洋大学，我是蒙恩受惠的多，反哺回馈的少，与那些长年累月为华教和南大默默奉献的人比较，我实在渺小得很。这份荣誉应该属于所有热爱母语教育及南大的人们。”
谢太宝于1941年出生于新加坡，1961年毕业于新加坡南洋大学，是第三届物理系学士，1963年以22岁之龄中选裕廊区国会议员。1966年10月29日，他被新加坡政府以内安法令扣留，1998年才获释。
谢太宝得奖的理由是“良心政治犯，坚持理想，坐穿牢底，体现南大精神，与林连玉威武不屈、富贵不淫的精神一致”。此次得奖也是他自1966年被监禁以来，首次公开发表演说。
他说：“大学不是象牙塔，大学的价值不在于她的良好设备，更重要的是在于她的精神，在于她能够感受时代的脉搏和人民的呼唤，为社会培养爱国爱民、贡献人类进步及世界和平的人才。”
他指出，南洋大学的创办，正如该大学创办人陈六使所说，结合“三百多万华人的胆”，凝聚“三百多万华人的志”，但却在1980年被新加坡政府关闭。
对此，他引述马国华族族魂林连玉所言：“可以摧毁我们的躯体，但南大精神却将永存。”

Former political detainee Chia Thye Poh receives the Lim Lian Geok Spirit Award in view of his love and fight for the mother tongue (Chinese) education.
Chia said "I have receives much but contributed little towards Chinese and Nanyang University. Compared to those who sacrifices long time in silence, I am really nothing. This award should be rightly belonged to those who love Chinese education and Nanyang University".
Chia was borned in Singapore, graduated 1961 from Nanyang University, 3rd batch of physics graduate. During 1963, he won a seat of parliament representing Jurong constituency. He was arrested on 1966 under ISA and was released as late as 1998.
The reason for winning the award is being "prisoner of conscience, perseverance in idealism, fearless under incarceration, manifesting the spirit of Nanyang University. This is coherent with Lim Lian Geok spirit of standing firm under pressure of physical harm and under the lure of wealth".
Chia said "University is not an ivory tower. The value of university does not depend of good facilities, but most importantly on character, on its zeitgeist, and on answering the call of people; on cultivating people into somebody who are patriotic, who love human values, who contribute to human advancement and to the peace of the world".
He pointed that the founding of Nanyang University is as what Tan Lark Sye had said, the crystallization of the guts and aspiration of 3 million Chinese". It was force out of business by Singapore government.
He cited a phrase from Lim Leong Geok "One can destroy our body, but our spirit will prevail".
Chia is coming back home.
Malaysian newspaper reported. Asked if he would make his first public appearance in the island nation, he said he would wait for the "right occasion" to do so.
Chia's word make more sense
Today no public figure in Singapore is able to speak like Chia. Singapore has been so corrupted by PAP. The words like "Liberty, equality, fraternity" could never have come out from the mouth of PAP.
Only Chia has the towering figure to shake us back to the right mind. Chia is our hero and moral compass, a beacon of defiant facing the tyrants.
PLEASE COME AND HELP YOUR PEOPLE HERE TO KICK OUT PAP.

| Chia (Right) and Lim Chin Siong. Chia set the world record of being locked up longer than Nelson Mandela. Lim was later thrown into the mental hospital. Lim could have become our prime minister. British handed the security apparatus to LKY who then used it against political opponents is the real reason behind his downfall. |

We have a lot of foreigners in Singapore whom the government has given PRs to. These people come in with centuries old racial discrimination in the bloodlines.
The india indians PRs are here with these...
Racial discrimination by indians to indians.

Could someone find out about the sort of shit that the PRCs are bringing here with regards to their centuries old values?
Their children are to serve NS, you know. How are you going to protect a country with these kind of values?
I agree 100% that PRC after going through the shit of communism is much more ugly.
But at least you don get to see PRC kicking out every single Singaporeans, like what is happening in Citibanks, and many other fT indian hogged places.
