How honest do you feel singaporeans are in expressing their opinions on current issues online?
Hard to say, some may fear expressing their views. Scared of ISD, police, Lee Kuan Yew's lawsuits etc.
Singapore is not a place that encourages people to express views on government or politics, so over time most turn apathetic and ignorant.

of course, especially when they are using a "nick".....
Prasie PAP everybody dares; criticise PAP, not everyone dares.
Defend PAP, everyone dares, attack PAP, not everyone dares.
That is my view.

Seriously, i think even with nicknames, if the gov ReaLLy wanna hunt u down. i guess they still have their ways. So in some way, people probably wouldn't be truthful?
On the other hand, people can probably go around that by going to internet cafe? haha
Real life democracy (like practically go on stirke or whatever), nothing much to talk about (dun think we have alot anyway) - i dunno juz my opinion. haha
Cyber democracy probably a little more? What do u guys think? =)
hard to say, coz the ruling regime never officially they dont prosecuted ppl online. the OB markers are not clear. thus self censorship is very impt if we want to stay alive!

if ah tan works in company G and its politically not correct to express their honest anti opinion, like they may loose their job, forget about getting honest opinions.
