More recently, we had Yaacob Ibrahim proposing a code of online behaviour, another throwback to their censorious instincts. Anybody could see that the handful of religiously-insensitive online postings had been taken care of by broad social disapproval. There was no need for the government to intervene. Yaacob’s reaction spoke more of the government’s instinct to be alarmist and to be control-freaks. He felt no need to rein in those instincts.
By this logic, Group (c) issues will see no evolution of policy. Not only does the government continue to believe that they are right, they see no electoral disadvantage in staying the course.[/B
]Yet, a funny thing is happening. We have gotten a glimpse of movement with respect to capital punishment, as more and more drug cases come to trial with charges relating to 14.99 grams of heroin-equivalent, thereby avoiding the imposition of the death sentence should the defendant be found guilty.
