Assuming the people with whom we have vested our
trust(read:votes) and hard-earned dollars(read:taxes) to govern the
country with due respect to the democratic process are reasonable
and well-educated(which I have no doubt they are),I am left to
surmise that the real motive behind this ban must largely be
attributed to backdoors politicking - the likes of which we
S'poreans would like to think are only relegated to the ranks of
3rd world countries.
Let's face it,the justifications thrown up by the BFC are at best
ill-founded,lame and fraught with inconsistencies.And it's pretty
plain to everybody that this ban isn't really about the game
itself,but is merely a front to hide the politicking playing behind
closed curtains.
Give the BFC the benefit of the doubt,I'm pretty sure it's all too
aware of the ludicrousity of the decision to ban HL on the grounds
of excessive violence...who knows,when(if at all) they finally get
their politically-muddled heads sobered up and start acting
professionally and ethically,BFC will no longer be synonymous with
the stigma of being a "narrow-minded parent" but instead be
accepted as a politically-correct instrument of a true democratic
gov.
