Lucky Tan : 2011 was the year of The Reckoning

[Confuseous]

2011 was a year when many Singaporeans were politically awakened to see that change is badly needed in our country. Many of the negative effects of PAP policies were felt by ordinary citizens and social contract under which Singaporeans gave up certain civil liberties in return for prosperity was broken. Ordinary Singaporeans today know they cannot simply trust a power-elite with diverse interests in businesses linked to it to undertake policies that will generate the best outcome for them and their families. A strong political alternative capable of taking on a larger role and an active citizenry with access to information can serve as checks on the govt. New emerging tools such as Facebook, blogs, internet forums and YouTube will help to overcome one-sided propaganda disseminated by state controlled media to allow citizens to aware of the change needed in this country.
