  The show depicts the actions of terrorists in gory, and horrific detail. It is a fictional account of "what might happen" if terrorists strike in Singapore.
  
  Is this is propaganda to convince or scare people into believing that detention of people without fair trial is a good idea? I was nearly convinced myself.

  The ISA here is still working well, except the section that forbids detainees from challenging their own detention through a writ.
  
  It's a loophole that could be used in politically motivated cases as compared to terror-related activities.

  propaganda is suppose to be convincing, especially when its in a 'crisis scenario'.

  If that's a propaganda, I would expect it to be shown everyday. Unfortunately, it's not. I trust that Singaporeans don't have such a good memory to remember that such a law exists in Singapore.

  In essence, it's the perfect epitome of the pot calling the kettle black.
  
  Let's face it : what's the difference between fascists and terrorists? They are different forms of organised crime, with the main difference being the former being given a legitimate right to exist...
  
  That said, I'd gladly align myself with the terrorists over the fascists any day if I had to choose between the lesser of 2 evils.
