The Singapore government maintains a decades-long ban on Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Unification Church. The government banned Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1972 on the grounds the religion was prejudicial to public welfare and order because it objected to military service, reciting the national pledge, or singing the national anthem. A 1996 decision by the Singapore Appeals Court upheld the ban and stated that individuals (including members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses) have the right to profess, practice, and propagate their own beliefs, but may not act as members of an unlawful society or attend meetings of such banned groups. In practice, the government does not arrest Jehovah’s Witnesses for attending or holding meetings in private homes; however, it does not allow them to hold public meetings or publish or import their literature. The government banned the Unification Church in 1982 on the grounds it was a “cult” that could have detrimental effects on

PM Abe and his political party LDP, Liberal Democratic Party has beefing winning 8 elections in row keeping 2/3 of parliament seats despite the fact PM Abe and his LDP had been labeled as radical and extreme right wing political and attacked by the media (it sounds a lot familiar to many people around the world ?) but LDP kept winning. Japanese election is conducted with same day voting with paper ballots which may change in future but many Japanese are alarmed as silent majority more than 2/3 of democrats whole population in Japan support LDP and PM Abe for the protection of Japan from aggressions by CCP, Russia and North Korea all neighboring countries.

This reporter should present no evidence of corruption when he accused PM Abe but he does not have any. He goes on criticizing PM Abe without presenting any evidence. It seems that this news media feels much appropriate to use none Japanese person as reporter to explain politics in Japan without much of legit expertise in Japanese politics. Protesters are less 1000 whereas funeral attendees are more than 30 times more than the protesters, which is evidence of strong support from Japanese people, not foreign reporter, proven and backed up by police report, real report.

This reporter is saying different things on the other programs.

Unification church has close ties with North Korea and CCP and Anti-Japan and US although Unification church has close relations with Politicians on both democrats and republicans side and some of Japanese politicians since Unification church was first used by CIA and KCIA as anti-North Korea organization but under surface unification church build close relationships with North Korea. Many issue created between South Korea and Japan involving the US was used by unification church to extend their influence in those 3 countries as it acts as triple spy.
To understand this complicated topic, you have to always suspect and research who is truly who. Japanese person you may research may not be a Japanese as Koran decent can have multiple Japanese names in Japan beside Korean name. It is called name washing as similar acts of money laundering.

Unfortunately or not, unlike France, Japanese constitution protects freedom of religion
