security is my right as citizen

and i am alittle taken aback and alittle disappointed that our government has given in to those (the IMF-World Bank, the CSOs and etc.) who do not understand our small and geographically-challenged and vulnerable country

taken aback only "alittle" because i know it's too much for such a small country like us 4 million peeps to outsay the rest of the world, but still taken aback nonetheless

i do not wish for singapore to "enjoy" protests which hamper, obstruct, or impose any form of unnecessary and unwanted disturbances to singaporean's generally free and safe daily lives. i am free because of the politcal and economic stability which i get to enjoy as a citizen of singapore. i do not need to bribe any civil servants or traffic police here, which i have had to do countless times in my past trips to regional countries who supposedly enjoy their fucking freedom of speech. if i'm a business owner, i will not suffer when some riot breaks out, when there is more often than desired power outtages, when the government decides to not repair, maintain or even build necessary infrastructure because it is too busy dealing with other shit

i think it is just pure plain BULL when A says that he is willing to listen and work things out with B, but only if B protests in a group or do perform various antics and foreplay, that will hopefully engage A's interest and attention, and reactions
