For reasons too stoopid for our police to understand, if by a strange fate of coincidence, a group of 30 people so happens to wear the SAME shirt out into the same place, will they get arrested for illegal assembly then?

Catherine Lim was given a similar dressing down by press secretaries in the past, but no highhanded action like indefinite suspension was metted out.Originally posted by ditzy:Banish Catherine Lim, Colin Goh must go too!!!
Catherine Lim writes well incidently, perhaps with more jest and dry humour, but with significant points worth debating; that's probably why she was let off the hook...she was discussing points bearing merit, and with some suggestions of her own.
Or so they claim. -

Touchy touch touch...
..."For them to suspend the column is ridiculous," said a 19-year-old Canadian student who only wants to be known as Bronwyn. She was at the subway station with her sister and mother to take part in the silent protest. -
It is ridiculous, bordering on the insane and insults the collective intellect of Singaporeans.Originally posted by BÃ¥seline:Touchy touch touch...

The problem is people here are just too afraid of 'consequences' should they act on their conscience. That explains why we need 'enforcers' to fine errant smokers instead of citizens telling them off on their own.
'It's not my problem'....they say.
Apathy is truly an issue in our country. And the govt has played a supressive role in the 'brown incident'. -
and they have the cheek to lament about apathy. Think I'll choose to laugh instead of cry this time round.Originally posted by BillyBong:The politically correct phrase is: subdued initiative.

Those people will be forever marked as potential troublemakers.

With regards to the gabra-ment, talk is cheap, talk is uber gobsmacking cheap.. apathy? Go figure out where that came from before launching another Don Quixote crusade. -
Hey elections are over. They dun have to care what us turkeys think now.Originally posted by LazerLordz:It is ridiculous, bordering on the insane and insults the collective intellect of Singaporeans. -
We are about the only FIRST WORLD Country on this globe, with a Government that is paranoid about its Citizens not being able to discern between 'real' facts and 'shady' facts.
Our Singapore Third World Government insist on a monopoly over the Singaporean minds - whatever the media of influences that affect our minds will be controlled, be it the materials that are read, viewed, heard, tasted, or smelled.
When cable vision was first launched, there was hope that Singaporeans will have free access to satellite broadcast programs from the entire globe.
Sadly NO; this supposedly First World Country with a Third World Government decide to control access and at the same time milk the money out of Singaporeans who wish to watch programmes from across the Globe - and then again only selected programmes are available.
Cable vision was available only through a Government Linked Company - subject to the regulations from the Ministry.
Perhaps Singapore should stop believeing the 'shady fact' so expertly put out that we belong to the First World, when the TRUE Third World Countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines allow those citizens - who can afford - to have access to satellite connections to the world broadcasting medium.
Talk about plugging into a Global World, and we can only experience this Third World Government expertly controlling the selected plug going into hole that it clearly will allow to be plugged. -
DOUBLE-POST -
So if I gather 40 of my classmates in class T-shirts at an MRT station to silently protest how a fellow classmate's dad is treating him, the whole lot of us get investigated as well?
That was sarcasm, by the way. -
If all 40 classmates behave and have a teacher in attendance - or someone mature enough to look like a teacher; and with all 40 mates singing nursery rhymes or patriotic songs - you will all be just 'fine' .Originally posted by fudgester:So if I gather 40 of my classmates in class T-shirts at an MRT station to silently protest how a fellow classmate's dad is treating him, the whole lot of us get investigated as well?

'Fine' ?? 'fine' ??? -
You know, when they say PROGRESS, I think it meant porgressively higher costs of living!
