Misogyny and anti-Mainland China bias aside for a moment – Singapore is a (liberal) democratically elected – “Fascist State”. Although technically “multicultural” – the Indian and Filipino population exists primarily to serve the interests of the ethnic Chinese majority. There is a reason the Singapore Military has close ties with Israel and models itself on the IDF! When an impoverished “Indian” area of Singapore once defied the State pressure to elect the “right” (Chinese capitalist) candidate – instead selecting an ethnic Indian with “Socialist” attitudes – Lee Kwan Yu ordered the gas, electricity and water supplies in the area to be “cut-off” for three-weeks, so that the local people can “learn” who is in control of Singapore! Such Human Rights abuses are common-place in Singapore – but the Fascist State gets away with its actions due to it representing Eurocentric predatory capitalism and US neo-imperialist attitudes in the region. Alverna Cher Sheue Pin is being prosecuted because both her and her deceased boyfriend – Wee Jun Xiang – worked-out a method whereby more money could be generated for themselves and their families (through insurance payments) if one of them was able to commit suicide! Such a creativity that short-circuits the predatory capitalist system of Singapore cannot be tolerated by the Singaporean State – and must therefore – be seen to be “officially” punished! Hence the witch-hunt and resultant trial!
