Yes, indeed the ingenius creators of the “Singapore seen”
section have successfully transformed the nation of Singapore into
a nation of Paparazzi. With such a section, typical Singaporeans
like you and I can snap pictures quickly and conveniently at what
we call inappropriate behaviour of other Singaporeans, then upload
the pictures for other web-surfers to gawk at. WHERE’S OUR PRIVACY? But if the
purpose was to curb bad behaviour in public, it would be impossible
since we would have to be on our guard the whole time once we step
over the thresholds of our door. It would be as if we had to hold
our breaths and be so sharp as to avoid sinning in public places
lest the self-righteous pull out their camera phones and snap
pictures of us. LET ME ASK, ARE THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS THAT HOLY?
EVERYONE HAS SINNED IN THEIR LIVES, EVEN
THE BEST OF US. WE ARE MADE
FOR SIN, AND SIN IN TURN WAS MADE FOR
US. Uncomfortable, as you might put it. Being conscious of
what you’re doing the whole time, you never know who might betray
your face to the press’ website, even your best friend. Basic
manners may be lacking in the character of some Singaporeans, but
notice the background they come from, I mean what can you expect
from the character of a man who has lived through gang fights and
seen both his father and mother get slaughtered by robbers hungry
for a mere $1? It would do people good if they would restrain their
bloody cameras and sally forth to speak amicably with such a man,
instead of picking the coward’s way out and snapping a picture to
spite him on the internet. In fact, why did were we pushed through
oral exams? To inculcate the ability to speak of course. Most
Singaporeans nowadays cannot so much as speak properly and firmly
against what they believe against, especially to strangers who
don’t behave properly in public, and with the instigation of such a
section in the straits times’ website this disability has been
encouraged tenfold. How would you like to be featured on the
internet unconsciously but surely doing something you thought was
right but in fact deemed wrong by most of Singapore’s population?
Like I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, the judgement between
good and evil is the difference between the majority and minority
of the population who declare a certain deed good or bad. Also,
with such embarrassment on the internet for potential employers to
view, your income would have a better chance of becoming no-come.
People who think like me have been flamed and blacklisted on the
stomp website, so I’m appealing to an older but surely more matured
society to CLOSE THE FUCKING WEBBIE! That’s
right, we’re thinking of doing it like switzerland, dealing blows
by signature superiority. Anyone support? Positively or
negatively?[/url]
