Democracy is a fallacy. taking power from authoritarian rule and putting it into the hands of a cabinet of ministers elected by the people is essentially nothing but a waste of time. it's clear that Singapore is still sticking to its communist roots, despite claiming to be a free nation all these years.

Do you really hear us, PAP? how can you pursue your selfish plan of building the infernal casinos without even paying any attention to the social uproar (despite it being a small one as compared to the fierce protests in China)? and you dare ask us to cooperate with you to make casinos a success.

as a supposed vibrant and unique society, you'd expect a flurry of revolutionary voices of somesort as a result of such a unexpected move from the government. afterall, all the big cities have their own little movements every now and then. but unfortunately, judging from the typical "i dunno lor watever lor" ambivalent response towards the casino issue from any typical fellow on the street, you can't exactly expect us to valiantly overthrow PAP with our powerful votes during the next elections. afterall, we really dunno lei. even about what we want for our future.

then again, perhaps we're just really obedient people. we just know how to behave ourselves. think chee soon juan and you'd know better than to openly go against the gah-ment. especially when mr LKY is still around.

maybe we need a Che Guevara of our own. to awaken our repressed states. to make sure that we're still alive and have thinking minds of our own. to remind us that PAP, like any other parent, must acknowledge our opinions for once.

or maybe we just need a suicide bombing attack to thwart this whole insane affair. let the exciting times begin.
