Hi friends,
There are many things one can predict.
For me, I just like to suggest that
in the next 1 to 3 years,
we could see
more opposition-like groups of
people speaking on behalf on the people, providing them richer
views from multiple angle.
Opposition-like but may not be
registered political parties. As to what is their agenda, they
people need to find out.
As to whether this phenomenon is /
will be good for the Opposition remains to be seen.
I sense that the garment has already realised the formidability of
youtube , blogging Face Booking and internet
capabilities in general.
To survive, political parties now embrace the internet.
In fact , their immediate future depends substantially on
it. Their ricebowl as well.
The Mainstream Media (MM) is not sufficient
anymore.
What is boggling me right now is,
who is saying the truth , given that to understand
1 truths, one may need to read about /
understand more than 1 truth. What can ensure
that the people get access to all the relevant and necessary
truths to understand a truth?
So, people can be giving truths to
understand a truth. But some other relevant truths may , by
'accident' , not given to the information consumers at
the time of printing. Thus, FREEDOM of INFORMATION or news freedom
is important. Without it, some truths may not reach
the news consumers in one report. Multiple sources of reliable
news and commentaries can give more full-bodied
contents.
So far, many or majority are not aware of things like TOC, Siew
Kum Hong, Reform party and current affairs, especially
political issues. They could have come across these names in the
news but it is usually a case of left-ear-in, right-ear-out - They
FORGET. Who are supporting the activities organised by the
people who run the new blogs and websites that discuss and comment
on political issues? Who are sponsoring them? These needs to be
transparent. The people can then better decide.
