    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…

    Ming-Ming:

    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..

    @ 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..

You Will Not Be Forgotten

Joshua Benjamin Jeyaretnam
5 Jan 1926 - 30 Sep 2008

For the sword outwears its sheath, and the soul wears out the breast. And the heart must pause to breathe, and love itself have rest.

Say NO to internet regulation in Singapore.
