  i don't see the ironic in both of the article at all,
  
  the government is just trying to tell everyone the same thing over and over again, that they don't tolerate protest at all, but they welcome, constructive comment on how to improve the society, well, i guess the conference, main focus will be more on free trade, compare with maymmar, we are better off, at least, people still able to voice out, but in that country, they jail people up,
  
  seriously, channelnewsasia, is just trying to promote the 'goodwill' of the government, which i feel that they are doing such a 'fabulous' job that each time, i see them reporting on the local news, i basically laugh at the report. The message is very clear, singapore government allow free will of speech as long, it does not damage the reputation of singapore, they only hear what they want to hear, nothing ironic about it, it has always been the way of the government.

  "allow free will of speech as long,..." "they only hear what they want to hear" is not ironic?

  we close one eye, and live on with it, and beside we are commoners, since when they will listen to what we say, only until the GE.

  There is freedom of expression in Singapore, this is true.
  
  But you must sing the praises of the regime and not criticise it.
