No, I think it was not amended, but rather an error with my copy and paste lol. Sorry about that, but the link I provided does provide the full article.
Jonst78, the article I saw seems longer than yours. And the portion that you had about Halimah Yaccob being interviewed and acknowledging the protest seems to have gone missing.
I wonder, did Reuters amend it's article?
The error is on this line
"The protest takes aim at plans to make it mandatory for all Singaporeans changes, to be out later this month," Member of Parliament Halimah Yaacob told Reuters. "
Sorry guys

Like Life, you never know what is the news tomorrow.Originally posted by CPTMiller:There are many conspiracy theory.
But if you believe the cause.
Then support it.
Thinking all sort of conspiracy plans lead us nowhere.
Thus, instead of expending our energy on uncertainties and wild guesses, which could be endless, why not just view this as an unpresidented event that may happen tomorrow?
This does not mean I support or dun support. I am discussing based on the news.
A 'protest' where no one really do the traditional act of protesting, now, that is something remarkable.
Is there a loophole in the law?

Sry i sidetrack a bit. Is this the reason y the police took less than 24 hrs to nab the AWOL soldier? Its quite interesting they how they managed to pinpoint the location to be so precise. Does that mean there are hidden cams in toilets in S'pore?Originally posted by reddressman:We are being watched anywhere in the world, just that we dun know. For example, in shopping centers, car parks, buildings....airports, So, no point worrying about this as long as you have not done wrong.

Which is the dilemma of every governing regime in history.Originally posted by LazerLordz:If they are truly pragmatic, then they will not resist change.
The role of the government in this day and age has to shift from being a teacher to that of a facilitator. This reality and future will not escape, and I feel that the relevance of the PAP in the future will depend on the extent they are willing to accept that they must roll back their own authority in order for Singapore to grow and mature into a confident and stronger nation.
At some point, their self-interest will clash with the interest of the people. long lasting governments were those which either had a system in place to regulate this clash of interests or an individual great enough to take that step back on his own powers and hand it to the people.
Our govt is no different from those in history. It is standing on a cross-road now to either take this nation higher or to undo it. as u so rightly pointed out, its preferred ways of governance no longer work. but looking at the track record of our current batch of leaders, i dont think they are anywhere new greatness - greatness of soul to put the people before their own interests. neither do we have a system to regulate and ensure the power remain with the people.
PAP, like most dynasties would become a victim of its own selfish policies and legacy. -
That is called intelligence. But seriously, the police rely on connections. All those connected to the soldier have been interviewed, and humans are creature of habit - there is always a certain place they habitually hang out!Originally posted by forumer84:Sry i sidetrack a bit.
