Boobs, Slut Walk and ze Police

[Confuseous]

Global is the other button. That it is a panic button springs from the PAP’s fear of losing power. They are acutely aware that they are running a small city-state in a less-than-democratic way that does not much meet with approval from countries, e.g. US, Australia, they so yearn admiration from. Our smallness and the brittleness from a less-than-democratic governing style make our government a little paranoid about being overtaken by trends and forces greater than them. Global is thus a scary idea. The very notion of external movements making inroads into Singapore consciousness is seen as a threat to their political control. They must be the ones SETTING THE AGENDA; no one else.
