The PAP system breaks without the ability to control and filter information...

[TopSage]

They know it and in the few weeks we see efforts to reinroduce a climate of fear among citizens to prevent them from exchanging information freely like they do in all other developed countries. Defence minister goes so far as to call online discourse a threat to total defense. It shows the intent of govt to clamp down on the free exchange of information so that govt controlled media such as newspapers and TV dominate and can be used to influence public opinion.

The pap would have been able to push ahead with it 6.9M populatiin plan if not for the Internet, it probably wouldn't have to slow its import of foerigners without the Internet problems associated with with the high influx can be managed by using state controlled media to keep people unaware of the underlying causes. Scandals like AIM, bromptom bikes can be managed away quietly with netizens putting a microscop to examine the issue. Unlike govts of democratic countries the PAP is not about to cope as the free exchange of information undermine its claims of highest integrity. What we are seeing is conflicts arisng in many areas and these are pointed out by netizens. The parachut scheme to bring elites from govt to GLCs such SMRT, sale of sotware to AIM, and all the unhealthy cross linkages between pap govt and business comes to light under the scrutiny of netizens.

The pap will ry its best to regulate and silence the internet before its credibilty completely falls apart

The free exchange of information is not an issue.

It is the propagation of LIES that needs to be dealt with severely.

Suppression of lies is just a pretext for suppression of truth and opinion.

Netizen growing up with use of internet know how to manaage the information in this space they don't need the govt to regulate it for them. The purpose of regulation and draconian laws is to use on bloggers critical of the govt one small slip or carelessness in what they write and the govt can use punitive measures against them.

The recent regulation is to give govt power to demand site take down an article they do not like

The people who wants to control those lies, do not LIE?

The PAP has a reputation of being honest and upright. They do not tell lies.

You name me one person on this planet earth..that does not tell lies!...please do not suck eggs to the extent, that is ad nauseum. Honest & upright standard, no body will dispute, they have done a remarkable job, with Lee Kuan Yew keeping that Standard flying, but do not tell lies...come off it!.

Being honest & upright is different from the fact of " do not tell lies"..

It's the half truths and what they don't tell you that matters...

Thanks to the free exchange of information, we have been able to see the truth. For decades, we have been fed with the PAP lies and many skeletons hidden from public view. Now, you want to turn back the clock to make your forum the bastion of PAP lies?

Wow, you can be the next leader of the PAP with your android-like support of them.

I'm not supporting them. I'm merely telling it like it is. The PAP has done nothing bad to me. There are a few policies that I disapprove of but there is no government in the world that is tailors laws and policies just to pander to my wishes. You have to take advantage of the policies that suit you and side step the ones that could cause you harm.

If you are no longer a Sporean the policies of the PAP no longer affect you. Right

For many who are still stuck here they have to worry about a failing MRT system, ponding, over crowding, expensive health care, inflation, .....

Nobody is STUCK. We all have a free will and the ability to move freely in this interconnected world.

The trick is to diversify. Instead of planting yourself in one spot like a tree, you should establish a few bases from which you can operate.

The sinkies that I interact with have all done this. They have not abandoned Singapore. They spend plenty of time there. All they have done is given themselves options.

With Skype, Whatsapp, Facetime, Facebook and what have you. Home can follow you no matter where you are in the world.

My point is not if they had lied to you or to me, my point is, to reiterate, they never tell lies...which come to my point is, nobody on this earth can claim that, they never tell a lie or lies!!.

I am telling that twit, that nobody on this earth do not tell a lie....a Navy Regular that never surf porn, is like telling us, that he do not use arms...is he a Jehovah Witness??
