Penitentiary System
Our member Bertrand
Goh who worked in the prison for 16 years gives us an insight into the
local penitentiary system, prison life and the reform and rehabilitation
programmes provided for inmates. He says
"Progressive societies
are constantly in a tug of war between good and evil. Singapore is a
progressive society in which the forces of good still have the stronger
upper hand. The judicial system is the instrument the state uses to wage war
against the elements of evil rising from within the country. Its role is to
protect society and establish order. In this talk, we shall be looking at
the role of the judicial system in the reform of prisoners particularly
through the use of the prisons system. We shall also be looking at the array
of help provided to inmates by various elements from the community to help
them get back with their families and find work after their release. Finally
we will answer the question of whether more should be done by people like us
either as individuals or as members of an organisation to formally help ex
offenders reduce their relapse rates."

The Conditions of Intellectual and of Spiritual Growth
Choong Chi Pin
gives the second of a two-part talk based on the lecture of the same title
delivered by Annie Besant in Stockholm: 15th June 1913.
On the lecture, Annie
Besant says,
...Intellect may rightly
be called the Truth-aspect of the God within, and as that develops, it gains
that power of direct vision of the outer truth which makes its deception
impossible, for truth is known by the spiritualized Intellect, so far above
the lower mind, not by a process of argument, but by a process of
intellectual vision. Its nature, says an old Scripture, is knowledge,
and to say that its nature is knowledge is the same as to say that its
nature is truth...
