Useless rantings of a few disgruntled S'poreans...

Interesting Conversation with Wolong.

Had an interesting conversation with wolong yesterday at trasy's blog (It started rather innocently though lol), hence I am posting it here so as to share it with all of you.

Be warn, it is quite lengthy :P.

By the way wolong if u are reading this, I have a small request to make. Is it possible that u can try to write with more punctuation marks in the future? Sometimes, it is really very hard to read your posts leh... lol. :D

Oh, Another thing wolong, I always go for suppers. ;P

January 03, 2006 9:12 PM, At82 (Me):

To Wolong:

Errr... Sorry, I have to disagree with the notion of a death match in the back alley.

I would like to believe that, we Singaporeans, have reached a stage whereby our political differences can be settled by rational debates and democratic elections in an open manner without resorting to any violence. I also disagree with calling ppl "PAP dogs" or "oppo dogs" etc...

The beauty of the democratic system is that everyone has the right to support any political party they wished to, whatever their reason are. The leaders will be chosen thru open and fair elections. In this way the will of the majority will always be upheld.

January 03, 2006 9:24 PM, At82 (Me):

I currently live in ALJUNIED GRC. But given the propensity of changes in boundary, I dunno which GRC will be belong to in the next GE bcos I live on the edge of the GRC.

As for who I will vote... Lets just say although I am amused by the antics of SDP, it is not the best party I have in my mind... I will leave the rest to your imagination. ;)

January 03, 2006 9:43 PM, Wolong:

January 03, 2006 10:47 PM, At82 (Me):

To wolong:

If i am not politically consicious, I won't be surfing this site right ;).

Anyway, if the oppo are really as bad as u say, then there is not need for PAP to worry at all. They will just self-destruct when they present their platform during the GE.

However I suspect that oppos of some quality are emerging. Perhaps they might not be of the minister caliber, but they probably are good enough to be MPs. This is when the PAP have to be careful. Nevertheless, I hope to see that a more levelled playing field this time round.

Mr wolong, i think even u cannot deny that for past few elections, the oppos were not given a fair amount time to present their platforms during the campiagning periods.(the sensiblity of their platform is another matter)

January 03, 2006 11:03 PM, Wolong:

ehhhhh i did say u politically consious leh when did i nt read properly leh when i say opp bad u nvr read i always praise mr chaim n steve chia 2 (u must be selective who u wan i think even u agree tht chee is out rite) as i said pap was in opp 2 were there no obstacles in their path? if u compare theirs with e opp 2day its a far cry man lol

January 03, 2006 10:47 PM, At82 (Me):

To wolong:

No, pls dun be mistaken. I think u are reading to much into what I am saying.

I din say that u condemn all oppos, I am just refering to your previous statements, which u said that u can't talk to the oppos in a rational way and that they always blame others without looking at their own weakness.

I said that if oppos are as bad u said then PAP can relac, bcos no 1 will support the them and they will self-destruct bcos their platform cannot stand the scrutiny of the public. Gd eg is SDP, there is an even a debate over the internet on the policies that he advocate and most are not convince.

However, wat troubles me is that the oppos are not given a reasonable amount of time to tell us their platforms.

U might think that wat is the point if the oppos' platforms are of poor quality anyway? My ans is that, yes, they might be of poor quality today but it may not be so in the future.

Anyway if PAP is the best, there is nothing for them to worry abt anyway, real gold not scare of fire rite? So why the rush (only 9 days for campiagning)? Why only declare the new boundary so near to GEs?

I dun think these actions are healthy for Singapore.

As for freedom of speech, I dun think free speech shd be equate with irresponsible speech. For eg in Germany, speeches that deny holocaust are illegal. But most ppl won't say that there is no freedom of speech in Germany. I also support the punishing of the 2 bloggers who posted racist remarks on the net.

Although it might sound a tad too idealistic, I would like to believe that we can have freedom of speech without it degenerating into irresponsible speech.

u can read more abt debate here: http://shianux.jiyuuu.org/2005/08/15/137/democracy_is_not_a_populist_whore/

Have a nice day!
