  b4 the NDP so much spin on the national stadium everyday got stories on how majestic the stadium was. Memories of the stadium blah blah blah!
  
  Then u have the smile campaign. Everyday they talk about it.
  
  Then NDP related spin, spin and spin. They just taken down the gigantic poster of the ruling party in Jurong .
  
  Now they have this Spore Album. Barely a minute into this segment of the news u have a ex-minister of the ruling party in the familiy photo.
  
  There is a chinese saying 'change soup but ingredient still the same'. Its very disappointing and frustrating.

  Why after 41 years we still need spin like this to put thing in ruling party perspective ? Cant we just be like any other normal nation where every other public event is not politicised? For how long just how long we need to wait for a real change??

  Change will take much longer to come about if the people of Singapore are muzzled by fear of prosecution by the ruling party for wanting any changes.
  
  This is their brand of "democracy".

  Thats why we are coming out with alternative events.
  
  We cannot allow the monopoly of the national story by one faction. It would be plain wrong and misleading.

  Well i think the very fact that the media company is politically connected to the ruling party via an ex-DPM which is also a current party member sitting in the board speak volumes. At this angle, how can it be 'hip' ?

  Sometimes "hip" is synonymous with things that are old and out of date.
  
  Think hip replacements.
