All the problems currently faced by Singaporeans like high
costs, election walkovers, class division of society into elites
and quitters, unemployments, loss of freedoms of speech or views in
blogs or internet were created by Singaporeans' own naivety in
easily accepting everything the government said.
Many cannot see that the current drastic actions on racism in blog
like many of the past policies e.g. GRC and welfarism might be
precursor of tighter controls of views over the internet.
They simply cannot see that they are about to lose their last
bastion of freedom of political views in internet and do not care.
So which is the bigger problem - racism which is already well under
control over the years or of losing their last remaining rights of
political views.
In fact they only know how to sing praises of government intrusion
into blogs and internet and not knowing that they are being
short-sighted or stupid as commented by Lee Ao. By what they are
doing they are signing blank checks to the govenrment to let it do
anything it likes. They do not know that they are creating problems
for themselves as by their apathy or kiasusim and their willingness
to accept incursions of government control into the blogs, they are
being stupid like kids. Or is it that they are actually stupid as
the brighter citizens have mostly left them because they could not
stand such nonsense.
