There is freedom of speech in Singapore. However, if "they" don't like your speech, there may not be any freedom after the speech.

I love to attend but I don't want to be on "candid camera". Very chaklat later, don't pray pray eh!!!!

Best of luck Bro.; December 25, 2009 11:51 PM

Vincent Sear said...: I agree that Chinese New Year season is not a good time to talk about Singaporeans versus foreigners. The majority of Singaporeans are ethnic Chinese and the majority of foreigners in Singapore are also ethnic Chinese from Malaysia and China. All celebrate the same Chinese New Year. The festivities bring upfront many things we share in common rather than differences.; December 26, 2009 9:43 AM

What it means? Our voice is just to small or insignificant to move them. They know they can do whatever they like or want e.g. raise their own salary with the reason that they have not raise for a long time. But they are smart enough not to compare with outher countries politicians' salary which they normal do except that this time round, they are the most expensive.; December 29, 2009 12:08 PM

Do not blame the PAP or the 66.6%.
I'll try my best to be there.
In Singapore, nowadays, if you do not " complain" / Write/ call when someting is not right, do not expect the "man-in-Charge" to do someting. They are waiting for Statistics, and then maybe...; February 15, 2010 12:35 PM
