I think this was the case in the past. Now, it would be hardly so for the younger gen.
"are they the majority? how many of such people have you met?"
The majority of Sg would not give a hoot about politic anymore, esp the younger gen. Even as they are more educated and can be more decerning than the previous gen.
Both of you have yr points but from diff perpectives.
maybe 66.6% is from the past. hope the next GE can prove me wrong.

Denied opposition propaganda.
Only exposed to PAP propaganda.

if everything u hear is from the PAP and you never have a chance to hear what the opposite parties have to say, are you able to judge the truth?

have you even considered the fact that they may want to vote for PAP because they think the opposition cannot make it, or they think the PAP members are better?
thinking that all people who vote for PAP is stupid and believe whole heartedly in propaganda is so.... narrow minded.
They are real people they can meet driving taxis, working at coffee shops and construction sites. talk to them, don't lump them up together as stupid people.

what makes you think the taxi uncle and the coffee shop auntie is ignorant of the opposite party, or the PAP's result over the years?
Go talk to them.

Go talk to them.
what make you think i'm talking only about taxi uncles and coffee shop aunties? i still back to the same question, if everything u hear is 1 sided, how are you able to judge?
back to same answer, what makes you think they are ignorant of the opposite party?
Originally posted by skythewood:back to same answer, what makes you think they are ignorant of the opposite party?
that what i'm telling you. if everyday you only hear report from the PAP control media saying how bad this particular party is, how many are able to judge?
the PAP control media as in ==> mas selamat escape!
==> courtroom prisoner escape!
==> some guy use son passport and got through
==> rising gst!
==> ERP gantries!
all facts are reported. the government give their side of the story, The End.
do you seriously think that the people will just accept their side of their stories?
Which party you talking about? Chee? how come Chiam see tong don't have problem? again, the facts are reported, and the government give their side of the story.
how else you the media to report?

did he lie? last i check, political videos are allowed now.

Yes.
Originally posted by Poh Ah Pak:Yes.
give me example.
I'm quite tired of seeing forumers who think that anyone who is not a PAP basher is stupid, brainless, naive, ignorant, fill-in-the-blanks.
I look at histories. I look at performance. I look at results. I don't agree with all govt policies. I think Sylvia Lim and See-Tong are doing very good jobs. But SDP are just clowns. I do fume when CSJ starts blurting his mouth off to discourage investor confidence in SG. Patriotic my foot! I am just an insignificant player, but I do try my best to promote to my corporate clients that SG is really a wonderful place stay and do business.
And lastly, I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person who happens to have a brain. I dont need people to shove information up my a**.
Opposition would ruin Singapore: Lee Kuan Yew

Do you expose yourself to Singapore mainstream media?

Right. PAP forced me to with CNA/ST and censored off all other news sites, maybe even Al-Jazeera. Or are all official news agencies biased and you would rather rely on flyers and hearsay?

They didn't force.
It's just that all mainstream media is state controlled.
That's all.
Not everyone has cable news.

zzzz....
i believe this happens to be a statement made by lee kuan yew, and it is published by SDP. take note that SDP editors DID NOT change much from what the local media published.
what does this show? this show that people are able to draw their OWN conclusion, from Lee kuan yew's statement.
Now i ask you, is the SDP critisizing lee kuan yew or critisizing the opposition? is the local media who reported the same thing critisizing lee kuan yew or critisizing the opposition?

Local media criticising Lee Kuan Yew?
What talking you?
Is there example of ST criticising Lee Kuan Yew?
I am curious.

so you say that local media is not critisizing LKY....
so when SDP put this news literally unaltered on thei website, are they critisizing themselves, the opposition? or do they see it as neutral news, one which contains the statement made by LKY, from which you can draw your own conclusion?
