Sadly in Singapore, NVA is not very well understood and therefore not widely appreciated. All NVA is is the active pursuit of social, economic, and political goals through peaceful means. Its goal is to transform the relationship between the PAP and the people into one of greater parity, and along the way it empowers citizens by teaching them that power resides in each and every citizen. Petitions are one form of NVA and so are protests.
Everyone else does it
NVA has been, and is being, used by peoples from all over the world to claim their rights as citizens – except of course in North Korea, Vietnam, and until last Sunday, Singapore.[/quote]
2.Everyone does it doesnt mean it is correct.
Like alternative ruling parties,jury system etc.It is damn so easy for
new or old countries to follow these so called democratic sys.

u have been warned 11 Singaporeans should be savvy enough to read the fine print when local elements working with foreigners assert the fashionable politics of non-violent law breaking. The non-violence part is usually boldly asserted and the breaking of the law part is quietly disguised or dishonestly omitted from view. When anyone advocates the wilful breaking of any law, regardless whether you think it is a silly law or not, he does violence to the rule of law even if his actions are peaceful. If every group or individual decides to break a law it doesnÂ’t like, then we have an erosion of the rule of law.
Mr Wong Kan Seng, Minister for Home Affairs, 5 August 20054.Forigner was barred from entry into Sg to teach NVA.
Government has barred Yeshua Moser-Puangsuwan from entering Singapore, for interfering in Singapore's domestic politics.
