Remember they say "you don't own it, if you cant defend it'?
The same can apply to the our internet freedom defences.
It would be too late when you realise next morning the 'party troops' has landed, way before the 1 million readership is attained by the netizens.
We are a fragile and small country, if you mess up the media, we will be in deep trouble, a trouble that can destroy our 50 years of nation building, others countries can go messing up their media, they are much bigger in mass and population that even their govt lose control of some part, but that is their problem.
For us, we take care of our backyard, you never understand our fragility, we cannot even withstand a major earthquake nor a tainted milk case, if we lose control of the media and let it free to sell false and untrue infos for individual interest, then we are history.
For someone who is casting his or her vote, one might ask whether the media platform has been fair to all the parties in the electoral contest. Already we can see that the odds are stack against opposition parties contesting in the election, at the very least main stream media should be neutral wat.
But apparently this is not the case. The party mouth-piece is never critical of their policies.
Due to their grip of the media, after the fallout of the orchard flood, they went about managing public opinions, no independent experts’ opinions on the flood issue in relation to the barrage were sought and debated.
The print media failed us on this count and succeeded in theirs as a party mouthpiece doing SG yet another disservice.
Hey parn,
Are you an elite who does not care much for the society well-being?
Are you too comfortable with your life?
If I say I hope for an egalitarian society with lower income gap, will you be angry with me?
Maybe we need to have Thaksin style of economic policies to help the poor then the poor will be happy.
If you are born rich, you don't know what is like to be poor.
Just like if you are born with a vision, you don't know what it is like to be blind.
I hope you quit your elitist attitude if you possess one!
Todate already 45 years of govt. in SG since independence yet there is still no independent press while many countries already have -
'Freedom of information legislation :-
Freedom of information legislation are rules that guarantee access to data held by the state. They establish a "right-to-know" legal process by which requests may be made for government-held information, to be received freely or at minimal cost, barring standard exceptions.
Other countries around the world have implemented some form of such legislation. Sweden's Freedom of the Press Act of 1766 is the oldest.' -Wiki.
SG is not on the long list of countries with existing nor pending legislation . Where are we heading to ?

Hello, you understand what is a contest, election is a contest, and in a contest, you need to make your opponent lose inorder to win, I have 100% no doubt that if today, SDP is the ruling party, they will do the same, control the media, or maybe even the nets and Iphone just to get hold of wining a contest.
A general has to protect/defend the gate with all his might, in whatever way, he must not lose, if not, he will be the attacker instead of being a defender. Oppositions are like attackers and the PAP is doing all the best to defend it. That is the name of the game, you dun expect a ruling party to welcome opposition, lay red carpet and tell them they can talk whatever they like??? if that is the case, no political party of sense would win or hold any ruling
i feel its rather stupid to blame the PAP for 'monopolising' on the media. PLEASE. during all these years, have u guys ever seen one election poster in the papers like " VOTE PAP! ALL THE OTHERS SUCK!" EVER SEEN THAT? EVER SEEN THE PAP USING THE PAPERS AS REAL PROPAGANDA? u guys dont have a REAL clue about what REAL propaganda is. Wanna talk about the NDP? The YOG? come on ppl! ok, maybe the NDP was a bit wierd, but hey, how else do we celebrate singapore's independence? the massive coverage on YOG? some could say that its the PAP behind this, but i barely see anything crediting the PAP to being such a responssible government balh blah.... the massive coverage was just more to celebrate singapore's accomplishments(personally, i dun think much of that^^) wasnt it? stop saying that PAP uses the papers for propaganda, cos they dont.
1.They dont place HUGE, crazy posters abt "VOTE PAP!" in the papers, or u guys dun ever see flashy adverts like "PAP. YOUR ONLY HOPE^^"
2.It would be stupid to accuse the PAP of propaganda with the NDP coverage, cos wouldnt it be wierd if the papers didnt publish anything on the ndp? isnt the NDP supposed to celebrate singapore's independence? then? squish the NDP into a tiny column on the news? pretend the NDP NEVER HAPPENED?
3.And so what if yea, if u guys can even find evidence of the pap using the media as propaganda? if a opposition party can then still beat PAP? that shows that we are looking at a capable opposition WORTHY TO VOTE IN wouldnt it? stop with your useless excuse of voting in opposition to 'boost' morale, ok? u guys may be THAT STUPID to vote in parties u arent even sure of their competence, but i can tell u majority of singapore wont be so stupid to vote in a party they have no idea if that party wont turn out to be a bunch of useless idiots. PROVE yourselves. GET IT? Singapore needs capable leaders, not a bunch of crazy donkeys in the parliament who will make it even harder for the PAP to put in some beneficial policies. It's like italy in the 1920s all over again. so-called 'proportional representation', and what happened? A LOT of parties, NO DECISIONS EVER MADE. u want a parliament full of 'talk but no action?;
what to do, these lame oppositions cannot find much loopholes to challenge the PAP, so attack the media lor, next they will talk about Foreigners , then cost of living, then low pay and jobless, then high property cost, then govt high salary, it had been going on for years, they dun sian, we also sian liao..any other better idea??
still better than all those play-acting by those Taiwanese politicians............pretending to fight to show they stand by their opinions.............i knew they were faking it when i was 15 or 16................

I don't think PAP is using the media as propaganda, but they control it. Meaning they can censor whatever they want.
Examples such as delaying news, blocking news etc etc. Those news unfavorable to PAP cannot be published, news favorable to the opposition parties cannot be published and etc. So all in all, s'poreans aren't having REAL news.
From your point 3, I can see you are a PAP ç‹—, but I leave you to your opinions. If you read straits times everyday and treat it as a 'bible', wow, I suggest you continue playing maplesea before acting so crazy.
What the PAP did till now, the next election I would rather vote any 鸡é¸ç‹— party than PAP.
Elections definitely coming.
So many new posters suddenly popping up like mushrooms after a rainy day.
and so, u're saying u would rather vote in a party even more useless than those in taiwan? that jus because u have a personal grudge against them u would rather vote in a useless govt and bring down singapore? drag singapore to a worst state? hmmm... seems quite illogical, maybe even delusional. WHO's the delusional one here? I, on one hand would rather vote in a capable party wouldnt i? true, if there were a better party i would vote for them, BUT GET THIS, LOSER, THERE ISNT. before u go voting for a dog in place of a REAL human, go to a corner and think, because what u jus said is not just irrelevant, it shows how stupid and naive u are. by posting this crap, it shows just how hypocrtical u get. vote for a dog? vote for a cat? WOW. maybe instead of me going back to maple, why dont u go to a FARM. HEE-HAW! a donkey smarter than me! AMAZING! WHOS ACTING CRAZY HERE? such a hypocrite =.= FYI: every country does the press limitation, even the US, so what makes the pap seem so bad? im not a PAP 'dog', i just vote for a LOGICAL CHOICE, unlike you, WHO IS THE ONE WHOA CTS CRAZY=.=

0.0 ? u should see a CAT pyschiatrist, i've heard they're the best in the world ^^ *meow*meow*meow; dun understand what the cat just said, perhaps u could interpret that for me, since u have so much hope in cats, dogs, and birds ruling over us?
You sound like the whore I stop patronizing. Cos she moan "PAP" "AH PAP" instead of the wooo & ahhhh

Define elite, if elite is referred to someone who is better than you, then your world is full of elites and I'm just one of them.
Of course I am comfortable with my life and ready to die anytime. Are you coming to kill me soon?
If you are talking about communism, then you need to ask the public first. I am currently in zero income, how do you imagined it is going to affect me? Why should I be angry at people who desired for my opinions?
You need to know Thaksin personally then. He's not Thak-SIN for no reasons.
What makes you think I was born rich? I remembered I was born naked, just like everyone in this world.
I was blind, that's why I can see the difference between visual blindness and mental blindness. Alot of Singaporeans have mental blindness.
Keep hoping for it, because nobody will ever want to be like you or desired to be you. On the other hand, I can understand if you wished you had me or even know me.

Please do not cast aspersions on others as I am merely expressing my views as a citizen. Have feeling that you are barking up the wrong tree as i dont even belong to any party.
Define mental blindness!? elite!!!
Yeah by the way the so call elite! Read Dare82 post probably before you shoot like a whore again.
Just like when others planned to go Northward, you jump in say OK!! But running South!! You are very disconnected.
Oh!! Maybe business must be bad for you in GL, cos you are getting zero income nowadays. And yes, I still dont patronize you, so stop hinting to me.

Why you go and exclaimed that you need to pay in order to buy some fabricated love and soul-less sex to make up for your lack of charm and ability to attract?
You need to tell us that you are a morally-inpaired and balding pervert?
Just like you who need to sell in order to survive and pay internet bill so that you can continue to post like an "elite".
Yap maybe I lack of charm and ability to attract but I still have fund for fun. You got?! Without we pervert, you think you can survive.
Oh yea, zero income for you.. so sorry. Wonder got upgrade program available for you on your trade..???
