Quite simply, there can be no true democracy unless the citizens
of a country realize that they are sovereign, that they are the
main protagonists, and then with wisdom and a strong sense of
responsibility take action based on that realization. Democracy
cannot be successful in its mission unless the people rouse
themselves to become more informed and involved, unless they unite,
unless they establish an unshakable force for justice and keep a
strict eye on the activities of the powerful.
At a crucial moment it is the strength and courage of ordinary
people who have no name or position in society that save the day.
The famous, the well-connected, almost always have too much to
lose, and they abandon the cause in order to protect
themselves.
Singaporeans still have a lot more to do in taking more control of
governing Singapore, & not always leave it to the others to
help do the 'dirty' job. If not the PAP will always be forever
leading us by our noses, & Singaporeans will forever be a
'baby', unable to grow up.
