Singapore Chicken

Many Singaporeans are very scared to speak out against the

the Government publicly. What is frightening and threatening

them?

As an example, during last year's Chinese New Year reunion dinner,

the men were discussing about certain government policies.

I mean we meet once a year to talk about such things or anything
in fact.

My dear sister cautioned us not to speak so loud

because we could get into trouble. She is a grassroot leader.

My sister typifies an average Singaporean's fear to criticise
Government ministers publicly.

I asked her how so? I mean who is going to arrest us, the police
or ISD ? She was bombarded by the guys at the
table for being so naive and stereotyped. And believe me,
she is the stereotype of most Singaporeans I know.

Even though voting is guaranteed to be secret many foolish

civil servants, and even businessmen, are worried about being
found out, if they vote against the ruling party. This is because

ballot papers are numbered. The numbering trick, whether intentional
or not, is scaring the hell out of many chicken heart Singaporeans.

And this even though the elections here are the cleanest in the world

and voting secrecy is guaranteed.

Singaporeans know our Prime Ministers, past and present,
have successfully sued various newspapers and opposition
party members. Are most Singaporeans afraid to be sued by

PM Lee or other ministers too?

Or is it the ISA law that scares them.

Government can use Internal Security Act to imprison any
person without trial or court order.

I think these are the reasons Singaporeans are so scared

to offend their Prime Minister and government .

I know, its hard to believe that a first world city people
could be like that, but it's true.

You know, it does not mean that a critic of the Government

has to hate it. But keeping quiet and

not airing or speaking out your unhappiness over any

Government policy, and allowing them to do as they want,

is like being untrue to yourself , family and country.
