Online Media

If blogs and online forums are made up of the common people, it will be words right from the heart. What information can be better than true words from the common man on the street? Unless our ruling party can't handle those truth... which is why they practice self censorship because you got to nip the danger in the bud, before it 'enlighten' more people and degenerate public confidence in the PAP.

Everyone knows this old fact: our media is heavily controlled and moderated, therefore it is bias in its reporting - the same argument that is retorted back at the online community.

There is no smoke without fire; if I can see PAP-slamming topics and posts in every speaker corner styled forum, this is indeed a call for greater concern.

The effect is brewing (resentment and discontentment) and if the government continues it's deterrence measure to clamp down on its citizen, it will probably sprout Mr Red, Mr Blue, Mr Yellow, Mr Green and all other colours other than Mr Brown.

The government still has the 'I know what's right for you' sort of mindset. By default, the government presume that the people can't think for themselves and differentiate facts from friction.

And that the man here are old enough to carry arms and fight for your country, but not old enough to differentiate facts from friction (and not old enough to watch RA too).

Wonder when will Singapore grow up...

Cheers
