Locking of "Indonesia invades SE Asia" thread

huaichien SG

Oii! Can't you guys see that the story's fiction??
Where is your sense of free speech?
That writer wasn't sowing racial or religious hatred, he was just writing a story.
You can't accept it because the storyline had S'pore losing?
What if the story was completely about Indonesia over-running Malaysia?
Would you then gleefully lap it up?

I don't know who that storywriter is and I am not writing this to help him. I am asking you guys to be more tolerant. If you think others are spouting nonsense, so let it be. As long as his nonsense isn't meant to incite hatred. And I don't see how you should start hating the storywriter or hating Indonesia just because you read a story about your country losing battles. Its fiction!

The saddest censorship isn't big brother censorship but self-censorship.

If in an indonesian forums somebody say singapore is a blood thirsty nation wanting to invade indonesia how do you think you will feel?

Like wise if the indonesians come here, and they discovered that they are potrayed as blood thirsty people who are invading others how do you think they will feel?

And who will be answerable to this if one whole gang of indonesians turn up to defend their national pride. There will be no end to this.

I hope this answers all your questions. This is a matter of respecting other people from other nations. Not because of any case of national pride.

You may talk about a war between other nations. But the topic of singapore/malaysia/indonesia vs each other is strictly a taboo down here.

Because even in extrapolated fictional wars, there is a difference between describing a scenario calmly and in a military fashion rather than the emotional way that Agenda had written his fiction.

I went to Batam recently.

If have images of Indonesians being good pals with us, you should pay a visit there.

Let's just say that you feel you're in hostile territory the minute you land. Even the Indo children are unfriendly - no kidding.

Have no illusions, guys. These Indo folks regularly slaughter ethnic Chinese people with no provocation. If you need a reason why we serve NS, being Indonesia's neighbour is all the reason you need.

I will prefer that you keep such comments to yourself. Keeping our vigilance is one thing. But to express hatred or contempt for another country is another.
This is getting tiring...i close a thread, people complain that i shut them up...no freedom of speech.

I leave the thread open, people say that i am not doing my work.

I tell people off for expressing contempt over another nation, they say i am trying to control their lives.

So please, enough of this. If you guys want to discuss about weapons by all means do so. If you want to discuss a conflict overseas by all means do so. But please leave out any discussion that has to do with singapore vs anyone else.If you find that we are too restrictive, go to the world armed forces forums or somewhere else.

Ha ha ha, tough job huh..
Now you know what is ignorance of the masses.

CenturionMBT SG

well… no point keeping this thread open. Any complaints, pls refer to the topic reopening thread.
