Hello pat33,
Those 'limitations' are not a problem to me. What is a problem are these pseudo-intellectuals who talk big as if they know it all when all they have is a anti mindset. I dislike their grossly unbalanced take on issues.
BTW, I take on journalists & academics as well sometimes. Foreign journalists and academics are the culprit for a lot of spins out there.
Overall, I have to say that the Singapore govt have been honest with the people. The people may not want to listen sometimes and instead focus on the negatives because they are self centered & immature. That is not the govt's fault.
