haha.. singapore is under "Hybrid Regimes".

***Yawns*** and the powers that be all say? "So what? Foreigners trying to impose their standards on us."
I think we all know all their sound bites by now. -
I wonder if ECONOMIST will be sued? "equlus84" as co-defendant for laughing at them.
-
maybe gahmen might sue who knows, it called s'pore a 'regime' so if thats a lie they must sue if not there must be some truth to it
-
Calibrated legalism, self-censorship, extremist pragmatism..these are some of the terms I can think of.
Uniquely Singapore.
-
Huh?
What's new? -
think about it..
you want democracy, as citizens, bloody live up to the responsibility that comes with it!
stop being apathetic and complaining.. take your MPs and Ministers to task.. ask the questions that need to be asked, refuse to be shut up...
turn up at the "meet the peasa.. uhh.. people sessions" and ask.. and keep asking.. if they cannot make up a good enough lie or anything, challenge them...
but always do it politely so that they have no chance to shout you down or remove you...
democracy means the lea-duhs are put there by you to serve the people.. that's their responsibility because they put their hands up..
democracy also means the citizenry have to do their part...
do we have the maturity to shoulder it? -

Wow!!! We are behind Indonesia, Philippines and Mongolia in terms of Democracy.
-
I mean Singapore is democratic?
The only difference between Singaporean democracy and autocracy is that, we didn't shout, "Long Live (whoever, I leave it to your imagination ) " -
Is it True CSJ Jailed? Anybody can confirm? Another black mark for Singapore's Democracy? CSJ deserved it? LHL go overseas will be questioned about CSJ again?

Last evening........ I heard over YES933 that police is investigating a case in which SDP website was hacked by a hacker and it was temporary down for a few hours. Anibody heard similar news that can verify the autheticity of this news?

Man oh man....wonder what 'THE ONE' and the son of 'THE ONE' will say now...
Or maybe they'll say nothing at all...
as usual, this stuff is not published in papers...
All HAIL 'THE ONE' -
Now, I started to respect CSJ's endurances, tolerances, braveness, sarcrifices and ect.
