You are going to be so amazed when I tell you this.
I had gone into Australia's parliament house and you should see
all the photographs of the kind of interaction the Australians had
within the house.
An entire time line depicting events from the time it was built,
it was really invigorating.
And - the camera rule, you are completely wrong.
Brought in two cameras together with my mobile phones and they
completely allowed it, bear in mind that we had to go through
airport type security and the officers simply waved us through.
There were signs telling the general public on what kind of cameras
would be safe though the radiation scanners too.
Took lots of photos within the house, even within parliament
seating and they had no objections!
Anyway, ERP gantries if you look at carefully, the government is
charging near $10 already, apart from a single beep which deducts
the $10.
Look at driving down town in the morning lets say via CTE in the
morning. Two gantries + a CBD charge. Guess you guys can do your
sums!
Like I said - the majority of Singaporeans are just followers,
and never able to take the initiative and this is partly due to the
way we are brought up. "It's none of my business attitude". Pardon
me but well - this is in reality.
Even like when I was in Vietnam, the junk boat operator also
knew about the crazy salaries that our leaders are getting and they
are just shocked - something which should not happen in a first
world country.
There are lots of controversial statements made by political
leaders and if you were to read between the lines - a lot of it are
threats, and digressive statements.
One thing which Singaporeans should try getting into - by
diversifying your knowledge through foreign media.
AFP, Reuters, CNN, CAP etc.
It's not about complaining and it's not about me typing this
extremely long winded post.
It's more about - are we really what our leaders and the world
make us out to be? Obedient and assuming?
That's a stigma which we have to get rid of. This will in turn
reduce the manipulation.
