Funny u say that...i just makes me wonder when singaporeans are
ever gonna stand up for themselves. Are we gonna lay back and
assume the govt has our best interests at heart. Is it not innate
human nature to be self serving. When do we get to question the
people that govern us and when do we get full transperancy? Or is
singapore the perfect example that Democracy's final outcome?
Fear wields power. To tell u frankly we are all terrified of our
goverment. We know they can make us dissapear, or destroy our lives
in an instant as with JBJ and DR Chee.
We fear what might become of our country in the hands of someone
else....(I must commend Our MM Lee on an excelent job bringing
singapore to where it is.) However.. times are not as they were do
we really believe that the current govt can serve us best? Perhaps
not. Perhaps we do. For those with doubt, do we dare question? Or
can we only whine....
I urge the goverment to assure its people thet they are free to
speak, if they are truely serious about getting public opinion.
I think a free speech bill should be passed in parliment. 
I think its uncalled for to sue someone to death for somtthing they
said. If there is no truth in slander, the goverment should present
its facts and discredit it and pay no heed to it. The goverment
would gain the respect of its people.
