A sad day that another so called potential next generation leaders gets persuaded successfully by the current party in power.
http://maos-corner.blogspot.com/2008/07/speech-by-dr-vivian-balakrishnan-27.html
Quote: Regarding press freedom in Singapore, Dr. Balakrishnan said that Singapore does allow the press to say what it wants, given that it gives a chance for the government to reply to accusations and the sort.
Abao: Remember FEER and the Govt? FEER offered our Govt an interview to rebutt and clear its name but our Govt declined, subsequently rebanning and sueing the review.
Quote: This means that media owned by corporations would write what the reader what to see, so they would buy their newspaper and the corporation gets more advert fees.
Abao: Using your words, I can also type out these:
This means that the media owned by Governments would write what the Government want readers to see, so they would follow in line and the Government gets more control.
A Sad day indeed when moderation is practiced in pervasion. We dont even know when we are practicing it every day…

I notice they always make vivian make all the sinister and unpopular statements that affect the younger generation. I remember last time there was an unsaid perception that he has the potential to help move PAP forward to a more progressive party. Instead of him changing the party, the old guards have turned him into yet another white shirted yes-minister. Hai..

@ Abao
Yup, sad :-( 66.6% asked for it..
@ Ming-Ming
I remember watching a CNA documentary on him. He was suppose to be a firebrand debator in ?RI? and very critical of Government policies..
