Remember how a few days ago, in the newspapers, two bloggers were charged because of racist entries? They wrote stuff which were against the muslims and got slapped with a 5 grand fine and a month's jail term. Their faces were printed all over newspapers.
What cock.
I vaguely recall Singapore trying to mutate into a less conservative country, with the Gigolo competition thingamagig in bars courtesy of the movie Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. Singapore was trying to be less rigid also by revising the education syllabus into more creative and critical thinking rather than plain regurgitation.
What cock.
Now everything you say on your own private personal blogs can be held against you in court. Yes, even if it's personal. To me, the racist comments were a personal feeling/perspective. I mean, if it was phrased in an extremely crude way like he was trying to fuck every single mat and minah in Singapore, then I agree he should be charged with racial intolerance. But this incident also shows the political and social obstacles that one might face in sunny island Singapore. Things are not as easy-going as it is made out to be. What a blog was, used to be a diary. An online journal where you can pour out your deepest darkest secrets to. An outlet for your hidden thoughts.
What cock.
Now a blog has evolved, most unfortunately, into an online battlefield where the conformists and the elitists fought, where the High class and the Low class bashed each other. No more peaceful mind-your-own-business, it has become a dog-eat-dog world. Controversial issues can easily land your ass in jail, which proves to be major suckage because then, you cannot freely complain about the higher GST and the longer ERP operation time.
One pending issue, as mentioned by Rockson Tan: 40-year-olds can be retrenched, 81-year-olds can be president.
Truly, what cock.
