"HAMMER!!"

"Hammer!!!"

Yes, this is the first thing i know about him. The first reaction my parents will recall when we speak about him.

Mr JB Jeyaretnam

My Grandma calls him the 'bearded Indian'.

To me, despite he is in the Opposition Party, he is a man with strong conviction and wisdom. I pity he lived his life in the wrong time, wrong society and perhaps, wrong country. His words and thoughts werent entirely 'trash'. Who say Opposition's views are all garbage? Not true when we mention Mr JB Jeyaretnam.

Politican thingy aside, he is a man with integrity. At least, he did not make a fool out of himself in public and in court. He even managed to send elements of 'fear' to 'you-know-who'. So serious that he 'suffered' for the last twenty years. He was bankrupt and only lately, Mr Jeyaretnam's law practice was just beginning to pick up, after he had been cleared of his bankruptcy status.

He had strong beliefs and he stood up bravely. He fought, he had some victory and he also failed. But he didnt give up at all. Its something we should all learn from.

RIP, Mr JB Jetaretnam...
