Brainwashing campaign begins in TV

When I said that living in S'pore is like having a gun pointed at your forehead, it's basically true. What most people are doing now is actually what the govt tells us & them to do.Originally posted by hyuuga neji:its not tat ppl dun care...
ple are afraid to care...
the consequences of caring are not only on them...
but their families also...
nobody wounld wan their loved ones to be adversely affected by their actions...
also there are those who have too much too lose...
1 wrong words out of their mouth...
and years or generations of wealth building will be gone...

The incumbent party would never permit an environment conducive for opposition growth. The GRC electorate strategy and ISA saw to that.
That means credible opposition may have to come about first, but through the sacrifices of some individuals. Among the bright young Singaporeans, who is incorruptible and courageous enough to withstand the lure of money and power from the rich and strong incumbents? Sigh... -

A few things Singaporeans can be sure of though, are:
- University fees (especially for locals) will go up
- Loan interest rates (after graduation) will go up
- Housing costs will go up
- Living expenditure will go up
- Election deposit fees will go up
Unless there is a major upheaval in the future that affects the entire world, the cost of almost everything is boung to go up. And without opposition to check the government policies, they will go up even faster than the average Singaporean paycheck (if it ever rises). Singaporeans would have to work more to settle bread and butter issues. Inevitably it becomes a never-ending vicious cycle... well actually it has already become a vicious cycle. -
Not only is it too expensive to be opposition. It is also too tough to be one.Originally posted by hyuuga neji:high university fees will stop ppl from becoming opposition...

Can you imagine yourself wearing singlet and burmudas and selling "Hammer" in MRT stations. That is the only way of publicity for opposition you know. -
