Food for thought.

Why, when a football stadium is easy to control, why are racist slurs gone without any prosecution?

Whereas in Singapore, racist remarks in the internets where free speech
is a penal offence.


I do not know the law, but what happens then if a Spanish citizen blogged racist remarks in Singapore?

Would he, if found out, be tried impartially?

Where the person billed by many as the modern founder of Singapore has dared the opposition to challenge in his home turf (of which i heard on the radio while going to school), this humble blogger challenges anyone who can make light of the above.

Hmmmm let's throw more toenails to stew for the glue, don't you think?

Protests are illegal in Singapore, and you can be tried for illegal gathering. But in the end, weren't the protesters calling for transparency in, among other things, the NKF? Which has now, of course been found out for rewarding its executives too 'richly' like getting getting first or business class tickets.

I would like to say that those people had sense to see that there was something going wrong, but obviously didn't know that what they would do in order to attract attention to the situation at hand would be a penal offence.

Ironic now that the matters of NKF have brought some nationwide attention. Is vindication the word to use?

Singapore as country, is part of the United Nations, which has on its official webpage the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, of which under Article 19 and 20 (1) has something to say about the above.

Which action might the discerning citizen hypothetically going to take from now on? Huh, there's a local term for it issit? What arh? ORH KIASI-ISM!

Singaporean citizens have always been compelled to keep in line, because jiang shi hua, the UN HQ is so london, and the matah are just my house behind only you know.

It has always been my flaw to digress. And i shall do it here. Crime rate in Singapore might have rose by around 20% in the time period from 2004 to 2005.

The 11pm curfew for teens; does that make sense? Well sure, maybe a fifth to a quarter of the crimes for that time period were related to teenagers.

Who cares? I'm 18 now! I can buy booze and cigs... No wait, I still can't watch Brokeback Mountain.
