My Country's Politics

ajani_mgo

I wish to know honestly what do most of you all think about the political climate of my country, Singapore... You guys have free speech, treasure it well and use it.

P.S. To my government: This doesn't violate the ISA, because I'm only asking a question not giving a remark!

I think it will change within the next few years, for the better hopefully.

I fear that it is giving the wannabe dictators of the west even more ideas, and that it we who are changing, with the abject compliance of electorates (imitating turkeys voting....etc......)

Ajani,

Though with free speech,i still fear giving any comments for fear of what had really happened to the students in our school.Anyway I am not that knowledgable in this political arena.Anyway,all I know that the whole political scene is dominated by ONE party.

hi ajani,
i always thought that those who was born and live in s'pore have better karma than us who live in indonesia.but talking about freedom,i think indonesians have more freedom than s'poreans.remember the dengue case in s'pore?i saw in the cna(channel news asia)that the authority make door to door check.when they find mosquito larvae in your house they'll fine you.in indonesia,there's only advice/suggestion from the govt in tv,they'll wont check it house to house(thank god that indonesia is poor country,so the govt dont have the money to do so),so you can breed as many mosquito larva as you want.and i think we have a more free press than you in s'pore,we indonesians have more freedom in some area but we are poorer.so what will you choose rich but no freedom or free but poor(if free and rich is not in the option list)

You make a point of deep spiritual truth, Angulimala: "free and rich" may not be on the list!
