Khaw & MIWs engage in shameless doublespeak.....

[Confuseous]

The recent controversy about a ‘riot control exercise’ reveals a blind spot among ministers and not a few decision-makers and ‘grassroots’ surrounding them. They seem unable to see a point of view that is emerging in Singapore: what I would call the ‘Post-independence generation’ outlook. This outlook is subtly but importantly different from that of the People’s Action Party and its devout followers in terms of how they see race and nationality in our society. PAP et al see race and nationality as a reality we have to accept and work with, but the new outlook puts a moral (dis)value on such distinctions and want us to actively avoid using them.

Additionally, a closer examination of the photographs and the words articulated by Khaw and others reveals something more: a government (and its courtiers) engaging shamelessly in doublespeak....
