Saw a snippet of a netizen’s blog post on Facebook – he was praising MM Lee in the post. He definitely raised the heckles of some people – considering the alleged seditious (alleged because some people in the government have either casually brushed aside the Old Man’s comments or defended him), this blogger should expect some not-very-nice remarks to his blog post.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, of course. But sometimes, one has to wonder from which well did some people crawl out of. And what kind of people has the Singapore education system been producing?
Case in point: The infamous “MM Lee is Singapore’s Nelson Mandela” from a YPAP leader.
Whoa, seriously.
One is a Nobel Prize winner who was jailed for more than two decades, fighting against the Apartheid.
The other jailed “alleged” political dissidents for several decades (without trial) and triggered potential racial discord with his latest book.
Perhaps some people are determined to be blissfully ignorant to stay out of trouble.
What's up, Singapore?
