Yes I do. With more transparency, dirt has to be kept to a
certain level before it surfaces. Unless you think "dirt is just as
easy to hide" if you are open to public scrutiny. And to stay on
topic/thread, there are people unhappy with the way the Government
is avoiding being tranparent, silencing people who try too hard to
make the govt transparent.
Firstly, there is no corealation between Bush's salary and the
amount of "Dirt" he has. I have no heard complaints about PAP
cannot raise thier salaries becuase they are more dirty than Bush.
The people who are unhappy and use bush as a comparison, feel that
his job is no easier than that of our ministers or PM, why should
our PM get 4-5 times his wage?
Thats was Bush's responsiblity to explain to the people or
they'll vote him or his party out of office. There were public
protests in the States opposing the war, demanding justification of
the decision to go to war, the police acted as marhsalls guiding
traffic and the proesters, not silencing them.
A group of protesters wanted to protest in front of the american
ambassy, they were stopped by the police, and the American Ambassy
questioned the Singapore Govt why where they(the protesters) not
allowed to hold a peacful protest.
The same as, decisions made by the PAP is PAP's responsibility to
answer to the people and justify thier decisions.
