Singapore Politics

Politics, a DND strand that is missing from all Singaporeans.
Sense, the only sense Singaporeans have is dollars and sense.
Fear, overly obsessed hallucination of government conspiracy.
Media, a source that is either gospel to all Singaporeans or blasphemy.
Government, a parent that must provide all the best things in life, if not, will be labeled as authoritarian and incompetent.

Are Singaporeans really apathetic towards politics? Why do Singaporeans turn senseless when talking about politics? When Singaporeans have no opinions of their own, they turn to their infamous conspiracy theories: "If I say something wrong ah, men-in-white will come after me ah. And sue me down to my undies ah!" or "Think so much for what? Got PAP mah! Since we pay tax for them to think, so don't think lor!" or simply "No comments" or "Huh? Sorry, I don't read newspapers."

Hopefully, this is one blog that tries, in a non-partisan way, to make sense out of this senseless world of politics. That is provided that my interest sustain this blog that far.

    All the same, a good move.
