These were the words mention by Dr Ng Eng Hen over the issue of
people cheating on public transport fares.
This set me thinking. Do we really need the government to step in
for every single matter, problem and inconvenience in our everyday
life? Why is it that for every thing, we ask for government help?
Are we not mature enough to listen and think on our own? Does
everything in Singapore require Legislation?
Frankly, I tend to agree with the minister on his statements.
Without legislation, would we listen to the government?
Example: The government told us not to download copyrighted
materials. Did we listen? No we didnt. So, the government had to
step in and legislate.
So what do you people think? Is legislation the only way to make
people listen?
