S’pore cops use taser gun on man after attempted attack
Yahoo! Newsroom – 3 hours agoA Russian man who refused to leave a lodging house was stunned by a taser gun after he attempted to charge at police officers on Sunday morning.
Police were called in after the man had threatened staff at the 3-storey lodging house located at the corner of Lorong 20 Geylang and Westerhout Road when he was asked to leave.
The man, believed to be a 34-year-old, had checked into a room together with a woman around 8am and paid $8 to stay for half an hour, reported The New Paper.
While the woman left shortly after, the man remained in the room and when asked to leave at around 8.40am as it was past his check-out time, he threatened violence.
Upon arriving at 9.30am, police had asked the man to keep calm but he continued shouting and charged towards the officers when they entered the room using a spare key. They managed to avoid his attack and used a taser gun to bring him under control.
A police spokesman said, “The subject was violent and had charged towards the police officers, intending to cause hurt, despite being advised not to do so several times.
“The subject continued to use violence and a taser was discharged on him for the safety of the public and of our police officers.”
He was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital to be examined but was discharged after there were no visible injuries.
The man was then arrested “for using criminal force against public servants”, according to a police spokesman. Investigations are still ongoing.00000000&&&&&&&&&&&))))))))))))))

People often think that artists in Singapore work in a world of make-believe with little connection to what happens in real life. This was certainly not the case with the three. Mr Goei and Mr Lim expressed their concerns about the social and political problems in Singapore - and conveyed them in their work as artists.
Mr Goei noted that while Singapore boasted of gleaming skyscrapers, Singaporeans seemed rather unhappy as they go about about life on the island, an observation that was reflected in his movie.Dr Ang Yong Guan, a psychiatrist, stood up to provide his analysis of the movie's theme and characters. He noted that over-control of individuals by authority lead people seeking escape behaviours resulting in undesirable and dysfunctional outcomes. Wealth does not solve the problem. In fact, it may exacerbate the situation.

General Crisis affects all aspects of life from intellectual, religious, and artistic, through social (concerned with human gregarious and emotional needs) and economic, to constitutional, political, and military.
Efforts to deal with all these aspects by political action, or even by force, means that all aspects tend to be become politicized, even such “private” matters as relationships between the sexes, between the generations, within families, etc.
In the Age of Conflict this culminates in a great effort to fuse into a single system three quite distinct social organizations: the community, the state, and the civilization itself. The last two of these usually do reach a point where they obtain coterminous boundaries (as a Universal Empire), but the effort to pretend that this huge social aggregate is a community is always a failure.
There are two reasons for this failure. A community is a social aggregate (group, society, or civilization) whose members trust each other until they have explicit reasons to distrust a particular person; such reasons for distrust can be found very easily in an age of general conflict and general politicization, in which power intrudes into all human relationships. More important than this, however, is the second reason, the fact that human emotional needs can be satisfied only by contacts with nature and with other humans on an existential, unique, face-to-face basis in which individuals know each other personally.
An institutionalized society is too cluttered up with artifacts, institutions, and power factors to permit the achievement of any “global village,” a McLuhan myth which is typical of McLuhan’s efforts to please the contemporary institutionalized establishment. Any large social aggregate, especially a highly politicized one as a Universal Empire must be, has to operate through artifacts, general rules, abstractions, permanent status, and generalized, non-personal (that is, not “face-to-face”) behavior.
All these things are obstacles to the unique, existential relationships among persons and with nature required by human emotional needs. The effort to make a Universal Empire into a community, or to pretend that it is, is bound to fail from the cumulative frustration of unexpressed emotional energies. Contemporary student hatred of the IBM card as a symbol of what is wrong, in their minds, with today’s world is a notable example of this reaction.
Eventually, in the course of the Age of Conflict, individuals begin to reject the effort to make the state and the civilization into a community and begin to seek emotional satisfaction by what I call “misplacement of satisfactions” or by opting out of the system.
The first of these responses is too complex a problem to be dealt with in any adequate fashion here. It includes a general tendency to seek satisfaction of human needs on the wrong levels: to seek security in the acquisition of property, or in sex, or in unquestioning allegiance to an ideology as a secular religion; or to seek emotional satisfaction in power, in violence, in status, or in artifacts; and so forth. The second of these responses, opting out of the system, includes the use of narcotics, alcohol, or other irrationalities, as well as the effort to lose oneself in a niche of the system, but it is most notable as a renunciation of any ambition to create a community from the whole society or the state, in favor of an effort to find emotional and social satisfactions in some voluntary “little community” or commune.
Such efforts appear in the Stage of Conflict and have a fluctuating history until they finally become so pervasive (usually late in the Universal Empire) that the whole system disintegrates.
This “opting out of the system” involves a shifting of allegiance and emotional attachments from the state to small communities. It is clearly seen, for example, in the Greek-speaking Classical world after it reached it reached its Age of Conflict about 450 B.C. The first famous case is Epicurus, who renounced allegiance to the state, to war, and to military service, and invited men to find their true satisfactions by sitting with their friends, eating and conversing “in a quiet garden.” Later, the Cynics, the “hippies” of the ancient world, sought similar “anti-social” but inter-personal satisfactions.
This trend continued, vigorously resisted by the state, (especially by Rome after the Latin world entered its Age of Conflict about 250 B.C.) but with decreasing success after the time of Augustus Caesar. By that time, Lucullus had abandoned all politics to devote himself to feasting, while men like Apollonius of Tyana and Christ pointed the way to the satisfaction of human social and emotional needs in religious communes. However, only in the Second Century A.D., when the Universal Empire of Classical Civilization was almost two centuries old, did this trend become a torrent. At that time, tens of thousands joined the church, finding in its catacombs the emotional, religious, and intellectual satisfactions which had been left frustrated by the Classical over-emphasis on military, political, and economic concerns.
After A.D. 311 Constantine and his successors tried to regain the political and military allegiance of the Christians by adopting Christianity as the religion of a new Imperial system centered on the Persian doctrine of Providential Empire. This effort created a new civilization, Byzantine, in the east, but in the west, civilized life collapsed into invasions and the Dark Age of a new Western Civilization. Classical Civilization died everywhere....
