Yeah, it’d be great to see each other personally. It’s kinda weird to know the names of the writers but not know your faces (except for a few like Leong Sze Hian). To think that I’ve always thought Shihan was a guy…

I wish we would have met in person at the Year-In-Review forum.

I quite appreicate your well thought-out comments.

In fact, many positive deeds done by alternative parties, for their residents, were deliberately omitted in straits Times and little things from pap were blown out of proportion with tremendous coverage in great bold fonds. Having such mentality of the sph journalists, if approved to write history, is truly a news and be prepared to read “MIW untold story” with full tone of salt.

When many people objected to the content of the book, that is because there is this well-known lack of professionalism from the authors, to write everything that only his master love to read. That is quite a fictional read for past time and should not be taken too seriously.

By the way, am I the only one seeing (perhaps wrongly) that hum (#2) was being sarcastic?

The Shitty times writer apologize for a wrong account less than 2 months after publication…

Where is the credibility?

Yes, very true. Many stayed silent or were ambivalent on the social cost because deep down they knew they had compromised their principles and conscience for a cheap development dollar. As long as economic progress is there, they kept silent. But now, especially in the past 15 years, as progress under PAP rule comes with disproportionate social cost, they realise their mistake. They realise their own selfishness has inadvertently burdened their future generations.

If I remembered correctly then, the conclusion was that “students got too much free time on their hands adn should concentrate on studies instead of politics”.

I doubt any CHancellors nowaday dare to change that “dcitum” started by Dr Toh CHin CHye of “freeing up the students to have “more thinking time”, i.e. “study less, learn more”".

If PAP Government wanted to devleop a viable and credible opposition that can form an alternative government in lieu of PAP, then a “politicla nursey” must be seeded in th fertile gorunds of our tertiary institutions:

Let them ahve a freedom fo chocie to form their own politicla aprties in whatever denominations they want.

Afetr all, Communism and MArxism and all their violent off-shoots wer defeated in the 90s witht eh collapse of USSR, 2nd World and COmmunist CHina morphed into Socilism with a Capitalist Face.

There should not be any fear of an armed insurgency to overthrow a democratic elected government as those days of the MCP and 60′s Leftist Armed Revolution are gone.

What SIngapore needs is to remove that 60s shackle on Politicla Freedom and let SIngpaoreans evolves in their political conscious.

Let SIngpaoreans choose their own paths of travelled; not the direction pointed at and instructed by Nanny.

This was a wonderful read. Thank you very much.

Men In White will have more credibility if it is written by the Ghost because the spirit cannot tell lies since they have to redeem themselves. As for these 3 stooges who only capable of blindly writing whatever nonsense the old fart give, they will be remember as Singapore’s Amercian version of The Three Stooges.

now, thats what i call credibility!
