Yellow ribbon project targets ex prison inmates to find a better life after going through prison life. But government bodies rejects such people. Why bother...

AF2005 SG

he knew too many secrets?

countdracula SG

of course he knew a lot of secrets, he was a director at the mas! he accidently revealed too much to the press prematurely, so kanna charged….

vaism SG

Take it from another point of view..

The ex-convict probably will feel more assured that society will accept him if there's influence from the top-down..
This may help prevent him from thinking that he doesn't have any chance to compete with society and thus fall back to the dark side easily..

It's a psychological campaign too juz maybe most of us don't see it coz we aren't in their (ex-convicts) shoes.

juz my 2 cents~ Wink

Cindyfeh SG

Since Thurman successfully recovered from being charged, I suppose he should stand up and be a spoke person for the yellow ribbon campaign.

I can't say all released criminals have turned good, but I do believe they should be given a second chance to most jobs. At least make it a fair ground for them to be selected for interviews. If Singapore wants to become a gracious soceity, public and commercial acceptance of ex-criminals is one important step.

I-like-flings(m) SG

Heard that ex-con got some special letter on their IC no. anyone can confirm it?? seriously...if mi a boss i will rather employ an ex con than an ex MP Mr. Green

vito_corleone SG

lots of ex-gangsters/convicts of gang related crimes serve in the police's SSB. Laughing

kaobeikaobu SG

wats new…

LazerLordz SG

Simple analogy.Yellow ribbon campaign endorsed by the government, so no police coming after those who wear it.

Now let's see people wear white elephants..and discover where the moral and ethical vacuum is.

lotus999 SG

Most campaigns were not stupid. They failed because they were carried out in a half-hearted way if not in a supercifial manner.

Ito_^ SG

now den u noe arh. they wan private sector to keep em "trash".

drawer SG

That is why our dear Lee Kuan Yew n Goh Chok Tong die die also must be MM and SM,becoz they know very well that if they completely retire n lose power,no private company or even government linked company would hire them becoz of their attitude problem. Mr. Green

LazerLordz SG

So whats the AAR?Don't behave like you own the world when you are a politician Laughing

robertteh SG

Fake campaign if it is not from the heart !!! If the police cannot even tolerate a WHITE ELEPHANT put up outside an new white-colored unused building, and want to send somebody to wear one more yellow ribbon, how the hell will they ever put up with any old yellow ribbon.

After what the populations have put up with - all the fakes and bull - all campaign will sound hollow now. Nothing other than those truly from the heart will make Singapore beleive them any more. This lesson no. 1 of humanity sadly our self-proclaiimed greatest foresightful leader of the century so far cannot see.

Ogbunwezeh SG

One sentence: For show only, a lot of things is juz to show ppl, not from the bottom of the heart

LazerLordz SG

Sometimes I wonder if the people running the show are really that detached from reality to see that the population is so sick and tired of this fraud and wayang.

Surely, they know that many things are fake..but why don't they speak out?Our nation is at stake leh.

Lowclassman SG

I suggest Ah Long San to be the next Minister of finance. Mr. Green

bila_prem SG

Since gov’t campaigns are so stupid. Why not vote for other party in the next general election? Then there’ll be reforms rite?

LazerLordz SG

I like your easy answer. Laughing

le cruz SG

The intention was there lar, but there wasent enough heart in the execution.

I'm sure there are some sectors of government or the civil service where the ex-prison inmates are able to work in. There is really no government leadership by example here.

But at least the YR project generates some awareness of the issue lar. At least can take some baby steps towards improving the situation.

fett SG

ya, go speak. then they shift the goal post, charge you with Sedition Act or something.

yello ribbon my a**. speak up, my foot.
