| Its not just free speech (which ironically takes care of other issues as it allows proper multi-party politics and being able to 'talk to power' without reprisal). Its also LEO abuse because their system allows unlimited detention without charge. Homosexual rights are non-existant: Prime Minster Lee Hsien Loong has spoken dismissively of the challenges to article 377A: “Why is that law on the books? Because it’s always been there and I just think we leave it. I think that’s the way Singapore will be for a long time.” If that wasn't bad enough: Singapore’s Media Development Authority issued a regulation effective on June 1 that banned major news websites available in Singapore from “advocating homosexuality or lesbianism.” All Foreign domestic workers are excluded from the Employment Act, which provides employment protections. Its easy to sit here on your expensive computer and fast internet connection in a Western country and pretend living under a regime like this is wonderful. You're not a gay man being jailed for loving your partner or a poor Philipino being beaten by his employer because he cant work 18 hour shifts everyday. Apparently, curtailing speech didn't fix these issues, so why are you advocating for it? >I actually like that there's lots of little experiments going on, We've gone down this path a million times. Its not surprising that it brings the same results as before. |
