All attempts will be made to hide the past , and even present, political mechinations to deny human rights by an ingenious interpretation and callous imprisonment of those who struggle for human justice and freedom, by those who were and are in power to justify their brutal deeds. Second, I reach out to people like Michael and Jing Quee and many other friends to marvel at their discipline and dedication to ensure a just and free society. Third, I urge the youth of today not to be mersmerised by the glitter of material progress, but to secure a society which will respect human dignity and ensure a just and prosperous society based on democracy for the progress of humanity. The evil and calculated deeds by men filled with greed and no principles must perish at the roots. The youth of today must be made to be aware of this and always fight for justice and freedom.
