Public life means issues that affect the general public.
Participation means taking part in public discussions to give our
views and hopefully one day we'll be able to stage peaceful
demonstrations when the need arises.
We live in Singapore and there is definitely nothing wrong to
engage in any discussion on local issues that affect our life
rather than be indifferent to what is happening and affect life in
Singapore. There are people who take this as something
negative and do name calling "losers",, "sheep", "anti-PAP" and you
name it.
The ruling party of course hope that nobody at all voice out any
negative issues concerning them, but this is fat hope
really. WE are not robots, we are human with brain,
flesh, feelings, intellect, freedom . . .
