The Falun Gong Nuisance in Singapore

Two evenings ago, I was using the underpass that links the Yishun MRT to the bus station - 2 ladies were busy distributing Falun Gong (FG) pamphlets that claimed that the FG is very likely to win an on-going case against two of their practitioners in the Singapore courts.

The FG has been in the news before in Singapore - for being a utter nuisance, I think. They claimed that their organisation is nothing more than one that advocates healthy living through some breathing exercises. If that is really the case, why are they always getting involved in China politics? Why can't they simply focus on their exercises and quit being a nuisance in many countries outside China, including Singapore. They declare that they need to spread information of their imprisoned fellow members in China so as to awaken our conscience. I am quite sure that the China authorities have good reasons for incarcerating their members. Perhaps, something to do with their hidden political agenda?

If the FG members in Singapore were really and sincerely concerned about their friends in China, then they ought to take their protestations to China itself, perhaps outside the prisons where their friends are habitating. What's the point of conducting their "demos" here? They should take their battle to China and leave us alone and desist from their disturbing activities here.

They are simply and plainly a nuisance.
